Ice and Fire novel Chapter 770

"Why do you want to help Roger Gu?" Francis asked.

"He helped me before," Violet answered." And I want to return the favor."

"What did he do to help you?" Francis kept asking, because he wanted to know everything about her, her life, her heart, and so on.

"He was once hit by a car to save me. Besides, he, as my boss, also helped me a lot when I worked for him, so I want to help him in return." Violet unveiled everything in her heart to Francis. Although it could be risky, she wanted to remain honest before him.

"It seems that he's special to you," Francis said, with a smile on his face. He had already done his research on the GR Group on Carol and on Roger. The GR Group remained as a medium-sized company, with the biggest deal of the year merely a small part of the JS Group, one of four biggest corporations in the city. Carol's firm and frank manner of doing business in addition to her admirable business ingenuity made her one of the top female business leaders. If not for Selina, she could have been the queen of the city. As for Roger, he was popular. Everyone, including his peers, his elders as well as other business people, thought highly of him. This was mainly owing to his being well-educated and his being earnest and responsible. Besides, being raised under the care of Carol, he didn't grow up to be a playboy. Instead, he was serious in his relationships, neither closely relating with popular stars, nor hanging around red light districts. Therefore, Roger was a good candidate to be a reliable friend. However, Francis didn't regard him as possible business partner. Roger might be too nice to be successful. He wasn't cruel and ambitious enough. These were traits that contribute to achievements in business.

Violet didn't know how to respond to Francis, so she just changed the topic back to what she originally intended. "Mr. An, will you help the GR Group?"

Gazing at Violet, Francis didn't answer her question, although he was thinking of the possibility.

"Today's news wasn't all true. Tina is not that kind of woman as the news portrayed. She's a good girl, better than what the news reported. What's more, shopping malls of the GR Group run well. People like the GR Group and are loyal to it." Violet put in a good word for the company in spite of conflicts between her and Tina. Violet would still risk everything to help Roger and the GR Group. When Violet recalled that moment when Roger got injured in order to save her, she decided that she would take any humiliation if that meant helping him.

"Violet, I heard of your husband's family background. Although his family is more renowned in the medical community, their influence is beyond that, isn't it? He might also be of help to Roger Gu. By the way," Francis paused then continued. "Your family is also powerful. Isn't Selina Lu one of your relatives? Do you know that she and Carol are in bad terms? What will she do? How will she react if she found out that you are helping Carol's family?"

"My aunt Selina deserves better than your words! Please don't speak of my family like that." Irritated by what Francis said, Violet raised her voice at him.

Astounded by her sudden change of behavior, Francis had no idea what to do next. He just stood there, in front of Violet, without a word.

There was nothing but silence in the office for a while as Violet calmed herself down.

"I'm sorry." Violet finally said.

Francis remained silent. He already knew about Violet for he had looked her up and conducted some investigations. He was still shocked by how protective she was when it came to family. What he had learned, was that Violet was affectionate like Cinderella among the rich. That proved true today. She was indeed less indifferent, unlike other girls from upper-class families.
