CHAPTER 232 THEY COME ASKING FOR MONEY AGAIN
Yvonne touched her lips which were kissed by him. She blushed on the spot. She was stunned too.
'He... He kissed me again!
'It was a goodbye kiss!’
Yvonne's heartbeat quickened. She was surprised and overjoyed.
It surprised her to see Henry act like that. He never did such a thing before.
Now, he was not as cold and aloof as he used to be. He knew how to tease her now, hugging her and kissing her all the time. She was caught off guard every time.
Thinking of that, Yvonne put down her hand and smiled sweetly.
At that moment, the phone on the coffee table in the living room rang all of a sudden.
She recovered herself and did not dwell on that for long. She went and answered the call.
It was a call from Lynette. So she answered the phone and put it near her ear without any hesitation. "Hello, Lyn..."
"Yvonne, something's wrong.” Lynette sounded anxious.
Yvonne became nervous too. "What’s the matter?"
"It’s your mom and brother. They came to the company just now," said Lynette anxiously.
Yvonne was stunned. Her facial expression changed drastically. "What? Why did they go to the company?"
"I don’t know either. I just know that they came looking for you. When they heard that you'd resigned, they found me. They even asked me for your contact number. But I didn't give it to them, so they..." As she was describing the incident, her tone changed at that moment. She became quite anxious and angry.
Yvonne knew what her mother and brother were like. She became quite anxious. "What did they do to you? Did they beat you up?"
"No." Lynette shook her head. "Your mom asked your brother to grab me when she realized that I was not going to give her your contact number. She then snatched my phone away and got your contact number."
"How could they be so bold to do such a thing?” Yvonne was angry.
She always knew that her mother was a rude person, but she never thought that her mom would act so rashly and unreasonably.
She asked her son to grab Lynette and snatched Lynette's phone away. It was clearly against the law.
She just told Henry that they would not do any illegal things. It seemed what she said just now was
disproved immediately.
"Yes. I never thought that they would be so daring to d o such a thing. But luckily the manager hailed the security guard over and made them leave," said Lynette.
But Yvonne was not relieved. She asked in concern," Did Jason hurt you when he grabbed you?"
"No. He didn't dare to do such a thing since we were in the office."
"That's good then." Yvonne was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, Lynette said again, "Yvonne, your mom got your contact number. I think they’ll call you soon, you
H
Before Lynette could finish, Yvonne felt that the call stopped for a short while. After that, she took a glance at her phone in suspicion. Taking a glance at it, she realized that there was another incoming call. It was a local number which was both strange and familiar for her.
Her facial expression soon darkened when she saw that contact number.
Lynette made a right guess. She did receive a call from them.
But Yvonne had no intention to answer the call directly. She hung up that call directly and apologized to Lynette. She then gave Jason a call.
The moment Jason answered the call, his noisy voice came to her from the other end of the phone. "Yvonne, f*ck you! How dare you hang up my call?"
Listening to him, she soon became cold. "Jason, how dare you say a thing like that? Is that how you talk to your sister?"
Jason sneered. "You hung up my call. Not only did you hang up my call, but you even changed your contact number all of a sudden. Dad and Mom couldn’t even contact you."
"Are they looking for me?” Yvonne sneered. "What for? Do they want to ask after me? Or do they want to ask for money from me again?”
Jason was stunned to hear that. He soon became quite angry. "Yvonne, how could you talk like that? Why did you act so strange? So what if they ask for money from you? They raised you up. Shouldn't you give them money?”
"I didn't say that I won't give them money," Yvonne said without any facial expression. "I just wonder why they had to spend all the money I gave them on you."
Jason was stunned. Then, he shouted, "So what if they spent it on me? I'm their son. They need me to take care of them in the future when they’re old. That’s why they need to give me money now. Besides, you’re my sister. You should give me money too."
"So you tried your best to look for me. You just want to ask for money from me again. Am I right?" Yvonne clenched the phone in her hand tightly and suppressed her anger as she said so. holds this content.
"If not, did we call you to ask you to eat with us?" Jason admitted.
Suddenly, she felt quite exhausted. "Jason, I'm more than willing to see you call me up to ask me to eat with you. At least, you still treat me like your sister and not some kind of ATM machine."
"That's enough. Why do you have to say such things?" Jason interrupted her impatiently. "Yvonne, how much do you have now? Just give it to me."
He seemed to be commanding her.
Yvonne felt that she was engulfed in pain. "I don't have money, and I won't give you any. Besides, your brother-in-law has prohibited you from asking for money from me again. Have you forgotten about that?"
Now that Yvonne brought up Henry, Jason did not appear so arrogant and angry anymore. "I didn’t forget. I remembered what he said. At first, I didn’t want to ask for money from you. But it's different this time around."
"What's different?" Yvonne frowned.
Jason sounded ambiguous. "This... I’ll let you talk to mom."
After that, he handed the phone to Mrs. Frey beside him.
Mrs. Frey decided to be soft and gentle on her. She addressed Yvonne in an endearing tone. "Yvonne, it's me, your mom.”
Hearing that, Yvonne could not help but shiver slightly. She got goosebumps soon.
She was used to being treated harshly and coldly by her mother. So she could not accept Mrs. Frey acting like a hypocrite before her.
"Mom, talk properly." Yvonne touched her forehead and said helplessly, "Jason told me that the reason you're asking for money this time around is different. What's wrong? Besides, you went to the villa again yesterday. Not only that, but you went and made a scene at my previous workplace and snatched away Lyn's phone. You...”
"That's enough!” Mrs. Frey could not pretend anymore. She interrupted Yvonne. "It's your fault. We couldn’t seem to locate you. If not, did I have to go to so many places? I went to the mansion to meet you, and Sue told me that you'd moved out. Why did you move out?”
Yvonne’s eyes fluttered. "Mom, this is my business. You don't have to bother about it."
"I'm your mom. Why couldn't I bother about it? My son-in-law found Jason and asked him about your whereabouts previously. What happened? Are you really going through a divorce with him?" When Mrs. Frey talked about divorce, her voice became much more shrill.
Yvonne’s heart sank. She asked tentatively, "Mom, who told you about that?” "It's Lynette. She said so when I asked her for your contact number just now. She said that I didn't even show concern
toward you when you were going through divorce with my son-in-law. If I knew that beforehand, I would’ve certainly looked for you sooner,” Mrs. Frey sneered and said in contempt.
Yvonne pursed her lips. "I wanted a divorce before. But I don’t have that intention for the time being."
"Really?” Mrs. Frey did not seem to believe her.
Yvonne suppressed her impatience and nodded. "Yes."
"That’s good.” Mrs. Frey's facial expression changed. She put on a fake smile. "Luckily you don’t have such a n intention now. If not, I'd certainly beat you up vigorously. Take a look at it yourself. My son-in-law is such a nice man. He's rich too. Why do you want a divorce? Just when did you become so bold?”
"That's enough, Mom. I’m not getting a divorce. Let’s not talk about it. You haven’t told me about the reason why Jason asked for money from me.” Yvonne rolled her eyes.
That was the reason why she did not dare to tell her parents that she was going to divorce Henry before.
They would really beat her up vigorously given their temperaments.
For them, it was such a proud thing for them to have a rich son-in-law. They would never allow her to get a
divorce.
"That’s right. I'm infuriated by you that I've almost forgotten about it." Mrs. Frey patted her forehand. "It's like this, Yvonne. Your brother got a girlfriend recently. His girlfriend is pregnant, so..."
"What? Is she pregnant with Jason's baby?" Yvonne interrupted her in surprise.
