Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 485 Compensation

Henry squinted his eyes. "No way. Even if it does happen, I won't mistreat you."

"Really..." Yvonne lowered her eyelids as she tried to conceal the mockery in her eyes.

He would not mistreat her?

Six years ago, had she not suffered enough because of him?

Why was he so sure that she would not be mistreated? He couldn't do it six years ago. Now she was nothing more than a stranger who looked like his ex-wife.

What made him so certain that she would never be mistreated and wronged?

As Yvonne thought about this, she sneered in her heart but she didn’t show it on her face at all. Instead, she pretended to be relieved. "Since Mr. Lancaster said so, then you must keep your promise, or else I won't do it!"

Henry agreed. 1

Yvonne stopped talking and took his arm as they walked towards the auction hall.

The auction was really lively, and various cultural relics were auctioned off one after another.

Yvonne was not interested in those cultural relics and had never raised her card once.

Henry was the same. He didn't intend to bid for anything.

Yvonne didn't ask him why he did not bid either. She waited quietly for the auction to end.

After the auction was over, it was time for a special banquet prepared by the organizers of the auction to entertain their guests.

Yvonne got two glasses of red wine from the waiter and walked towards the balcony. As she got closer to Henry, she saw him putting away his mobile phone from behind him.

"The girl in the photo is very cute. Is she your daughter?" Yvonne handed over one of the glasses of red wine.

Henry thanked her and accepted it before replying softly, "I guess she is."

"Really?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She always knew that Henry was very kind to Jacqueline's daughter. So she thought he would graciously accept that and tell her that she was his daughter indeed. 1

However, he said 'I guess she is,’ which was a vague and uncertain answer. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Why was that?

Not only Yvonne couldn't figure it out, but even Henry couldn't figure it out himself.

He didn’t know why he said "I guess," but the first reaction in his heart earlier was to prevent her from thinking that the little girl in the photo was his daughter.

On the other hand, he didn't know why he didn't want her to misunderstand either.

"Well, she’s considered my daughter, because she's not my biological daughter." Henry took a sip of the red wine and looked at Yvonne as he replied back.

Yvonne's eyes flashed as she pretended to be surprised. "Not your biological daughter?"

Henry nodded again.

Yvonne pretended to be very intrigued and she asked again, "Did you adopt her?"

Henry didn’t answer-he just kept on drinking.

"You really did adopt her. You and your wife are really kind, huh? especially you. You're so kind to your adopted child as if she is your own. I heard you purchased a children's theme park especially for your daughter’s birthday, is that right?" When Yvonne said this, she slowly put a hand behind her back and clenched it tightly, which showed her anger at the moment.

He was so kind to Jacqueline's daughter to that point that he would just purchase a children's theme park.

Meanwhile, he didn't even know the existence of his biological son. 1

It was extremely ironic!

"Children's theme park?" When Henry heard Yvonne's words, there was confusion in his deep eyes. "You mean the one in the north part of the city?"

"Right." Yvonne sipped her wine.

Henry chuckled, "I didn't purchase it for Anna."

"Eh?" Yvonne was stunned. "No?"

Did she get the wrong information?

From what she heard, he obviously bought it for Jacqueline's daughter!

"Well, I just thought that the children's theme park could be a valuable acquisition, so I purchased it. But i t happened to be Anna's birthday, so the public simply speculated that I purchased it for Anna," Henry explained lightly.

Yvonne opened her lips, and it took her a long time to make any sound. "I see. I misunderstood."

So he didn't purchase it for Jacqueline's daughter.

But even so, she was still furious.

Because the kindness he showed Jacqueline's daughter was obvious. His kindness was supposed to b e directed towards Theo, but Jacqueline's daughter was the one enjoying it instead. Because of that, she couldn't forgive him! 1

Crash!

As Yvonne was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking.

She was taken aback, and she quickly turned to look a t the source of the sound. She saw Henry holding onto the railing with an uncomfortable expression, with his eyes closed and his face was pale.

Right beside his feet was the wine glass he had just broken. The red wine that was in the glass splashed all over the floor and stained his trousers.

"Hey, are you okay?" Yvonne put down the red wine in her hand and gently pushed the man.

She looked worried and nervous on the outside, but deep down, it was nothing but coldness.

She was just a little surprised by his current condition. She didn't know why he was fine earlier but was sick all of a sudden.

"I'm fine..." Henry answered uncomfortably.

Yvonne's lips twitched lightly. "Are you really okay? But you seem to be in pain."

"..." Henry didn't answer her, but his breathing got heavier.

After a while, he seemed to be struggling to hold up, and his body fell back weakly.

When Yvonne saw it, she had no intention to help either. She just let him fall to the ground.

Thud!

After a muffled sound, Henry fell to the ground and he looked like he had fainted. 1

Yvonne just watched on and slowly picked up the wine glass she had just put down. After drinking leisurely, she stepped forward to carry him and walked towards the lounge.

When she arrived at the lounge, she threw him on the bed and touched his pocket to get his mobile phone as she planned to contact Joe to pick him up.

However, just after she unlocked his mobile phone with his fingerprint, a call suddenly popped out, and the caller ID was Jacqueline.

As Yvonne looked at the name that she hated to the core, her eyes instantly narrowed. The icy aura she radiated all over her body was even more terrifying now.

She had not even gone to see her yet, so she did not expect Jacqueline to come to her on her own.

Since she had already called, she might as well take advantage of it.

She had to find a way to get some compensation back from this woman!

But how?

Yvonne started looking around and she finally fixed her gaze on Henry. She immediately had an idea in her mind, but the idea was shameless and it made her hesitate whether she should do it or not.

After thinking for a few seconds, Yvonne finally compromised and decided to use this method to get some compensation back from Jacqueline.

When Yvonne thought about this, she stopped hesitating and answered the phone.

"Henry, are you still at the auction? When are you coming back? Anna misses you!" Jacqueline's pretentious voice came from the other end of the call.

Yvonne rolled her eyes.

What did she mean by "Anna misses you?” This woman was obviously just using the child as an excuse.

"Hello, is this Mrs. Lancaster?" Yvonne asked in a soft voice calmly.

On the other end of the phone, Jacqueline was stunned for a while as she thought that she had called the wrong number. She quickly took her phone in front of her to check and she realized that it was indeed Henry's number. She immediately felt suspicious and she asked sternly, "Who are you? How did you get my husband's phone?"

Husband?

Yvonne’s eyes darkened.

She used to call Henry that way before.

But now, the title did not belong to her anymore!

"Sorry, Mrs. Lancaster. I'm Mr. Lancaster's female companion tonight. I didn't mean to take his cell phone, but he's too drunk, so I had to answer the phone for him." Yvonne replied with a soft voice, but there was no expression on her face.

Jacqueline blew up in anger. "Female partner? Who made you his female partner?"

"Of course it was Mr. Lancaster!" Yvonne blinked innocently. "If it wasn't for Mr. Lancaster's invitation, how would I dare be his female companion. Don’t you think so, Mrs. Lancaster?"
