Chapter 148
There was a hint of a smile on his usually stern face. “I’m not joking. I’ll take responsibility for every word I’ve said.”
Violet looked at Jack with her beautiful eyes and her lips curled up as she took a second sip of the oatmeal.
She said, “I’ll take this money. How much do you have in the three cards? Is it enough to cover these 6 million dollars?”
It had been a while since Violet received the cards, but she had not checked them yet?
“Let’s be clear, I’ll pay the 6 million dollars additionally.” Jack’s meaning was clear.
“Are you sure?” asked Violet.
“I am sure.” Jack looked sincerely at Violet and continued, “You can really charge your annual salary as you please. I admire your work.”
After a while, Violet said, “I want to see my Mom. Is she doing okay?”
“When you’ve fully recovered, I’ll go see her with you.” Jack’s voice was gentle. “She’s doing well and is used to living there”
Violet believed that Jack had never abused her mother from the beginning and she felt at ease. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Don’t burden you with that, come and have some oatmeal,” said Jack.
Violet obediently opened her mouth.
Such a prominent and influential figure, the leader of the Empire’s first family, a young man who possessed billions of assets at a young age, was personally feeding her oatmeal here?
If this were to get out, it would probably be the headline for a week, right?
As Violet stared at Jack, she was lost in her thoughts.
She wondered, “How can there be such a handsome man?”
After breakfast, someone came in and pushed away the small cart and Jack also had his breakfast.
“Aren’t you planning to go to the company today?” Violet looked at Jack, whose schedule was supposed to be full every day and be planned a week in advance.
Jack’s gentle gaze fell on Violet. “Do you have amnesia? What did I say last night?”
Jack had said that he wouldn’t leave until Violet was discharged.
Violet thought Jack had just casually mentioned it at that time but didn’t expect it to be true.
At that moment, Jack’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered, “Go ahead”
The person on the other end of the phone reported softly…
“Mr. Yancey, this man’s name is Usama. We have found out about his background but he refuses to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. We also checked his call records and the number he has been in close contact with recently is now disconnected and canceled. The previous owner of that number was an old lady, so it seems the SIM card was not registered under a real name. It looks like he is well-prepared.”
“I see.” Jack wasn’t worried at all. “With his family’s situation known, why did he refuse to confess? I’ll be there soon.”
After finishing the sentence, Jack ended the call.
Violet sat by the bedside, looking at his tall and slender figure and asking, “What’s wrong?” It felt like something had happened.
Confess?
Jack turned his gaze towards Violet, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Nothing serious.” Then he dialed Zephyr’s number and spoke in a low voice, “Zephyr, come to the hospital.” After that, Jack ended the call. Having Zephyr come instead of Michael, Jack did it on purpose.
Violet sitting on the bed couldn’t help but feel worried. “What’s going on? Who’s confessing what?”
“Nothing at all. Don’t worry. Take care of yourself. Zephyr will come to keep you company.” Jack reassured her, “I need to run some errands. I won’t be gone for more than two hours. Be good.”
“Zephyr?” Violet repeated the name.
“He’s one of my subordinates and he is highly skilled and trustworthy.” Jack certainly wouldn’t mention that he had once sent Zephyr to track her.

“What happened exactly?” Violet wondered.
Jack still didn’t tell Violet and she didn’t ask anymore.
In the Yancey manor, Samantha’s car had just arrived and parked when she saw Zephyr come out of the living room and get into another car, and quickly drive away.
“Where is Zephyr going?” she thought.
Samantha was shocked a little bit and she sat in the driver’s seat for a while surrounded by a sense of unease.
She took out her phone and checked if everything was done and then she would change her SIM card and call Usama to ask about the situation. She wouldn’t feel at case until she knew everything was settled.
Samantha had to make sure that everything was done and Usama left Rheinsville City safely before she would feel at ease. At the hospital.
Jack received another phone call and the person on the other end of the line told him, “Mr. Yancey, the drugs have been analyzed. They contain three substances that can cause brain damage and the dosage is significant. If they are injected into the body, the person will be basically incapacitated with a confused state of mind, and it will be difficult to treat.”
Jack stood by the window and his gaze sharp as a blade!
This was too terrifying! He had to find out who the mastermind behind this was today!
It was too dangerous to leave someone like that around Violet!
Anticipating Zephyr’s arrival, Jack approached the bed. He held Violet’s hand with a touch of fear, looking at her sorrowfully. If he hadn’t been there just now, would that person have succeeded?
“What’s wrong with you?” Violet felt that something was off.
Jack suddenly reached out and held her shoulder, leaning forward to embrace her. The only one of his kind in the world, he was genuinely afraid of losing Violet.
This embrace stirred something in Violet’s heart, devoid of any ambiguity. It was more like a scared child afraid of losing
someone.
“What happened?” Violet couldn’t help but ask again, “What happened exactly?”
“I’ll give you an explanation when I find out,” Jack whispered softly in her ear.
Not long after, Zephyr entered the room. “Mr. Yancey, Ms. Yeager.”
“Zephyr, please take good care of her.” Jack’s tone was firm and his gaze towards Zephyr was full of trust.
“Yes, sir!”
Zephyr had never disappointed Jack in his actions and had a track record of success since joining him!
Watching Jack’s departing figure, Violet’s face remained calm but she was very puzzled and wondered, “What happened in the corridor outside this morning?”
The Yancey Group, in a heavily guarded and spa cious conference room.
Usama sat nervously on a curved sofa, devoid of any presence. Although he wasn’t scared out of his wits, his cautious mannerism even in breathing made him appear timid!
Ten well-trained bodyguards in black suits were present and Michael was there as well.
Michael had just figured out the ins and outs of the situation and looked at Usama with an icy gaze.” Mr. Yancey will be here soon. He will thoroughly investigate the matter that he considers important. You’d better decide whether you want to confess on your own or wait for us to dig it out.”
Usama’s mind went blank.
Michael was looking at his stunned state and reminded him, “The bottle of medicine has already been tested and found to be problematic. If you don’t honestly confess, considering Mr. Yancey’s character, that medicine will undoubtedly be injected into your body.”
Usama on the sofa suddenly raised his head, looking at Michael with fear and anxiety!
“Who is he? Wearing a long black trench coat with an upturned collar, his eyes are as cold as ice, like a demon standing in front of me.” thought Usama.
Soon, footsteps approached.
Usama looked panic-stricken towards the door.

Chapter 148
With one hand in his pocket and the other holding the medicine bottle, Jack appeared at the door, walking inside with at chilling stride, exuding a dangerous and stern aura.
“Mr. Yancey.”
Everyone bowed, including Michael.
As soon as Jack appeared, the overall atmosphere in the room got tense. Usama felt a chill at the back of his head.
