Chapter 136
Michael’s heart was full of mixed feelings. He could only pray for her safety besides waiting…
In the president’s office of Yancey Group, Jack felt quite confused. Why didn’t Michael answer his phone call? Why hadn’t he gone to the clubhouse?
It was so weird. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
At this moment, the landline phone rang and Jack answered, “Hello,”
“Mr. Yancey, you are not optimistic about the cooperation, aren’t you?” James’ assistant said politely, “Didn’t you say that Michael would come here in person? We’ve been waiting in the clubhouse but haven’t seen him yet. It’s almost been an hour since we began to wait, and time means money for Mr. Cook.”
“Please tell Mr. Cook that I will come in person.” After saying that, he hung up.
Jack didn’t contact Michael anymore. He walked out of the office, took an elevator downstairs, and went out of the hall. The driver opened the front passenger door of the Maserati for him. Then he got in.
The driver started the car quickly.
Although the clubhouse was a little far away from downtown, Maserati arrived in less than ten minutes.
When the car was about to slow down and enter the clubhouse, Jack inadvertently saw a familiar car parked outside the car window.
He paid special attention to the license plate of the car and recognized it was Violet’s car. Why was she here?
“Stop.”
The Maserati stopped immediately at his order.
Jack got out of the car and came to Violet’s car. He opened the door and didn’t see her. “The car was unlocked and she wasn’t in it?” She thought.
He turned to look at the clubhouse and wondered why she was there.
It was not her habit to leave the car unlocked.
Jack looked down and saw a trace of struggling and dragging, which was eye-catching, just beside the cab!
His heart ski pped a beat. Then he frowned and squatted down to observe carefully, only to find the clear high-heel prints of the woman and the drag marks. He stood up to walk along the drag marks for a distance and then saw the wheel marks…
As he sensed something, Jack stood up with his heart suddenly tightening!
Oh, no! Something happened!
He took out his phone to dial her number, but no one answered it. An ominous feeling suddenly came at him!
Was she kidnapped?!
At this moment, his phone rang. He looked down immediately and found that it was Michael’s call. He answered it and gently put his phone close to his ear, saying, “Where are you now?”
“Hospital.” Michael’s voice was low.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jack said in a worried tone.
He said, “I’m fine. Ms. Violet Yeager is injured.”
Jack’s heart tightened again on hearing that and then he said anxiously, “I’ll be there soon.”
He came to the cab, opened the door, and ordered the driver, “Get off! Drive that car to the hospital!”
As soon as the driver got out of the car, Jack got into the cab immediately and left!!
At this moment in the clubhouse, the assistant made a cup of coffee for Jack and said, “Mr. Cook, do you think Mr. Yancey will apologize to you when he comes?”
“Haha,” said James, who sat on the sofa and was happy to wait. “I’d like to see how he will apologize. As a successful businessman at such a young age, he probably hasn’t apologized to anyone yet.”
“Mr. Yancey is so young and arrogant that he never thinks highly of others.”
“No, he’s very principled. He can even persuade Jared to cooperate with him, so he must have something special. You know Jared never cooperates with anyone because of his reputation.”
“That makes sense.”
“He should be here soon. After all, it’s not far from the Yancey Group.”
At this moment, in a VIP advanced care ward of Paramount Hospital, the warm sunshine filtered through the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The breeze was blowing the curtains and it was very quiet in the ward.
Violet’s forehead was wrapped with gauze, and the bleeding had been stopped. She lay flat on the bed with her eyes closed, and her face turned pale due to excessive blood loss.
One of her hands was put on a drip, while the other was in a blood transfusion.
Michael stood in front of the hospital bed and stared at her sadly with a heavy heart.
Mr. Yancey would know it sooner or later, so Michael called him.
Michael knew his position very well. The girl lying on the bed was the one he would never get in all his life, so he could only watch her from a distance and keep his love in his heart.
From the very beginning, Violet and Mr. Yancey were arranged together by fate. Destination was something beyond everyone’s control.
After working for Mr. Yancey for so many years, Michael had long known that he truly loved Violet.
Mr. Yancey never lacked excellent admirers, but he had never treated them seriously.
And Violet had already worn a wedding dress for Mr. Yancey, which was destined for them. They even had sex twice with each other.
Thinking of this, Michael just felt a pr ick in his heart. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
It was the first time that Michael had a crush on a girl since childhood, including school days.
Jack pushed the door open and walked in. Michael opened his eyes and turned around…” Mr. Yancey.”
Jack rushed to the bed and looked at Violet in disbelief, as well as her pale face, her bloodless lips and the hanging blood bag…” He clenched his fists, frowned at Michael, and asked h
, “What happened? Why?”
Jack had seen the trace of struggle, so he guessed she could not have got into Michael’s car!
Michael told him everything in detail, and then bowed his head to apologize. “Sorry, I didn’t meet James in time.”
He saved Violet, so how could Jack blame him for that?
Meet the f ucking James? Forget it!
“You took photos of those ba stards and license plate. I think we can find out the truth.” Jack’s dark eyes were as sharp as that of a cheetah’s, “I’ll leave it to you!”
“Don’t worry. I will find out the truth.”
Then Michael bowed to him and said, “I’m going to the company now.” Then he turned around.
“Hold on.”
Michael stopped and was a little worried that Jack would see through his mind.
Jack asked with concern, “Are you alright? Do you need an examination?”
“No need.” He turned his eyes and smiled as he said, “I’m fine.”
Jack nodded and watched Michael leave.
Then he stayed in front of the bed and waited for Violet to wake up. His deep eyes were filled with anxiety. “Who dared to do that to her, he was courting death!
Was it Armand, Samantha, Or Theo?
At this moment, James, who had been waiting for a long time in the clubhouse, finally pounded the table and jumped to his feet.
“Jack simply doesn’t take me seriously! He said she would come here in person. See what time it is?!”
“Mr. Cook, did he do it on purpose?” The assistant was also confused, “He would have arrived much earlier if he really intends to come. I heard that Michael is very punctual and never makes any mistakes.”
After waiting for a long time, James was already very angry, and his assistant’s words just added fuel to the flames, which made him furious instantly!
“The Yancey Group has moved into top gear recently. Jack simply ignored us seniors!” The middle- aged man’s eyes darkened as he said, “It looks as if we have to play up to the Yancey Group and we can’t live without the Yancey Group?!”
“Mr. Cook, could it be that Mr. Yancey has been delayed by something important?” The other assistant was very calm and still looked on the bright side, “After all, it’s not easy for our company to cooperate with the Yancey Group. The meeting today is the result of our joint efforts, and we are just one step away from the contract.”
“I really want to cooperate with him! “But look at their attitude!” James glanced at him coldly and said, “They stood us up twice, once for his assistant Michael and once for himself! If he doesn’t take us seriously, how could the cooperation continue? Call the president of the Grande Group right now! I’m going to meet him and talk about cooperation with him!”
