Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 452 Jacqueline's Arrangement

Jacqueline was stunned and she couldn't maintain the expression on her face anymore. She became angry. "Henry, what are you talking about? How can I H

"That's enough. You know yourself if that's possible. You're the only one who knows if you did it. I don't want to hear anything else. I want to know this: who asked you to come up? Didn't I say that you're only allowed to stay on the first floor and you can’t come upstairs?" Henry looked at her coldly.

Jacqueline looked away. "I just came up to deliver coffee to you. I don’t mean anything else. I'll go down i f you don't want me here."

Then, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Henry stopped her. "Wait a minute."

Jacqueline stopped and turned around to look at him." Is there anything else?"

Henry didn’t respond. Instead, he walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and squeezed her chin. "How long have you been here?"

"Not... not long."

"You think I'd believe you?" Henry narrowed his eyes coldly. "Lay it. What did you hear?" "I didn't hear anything." Jacqueline looked away with a guilty conscience.

The corner of Henry's mouth twitched cruelly. "Really? Well, if you don't want to say it, then don't you..."

"I’ll say it!" Jacqueline shuddered and immediately gave in. "You need to let go of me first. It’s hard for me to say it like this."

"Don't play any tricks!” Henry released his hand after h e warned her expressionlessly.

Now that he freed her chin, Jacqueline let out a sigh of relief and looked at Henry with a complaint. She then reluctantly said, "I haven't been here long. I only heard that you mentioned Yvonne and said that she may be rescued. Was she really rescued, Henry?"

Henry's eyes were fixated on her as if he was trying to figure out something from her expression.

But she hid it so well. He stared at her for a while and calmly retracted his gaze. "This has nothing to do with you.”

"I know it doesn't matter. I'm just curious. Henry, is m y sister really alive?” Jacqueline asked and her eyes flashed slightly. Her heart was in a mess.

Yvonne was indeed alive when she was in the industrial zone. She even came back three days ago.

Lucky for her, Yvonne came back at the wrong time. She was the only one in the villa at that time, so she could burn Yvonne once again. 1

However, it didn’t seem to go well this time, because until now, she still didn't know whether Yvonne was dead or not.

She had been watching the news on the internet closely for the past three days. There were indeed news reports about the fire that destroyed the building. Strangely, there was no news that the body was found inside. This meant that Yvonne may not be dead yet.

If that was the case, God was too kind to let Yvonne escape three times. This luck of hers was enviable.

"What are you thinking?” Henry approached her and asked coldly when he saw the resentment in Jacqueline's eyes.

Jacqueline was startled and she took a step back. The coffee cup in the tray trembled and two drops splashed on the back of her hand. She screamed that i t was hot and she loosened her grip on the tray subconsciously. Then, the tray in her hand slipped and fell to the ground along with the coffee cup.

The tray was ejected far away, but the coffee cup was even worse. It broke into pieces and the coffee splashed all over the floor, even on Henry's trousers.

For a moment, the air became quiet and depressed.

Jacqueline was so scared that she didn't know what t o do.

Joe was the only one who reacted first. He squatted down quickly to check on Henry's legs. "Mr. Lancaster, are you alright? Did you get burned?"

"I’m fine!” Henry released the trousers that he lifted, and then ordered coldly, "Throw this woman down for me and let Sue come up to clean it."

Joe responded, "Yes!"

Henry fiercely closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart. He went to his room without looking at Jacqueline and was ready to change his clothes. 1

Joe felt relieved after seeing that he had left. He turned his gaze to Jacqueline. "You heard that. Mr. Lancaster asked me to throw you down, but that's quite unrealistic, so you’d better walk now."

After hearing this, Jacqueline finally returned to her senses and looked in the direction that Henry had left. She lowered her head to cover her expression and went downstairs.

When she got downstairs, she didn't say a word and went straight into her room. Then, she took out her mobile phone and went to the bathroom to make a call.

The call was soon connected and the person on the other end teased in a very harsh voice, "What a rare guest. Who knew that Miss Conrad would actually call someone like me?"

Jacqueline lowered her voice, "Okay, Simon. I need your help with something. When it's done, two million will be yours!"

The man on the other end of the phone paused for two seconds. Then, a clear voice could be heard, "Two million? For real?"

"Of course, do you think I can't withdraw that?" Jacqueline snorted coldly.

Simon smiled happily, "No, no. You're so wealthy, Miss Conrad. Two million is nothing to you, and I'm the only one who cares about it."

He managed to flatter Jacqueline. She couldn't help but show a proud expression on her face. "Alright then. Shut up and listen to me. I need a corpse. A young woman who's about twenty-five years old."

"What?" Simon was shocked. "What do you want the corpse for?"

"What can I do? To deceive the world, of course!" Jacqueline narrowed her eyes.

It didn’t matter to her if Yvonne was alive-she needed her to be dead.

Henry didn’t believe that Yvonne was dead all this while. He never gave up looking for Yvonne. If this situation went on, it would be bad for her.

Therefore, she had to do something to make Henry give up completely and totally believe that Yvonne was really dead. Her plan could only be put into place i f this worked out.

As for the abandoned building, she would take the time to drop by and head to the news media offices that reported the fire to ask if they really didn't find

Yvonne’s body or if they found something but didn't report it.

If it was the former, perhaps Yvonne wasn't dead.

Then, she must find a way to find Yvonne and kill her again so that she could feel at ease without worrying about her appearance again.

If it was the latter, she would be happy to sit back and relax to watch the news.

Simon asked curiously, "Deceive the world? Miss Conrad, what exactly do you want to do?"

Jacqueline scowled her face with dissatisfaction." This isn’t something that you should ask. Just do as I tell you. You're out on the street. I believe that with your ability, you can easily get a female corpse that meets my requirements. Once you get it, I want you to burn the face and hair of the female corpse, then use special techniques to fake the illusion that the corpse has been soaked in the lake for many days."

If she remembered correctly, there was a lake in the industrial zone. As long as the female corpse was thrown downstream of the lake, it would make sense that Yvonne's body hadn't been found all this while, because the lake washed the body downstream. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline gave a few more instructions to the man on the phone and then hung u p the call with confidence.

Afterward, she deliberately wet her hair and changed her clothes. She then wiped her hair with a towel while walking out of the room. With the way she looked, she wanted everyone to think that she took a shower instead of doing something suspicious when she stayed in the room for a long time.

At this time, footsteps could be heard on the stairs.

Jacqueline stopped wiping her hair and looked up. Her eyes flashed when she saw that Henry had changed into his suit again. "Henry, are you going out?"
