CHAPTER 265 DOMINIC CONRAD'S IMPRISONMENT

Sue flailed excitedly. "I’m talking about Dominic Conrad, of course! He... He..."

"What happened to him? Hurry up and spill it." Yvonne wasn't sure if she should cry or laugh at her.

Sue took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down first before saying it all in one breath, "He’s in jail!"

"What?!" Yvonne sat up abruptly from the bed, wide awake now despite feeling a little groggy earlier. Her mind was filled with only the words Sue had told her." Did you say that he's in jail?"

Sue nodded repeatedly. "Yes, he was arrested early this morning and the results came out that morning itself. Now everyone in the city knows about it. It’s even on the news." This belongs to .

"How can it be so fast?" Yvonne was speechless. "Isn't there some kind of process to follow?"

"Of course,” Sue chuckled mischievously. "But since sir intervened, the process doesn't really matter anymore. In any case, he would still need to go to jail after the process is complete. So it was better to save the trouble and just directly put him in prison."

"You're right about that." Yvonne strongly agreed with her opinion and even wept tears of joy at the news.

As Sue said, going straight to jail was the most suitable consequence for people like Dominic Conrad.

Besides, going through the process required a certain amount of time before he would be tried in the court. What if something unforeseen happened during this period of time?

Although the Conrads weren't as influential as the Lancasters, their influence was still quite decent. There was a possibility that Dominic might be able to find someone who could get him out of this

sticky situation. Hence, it was better to send him straight to jail in order to prevent such possibilities from happening. At least Henry had finally done something right for once.

The thought of this caused Yvonne’s body to tremble slightly with excitement. "Sue, where’s Henry?”

Sue looked at the time before replying, "Sir should still be at the police station right now."

"I see." Yvonne nodded in understanding.

"Madam, now that sir has made sure that justice is served for you, maybe it's time you forgive him?" Sue suddenly probed.

The smile on Yvonne’s face slowly faded at the question, but she remained silent.

Sue sighed after seeing her response. "I guess I was rushing into things. Madam, please don't mind me." "Don’t worry about it. Pass me my phone, Sue. I'd like t o check the news." Yvonne stretched her hand out.

Sue fetched Yvonne’s phone from the bedside table, then handed it over to her.

Yvonne took her phone, then pulled up a news website. She didn't even really need to search for anything. Dominic Conrad’s imprisonment was already high up there on the homepage.

She instantly tapped on it and started reading through the article with her full attention.

The content pretty much matched what Sue told her. Dominic was arrested in the morning and sentenced t o five years in prison for kidnapping a wealthy lady by noon.

The sentence was quite serious for a well-known businessman like Dominic Conrad. When the background of the chairman of a listed company was tainted by a criminal record, their consumer

base would be affected.

After all, consumers were the most sensible and realistic group of people. Dominic’s imprisonment would make them question the credibility or even boycott the products from the Conrad Group. Over time, the market value of the Conrad Group would definitely plunge and this might even lead to bankruptcy.

Therefore, Yvonne was quite satisfied with this outcome. Her only dissatisfaction was the fact that Jacqueline didn't have to face any consequences.

She was the real murderer, yet she was allowed to escape from her crimes just because of her health issues and concerns that she would commit suicide. All of this just left a bad taste in Yvonne’s mouth!

"Madam, what's on your mind?" Sue couldn't help but ask in concern when she noticed the unsatisfied expression on her face.

Yvonne shook her head. "Nothing much, I was just thinking about Jacqueline."

"Why are you thinking about her?" Sue curled her lip i n disgust.

Yvonne smiled and continued reading the rest of the news without saying anything else.

After reading the entire article, she pressed her phone tightly against her chest. Tears welled up in her eyes a s she whispered almost inaudibly, "My baby, your mom has finally gotten some revenge for you..."

As for the rest, she definitely wouldn’t miss out on any opportunity that was presented to her!

Sue was standing by the bed, so naturally she heard Yvonne's mumbles. She couldn’t help stop the tears from welling up in her eyes and also felt sad for her." Madam..."

"I'm fine, Sue. Is there any food? I'm starving all of a sudden. I’ll definitely be eating an extra portion later. It's rare to wake up to good news like today, am I right?" Yvonne lifted her face and forced a strong

smile at Sue.

But that couldn't fool Sue. She could tell how upset Yvonne was deep down in her heart.

After all, losing her child was her eternal pain.

However, since Yvonne didn't want anyone to know she was sad, Sue felt that it was better for her to pretend that she didn't know anything.

"Yes, I’ve made a lot of food. You must eat a lot later, madam! It's a celebration!” Sue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yvonne hummed a response. "Good suggestion. Thank you Sue."

"You're welcome, madam. You should get up and wash up. I'll prepare the food now. It’ll be ready shortly." Sue then left the room after saying that.

Yvonne tilted her head back and looked at the ceiling a s she recomposed herself before getting out of bed. Just when she had put on her shoes and was about to leave the room, her phone suddenly rang.

That stopped her in her tracks. She raised her phone and took a glance at it. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Why was he calling?

Without much hesitation, Yvonne brought the phone t o her ear and answered the call. "Shane!" "Congrats, Yvonne! Dominic Conrad is in jail now."

Shane's familiar voice came through.

Yvonne smiled. "Thank you."

Shane's tone grew serious as he suddenly asked," What are you going to do now? Let go of the past and forgive Henry?"

Yvonne fell silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know. I used to think that I'd forgive him when Dominic is put behind bars. But now..."

"But?" Shane narrowed his eyes. "Did something happen?"

Yvonne hummed a response. "Jacqueline Conrad just came back yesterday."

"What?!" Shane exclaimed in shock. "She did?"

"Yeah."

"No wonder..." Shane trailed off.

The corners of Yvonne's lips twitched. "Seriously, I was a little flustered when I saw her yesterday. I also feel that she still has a place in Henry's heart. Even if she wasn't as special to him as she used to be, but still..."

"So you are worried that Henry still cares about her?" Shane asked.

Yvonne bit her lip. "Something like that."

"Well, you don’t really need to worry. Maybe things aren't as bad as you think." Shane tried assuring her.

Yvonne's lips curled into a confident smile. "Perhaps." "Well, don't think too much about it. Just tell me if Henry really does something stupid and I'll take care o f him for you," Shane offered.

That amused Yvonne. "Really?"

"Yeah!" Shane's eyes softened, but Yvonne couldn't see that on the other end of the line. "No matter what happens, I'll stand by your side."

"Huh?" Yvonne was taken aback by his statement.

What did he mean by that?

Why was he defending her like this?

Yvonne could faintly sense something, yet she couldn't quite put a finger on it. She just thought that Shane sounded a little weird to her. So weird that it made her very uncomfortable. She just laughed it off, then quickly changed the topic. “Did you call me just t o congratulate me?"
