Chapter 516 It Was Them
Chapter 516 It Was Them
Yvonne thought for a moment. "Go back to the hotel to move things."
"Okay.” Lisa started the car.
It was already evening after they moved.
Yvonne put Theo to sleep before returning to her room to rest.
Maybe she was too tired after moving or she was too happy with Jacqueline's embarrassing appearance during the day. She slept very well that night with the corners of her mouth curved.
She was in a good mood for the next two days.
Because she could see the news about Jacqueline and Henry on the internet every day for the past two days.
Jacqueline was not the target of everyone’s conversation, including Henry who had also been infamous because of his bail for Jacqueline.
There had never been a shortage of people who were jealous of the evil and rich in the world. Jacqueline broke the law and had to go to jail, but Henry released her on bail, which angered those who hated the evil and rich.
Therefore, Henry had also become the target of the attack, along with the Lancaster Group. The stock market dropped by several points. Some shareholders expressed opinions on him, thinking that he shouldn’t do this and bail Jacqueline out.
Even if he had to do it, he should keep a low profile without letting the media know about it. However, he did well. He bailed her out and couldn't suppress the media, which had seriously affected the Lancaster Group's reputation.
These shareholders kept blaming Henry, but little did they know that Henry didn't expect the news to blow u p too when he bailed Jacqueline out.
He didn’t know how the media came to know that he went to the police station to bail Jacqueline out. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
All he knew was that he fell into a pit.
There must be someone who broke the news to the media.
Joe walked into Henry’s office with a tired look, holding a letter in his hand. "Mr. Lancaster.”
Henry opened his eyes, showing that he was very tired. "What’s the matter?"
"The security guard gave it to me and said it was from a child." Joe handed over the envelope.
Henry took it suspiciously. Did people still write letters these days?
Thinking about it, Henry looked at the envelope. There was no sender information on it and the recipient didn't have an address either. There was only one sentence: To Henry!
By the looks of it, this letter wasn’t sent by mail, but directly by someone.
"Who's that kid?" Henry asked in a deep voice.
Joe replied, "The security has checked and it’s a child that lives nearby. The child was playing football outside. He said that a woman wearing a mask gave him this letter and asked him to send it over with ice cream as a reward."
"A woman with a mask..." Henry furrowed his eyebrows.
Who would it be?
After thinking for a moment, Henry couldn't figure it out. He had to suppress his doubt temporarily and opened the letter.
A piece of note fell out of the envelope and landed on the desk.
Henry lowered his head slightly and saw the content o n the note with a printed sentence: This is the price you have to pay for bullying my child!
"This... is this from Theo's parents?" Joe saw the note too. His eyes widened immediately.
The only child who was bullied was Theo.
So it was obvious who sent this note.
Henry looked at the note deeply and pressed his thin lips tightly, "This is revenge from them."
"Mr. Lancaster, you mean that Theo’s parents were the ones that caused Jacqueline's current situation including what happened to you and the Lancaster Group?” Joe was speechless.
Henry squeezed his eyebrows. "I should have thought o f this. The child was bullied, and the day after he told his parents, Jacqueline was arrested for tax evasion. Then, the media appeared in time to report the breaking news. There was no one else except for Theo's parents.”
Joe said, "Hmph... They're really ruthless. Anna just took the lead to outcast Theo and gave him two names for fun. Now they made Jacquline so miserable and even affected you, Mr. Lancaster. This is too much."
Henry didn't answer.
Was it over?
He didn't think so.
He thought that if it was him, if his child was autistic and he was bullied this way, he would get revenge and it would definitely not be lighter than this.
He crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can. Henry asked, "How’s Jacqueline now?"
He had stayed in the group in the past two days and never returned.
Joe went over twice to get his clothes.
Joe recalled Jacqueline's current situation and truthfully said, "I heard from Sue that she’s been furious for the past two days. After the whole country found out about her tax evasion, her ballet school could no longer stay open. Those parents wanted their children to drop out of school one after another. They’re asking her to refund the tuition fees now."
Henry circled his arms and tapped his fingers lightly." She has no money."
Although he bailed Jacqueline out, Jacqueline paid the taxes and fines herself. He didn't pay a single cent.
In the past six years, Jacqueline had spent a lot of money, transferring the money to a foreign account every month.
As for whom she was transferring the money to, he wasn't interested in knowing.
He only knew that Jacqueline didn't have much money with her. The ballet school she started that year used up most of her net worth. In addition to her monthly expenses, and now that she had paid the taxes and fines, she almost had nothing, leaving only the empty school.
Therefore, Jacqueline had no money to refund the tuition fees, but if she sold the school, she should be able to get some money. If she did this, she would be left with nothing.
Joe scratched his hair and said, "Yes, she couldn't get the money, so she begged me."
Henry stared at him. "Begged you?"
Joe nodded. "When I went to the villa to get the documents for you, she stopped me and begged me to help her pass a message to you, hoping you could help her."
So she wanted him to pay for her.
Henry's heart turned icy. "Tell her that I bailed her out. I've done my best and I won't help her anymore."
"She knew you'd say such things, so she asked me to tell you that she's your wife and you have an obligation to help her." Joe looked at Henry.
Henry’s expression grew colder and colder. "Tell her then. Does she remember all the contracts signed before the marriage?”
"Alright, I'll tell her in a while." Joe began to sympathize with Jacqueline in his heart. 2
Six years ago when Mr. Lancaster married Jacqueline, Frederick was against it.
Although his objection was invalid, Frederick wasn’t someone that was easily taken advantage of. He secretly made a lot of contracts that were bound to Jacqueline. Generally speaking, after Jacqueline married Mr. Lancaster, everything in the Lancaster family and Mr. Lancaster’s personal property belonged to him and had nothing to do with Jacqueline. 1
So when Jacqueline was in trouble, the Lancaster family had the choice to not help.
Even after their marriage, Jacqueline wasn't allowed t o enter the old house, nor could she participate in various sacrificial activities of the Lancaster family, let alone join the Lancaster family’s
genealogy.
These contracts didn't benefit Jacqueline at all, but at that time, Jacqueline was anxious to marry Mr.
Lancaster and wanted to be Mrs. Lancaster, so she didn't look at the contracts carefully, hastily signing them. Joe noticed these things, and so did Mr.
Lancaster.
He wondered why Mr. Lancaster didn't stop her at that time. After all, Mr. Lancaster had forgotten about Yvonne back then. It was time to restore his feelings for Jacqueline, so he should have stopped Jacqueline from signing those unfair contracts. But Mr. Lancaster didn't. He and Jacqueline even slept in separate rooms after the marriage.
These doubts had been going on for six years, and now he couldn't help it. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Mr. Lancaster, do you really love Jacqueline?”
