Chapter 83
Jack rolled down the window and a breeze blew on his handsome face. His dark eyes were glittering with wisdom.
After a while, the white Maserati passed by the black SUV in which Violet was!
Jack and Violet didn’t see each other because the speed of the cars was too fast.
In the black SUV, after calmly pondering, Violet looked at Armand. “What do you want? If you want to kill me, I deserve a reason.
Where are you taking me to?” She didn’t scream or feel scared.
Armand expected that Violet would stay calm even if she was kidnapped. He knew Violet was not some kind of ordinary girl.
But he didn’t answer Violet’s question. He looked sophisticated and scheming.
Violet knew it was just a waste of time. She was furious. She had an appointment with Theo and was ready for a good show. But
it was all destroyed by Armand! She was angry that she had to explain all this to Theo later!
The car sped on the road for nearly half an hour.
Violet thought they must have left the city because she saw the mountain which she and Jack had climbed!
“Where are you taking me?” Violet suddenly frowned and said loudly, “Tell me!”
Armand smiled gently and finally said, “I’m taking you to Heaven, Ms. Yeager.”
Violet found that Armand was not joking.
“What did I do to you to deserve this?” Violet became nervous. “We only met once, right?”
Armand said leisurely, “It is enough.” He looked down and fiddled with the ring on his thumb.
Violet forced herself to calm down. She knew that she must live, thinking about her mother who relied on her!
Violet thought, ‘I can’t die because of such a meaningless thing!
It’s ridiculous!’
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Violet. She stared at the back of Armand’s head. She looked fierce now. She gritted her teeth and
struggle. But her hands were tied and she didn’t break free at all.
After about a minute, Violet slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She kept staring at Armand.
The car was still racing.
Armand’s men were on both sides of Violet. But Violet was not scared at all.
She hadn’t used her skills for three years. Now, it was about time.
At this time, the white Maserati drove onto the road toward the island. The sun shone on the sea and the waves sparkled. It was
particularly beautiful.
Jack didn’t drive very fast. He held the steering wheel with one hand and put the other hand on the window sill casually, enjoying
the pleasant scenery outside the window.
‘Has Violet arrived?
Suddenly, he was a little upset. He thought, “She won’t be there, right?”
At this time, in the Yancey manor, Dawn was playing chess with Josef in the living room. Her arrival made the atmosphere
convivial.
“Time passes so fast. You’ve grown up.” Josef looked up at Dawn and smiled kindly, “You guys are reminding me that I am old!”
Dawn said, “Grandpa Josef, I think you’re still as strong as before. You never changed. Time served
you
well.”
Josef said, “You are so sweet.”
Samantha was very pleased to hear the laughter coming from the living room.
As long as someone played chess with him, Josef would be in a good mood. And Dawn was skilled at chess.
Josef moved the chess pieces and said, “You had been staying abroad for quite a long time. Have you adapted to the new
surroundings here?”

“I’m doing okay.” Dawn said in a sweet and gentle voice, “I can adapt myself to new surroundings quickly. And it feels like home
here. Grandpa Josef, don’t you think so? It gives me a sense of belonging here.”
Josef said, “Yes, this is home.” And then he mused, “Beautiful words.”
The white Maserati got on the island and stopped in the yard.
“Grandpa Josef, is Jack back?” Dawn looked back and asked excitedly, “Is that his car?”
Josef said, “Yes.”
Josef was delighted. He looked at the yard through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Jack open the door, get out of the car,
and walk over alone. Josef’s smile froze on his lips.
Josef thought, “Where’s Violet? Why isn’t she with him?”
Josef hurriedly stood up and walked toward the door. Dawn also got up happily. She quickly combed her hair and adjusted her
clothes.
Jack entered the living room. “Grandpa.” Josef looked around and didn’t see Violet. He stared at Dawn for a few seconds and
wondered why she was here.
“Jack, you’re back.” Samantha greeted Jack with a smile. “Great. Let’s have lunch together.”
Jack said lightly, “Mom.” Then he shot her a brief glance.
But Samantha kept smiling. As long as Jack was back, her scheme would work.
“Where is Violet?” Josef asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you bring her back?” His words were a mixture of question and reproof.
This upset Samantha but she had to bear with it.
Suddenly, Lily handed Dawn a glass of milk and whispered, “Give this to Mr. Jack Yancey.”
Dawn took it and walked to Jack holding the glass. She smiled, “Hello, Jack. Do you remember me?” She tried to change the
topic about Violet.
Jack looked at Dawn but didn’t answer her question.
Dawn said, “I’m Dawn. We met when I was a child.” She felt embarrassed. She thought, “Didn’t Auntie tell me that he cared
about me all the time? Why doesn’t he remember my name?”
Jack looked at Dawn and Samantha and figured out what was happening.
Dawn handed the glass of milk to Jack and smiled warmly, “You must be tired after driving for so long. Have a glass of milk to
quench your thirst.”
Jack didn’t want to take the glass because he didn’t want to talk with anyone surnamed Ziegler.
Josef said, “Jack.” He looked at Jack and then at the glass, reminding Jack to be polite.
So, Jack said gently, “Thank you.” Then he took the glass and drank it. Then he walked toward the sofa.
Samantha’s eyes were fixed on Jack. After Jack drank the milk, she was overjoyed.
Samantha thought, ‘Don’t pretend to be aloof.
Things will totally change soon!
Jack looked back at Josef and asked, “Grandpa, why do you think I should bring Violet back home?” He wanted to reopen this
topic. All he wanted to talk about now was Violet.
Then Jack sat down on the sofa and took another sip of the milk.
Josef said in confusion, “I called her but it was rejected. I called her again and found her phone had been turned off. I thought
you guys were together.”
Hearing this, Jack tightened his grip on the glass. He frowned slightly and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Jack turned around and asked, “When did that happen?”
Everyone noticed that he was nervous.
Josef said, “About an hour ago.”
Jack put down the glass and took out his phone. He quickly opened an App. After a while, a woman’s voice came from the
phone. “How will my death benefit you? I don’t think ever offended you. We barely know each other! Why did you do this

to me? Is it because of Jack or Theo? If you have to kill me, give me a reason!”
It was Violet’s voice! Obviously, Jack was not calling her!
Everyone looked at his phone in surprise and realized that Violet was in danger!
Then they heard Armand’s cold voice coming from the phone. “Will you feel aggrieved if I tell you it’s because of Jack?”
