CHAPTER 110 RESENTMENT

Yvonne shook the bag in her hand slightly. "I have nothing much. Just this."

"Let’s go then." He put one of his hands in his pocket and walked toward the door.

Yvonne followed behind him closely.

They went downstairs at the same time. Sue was waiting for them in the living room. "Master, madam, may I know whether you're heading to the family residence now?”

"Yes," Yvonne nodded.

"Have a safe journey.” Sue gave them a kind reminder.

Yvonne smiled softly and left the villa with Henry.

The car was parked at the entrance. Yvonne turned and waved at Sue before getting into the car.

She realized that there was someone else in the car. It was Joe.

"Madam, good evening." Joe smiled and greeted her.

He would only address her like that only when no one else was around.

Yvonne greeted him with a smile. “Hello."

Joe did not focus much on her then. He started the car and threw a glance at Henry from the rearview mirror.

"Mr. Lancaster, you asked me to investigate Mr.

Taylor. I have the results now."

Yvonne became quite energetic when she heard that. She straightened her back slightly.

Henry noticed her subconscious movement. He became slightly annoyed.

Why did she care so much about Elliot?

"Tell me now!" Henry spoke coldly.

Joe replied immediately, "Elliot is actually the adopted son of Shaw Taylor, the chairman of Taylor Group..."

"Wait a minute." Henry interrupted him. "Are you saying that he’s an adopted son?"

"Yes, he’s indeed an adopted child. Although Chairman Taylor claims that Elliot is his son, he is the one who adopted Elliot. Moreover, there's something strange about it. Elliot appeared all of a sudden. The data regarding his previous life is nothing but fake.”

"Fake?" Henry narrowed his eyes.

Yvonne seemed to notice the tension lingering among them. She swallowed subconsciously and listened to them quietly.

Joe turned the steering wheel and said, "Yes. I confirmed it several times. Everything is made up, including his name. He got his name only a few years ago. Besides, we couldn't figure out his previous name, where he studied before, and where he was adopted b

y Chairman Taylor given that all we got was fake data."

Henry drummed his finger against his knees. He was silent for a short while before he said, "Did you find out the reason behind it, including why he concealed his background information and changed his name?"

"I didn't, but..."

"But what?"

Joe cleared his throat. "When I was investigating it, I accidentally found that Chairman Taylor had some kind of resentment with the old gentleman."

Yvonne could not suppress her curiosity and asked them, "Who is the old gentleman?"

Henry pursed his lips slightly. "My father."

"What?" Yvonne was surprised.

It was his father.

Indeed, it was the first time she heard anything related to his parents.

"Did my father bear some grudges against Shaw Taylor?" Henry clenched his hands tightly as he put them on his knees.

Why had he never heard about that?

"Yes. But it was not a big argument. At that time, the old gentleman was still in charge of the Lancaster Group. He once competed for a piece of land with Chairman Taylor. Chairman Taylor tried so hard to gain that piece of land. But he was still defeated by the old gentleman. Chairman Taylor even said that...” Joe stopped the car before the red light.

Henry narrowed his eyes. "What did he say?"

Joe turned around and looked at Henry. He replied, " Chairman Taylor claimed that there'll never be any kind of business cooperation between the Taylor Group and Lancaster Group for the rest of his life."

"That's rather weird," Yvonne interjected them all of a sudden.

Henry tilted his head slightly. "Tell me about it. Why is it weird?"

"What he said is weird." Yvonne touched her chin." Chairman Taylor said that he won't have any kind of cooperation with Lancaster Group for the rest of his life. But he's still alive. Now Elliot is going to cooperate with the Lancaster Group. Doesn't that go against what they claimed?"

"What madam said is logical." Joe agreed with Yvonne.

Henry leaned back slightly. "Whose idea is it regarding the cooperation between the Taylor Group and Lancaster Group? Is it Elliot's or Shaw's?"

"I don't know about that." Joe shook his head.

Yvonne moved her lips slightly. "Henry, what if we cancel the cooperation with the Taylor Group?"

"Why?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne breathed out a sigh and arranged her words nicely. "Of course I'm afraid that they’re plotting some schemes against us. You said that Chairman Taylor bears some kind of grudges with the Lancasters. He even said a thing like that. Now they’re going to cooperate with the Lancaster Group all of a sudden. So I'm worried that they might be plotting things. Do they want to use this chance to plot against the Lancaster Group?"

After listening to her, Henry changed the way he looked at her. He seemed to be complimenting her wit. "I never thought that you had such awareness."

Yvonne touched her nose in embarrassment. "It's because I'm rather concerned with what happened in the morning.”

"Your conjecture is possible." Henry put his arms around himself. "But I won't cancel the cooperation. We'll carry it on."

Yvonne was confused. "Aren't you afraid that there'll b e some problems?”

"I’m curious to know what the Taylor Group is up to. That's why we’ll carry it on. If they do want to plot against us, there might be a second incidence of it if w e manage to avoid it this time around. If that's the case, why don't we fight them head-on?" Henry's eyelids fluttered slightly.

"But..." Yvonne was still slightly worried.

Suddenly, Henry stretched his hand out and patted the back of her head. "It's fine. I know what I'm doing.

Don't you worry about it. You just need to avoid getting in touch with everyone from the Taylors, especially Elliot. Do you understand?"

"Alright." Yvonne nodded. "I know. But you need to be careful. If they do try to plot against the Lancaster Group just because of that piece of land, I'm afraid that they might use some cunning tricks during the collaboration.”

Joe smiled and said, "Don't worry, madam. Mr.

Lancaster is experienced in dealing with cunning tricks and schemes. When the late master and late madam were involved in an accident that year, Mr. Lancaster was only a teenage boy. After taking charge of the Lancaster Group, the old men from the board of directors always stood against him because of his young age. But Mr. Lancaster managed to endure it."

Yvonne was saddened by that after listening to Joe." You must have suffered miserably during that time."

"Miserably?” Henry smirked coldly. "It’s not miserable after all when I managed to kick each and every single parasite out of the Lancaster Group."

Yvonne's lips twitched slightly. "Fine. I'll keep quiet about it."

Those people were indeed pitiful, being confronted by him.

Why did they bully such a smart and cunning man like him? They deserved to be kicked out of the group.

When she thought about that, she could not hide her smile anymore.

He was indeed her husband. He was able to take control of such a large group at such a young age. He even managed to kick out those people who bullied him.

He was indeed an exceptional man.

"Why are you smiling?" Henry looked at her smile and asked all of a sudden.

Yvonne quickly hid her smile. She shook her head slightly. "Nothing. I was just thinking about something which made me proud.”

"Is that so?" Henry replied softly and asked no more about it. Clearly, he was not interested in the things which made her proud.

Half an hour later, they reached the family residence o f the Lancasters. Content is © by .

Master was waiting for them in the hall beforehand, knowing that they would be coming home. He even asked Frederick to wait for them at the entrance of the family residence.

"Young master, young mistress, here you are." Frederick went forward and took the bag from Yvonne. He smiled and greeted them.

Yvonne immediately greeted him too. "Frederick, have you been waiting for us for a long time?”

Frederick smiled in a gentler manner. "Not for long. Please come in. Master is waiting for you in the hall."

Then, he led them into the family residence.

It was the second time Yvonne went there. She went t o the family residence for the first time three years ago when she married Henry.

She was stunned by the grandeur of the family residence three years ago. The same thing happened t o her now.

The family residence of the Lancaster Group was an ancient manor house that was large. It required more than half a day if one intended to stroll around the entire house.

Henry once told her that the manor house was more than a hundred years old now. They inherited it from the great ancestors of the Lancasters.

As she was thinking about that, Yvonne wanted to ask Henry more about the family residence. But she did not see him beside her.

"Henry, why are you still standing at the back?"
