CHAPTER 275 SHOCKING HENRY LANCASTER
Yvonne didn’t try to keep it from Henry and she told him about meeting Elliot Taylor during the morning rush hour.
Of course, she didn’t tell him everything such as how Elliot asked her to divorce and the fact that Jacqueline had a sister. Yvonne only told him about the birthmark.
After listening, Henry held his forehead with one hand and he didn't speak for a long time. He seemed t o be immersed in the shock of Elliot’s birthmark.
Seeing him like this, Yvonne knew that he felt very uneasy at the moment.
In fact, she was right.
There was a whirlwind in Henry’s head.
After all, no one could accept the fact that the younger brother whom they had spent a long time looking for turned out to be someone he hated and even tried to sabotage his relationship.
So, his mood was peculiar at the moment.
"Henry." Yvonne stepped forward and asked across the desk, "Do you think he's your brother?"
Henry closed his eyes. “I don't know. But it's possible since you said that he has a red birthmark."
"That's true." Yvonne nodded and said, "If he really is your brother, then he can’t be a Taylor. Does that mean the Taylor family took your brother away?"
Henry squinted his eyes. "The Taylors..."
"By the way, Henry, does the Taylor family have any grudges with the Lancaster family?" Yvonne asked.
Henry shook his head slightly. "I don't know."
"Huh? You don't know?" Yvonne was surprised.
Henry replied, "I haven't heard of any grudges between the Taylor and Lancaster family before. Of course, there may be, but I'm not sure." 1 holds this content.
Yvonne looked at him. "Then are you planning to check on Chairman Taylor and Elliot?"
Henry nodded. "The two biggest wishes that Grandpa has are to hold his great-grandson and get Hayden back. It doesn’t matter if Elliot is Hayden-his birthmark is worth looking into."
"What if we find out that he's not?" Yvonne was a little worried.
Henry took a breath wearily, "Then we’ll keep searching until we find Hayden.”
"Got it." Yvonne nodded as she understood what he meant.
Henry took a sip of his coffee that had completely turned cold. "You should eat first.”
"What about you?" Yvonne asked.
Henry put down his coffee. "I have something else to d o. I'll eat later, you may go first.”
He waved Yvonne away.
Yvonne wanted to persuade him further, telling him that no matter how busy he was, he should continue with work after the meal.
But looking at his persistence, she couldn't continue with what she wanted to say.
Finally, she sighed and went out.
After she left, Henry leaned back in the chair for a while. He then picked up his phone and called the old man.
The old man was taking an afternoon nap when Henry’s call woke him up. He sounded impatient when he picked up the call. "You better have something important to ask, otherwise I won't be easy on you."
"Grandpa," Henry said helplessly. "Grandpa, please be serious. I have something important to talk about."
"Alright. What's the matter? Tell me," the old man snorted, displeased.
Henry's expression became solemn. "Grandpa, let me ask you. Does our family have any resentments with the Taylor family?” “The Taylor family?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you suddenly asking me about this?"
Henry's eyes flashed. "It's for our partnership. We rarely cooperate with the Taylor family, so we have to understand their background." Henry wasn't prepared to tell the truth to the old man at this point in time, just in case it turned out that Elliot was not Hayden.
That would be a hopeless dream. Henry didn't want to see the old man get disappointed again and again.
"That's true." The old man tapped his head lightly and answered, "Our family and the Taylor family didn't bear any grudges against each other. Instead, we've had a pretty good relationship for the past 20 years. It’s mainly because of your father who was friends with Shaw Taylor since young."
"Friends?" Henry squinted. "Why did I never hear about this from you?"
"There's nothing to talk about. It's been more than 20 years. Both the Taylor and Lancaster family lost contact with each other since Shaw suddenly went abroad 20 years ago."
"20 years ago..." Henry muttered.
The time frame actually matched the time when Hayden was taken away.
After thinking, Henry asked again, "Grandpa, was Hayden born when Shaw Taylor went abroad?"
"Not yet. Your mother was still conceiving Hayden at that time," the old man replied.
Henry's heart sank.
Shaw went abroad before Hayden was born. Did that mean Hayden wasn't taken by Shaw?
No, not necessarily.
There wasn't a need to take a child away by himself. Someone else could do it for him.
"Grandpa,'' Henry tightened his lips, "I have one more question. Do you know why Shaw went abroad?"
"I don't know that." The old man waved his hand." Your father should know. He was depressed for a long time after Shaw left and he wouldn't mention anything about Shaw. Unfortunately, your dad left early..."
"Alright, I know." Henry’s eyes darkened.
As soon as Shaw left, his father was depressed and Shaw was no longer mentioned. From this point, Henry could tell that something unpleasant must have happened between his father and Shaw Taylor.
They were best friends after all. Even if they were separated, they could still contact each other occasionally. They’d never stay out of touch with each other.
It was clear that what happened between his father and Shaw was not a small matter. Perhaps this incident was what made Shaw Taylor feel hatred and thus he took Hayden away.
Thinking of this, Henry told the old man something else and hung up the phone. Then, he called Joe into his office.
"Mr. Lancaster." Joe stood in front of his desk.
Henry pinched his eyebrows. "Arrange a private flight to a foreign country for tomorrow."
"Mr. Lancaster, are you going abroad?" Joe asked.
Henry hummed and answered, "I’ll be visiting the chairman of the Taylor Group."
Regardless of whether he was the one who took Hayden away, the chances of him being the culprit was pretty high based on the current clues.
Furthermore, Henry's father was involved in this. He had to meet Shaw in person.
"Alright," Joe answered.
After that, Henry instructed again, "Besides, think of a way to have someone work at the Taylor Group."
"Mr. Lancaster?" Joe was surprised that his glasses fell. "Have someone to work at the Taylor Group?"
"Yes, I want that person to be able to get close to Elliot and get his hair," Henry said in a deep voice.
The immediate and easiest way to prove if Elliot was Hayden was to do a DNA test. His appearance could be changed, but not his genes.
If the results showed that Elliot was Hayden, he could then confirm that Shaw was the one who took Hayden away. For that, he would find a way to make Shaw pay for what he did.
If the results showed that Elliot wasn’t Hayden, he would naturally pretend that nothing had happened.
"Mr. Lancaster, you want Mr. Taylor’s hair? Do you suspect that Mr. Taylor is..." Joe grasped the main point very quickly that his shocked expression changed.
Henry pursed his lips. He didn't admit or deny it, but waved his hand. "Make the arrangement.”
"Yes." Joe nodded and then thought of something. He said, "Mr. Lancaster, the tasks of arranging for someone to work at the Taylor Group and making sure this person can get close to Mr. Taylor are not easy. It may not be completed in a short period of time, nor can you get the hair."
"I know, but don't worry about the time. What’s important is to not let Elliot notice this," Henry warned in a deep voice. "Also, please investigate the reason behind Shaw's return and the relationship between him and Elliot.”
"Got it!" Joe responded with a stern face and turned around to leave the room.
Henry sat in his chair for a while more and took the last sip of his coffee. After settling a document in front of him, he got up and walked out of the office to the lounge.
