Chapter 486 Two-faced
Chapter 486 Two-faced
While she was amused by Jacqueline’s behavior, she couldn't help but glance at Henry sympathetically.
This was the woman he loved. When she heard that h e was drunk, not only did she not care about him, but all she cared about was his female partner.
She thought to herself, 'This man has truly failed!'
On the other end of the phone, Jacqueline was shocked when she heard Yvonne's words.
Yvonne was right. Based on her understanding of Henry's personality, had he not agreed, who would dare to pretend to be his female companion? Who would even dare to approach him?
So was that woman really Henry's female companion?
As Jacqueline thought about it, she was so furious that her face was distorted. "Who are you?"
Why would Henry agree to have this woman as his female companion?
What was so special about this woman? NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
In the past six years, even though his feelings for her returned due to his memory loss and he married her, h e never allowed her to be close to him. He even insisted on sleeping in separate bedrooms with her for the past six years. He never took her to any events, nor did he introduce her to those wealthy ladies in his
circle.
Although she was unhappy, she still held it in because she thought there was no other woman beside him.
But this was different. A woman had suddenly appeared beside him. How could she stay calm!
"Who am I?" Yvonne teased her soft wavy hair and laughed playfully, "Mrs. Lancaster, you’ll find out soon. Anyway, I have to go soon. Mr. Lancaster is safe with me so don't worry, I’ll take good care of him, goodbye!"
After she said that, she hung up the phone and burst out laughing with her hands on her stomach.
She could imagine Jacqueline's reaction on the other end of the phone. She was probably livid when she heard what Yvonne said.
But she deserved it!
When her marriage with Henry still existed, Jacqueline also provoked her like that. At the time, Jacqueline didn't care about her feelings either.
So Yvonne was just giving Jacqueline a taste of her own medicine and Jacqueline couldn't stand it. This showed that she didn't know how painful it was until i t happened to her.
Yvonne narrowed her eyes and licked the corner of her mouth as she made a decision in her heart.
Since her action had obviously affected Jacqueline, she might as well go on.
She wanted to see if Jacqueline and Henry's marriage could go on with her meddling!
Besides, Jacqueline didn't really care about being Mrs. Lancaster. She cared about money and power the most, didn't she?
She shall make Jacqueline lose all of that!
As Yvonne thought about this, she turned to look at the man on the bed and her eyes flickered brightly.
After a while, she pursed her lips before suddenly picking up her bag and slamming it on him. She then let out a long sigh of relief, "I feel better now!"
In the past few years, she had felt resentful towards this man. She thought about it many times, and she decided that she must beat him up when she saw him again.
Now that she had done that, she felt much better.
Knock knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Yvonne adjusted her mood and walked towards the door, "Who’s that?"
"Miss Smith, it's me, Joe!" Joe's voice sounded outside the door.
Yvonne thought that he was probably here for Henry, s o she turned the doorknob without hesitating.
As soon as the door opened, Joe dashed in and ran towards the bed.
When he rushed to the bed, he saw Henry lying on the bed nicely with his clothes on, and there was no weird smell in the air. He was relieved.
So far so good...
He patted his chest gratefully.
Yvonne looked at him coldly. "Joe, what were you thinking? Did you think I was going to do something t o Mr. Lancaster?"
"Uh..." Joe was taken aback for a moment, then he looked at her as he smiled to hide his guilt. "Miss Smith sure is funny..."
He felt very guilty. He received a call from Jacqueline telling him that Mr. Lancaster was with a woman and asked him to have a look.
He then heard from the waiter that a woman had indeed taken Mr. Lancaster to the lounge. His immediate assumption was that the woman probably wanted to do something with Mr. Lancaster. After all, there had been women who wanted to get in Mr. Lancaster's bed all these years, so he quickly came over.
However, after he discovered that the woman was Shannon, and everything that he imagined did not actually happen, he was embarrassed.
"Hah, Joe, you'd know if I’m being funny or not, don't you? Anyway, since you're here, take Mr. Lancaster back." Yvonne pointed to Henry as if she wanted him gone as soon as possible.
Joe touched the tip of his nose. "I'm really sorry, Miss Smith. Mr. Lancaster has caused you trouble."
"It's nothing, it's just a bit scary." Yvonne walked to the coffee table and poured herself a glass of water. She drank it slowly and said, "Mr. Lancaster suddenly blacked out and he looked uncomfortable. He’s probably sick or something. You should take him to the hospital as soon as possible."
"That's not necessary." Joe shook his head.
Yvonne was curious. "Why?"
"Mr. Lancaster has been having the same old problem, " Joe replied with a sigh as he looked at Henry.
Yvonne frowned. "Old problem?"
"Well, Mr. Lancaster had an accident that injured his head six years ago. Although it eventually healed, he still experiences side effects from it. Whenever he drinks alcohol or smokes, he'd have a headache. When it gets more serious, he’ll end up like how he is right now," Joe said.
Yvonne just came to a realization when she heard that. "I see."
She didn't know that he still had this problem.
But why would he still drink when she gave him wine when he knew he had this problem?
Didn’t he know about his own health problems?
"Miss Smith." When Joe saw Yvonne suddenly in a daze, he called out her name.
Yvonne snapped out of her daze. "What's the matter?"
"Um... You talked with our madam on the phone earlier, right?" Joe asked even though he knew the answer.
Yvonne nodded. "Yes."
"Did our madam say anything nasty to you?" Joe asked again.
Yvonne's eyes flickered. "Anything nasty?"
"Yes. Although it's a bit presumptuous to say that... she has a bad personality and a bad reputation in the circle. If she said anything that was too offensive to you, I’d like to apologize in advance. When Mr.
Lancaster wakes up tomorrow, he’ll apologize to you personally." Joe looked at her sincerely.
Yvonne avoided his gaze and pretended to a victim, but she faked a smile and said, "It's okay.
Actually, Mrs. Lancaster didn't say much. All she said was to stay away from Mr. Lancaster, and she told me not to destroy her family. But I also know that she had misunderstood, so that was why she said those things. It's okay, I won’t hold a grudge."
"She really said that?" Joe frowned.
The corner of her mouth twitched. "She probably didn't mean it." "I see. I'm really sorry, Miss Smith. I'll tell Mr. Lancaster about this truthfully, and he’ll come personally to apologize tomorrow." Joe bowed apologetically to her.
Yvonne waved her hand. "Nevermind, don't worry about it. You can take Mr. Lancaster back now."
"Okay, we’ll take our leave first." Joe nodded and turned around to lift Henry from the bed before walking towards the door.
Yvonne also followed behind them carefully and opened the door for them. After they walked away, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and her expression finally returned to her usual cold expression.
Being a two-faced person was difficult, but the results seemed to be very good.
No wonder when Jacqueline first got her bone marrow transplant, she liked to pretend like she was weak and naive, because by doing so, it made it easier to achieve her goals and others would believe her.
Look at what she had just done. Joe completely believed what she said just now, and judging from Joe’s personality, he would definitely pass the message to Henry.
She would like to see if Henry would actually blame Jacqueline or not.
