Chapter 60
Jack was in a good mood because the deal had been successfully signed. He looked at her. “So I’m in love now, am I?” His deep, magnetic voice wafted into her ears. There was not a trace of blame or dissatisfaction in it.
Violet took a step back and frowned, trying to explain, “I was helping you! Please don’t take it to heart, the matter’s over anyway. I’ve already forgotten about it!”
“Miss Yeager, do you mean… that you can take back what you’ve said?” Jack pretended to think. “I won’t take it to heart, but what about Jared? This is a big deal.”
“He’ll forget it too! How can he remember this when he’s so busy?” Violet raised her voice, but she had no confidence in her own words.
“Will he forget it? You know it well yourself.” Jack looked at her and reminded softly, “Jared has left with this piece of news. Do you
think you can still set things right? We may even make headlines tomorrow.”
Violet suddenly felt strangely uneasy when he said that.
After all, Jack controlled Rheinsville City’s biggest financial group. His every move was the focal point of the world’s attention. He owned assets worth billions and, due to the fact that he had always been single, his relationship status was under even more scrutiny.
The situation had gotten to a point where Violet could no longer explain things to Jared. She was troubled.
Jack looked at her with eyes as deep as the ocean, studying the changes in Violet’s expression. He had suddenly become a very patient man.

In the next moment, Violet let out a soft sigh. She lifted her gaze and said, “I wasn’t thinking much at the time, I just wanted to send him away for your sake!”
Her words warmed him up. Jack had guessed as much, but hearing her say it personally pulled at his heartstrings. Ever since he was a kid, no one other than his grandfather had ever been so protective of him like this.
She was the second.
Facing his gaze, Violet explained, “You definitely don’t want anyone to know about your eyes, and Jared is here. What if he wants to invite you to watch the stars and the moon at night? He has this habit of taking a walk in the gardens after dinner. Could you refuse to accompany him?”
An explanation had not been necessary; Jack knew what her intentions were. He was not angry at all, let alone would he blame her for it.
Standing on the lawn in front of her, Jack was unsmiling, which made him look imposing. “What is your relationship with Jared?” He was very interested in this matter.
Violet looked at his firm and soft face, and replied, “He and I are friends.”
But Jack felt that it was not just friends. When Jared looked at her, his eyes were shining, though unlike how couples would look at each other. She said that she was in love and Jared was not jealous at all; he was rather like an elder to her.
“Hey, I’m helping you, do you understand? Don’t be kind of donkey liver and lungs, okay?” Violet took a deep breath.
“So I didn’t blame you.” Jack said, “I can still judge right from wrong.”
She really helped a lot with today’s affairs.
There was nothing else once the contract was done and dusted.
Jack raised his eyes to look at the sky, then turned his gaze back to her and asked in an unprecedented way, “How about I take you to climb the mountain?”
“Why don’t you take me to see my mother?” Violet asked back, “This is what I care about most!”
Jack frowned, looked at her, turned, and walked towards the living room, what a disappointment!
“Hey!” Violet reacted, grabbed his arm, and stopped him.
Then she came to him and looked at him cautiously. “Are you angry?”
