Chapter 19 Same Name
He couldn't help but swallow.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Give me your hand first, and I'll check your pulse!"
Violet giggled, sat up, and said, "What's going on? I suddenly feel better. I want to take a bath. How about we do it together? Treat me while bathing?"
Fergus felt his blood rush and almost lost control.
Before he could respond, Violet stood up. "If you don't answer, that means you refuse. I'll just bathe by myself then, and you better not peek."
With that, she quickly went upstairs in her evening dress.
Fergus was silent.
It wasn't until she was gone that he remembered he had forgotten to break off the engagement!
Meanwhile, news about Violet choosing Fergus as her partner spread like wildfire in Tarynville. Everyone was trying to find out who Fergus was.
They discovered Fergus had just been released from prison!
This left everyone disappointed, with some even cursing Violet for being stupid!
But no one could change this outcome.
Hayden and Logan held an urgent board meeting overnight to discuss how to handle it.
Other companies also met overnight to figure out how to curry favor with Fergus.
At the Henderson family home, Jessica sat dumbfounded on the sofa, pale, repeatedly muttering Fergus's name, saying "impossible!"
She thought, 'He is Sophia's boyfriend; how could he be connected to the noble Ms. Gray? It must be a coincidence!'
"Why does this name sound so familiar?" Jessica's father, Derek Henderson, walked over, frowning. When he reached Jessica, it suddenly dawned on him.
"Jessica, isn't your fiancé named Fergus?"
Jessica shuddered and quickly composed herself. "Yes, the name on the prenuptial agreement is Fergus, but... it's not this Fergus. It's just a coincidence."
Derek didn't think much of it. After all, if his future son-in-law came to Tarynville, he should visit the Henderson family first.
He laughed, "But this does prove that anyone named Fergus is exceptional. I'm really looking forward to meeting my future son-in-law. According to your grandfather's will, Fergus will bring hundreds of prosperity to the Henderson family."
"I'm really looking forward to that day!"
Jessica forced a laugh. "Dad, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It's possible that Fergus is nothing special. Keep a level head and face it rationally!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Derek muttered about who would come at this hour, but he still went to open the door. As the door opened.
Bang!
A figure knelt at the door; it was Mr. White!
Mr. White pleaded, "Ms. Henderson, please. I beg you to plead for me in front of Fergus. Tell him I was wrong and that I won't dare to do it again. Ask him not to target me, please."
Hayden and Logan might be able to struggle a bit, but he could wait for death. After thinking it over, he could only turn to Jessica.
Jessica was astonished, suddenly standing up with a bad premonition, nervously asking, "What... what do you mean?"
Mr. White immediately said, "Don't you know? The Fergus who was pursuing you has become Ms. Gray's partner, fully in charge of her investments in Tarynville!"
'It really is him!' Jessica mused.
Jessica's mind buzzed and wondered, 'What on earth is going on?'
"Wait!" Derek suddenly thought of something and turned to his daughter. "The Fergus who was pursuing you? Could it be your fiancé?"
Jessica felt guilty under Derek's gaze, sweating profusely. She couldn't understand how a guy who had just come out of prison could become Violet's partner. It didn't make sense!
Gritting her teeth, Jessica said, "It must be a coincidence!"
