Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 535 Dennis

"If that's the case... This could be shocking news!" Yvonne muttered.

Six years ago, Dominic took the initiative to sell the Conrad Group, and then announced his resignation from the business industry in Vancouver.

In other words, after the Conrad Group was sold, there were at least several hundred million dollars in Dominic's hands. Even if Dominic lost a huge portion o f the money after going against Shaw, he should definitely have a couple hundred millions left.

All that money fell into Jacqueline's hands, but even if she wasted the money, it was still absolutely impossible to spend all of it in just six years.

Therefore, there must be some problem that caused that huge amount of money to disappear so suddenly. Nobody knew what Jacqueline did with the money.

Perhaps this could be another blow for Jacqueline if Yvonne figured out the reason behind this.

As Yvonne thought about it, she took out her cell phone to call someone.

The call quickly connected, and a deep but loving voice could be heard through the phone. "Shan?"

"Dad, good evening." Yvonne smiled and greeted Sir Smith on the other end of the call.

It was just getting dark where Sir Smith lived due to the time difference.

He laughed and said, "Something must be up if you're calling me at this hour, right?"

"You know me well, Dad," Yvonne replied coquettishly.

Her coquettish reply made Sir Smith pleased and his eyes became even more loving. "Tell me, what’s the matter?"

"I want to borrow someone from you." As Yvonne got down to business, her expression immediately became serious.

Sir Smith could tell from her tone that the person she wanted to borrow must be someone unusual. His expression turned serious too as he asked, "Who do you want to borrow?"

"Dennis," Yvonne said.

Sir Smith was taken aback, "What do you need him for?"

This Dennis that Yvonne was talking about was one of Sir Smith's most important right-hand men and the Smith Group trades department director.

However, that was just Dennis's identity on the surface. He had another identity in secret, which was a world-class hacker. He had outstanding skills and was known as the god of the virtual world.

The reason why the Smith Group's digital assets were unbreakable was all because of him. He grew up as an orphan, and because of the Smith Foundation’s funding, he graduated from college and started working for Sir Smith.

"I want him to help me investigate some huge cash flow," Yvonne answered truthfully.

Sir Smith pondered for a while and finally agreed.

Yvonne was grateful. "Dad, thank you."

"You're my daughter, don't mention it. I'll arrange for Dennis to go to your place tomorrow. You need to arrange a discreet position for him in the company so that his true identity won't get revealed. His hacking skills are so outstanding that countries all over the world want to recruit him, so don't lose him," Sir Smith said half-jokingly.

Yvonne touched the tip of her nose. "Don’t worry, Dad. When I get the results I want, I'll return him to you in one piece."

"That's a promise. You’re going to return him to me as soon as you get your result."

"Mhm." Yvonne nodded repeatedly.

After that, Sir Smith asked about Theo's recent condition.

Yvonne briefly told him about Theo's recent changes, and Sir Smith was so happy. He wanted Theo to talk t o him on the phone.

But later, he found out that Theo was not awake yet, so he had to give up.

When the call ended, Yvonne put down her phone, and breakfast had just arrived. After she grabbed breakfast, she went to wake Theo up. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Theo was slightly irritated when he woke up. After being woken up, he refused to get out of bed. It took him a long time to get dressed and ready.

When both of them finished their breakfast and cleaned up, it was almost noon.

Yvonne carried Theo into the car. A child seat was installed in the car.

Theo's petite body was strapped in the seat, and she could only see his tiny head and short limbs. It was so adorable, anyone would want to hug and kiss him if they saw him like that.

Yvonne couldn’t help kissing and hugging him. She also took loads of pictures with her cell phone, and finally, she reluctantly stopped when she noticed Theo's little mouth frowning slightly.

She knew that Theo was a little unhappy.

"Okay, baby. Let's go." Yvonne closed the car door and opened the door to the driver's seat with a content look on her face. She finally got in and drove towards the kindergarten.

When they arrived in kindergarten, it happened to be their lunch break.

Yvonne held Theo's hand and walked to the principal's office. However, she was informed by the principal's assistant that the principal was having a meeting with the teachers in the conference room.

Yvonne had no choice but to wait with Theo at the principal’s office for his return.

She knew she couldn’t interrupt the principal’s meeting.

After waiting for a while, Yvonne's cell phone rang and it was from Lisa. It was probably about the company.

Yvonne put the phone close to her ear to answer the call, but halfway through, she saw Theo suddenly getting off his chair and walking towards the door.

Yvonne quickly put the phone away and asked, "Theo, where are you going?"

Theo didn’t respond as he opened the door.

Yvonne took a guess. "Are you going to the washroom?"

Theo nodded.

Yvonne was relieved. "Go quickly then, Mommy will wait for you here. Come back after you're done using the washroom, okay?"

Theo's mouth moved a little to show that he agreed. H e then turned around and walked out of the office.

The office door closed again, and Yvonne put the phone back to her ear. "Go on, where were we?"

"Annual inventory," Lisa replied.

Yvonne immediately remembered.

In the next ten minutes, they worked out an annual inventory plan, and the call finally came to an end.

Yvonne put her phone away and looked at the door as she wondered why Theo hadn't come back yet.

Just when she picked up her bag and was about to go t o the washroom to look for Theo, she could hear the sound of clumsy footsteps coming from outside the office.

The footsteps were very rapid and it sounded like the person was running. The footsteps got closer and closer and finally stopped at the office door.

The office door sprang open.

The principal's assistant came in with a child and she seemed to be panicking. After seeing Yvonne, she quickly said, "Miss Smith, bad news. Theo is injured."

"What did you say?" Yvonne could hear a buzzing sound in her head, and she immediately looked at her arms.

The child in the assistant's arms was Theo.

But Theo’s eyes were closed and he was unconscious. There were several deep red marks on his tender and pale face. At first sight, the red marks were pinch marks, and it was obvious somebody must've done it with great force. Some parts were even purple and

bleeding a little.

When Yvonne saw it, she felt as if the whole world was spinning. Her whole body started shaking and she almost fainted.

"Give me my child!" She yelled emotionally and snatched Theo from the assistant's arms. Her trembling voice was full of fear. "What happened, Theo? Don’t scare Mommy, please. Theo. Theo?"

As she called out for Theo, she gently shook him a few times.

Theo didn’t respond.

At that moment, Yvonne felt as if her heartbeat stopped. She didn’t have time to think about it so she rushed out of the office while holding Theo as she wanted to get to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she broke into Shane's consultation room and begged loudly, "Shane, hurry, save Theo!"
