Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 517 Not Loving Jacqueline

Henry didn’t expect Joe to ask him such questions. He frowned and was a little displeased. "Why do you ask this?"

Joe scratched his head. "Just somewhat curious. You married Jacqueline six years ago, but after the marriage, your attitude towards Jacqueline was dull. It's unlike how a wife should be treated, so I’m a little confused."

Henry looked down. "I don't love her."

Joe opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised at this answer, but he believed it without a doubt.

So Mr. Lancaster didn't love Jacqueline!

Joe asked again, "Why did you marry her if you didn't love her?"

Henry rubbed his fingers. "A promise."

"Huh?" Joe was stunned. “A promise?"

Henry gave a hum, but a trace of regret flashed across his eyes. "Six years ago when I lost my memory of three years, the only memory I had was the moment I first married Yvonne. I didn't forget Jacqueline at that time, so I recognized her immediately after I woke up. She learned that I had lost some memories of Yvonne, so she took the initiative to make a promise to me."

"What’s the promise?" Joe became more and more

curious.

Henry held his forehead slightly. "When my mother was still alive, Jacqueline indirectly saved my mother's life. To thank her, I asked her what kind of remuneration she needed. She said that she

wanted to marry me when she grew up and I agreed.” 1

Joe's mouth twitched. "So when Jacqueline brought it up again, you really married her, Mr. Lancaster."

"Yeah." Henry nodded.

That was indeed the case.

Yvonne had just died at that time. He forgot the memory of those three years with Yvonne, so it didn't matter who he married.

But after he got married, he didn't want to share the same room with Jacqueline or become a real husband and wife. Jacqueline happened to have a child in her stomach, so he took the opportunity to find an excuse t o let Jacqueline live in a room by herself for six years.

In the past six years, he saw a Jacqueline who was completely different from the one he used to know.

In his impression, Jacqueline was a gentle and euphemistic woman, not a narrow-minded and selfish woman who was eager for quick success and instant benefits after marriage.

But with the passage of time and a better understanding of Jacqueline, he realized that the gentle and euphemistic Jacqueline who had been with him was an illusion and that selfishness and narrow-mindedness were her true colors.

After recognizing what kind of person Jacqueline was, his indifferent feelings for her became weaker and they had long disappeared.

Therefore, he didn't love Jacqueline!

And he always had a voice in his heart telling him that he didn't love Jacqueline a long time ago. He loved another woman, which was Yvonne, his wife at that time.

It was just that he had no memory of it and he couldn't prove whether it was true or not.

But now it seemed that it may be true. Otherwise, it couldn't be explained that he was so interested in Shannon, who looked like Yvonne.

Not knowing what Henry was thinking, Joe asked puzzledly, "Since Mr. Lancaster doesn’t love Jacqueline, why don't you divorce her?”

Henry looked at him. “There’s no such thing as divorce in the Lancaster family.” 1

He was a responsible person. Since he married Jacqueline, he never thought about divorce as long as Jacqueline didn't do anything that was intolerable.

Joe sighed, "I know that divorce is unacceptable in the Lancaster family, but Mr. Lancaster, you don't love her anymore. It's unfair to you."

Henry's eyes flashed. Instead of answering him, he changed the topic. "Alright. You better tell her what I said. Let her find a way to refund the tuition fees. She should sell the school if she doesn’t have any money. I won't help her. It's something she did herself. She has to bear the corresponding consequences.”

To be honest, he was shocked to learn that the police arrested Jacqueline because of tax evasion.

He was also shocked that she had the courage to do such a thing.

But what was even more shocking was that Theo's parents found the evidence of Jacqueline’s tax evasion so quickly, and the evidence was complete.

This made him think deeply about whether Theo’s parents had been eyeing Jacqueline for a long time. Otherwise, how could they know that Jacqueline had done such a thing when he didn't even know about it? They knew about it and managed to gather the evidence in such a short period of time. Obviously, there was more to this.

But whether it was what he thought, he had to first figure out who Theo's parents were and then ask them in person.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Joe nodded, turned around, and went out.

Henry closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair for a while when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Henry spat out the two words without opening his eyes.

The person outside pushed the door in. It was the secretary of the group.

"Mr. Lancaster, Miss Smith is here."

Miss Smith?

Shannon?

Henry opened his eyes abruptly and then saw a smiling face sticking out from behind the secretary." Mr. Lancaster."

Henry felt a little depressed when he heard her calling him Mr. Lancaster, but he didn't show it on his face. H e nodded slightly. "Why are you here?"

Yvonne walked out from behind the secretary and walked towards Henry with a smile.

The secretary stepped back wisely and helped them close the door.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvonne walked to Henry’s desk and said, "I came to see the car modeling. I didn’t see it last time, so I should see it this time. The car production date will be delayed if this drags any longer."

Henry raised his chin slightly. "I'll take you over there i n a while, but are your feet alright?"

It seemed that she was wearing high heels when he saw her coming in.

"It's fine." Yvonne twisted her ankle. "It's almost recovered. As long as I don't run, I won’t have a problem with walking."

"That's good." Henry nodded, and then said with a trace of apology, "Something happened these two days, so I didn’t have a chance to visit you. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not." Yvonne waved her hand. "I heard about it, and that's why I'm here today. Other than seeing the car modeling, I came to see you too. Are you okay?"

Henry raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with surprise. "Came to see me?"

"Yes!" Yvonne winked at him, but she sneered in her heart.

She especially came to have a good laugh at him.

If she hadn't been able to walk, she would have come two days ago.

Henry felt warm. "Thank you, I'm fine."

"How are you fine? You look tired. You must have been cleaning up the mess for Miss Conrad. Miss Conrad... Hey, how could she do such a thing? It's against the law and it also affects you and the Lancaster Group..." Yvonne felt worthless for him.

Henry didn’t realize that she was pretending. He thought she was sincere, so his eyebrows softened a lot unconsciously.

Henry said lightly, "The Lancaster Group's status can only reach here. The stock market will naturally recover after this period of time. As for me, many people have disliked me in the past. I don't care what those people said on the internet."

Yvonne curled her lips. "You're really optimistic. What about Miss Conrad? She has done such a terrible thing. Her crisis will definitely not pass easily, right? How are you going to help her?"

"I won’t help her.” Henry crossed his fingers.

Yvonne was stunned. "Won't help?"

"Yeah."

"But, isn’t she your wife?"

Henry said, "She has done something wrong, so she naturally has to pay the price. This is what she deserves and what she should bear."

Yvonne shot a serious look at him and said, "You're really amazing. If it were someone else's husband, he would definitely help his wife to prove that she's innocent, but you didn't. It's really impressive, but..." "But what?" Henry looked at her too.
