CHAPTER 266 JACQUELINE'S PLEA

"Pretty much, but I'm also here to remind you about coming over for a re-examination during the weekend," Shane chuckled lightly.

Yvonne sighed softly, "Okay, I won't forget. I'll hang up now then?"

"Alright, bye!"

"Bye!"

After hanging up, Yvonne put her phone away with a smile then went to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time she had tidied herself up, food was served.

Yvonne went over and swept her eyes across the dishes on the table. And as expected, it was a sumptuous meal as all the dishes looked extremely appetizing.

She sat down and started digging into the food. Her meal tasted better than usual, probably due to the news about Dominic Conrad’s imprisonment.

Yvonne ate an extra bowl of rice, just as she mentioned earlier. The price of overeating was an uncomfortably full tummy. She slumped on her chair and could barely walk.

"Sue, please get me some digestion tablets," Yvonne smiled wryly.

The housekeeper laughed up her sleeve. "Right away.”

It didn't take her long to find the digestion tablets.

Yvonne took two of them and remained sitting as she waited for the food in her tummy to digest.

A few minutes later, she suddenly heard some movements coming from the door.

Someone was opening the door!

She turned her head to the door and quietly stared at i t.

The door opened a few seconds later. Henry came in from outside, wearing only a black shirt with a jacket neatly draped on his arm.

Yvonne went over and the man turned his head when he heard her footsteps. "You’re up."

"Well, it’s noon already so I should wake up," Yvonne reached out and took the coat from his arm.

Henry concentrated on changing his shoes. "Did you see the news?"

Yvonne was hanging up his coat. Her eyes lit up slightly when she heard him. "I did and I was overjoyed. Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I’m just keeping my promise. This is also the punishment that Dominic Conrad deserves.” Henry looked at her after changing his shoes.

The corner of Yvonne's lips twitched. "You are right, but Jacqueline didn’t receive any punishments."

Henry was slightly taken aback by her comment, then frowned. "Do you want Jacqueline to be jailed too?"

"If you want to hear the truth, then my answer is yes, I want her to be jailed." Yvonne met his eyes and nodded neutrally.

Henry pressed his thin lips together and was about to say something when Yvonne interrupted him again." But I haven’t forgotten what you said. If Jacqueline were really jailed, she might do something drastic to herself. In that case, the sacrifice of my bone marrow and my child would have been for naught. That's why I agree with you that she shouldn't be jailed too, but..."

"But what?" Henry raised an eyebrow at her.

Yvonne sighed, "But do you think this the end? Let's not talk about how I'd hate her for the rest of my life, but what if she isn't going to leave the matter at that? Now that Dominic Conrad is in jail, she'll definitely find a way to save him." 2

"I will make sure she won't have the chance to save Dominic," Henry assured her.

Yvonne sighed then shook her head, "You still don't understand what I'm trying to say. I’m saying that you were the one who sent Dominic to jail, so you're the only person who can get him out of there easily. She'll definitely come and beg you to forgive him."

It was then that Henry got what she meant. The expression on his handsome face darkened slightly at her suspicion and distrust. "So you think I won't be able to bear Jacqueline’s pleas and will help her bail Dominic out of jail?"

Yvonne didn't deny the statement and nodded." Jacqueline will definitely come and pester you."

"That's her problem then. At the end of the day, it's up t o me to decide if Dominic Conrad should be released. Don't start overthinking now, okay? Have you eaten yet?" Henry impatiently changed the subject.

Yvonne moved her lips. "I did, how about you?"

"Not yet."

"Well then let me check with Sue if there're any leftovers." Yvonne went into the kitchen after saying that.

Henry glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then went to the sofa with his brows tightly knitted together.

Before he could even sit down, the phone in his pocket rang.

With a frown, he took his phone out and glanced at it. His eyes immediately darkened at the phone number bouncing on his screen.

It just so happened that Yvonne also came out of the kitchen at this time and heard his phone ringing. Her eyes followed the source of the sound and found

Henry standing in front of the sofa with his phone in hand. The deep frown on his face instantly piqued her curiosity.

"Why aren't you answering?” She went over to him and her eyes fell on his phone screen. There was only a string of numbers on the display without any name. Obviously, it wasn't a saved contact.

Yet his reaction told her that this was obviously not a n unfamiliar number to him. On the contrary, it was from an acquaintance of his.

As for the identity of the caller, she probably had a hunch on who it was.

Sure enough, Henry's next action immediately confirmed her guess.

He hung up coldly and said in a deep voice, "It's from a nobody-there's no need to answer it."

"It's Jacqueline, isn't it?" Yvonne wasn't even guessing. It was a confident question from her. 1

Henry squinted at her but didn’t answer.

Yvonne smiled, "I knew it. It's really her. She's probably calling you at this time to plead with you. It’s useless to hang up on her. You should answer it.

Otherwise, she'll just keep calling. See, that proves my point."

She pointed to his phone with her mouth, indicating t o him that Jacqueline had called him again.

Henry looked down at his phone. His handsome face

was gloomy.

"Just answer it," Yvonne advised him. "I'm also curious to find out how she’ll beg you and what kind o f attitude you'll give her."

She looked at him with a serious expression.

"Are you sure?" Henry stared at her.

Yvonne nodded, "Yes."

“Fine, I'll do as you wish." Henry didn't say anything more to her insistence. He swiped the answer button i n front of her and turned on the speaker.

In an instant, Jacqueline's sorrowful sobs and wails flooded the entire living room. "Henry...! W-Why did you do that?"

Henry’s face was cold as he remained unaffected by her question. "I remember I told you yesterday that mistakes will come with consequences. And Dominic shall bear all your wrongdoings and pay double the price."

"But I didn't expect you to send my father to jail!" Jacqueline cried loudly.

Henry snorted coldly, "Going to jail is a punishment that he deserved."

"No, not like this, Henry! I know that my father and I did something wrong, but why must you send my father to jail? What should I do now that he’s in jail? Henry, can you spare my father for the sake of our past relationship...?" Jacqueline begged. exclusive content.

Yvonne stared intently at Henry when she heard that. I f he dared to accept her plea, she had no qualms in fighting him till the bitter end.

Henry naturally understood the intention in her eyes and couldn't help but feel amused. Even so, he kept his emotions in check very well and remained indifferent. "Spare your father? You're asking me to forget everything that you two did?"

His tone was mocking.

On the other end of the line, Jacqueline's eyes flashed with guilt.

That was really what she meant, but of course she couldn't directly admit that.

Hence, she cried even more loudly. "Henry, you were never like this before! You never even thought of taking revenge on me or my father! You even let my father escape overseas under the pressure of your grandfather! But now, you've changed! Did Yvonne tell you something?"

"She didn't tell me anything, I just figured it out all of a sudden." Henry glanced at Yvonne as he replied expressionlessly.

Jacqueline shook her head again and again. "No, the Henry I know isn’t like this. She must have said something! Tell me, Henry, did she threaten you with something?"
