CHAPTER 268 EAVESDROPPING

Yvonne gently massaged her eyes. "It's not that. I was already feeling a little hungover when I woke up this morning after drinking too much last night. Plus I had another two glasses just now so that made it worse. I'll ask Sue to make some soup to relieve it."

After she said that, she got up and headed to the kitchen.

However, her foot got caught onto the sofa after taking a few steps.

She shrieked as she was caught off guard and began t o fall backward.

Henry's pupils contracted when he saw her falling and immediately grabbed onto her arm after placing his glass on the coffee table.

However, Henry had grabbed onto her a little too late. Instead of being able to pull her up, he was pulled down together with her and they both fell onto the ground. Luckily, neither of them were injured due to the carpet that absorbed most of the impact.

Henry had landed on top of Yvonne and she was slightly uncomfortable with the weight on top of her.

"U-um..." Her face blushed as she pushed the man's chest. "Could you get up please?"

Henry did not move and stared into her eyes instead.

She could feel her heart racing as she stared at Henry’s passionate gaze and her breathing became heavy. "You’re very heavy.”

She opened her mouth again.

This time, Henry lifted his upper body slightly but still did not stand up. Instead, he rested both his arms on the ground around Yvonne's body. "You...”

Before he could even speak, a shriek came from behind him.

Henry raised his eyebrow and turned to look in the direction the shriek came from to see Sue standing by the kitchen with a surprised look on her face.

"Sue!" growled Henry.

Sue gathered her emotions and awkwardly replied," Ahem... I was just coming out to pick up something.”

"And have you taken it?" asked Henry coldly.

Sue rolled her eyes. "Yes I have, I should return to my work now. I shall not interrupt the two of you then."

As she finished, Sue stifled her laughter and went back into the kitchen.

Silence fell in the living room again. Yvonne's face was now as red as a tomato.

She had never expected Sue to walk in and see the position they were in-Sue had even laughed at her. How was Yvonne supposed to face her now?

Henry looked at her and single-handedly removed her hand from her face and asked, "Why are you covering your face?"

"What do you think? Sue just saw what happened," scolded Yvonne, still blushing.

Henry snickered. "So what if she saw us? She's left already. Also, didn't she ask us to continue?"

"Continue?" Yvonne's eyes widened. "What are you intending to do?"

"What do you think?" asked Henry in return.

Yvonne’s eyes widened. "Are you thinking of doing it here?"

"Why not!" Henry exclaimed as he reached out for the glass of wine on the coffee table. This belongs to .

He then drank all the wine in the glass in front of her confused eyes.

As he finished, he placed the glass back onto the table, then used that hand to raise Yvonne's chin, forcing her mouth open, then lowered in to kiss her and slowly transferred the wine from his mouth to hers.

"Y-you...” Yvonne was stunned. The moment she realized what he was doing and wanted to speak, she had been choked by the sudden gush of wine flowing into her mouth. 1

Henry got up and looked at her, waiting for her to finish coughing.

When she was almost done coughing, he went in to kiss her again before she could scold him for forcing wine down her throat.

Alcohol was known to be used as a stimulant and the alcohol Yvonne had drank caused her to be seduced away by Henry once again in addition to the condition she was already in.

She could not contain her excitement and was carried away in an instant. Her arms were raised and wrapped around Henry's neck.

As he noticed Yvonne reacting to his advances, Henry felt even more encouraged and the intensity of his kiss increased before he dominated her completely.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the living room changed and not long after, clothes began to scatter everywhere

The next day, Yvonne got out of Henry’s car and waved at him before turning to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Henry suddenly stood i n front of the elevator and shouted to her, "Come up to my office for lunch from now on.”

"What?" Yvonne was startled. Before she could ask him for the reason, he had already entered the elevator and the doors closed.

Helpless, she could only hold back her question.

She decided to have lunch at his office and save some money along the way which was a good idea.

Yvonne began to hum and entered another elevator to head up to her Planning Department.

Lynette saw her and began to scan her, then rubbed her chin and teased, "Wow, look at you, looking fabulous. I suppose you had your fair share of fun last night.”

Yvonne’s face blushed bright red. "What are you saying!"

"Judging by your reaction, I guess I'm correct then?" snickered Yvonne.

Yvonne slapped Lynette on the back and said," Alright, hurry up and turn on your laptop. It's time for work."

"Alright alright.” Lynette nodded, proud at herself.

Time seemed to always pass very quickly in the morning. When it was lunchtime, Yvonne rejected Lynette’s request to have lunch together and secretly went to the private elevator while avoiding

everyone else.

As she arrived at the CEO’s office, Yvonne raised her hand to knock on the door when she suddenly realized that the door was slightly ajar and a faint sob could be heard from the inside.

Hold on, sobbing?

Why would there be someone sobbing in Henry’s office?

Yvonne found it strange and couldn’t help but feel curious. She bent and placed her ear by the slit in the door to eavesdrop.

She was surprised to find out who the owner of the sound was.

It was Jacqueline!

What was she doing here?

Yvonne felt a little sour and bit on her lip subconsciously.

At that moment, she was not satisfied with only eavesdropping on their conversation. She pushed the door silently to open it a little more. That way, she could have a look at what was happening inside.

All she saw was Jacqueline wearing a white dress and standing in front of Henry's desk whilst muttering something inaudible from her incessant crying.

"I beg of you Henry, please let my father go. I know you hate us for the things we've done, but it was all my idea. If you really must have your revenge, blame it on me then..."

"Didn't I explain my intention to you clearly last night? Why did you come and find me personally again today?" said Henry coldly.

Jacqueline's petite face paled. "Are you really going to be so cruel to me, Henry?” "I'm not the one who’s cruel, you are. You felt no remorse when you cruelly committed those crimes previously. Now that you’re on the receiving end, suddenly I’m the cruel one?” mocked Henry.

Jacqueline was so shocked by his words she stepped back in disbelief. "Can’t we move past all this now that it already happened a long time ago? I'm willing to kneel and apologize to Ms. Frey. Please let my father g o, Henry, I can't bear to imagine what'll happen to him there due to his age. Plus, the Conrad Group needs him."

Yvonne rolled her eyes in contempt as she heard this.

Kneel and apologize?

If that could solve and repent her sins, would there still be law and order?
