"Because your appearance is too strange." Violet wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at him, "You said you like Jessie, why didn't you come to Jessie before, but only after twenty years? I feel suspicious, and you've been separated for twenty years, do you really like Jessie?"
It was strange that Lorenzo still remembered Jessie since Jessie had forgotten about this Lorenzo.
After twenty years, they should have forgotten about each other a long time ago.
"So that's how it is." Lorenzo nodded with a smile, "Mrs. Murphy, you are overly concerned, I do like Jessie, I came here for no other purpose, I really only came for Jessie, as for why I came after twenty years, it's because I also only found out where Jessie is this year."
"Is that so?" Violet narrowed her eyes, clearly still somewhat unconvinced.
Lorenzo nodded, "Of course, I know you are thinking that I might have ulterior motives towards Jessie, but please rest assured, Mrs. Murphy, I really don't have an agenda. Although my family is not as good as the Murphy family, it's not bad either, so I don't think there's anything on Jessie that I should target, do I?"
With that, he handed her a business card.
Violet took it suspiciously and looked at it, it said President of the Hayes Group, Lorenzo Hayes, and a phone number below.
"Hayes Group?" Violet pursed her red lips, "I haven't heard of it."
"It's just a small company that just went public and is currently headquartered over in A City, so it's normal for you not to have heard of it." Lorenzo smiled, then added, "If you are unsure, she can call and ask Mr. Murphy, who should be able to prove that I'm lying or not."
Violet stood up, "Since you have said so, then I will call and ask, of course, I hope you don't mind, after all, for the sake of Jessie, I had to check on you clearly."
"I won’t." Lorenzo made a gesture of invitation.
Violet really took out her phone and dialed Stanley's number.
Stanley was working on documents in his office at this time, when he heard the phone ring, he put down his pen and picked up his phone and glanced at it, seeing that it was Violet calling, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes, then he answered her call, "Hello."
"Honey, I have a question for you." Violet opened her mouth.
Stanley raised her eyebrows, "Yes?"
"Do you know Lorenzo Hayes?" Violet asked, looking at the man across her.
Stanley's brow furrowed when he heard this question, "Lorenzo Hayes? "
"Yes." Violet nodded her head.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, his face unhappy and his tone sour, "What are you asking him for? You shouldn't know him, right?"
Although knowing that Violet couldn't have anything with another man, hearing another man's name from her made him uncomfortable inside.
Violet naturally heard the man's jealousy, couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Okay, don't be jealous, I indeed don't know him, but he is now at Jessie's home, saying he was Jessie's friend and likes Jessie, so he came to Sea City to look for Jessie. I am worried that he is a bad person with ulterior motives, that's why I called you to confirm his identity, to see if he is president of Hayes Group in A City."
