Chapter 65
The car was not speeding; a comfortable breeze flowed through the windows. Jack held the steering wheel with one hand in an
attractive manner. He could feel her eyes on him although he was not looking at her. He could even guess her current
expression and thoughts.
“Don’t you have friends?” Violet asked him softly, “Shouldn’t such enjoyment be shared with friends?”
He kept his eyes forward. “Of course I have friends, but I prefer to be alone,” he replied in a low voice. “Everyone is busy
anyway.”
“You don’t trust people.” Violet was honest with her thoughts. “You don’t feel secure.”
Jack frowned slightly. “Don’t get it wrong, you don’t know me very well.” His sensual lips moved softly.
Actually, after spending a few days together, she probably did know him quite well by now.
He had been a child of a single-parent family even since his parents’ divorce. It was rather amazing how he had achieved his
current position in spite of those circumstances.
Five minutes later, the car stopped at the mountain foothills. They unbuckled their seat belts and got out of the car. Violet brought
the bottle of water with her and followed Jack to the steps at the foot of the mountain.
Jack did not speak, nor did he look at her; he simply walked alone in front.
Violet followed him closely.
“Mostly,” she replied, “I exercise when I have time. Hiking is easy for me.”
He continued up the mountain, no longer talking.
Violet followed him. Actually, she did not really understand the situation. Why had she followed him here for a hike?
Was it appropriate for two singles to be alone together?
Still, she could judge that Jack was a man of good character.
She wanted to get a breath of fresh air, a respite from all the things that had been happening recently.
Not long after they left the office, Armand made a phone call to Samantha.
In his office, he told his sister the news in a low voice.
“What?” Samantha felt her chest constricting. She was mystified. “Jack brought Violet to the company?”
“Yes, but she didn’t get out of the car,” Armand said, “She stayed in the front passenger seat. Jack was just dropping by the
office for a while. He left with her after that.”
“Are you sure it’s Violet?” How Samantha hoped that it was not true.
“It’s Violet. I knocked on the car window to talk with her. She’s the bride at the wedding.”
“Didn’t you send someone to follow where they are going?” Samantha suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. “What’s Dawn for if
they’re really together ”
Armand was worried as well. “I’ll get Dawn to come back right away!”
“Okay!” Samantha tried to calm down. “As long as they aren’t married, we can still look for opportunities to get Dawn into Jack’s
no to marrying Dawn by then. His grandfather is a man who cares about having a good reputation.”
Armand confirmed his approval of the idea. He did not feel like he was sacrificing his daughter at all.
“We can’t count on Liam for the time being. Dawn is our only hope,” Samantha said, “Believe me, once Dawn marries Jack, they
can still fall in love and bond with each other after that. Dawn is an outstanding girl. Also, it’ll be impossible for Jack to mistreat
her when I’m around. It won’t look good on him anyway if it gets out. All he can do by then is pamper her,”
“I know. I’ll contact Dawn immediately” Armand hung up the phone.
He was in a particularly foul mood. He had been working very hard in the Yancey Group but had never been taken seriously.
Jack would be forced to pay attention to Armand if he became his father-in-law. He would not still be so dismissive of him.
Furthermore, if Dawn bore a son for the Yanceys, Jack would surely show them even more love and affection as a father. The
future of the Zieglers looked bright.

Chapter 65
Thus, he picked up his cell phone and dialed his daughter’s number...
At that moment, Jack and Violet had reached the halfway point of the mountain. The mountain breeze was pleasant; the troubles
of their hearts had vanished with the wind as well.
Turning his eyes to look down the mountain, the field of vision is the wide panoramic view of the prosperous city.
The path on the mountain was made of single-step stones and was easy to hike on. There were also pavilions at certain intervals
of distances. They estimated that it would take them another 20 minutes to reach the top.
Except for the sound of the mountain breeze blowing through the leaves on the tree, their surroundings were relatively quiet.
Suddenly, Violet’s ears caught an odd sound. She stopped, frowning slightly, and looked behind her...
