But Tina had no expression at all. She continued to look at it. She had to understand everything about Violet but this was not what she was expecting.
"She, she is the heiress of the JC Group?" Carol said it out surprised. She had never expected Violet to be the daughter of a wealthy family, and that of the JC Group, the daughter of Jackson and Cherry.
"Yeah, the JC Group," Tina said with a very calm expression. She tried to think of something in her mind,"The JC Group seems to be very famous in this city, and it seems that it had its business expanded overseas too. When I came back last time, I had seen its advertisement in the lobby of the airport."
Tina recalled everything she could remember about the JC Group. Although Violet also came from a wealthy family, she certainly didn't look like one, for which Tina despised her more.
Carol was so scared that she sat on the sofa without control and looked towards the front in a dull manner.
"I think, I finally know. I have met almost all the young ladies from wealthy families in the city. But I have never seen the daughter of the Chu family. One thing I know is that the young master of the Chu family is studying abroad. And someone had once said that earlier their daughter was also studying abroad." Carol recalled what she heard about the Chu family a few years back.
"Bah, it really sounds like a joke. Mom, do you think Violet has ever studied abroad? She has such a bad taste, and to me, she is just a stupid girl who has no temperament. She must have graduated from some average college at most." With a disdained look on her face, Tina said casually as she had never felt that Violet might have any nice qualities to boast about.
"It's just a rumor," said Carol. There were quite a lot of rumors in the aristocratic circle, and not a lot of these rumors had facts in it. Whether Violet spent her years abroad or not was not important. What was important now was the Chu family behind her. "Now think about it, in the past few years, Jackson and Cherry have been quietly developing overseas companies. It is estimated that they should still be in Hong Kong now. Yesterday, I also saw the news about the JC Group's new branch in Hong Kong. How could their daughter be still living here, in such a low profile? I can hardly believe it!"
"So what? I am not afraid of her, I am telling you very clearly. And Mom, didn't you see this? It's said that when she was ten years old, she was stabbed in many places and there are still scars left. But, the senior executives of the JC Group and the JS Group had suppressed the news, so it did not spread out. But obviously, they didn't suppress it well. And now I've known it." Tina was very concerned about this. Her eyes were full of excitement. For a girl, staying beautiful was an important thing, but Violet had a flaw in this aspect. Now she had come to know Violet's weakness and the reason why she had no taste. And this should be the reason for her staying so ordinary?
"Tina, you'd better not mess with her, let her be," Carol said suddenly. If she didn't know Violet was Jackson's daughter, she would join her daughter in removing her. But now things had changed. She couldn't take the risk to do that.
