Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 451 Henry Lancaster's Suspicion

Yvonne took a breath and continued to speak, "What's more, I haven't figured out what their relationship is now and whether they're really getting back together."

"About this..." Sam touched his chin. "In fact, I've been secretly investigating it these days and I found that their relationship is very strange. Instead of saying that they're reunited, I'd say the two of them are doing a trade."

"A trade?" Yvonne didn't quite understand.

Sam nodded. "Yes, a trade, but I haven't found out what they're trading. If you want to know, I can investigate further by starting from Jacqueline, and then I can find out about it as soon as possible."

"Better not." Yvonne pursed her lower lip and said, "it’s better to leave it this way. If we investigate further, Henry will discover us."

Sam chuckled, "Don't worry, it’s okay. It's fine even if h e finds out. If he can't find me, then he won't know your whereabouts." 1

After that, he took out his mobile phone and placed a call to his assistant. He asked his assistant to send more people to investigate the trading relationship between Henry and Jacqueline in a short amount of time.

Yvonne was touched that he was so resolute. She silently thanked him.

Perhaps she knew Henry too well. In the end, Henry found the people that Sam's assistant sent over and h e caught one on the spot.

Looking at the man in a black suit in front of him, Henry's expression was so cold that he made people shiver. "Who sent you here?"

The suited man lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Mr.

Lancaster. We're from a detective firm and we have professional ethics. We can’t reveal the employer’s information."

"Huh!" Henry sneered. "Then I'll give double the commission to buy his information. Can you spill the information now?"

"This..." The eyes of the suited man brightened for a moment and he was intrigued.

Upon seeing this, Henry smacked his desk. "Are you still not telling me?"

"I’ll say it!" The man in the suit no longer hesitated and quickly nodded his head. "A gentleman named M r. Marc came to us. Marc with a C. He specifically asked us to investigate the relationship between you and Jacqueline.”

"Marc?" Henry frowned. "What's his full name?”

The man replied with a smile, "I'm not sure. He didn't say and he didn't even come to our office in person. H e contacted us by phone. He even did a bank transfer t o us for the commission. We can't investigate our employer, so we really don't know the employer's true identity."

Henry narrowed his eyes. "Do you know any Marc in the circle?"

He glanced at Joe who was beside him.

Obviously, this person wasn’t afraid to offend him since he had the ability to hire more than one detective.

The status of such a person may be high-perhaps they were in the same circle.

"Marc..." Joe thoughtfully stroked his chin and said uncertainly, "Mr. Lancaster, if I guess it right, it should be Mr. Smith. I remember the name of his assistant, M r. Marc. Didn't Mr. Smith call me a few days ago to ask about Miss Conrad's whereabouts? I think this time, it's Mr. Smith too."

"Sam!" Henry gritted his teeth and spat out that name.

The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva. "That... since you guessed it, can I go now, Mr. Lancaster?"

Henry waved his hand impatiently.

Joe immediately took the order and sent the middle-aged man out.

After a while, Joe returned to the study room. "Mr.

Lancaster, what do you think Mr. Smith would do? He was supposed to return to his country three days ago, but he canceled it out of the blue. Then he sent

someone to investigate you. Is there any conspiracy?"

Mr. Lancaster rubbed his swollen eyebrows and said, "I f there’s a conspiracy, he should just investigate me alone and not Jacqueline. Didn’t you hear what the man just said? He was investigating my relationship with Jacqueline!"

"That's right, and he wants to know your relationship with Jacqueline. What does it have to do with him though?" Joe was puzzled.

Henry rolled his eyes and his expression tensed when he thought of something. "Joe, did Sam go to the scene of the accident?”

"The scene of the accident?" Joe was taken aback, but he managed to react and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, he said he wanted to say goodbye to madam personally, but when he arrived at the hospital, he found out that madam was kidnapped. In order to look for madam, h e then asked his men to find out who kidnapped madam. When he arrived at the place where madam was kidnapped, the place was already burnt down."

"That's right." Henry raised his chin and his eyes were full of excitement. "Have you ever thought if Mr.

Smith’s really the one who cares about my relationship with Jacqueline? He's a man and he has never met Jacqueline. I don't believe that he has feelings for her and that he pays attention to both of u s because he's jealous. What if there's someone around him that cares about our relationship and asked him to investigate?"

"Someone around him? Who is it?" Joe couldn't react for a while.

Henry gave him a cold look and Joe suddenly realized it too. "Mr. Lancaster, you mean madam’s the one?"

Henry was noncommittal. "Who cares about my relationship with Jacqueline other than Yvonne? And Yvonne's body wasn't found at the scene, right? Even the other search and rescue team didn't find Yvonne near the industrial area. Do you think Sam could've rescued Yvonne?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's possible too!" The more Joe thought about it, the more he felt like it. He got goosebumps all over his body. "No wonder Mr. Smith kept sending people to hang around here the day after the accident. We didn't pay attention to these details before. Now that we think about it, Mr. Smith could be the one who sent these people to inquire about madam, but..."

Henry looked at him. "But what?"

Joe expressed his doubts, "Well, what I want to say is that, if madam is really there, why doesn't she come back?"

Henry pursed his thin lips without answering, but deep down in his heart, he agreed with Joe's question.

If Yvonne was really alive and with Sam, why didn't she come back and tell him that she was still alive? 1

Was it because of Jacqueline?

If it was really because of Jacqueline, she could come back and ask him why he brought Jacqueline to the villa and he would tell her.

Henry whispered, "What on earth is she thinking?"

Joe wasn’t far from him, so he heard it naturally. After hesitating for two seconds, he finally asked, "Mr.

Lancaster, should we look for Mr. Smith to confirm whether madam is with him? If she’s there, how about we pick madam up?"

Henry answered faintly, "Do you know where Sam is?"

Joe choked, "I don't know, but we can investigate. We can also ask someone from the detective office to search for it."

Henry nodded. “Go ahead then."

"Yes, I’ll do it now," Joe responded and turned around t o walk towards the door.

He was taken aback as soon as he opened the door." Why are you here?"

He looked at the person outside the door with dissatisfaction.

Henry knew that it couldn't be Sue when he heard Joe’s tone of voice. Since it wasn't Sue, it should be Jacqueline.

Henry's face sank with the thought. He got up and walked to the door. When he saw Jacqueline outside the door, his deep eyes were filled with coldness." What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to come up?"

Jacqueline was angry that Joe dared to give her such a n attitude. She was even more annoyed now that she heard Henry's disgusted tone.

But she could endure it, so she forced a smile in reply," I see that you’ve been talking for so long and I thought that you might be thirsty, so I made you coffee.”

With that, she raised the tray in her hand.

Henry took a glance and gave a cold expression. "Is it drugged?"
