Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 “I’m almost at the office.” Michael was delighted, but his face maintained its aloofness. He did not like to smile. “Mm.” The phone call ended. ‘It’s fortunate that Jared is coming,’ Michael thought. ‘Mr. Yancey will be in high spirits, so he won’t bear a grudge against the way I managed to fetch Miss Yeager.’ He had successfully dodged a bullet. Jared was a very important potential business partner for the Yancey Group; the company had been following up with Jared for three whole years. Jack had finally beaten all other competitors. He had won the approval of the Yancey Group’s board of directors for that. The scenery at the old Yancey manor was beautiful and alluring. Senior Yancey went into the living hall right after Violet’s departure. Zephyr and Dustin stayed by his side. He sat down to a chess set and moved a chess piece. His wrinkled face was slightly somber. “Send Theo Yeager a warning for me. Violet Yeager is a Yancey now. If he dares touch so much as a single hair on her head again, I’ll personally ensure that nothing is left of the Yeagers for Theo to ever get back on his feet with.” “Yes,” Zephyr and Dustin nodded in acknowledgment. There was a piercing look in the old man’s eyes. He had been a groundbreaking giant in the industry many years ago and was still very much renowned in today’s world. There were so many women out there who would do anything to marry Jack. On the contrary, this young lady here had been offered an entire wedding- but she had rejected him! This quality had won Senior Yancey’s heart. At that moment, a luxury car drove in and was soon parked in the front yard.

Ser vants and guards were standing in a line on the grass in front of the mansion. The car door opened. A middle-aged lady dressed in trendy and elegant attire got out of the car. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Good day, madam,” The entire line of ser vants and guards bowed in greeting. This welcoming ceremony was a little solemn. She was Samantha Ziegler, Jack’s stepmother. She had just returned from a vacation overseas. Lily came out from the door and welcomed her with a respectful bow. “Good evening, madam.” Lily then accompanied her. “Has Jack’s grandfather returned to the country?” Samatha smiled. “Where is he? Is he here?” “He’s in the living hall.” Samantha began walking into the house. The tailor-made figure-hugging dress adorned with hand embroidery, coupled with her graceful gait, perfected the curves of her waist and hips. She had just passed through the front doors when she saw Zephyr and Dustin standing next to Senior Yancey, who was sitting on the couch. Her eyes flashed. “Dad,” Samantha walked towards him with a beam. “You’re back?” Senior Yancey was setting up the chessboard. “Come, sit.” “Good day, madam.” Zephyr and Dustin greeted her. Samantha smiled at them. As she turned away to sit down on a corner of the couch, a realization hit her. Hoho. Jack had found a way to install his ears and eyes here. “You’re back at just the right time. Come and play chess with me,” Senior Yancey invited. “Sure.” She smiled faintly. “How have you been feeling?” “Pretty good, same ol’ same ol”,” Lily came to them with a fresh teapot of beverage and refreshments. “I’m sorry dad. Some problems arose during my recent trips so I wasn’t able to get home in time.” Samantha had even missed the fascinating wedding. She regretted it somewhat. “There’s nothing to apologize for. I came back quite abruptly.” Senior Yancey did not blame her. Naturally, Samantha did not bring up the topic of the wedding. A wise woman like her would not touch his nerves on

purpose. 1/2 10:51 Chapter 32 She had seen the news. The Yanceys had been humiliated and there had been egg on Jack Yancey’s face. She really wanted to see that kid when the opportunity comes. After playing two rounds of chess with her father, Samantha glanced at Lily. “Have you brought my luggage upstairs?” “I’ve put them in your room.” Samantha stood up. “I’m going to take a bath, dad. I’ll be down in a while and have dinner with you.” “Alright.” Having received his okay, she headed upstairs with Lily following her from behind. The two women went into Samantha’s room. Lily gently closed and locked the door; her eyes were downcast. She was feeling slightly nervous. Samantha came to a stop. Her cold eyes swept over the housekeeper slightly. “When did Zephyr and Dustin come? Why didn’t you report such an important thing to me in time?” she reproved.
