CHAPTER 274 IS HE HAYDEN LANCASTER

Yvonne pointed to the plaster on his neck, pretending as if she did not know that it was a birthmark underneath.

She did not forget what Henry had told her before, how Hayden was kidnapped by someone who had a grudge against the Lancasters. And hence there was a chance that Hayden had been brainwashed by them t o become a tool to get revenge against the Lancasters.

That was why she could only test him through some other methods instead of asking directly to avoid suspicion.

"You mean this?" Elliot covered the part of his neck that Yvonne had pointed to.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, I never noticed that you had something on your neck before. Now that you're covering it up, were you really injured?"

"I’m not injured, it’s just that there’s a rather unsightly birthmark on it,” replied Elliot calmly.

Yvonne nervously grabbed onto her thigh and said," What kind of birthmark?"

"What’s up? You’re being awfully curious.” Elliot squinted his charming eyes and looked at her.

His pupils were black in color, and it was not the usual amber color that one saw normally. His were so black that it was like staring into a black hole, slowly sucking one in.

Yvonne was anxious and worried that he would notice something was wrong and averted her gaze. Then she replied stiffly, "It's nothing. It’s just rare to see a birthmark on someone's neck, that’s all."

"It really is quite rare, but I’m not going to tell you what it looks like." Elliot curved his lips upwards and continued, "Unless, you divorce Henry and get together with me. Then I’ll show it to you every day, how about it? Not just the birthmark, but I’ll let you see every part of my body all you want."

Yvonne squinted and a few dark lines appeared on her forehead. "Enough!” exclusive content.

Elliot laughed heartily. "Alright, I'll stop joking. I should go now, the car's ready. Eye!"

He waved his hands at her and walked off with his head held high.

Yvonne gradually started to calm down. She was deep in thought as she saw Elliot walking away- there were so many holes in the puzzle.

He had a red birthmark which completely matched Hayden Lancaster’s profile. However, she was unable t o say for sure if he actually was Hayden.

"Madam, I'll start the car now, please be seated," said Luke suddenly. Yvonne gathered her thoughts when she heard him.

Yvonne's eyes lit up as she came around. She winded u p the car windows and said, "Alright, let's go then."

The car revved.

Yvonne rubbed her cheek and came to a decision. It didn't matter if he was Elliot or Taylor-the birthmark on his neck was enough reason to investigate further.

She must inform Henry about her discovery when she arrived at the office.

There was no way she would pass up such a huge lead on finding Hayden after all the effort she'd put in.

As she thought of this, she took a deep breath and calmed herself. She would control her emotions and her thoughts until she arrived at the office.

However, by the time she arrived at the office, it was already half an hour past her working hours. In other words, she was royally late for work!

Her team leader had called her into his office and lectured her for a good while, finally letting her off after asking her to write him a 500-word report to repent for her mistake.

"Are you alright Yvonne?" asked the concerned Lynette as she saw Yvonne returning to her place with her head sinking low.

Yvonne shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, it’s just my hand is a little sore from writing that repentance report."

"The leader asked you to do that?” Lynette looked at her surprisedly.

Yvonne shrugged. "Yeap.”

"So you've finished writing it?”

"Would I be able to come back if I hadn’t finished?” Yvonne laughed wryly.

"That's true.” Lynette gazed at Yvonne for a while before asking again, "Did something happen to you? You're rarely late for work.”

"Nothing happened. I merely ran into traffic on the way.” Yvonne turned on her computer. "Alright Lyn, let's get back to work.”

"Ok." Lynette could only leave it at that and suppressed her urge to ask more. She then got back to work as well.

After work, Yvonne turned off her computer and rushed off before Lynette could even ask her where she was going for lunch that day.

Yvonne's hasty retreat had left Lynette in shock-she had thought that Yvonne's house was on fire for her to run off so quickly without even saying goodbye.

In fact, Yvonne had been looking forward to leaving the office since that morning.

She could not wait to tell Henry that there was a birthmark on Elliot's neck but couldn't since she had t o work. She felt tortured the entire day.

She had looked forward to leaving the office so much that time actually seemed to pass by much slower than usual.

Now that it was finally time to leave, there was no way she could contain herself any longer and had to see Henry immediately.

When she arrived at Henry’s office, the door opened just as she was about to knock on it.

Joe had appeared from the other side carrying stacks of files with him. He was startled for a moment when h e saw her. "Madam?"

"Is he inside?" Yvonne pointed in the direction behind Joe.

When Joe understood who she meant, he nodded slightly. "Mr. Lancaster is in, but he’s extremely busy a t the moment. If you're here to eat with him, I would suggest you wait by the rest area first."

"Food isn't the main point. I have something important to tell him. Could you help me inform Henry that I’m here to see him urgently?" begged Yvonne.

"Err...”

Just as Joe was nervously deciding what to do next, Henry's voice came out from the inside. His voice was calm, yet a hint of tiredness could be heard. "Who's that outside Joe?"

Yvonne made a pleading gesture at Joe.

Joe sighed, then replied honestly, "It's madam, Mr. Lancaster, she says she has something to tell you."

"Let her in,” instructed Henry.

Yvonne smiled and thanked Joe before stepping into the office.

As she entered, she smelled the strong aroma of coffee in the air, the kind that did not have any sugar or creamer in it.

Yvonne subconsciously walked towards Henry's desk and looked at it. There was a cup of coffee that was half gone.

Yvonne's lips twitched as she saw the cup of coffee. She looked confused.

She clearly remembered that Henry had not drank coffee for a very long time. He always drank tea. Why was he drinking coffee again all of a sudden?

"Joe said that you have something you wish to tell me. What is it?" Henry closed the file he was reading a moment ago and turned to look at Yvonne.

Yvonne looked at him in the eyes for a while before replying, "It's about your brother."

It was obvious that Henry had not slept last night from the dark circles under his eyes. Even his clothes were the same as the ones he wore the day before.

This was enough to prove how hurriedly he had left this morning without even going back to his room last night. What was it that was so important that he had t o stay up the whole night?

Evidently, the coffee was meant to keep him awake.

"Hayden?" Henry raised an eyebrow.

Yvonne nodded. "That's right. Didn’t you say that Hayden had a red birthmark on his neck? I just remembered where I saw one before."

Henry suddenly jumped. "What did you say? You remembered?"

"Yes."

"Who is it then?" Henry placed his hands on his desk and looked at her earnestly.

Yvonne clenched her fist and slowly uttered, "Elliot Taylor!"

Henry was stunned for a few seconds, then he asked again to confirm, "Who did you say it is?"

"Elliot Taylor!" replied Yvonne.

Henry heard it clearly this time. His face sunk and he only spoke after a while, "How could it be him?"

"I find it hard to believe as well, but it really is him. I saw the red birthmark on his neck with my own eyes."

"And how did you come to remember about this today?" asked Henry as he stared at her.
