Chapter 118
Michael withdrew his eyesight and looked down at Charlotte. Then he found a slight change in Charlotte’s expression, but he was still calm.
Charlotte darkened her heart and took two steps back. She frowned and looked at Michael with a questioning look.
Michael asked gently, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Do you… do you like Violet?” A question popped into Charlotte’s heart.
Michael thought for a while and asked, “Why do you think so?”
“I guess. No, I find it.” Charlotte said again.
“Don’t think too much.” Michael knew very well that Violet was Jack’s woman and she had slept with Jack. To make it clear to Charlotte, Michael said, “No.” Then he looked at the podium.
At this moment, Jack had finished his speech. A waiter, who stood beside Jack, was pouring champagne. The audience sounded warm applause.
Suddenly, the light of the whole banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and the lighting became dense and warm. The atmosphere also reached a climax.
Jack stood in front of the microphone, and he suddenly could not see anything, but he was still smiling.
Violet instinctively walked to the podium, while Michael also walked to the podium quickly. He left Charlotte there alone, which made Charlotte feel confused.
Violet walked to Jack and took Jack’s hands. “It’s me,” Violet whispered, holding the goblet in her other hand. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Michael took a step slower, but he also appeared next to the flowers on the podium. He looked at Jack and Violet and walked towards the champagne tower without hesitation as if nothing had happened.
Jack felt warm in his heart. All the guests were watching them and wondering, “What’s going on? Are they displaying their affection in public? Will they officially announce their relationship?” Someone even whispered with anticipation.
It was not dim in the banquet hall, but Jack could not see anything.
The music lingered softly. Violet handed the glass to the waiter beside her. Then she smiled and whispered. “How about having a dance?” Violet stayed close to Jack and looked at Jack’s handsome face. Then she put her other hand on Jack’s shoulder.
Violet and Michael looked at each other for a moment. A few moments later, Michael turned around and got off the stage. The main light must be on immediately.
She was like a light for Jack and appeared in front of him in time. Jack stretched out his hand and held Violet’s shoulder gently. Then they danced to the music.
The audience applauded again. Others all looked at Violet and Jack with envy.
Jack remained silent. He looked gentle and wore a smile. Violet stopped saying anything. She was the second person who knew Jack’s secret, and instinctively, she should protect Jack.
Jack and Violet danced gracefully. It seemed that they had practiced this well in advance.
It was the first time for Jack to dance with a woman. They cooperated well, and both of them were good at dancing.
“How many secrets does Violet have? She is so good at dancing, so she must have attended many important occasions, right? She isn’t the abandoned daughter of the Yeagers but a woman who always appears at the parties of celebrities.” Jack thought.
When the dance was over, the lights in the banquet hall went bright.
Jack saw Violet in front of him. Violet was so beautiful with a pair of shining eyes. This woman looked attractive. For a moment, Jack felt that he almost lost himself.
Jack stared at Violet affectionately.
Violet possessed a pair of exquisite eyes, exuding allure and charisma.
The warm applause from the audience interrupted their thoughts.
“Is this girl Mr. Yancey’s girlfriend?” one whispered.
“It should be,” answered another.
“The media has photographed them before. Mr. Yancey even took her to Goldbay Estate and spend a night. So this girl must be Mr. Yancey’s girlfriend” added someone else,
But she went home with another man the next day and was also on the news. Don’t Mr. Yancey know this?” asked one of the crowds.
I have no idea, but it is strange, Mr. Yancey is such a good man, and why did she way with others? People Vepe whispering
Jack and Violet loosened their hands, and they took steps toward the audience,
In an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall, a man stared at Jack and Violer walking off the ways. He kept thinking about what had happened just now.
He analyzed in his heart, ‘When the light turned dim, Jack did not show his flaw. But Michael and Violet went on the stage at the same time, and they were all fast. This woman was even faster than Michaed.
Michael was even stunned for a moment before walking to the champagne tower. Obviously, he was not there to do something. There were already three waiters, and the cup tower had been set up long ago
Michael is a special assistant, and he doesn’t need to do such a thing
So what’s the problem?
Jack has never worked overtime or attended any banquets for so many years. Why?
As a modern man, why doesn’t he go out at night?
The man was losing in thought. A few moments later, he picked up his phone and told Samantha what had happened. He could not figure everything out, so he just threw these questions to Samantha.
In the Yancey manor, a bright moon hung high outside. The door of the master bedroom closed. Samantha frowned slightly and asked, “Are you sure Michael was not helping Champagne tower?”
“Yes, I’m sure”
“Did you turn off the main light?” Samantha asked.
“I accidentally turned the light off, answered the man.
“Michael is careful. If there is something wrong with Jack’s eyes, the light in the hall will not turn dim. He will find someone to guard the switch. You said that the light was not very dim. And although you stood far away, you could see the movement on the stage, Can’t Jack see it?”
“I feel strange, too. The man was still thinking, “I’m sure that this dance is not arranged in advance, Violet even communicated with Jack before he walked to the podium. This whole process wasn’t so smooth, the man said firmly, and he believed his judgment.
Samantha darkened her eyes. “Then you should always keep an eye on them, Jack must have a secret. Otherwise, how can the president of the company not work overtime? Irene and Robin are both his good friends, but Jack has never gathered with them at night. It’s unusual unless Jack has some secrets”
“There is only one possibility that Jack refuses to go out at night. That is, he can’t see anything at night? The man suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen before, so he made a conclusion. “Does Jack have night blindness or other diseases?”
“We can’t guess, and we need evidence!” Samantha looked at the deep night outside the window, and something flashed in her eyes. “Only when we get the evidence and hand it to Mr. Josef Yancey can we persuade Jack to go to see a doctor? Eyes are important to a person. One can’t be blind to this”
“Mrs. Yancey, don’t worry. I will continue to keep an eye on this,” said the man.
“Be careful, Jack and Michael are smart. No matter what happens, you can’t confess to me. As long as I am safe, you and your family will have a great life. You don’t need to worry about making a living, Samantha said as a reminder to him.
“I see. Thank you, Mrs. Yancey,” answered the man.
Samantha furthered, “Go ahead. If something happens, tell me immediately
“Okay”
After hanging up, Samantha sat alone at the window and thought for a long time. Then she revealed a proud smile. It was easy to judge whether there was something, wrong, with Jack’s eyes. If she wanted to know this, she could make an appointment with Jack. Then she would know everything.
Jack never went back to the Yancey manor for dinner… Thinking of this, Samantha was sure about her guess.
