CHAPTER 277 HARSH ACTIONS

Jacqueline looked up at her slowly. She didn't answer Yvonne's question but instead asked, "Where's Henry?"

She spoke as if she was the mistress of the villa.

Yvonne frowned uncomfortably, "You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"

"I came here to look for Henry.” Jacqueline placed her teacup down.

"He isn't here.” Yvonne replied coldly as she sat opposite Jacqueline.

Jacqueline's expression instantly soured. "Where did h e go?"

"Why don't you call him and ask him yourself?" Yvonne played with her nails. She didn’t want to give the woman an answer.

Seeing that Yvonne refused to talk to her, Jacqueline's face grew red with anger.

Henry had blacklisted her number long ago.

If she could reach Henry, would she have had to come here personally to ask for him?

Additionally, she couldn't even enter Henry’s company now so she had no chance to see him. Otherwise, she wouldn't come here to attempt to meet him.

"Yvonne, are you sure you're not going to answer me?" Jacqueline narrowed her eyes. There was a hint of coercion in her voice.

"What are you planning?" Yvonne looked at her warily.

Jacqueline laughed humorlessly, "If you honestly tell me where Henry is and when he’ll be back, I won't do anything. Otherwise, I can't promise you that I won't try anything." exclusive content.

She grabbed the fruit knife from the coffee table and drew a small cut on her fingertip.

When Yvonne saw this, she immediately understood the woman's intention. Her fury rose. "You’re threatening me!"

Jacqueline sat on the sofa lazily. "If I don't use any threats, can I get anything done? So, will you answer m e now?"

Yvonne was irate but laughed instead, "Fine. I'll tell you. He is in the company, working overtime. You can go to his company to look for him. You’re not welcome here. Please leave!"

Even though she didn’t want to admit it, Jacqueline's threat worked on her.

If Jacqueline tried to harm herself here, Yvonne might not be able to handle the situation.

There was only one word to describe that woman. Jacqueline was truly despicable!

"I won't leave." Jacqueline placed the fruit knife down and crossed her legs. "I will stay here and wait for Henry to come back." 2

"What's the use of waiting for him here? I don't even know what time he will come hack." Yvonne pointed out.

Jacqueline tidied the synthetic hair on her shoulder," It's alright. I can wait, no matter how long it takes.”

When Yvonne saw Jacqueline's shameless and unrepentant face, it made her feel like vomiting. She even felt that there was a stench around that woman and she felt desperate to get rid of her.

"If you want to wait, please go outside. Don’t wait for him here!"

"Why can't I wait for him here? This is Henry’s villa. It isn't yours, Yvonne." Jacqueline taunted.

Yvonne’s mouth twitched and she answered coldly," But I'm the mistress of this villa, and I don't want you here. You need to go or I’ll call security.”

"Do you think I’d be scared?" Jacqueline folded her arms.

Yvonne took away the fruit knife in front of Jacqueline and removed Jacqueline's means of threatening her. "You really aren’t leaving?" she asked again.

"I'm not leaving!" Jacqueline raised her chin, acting as if Yvonne couldn't do anything to her.

Yvonne sneered inwardly. She turned to Sue and shouted, "Sue, get security! Tell them that there is a trespasser here. Ask them to send their people here."

"Yes, I'm on it!” Sue immediately carried out her order.

Jacqueline glared rudely at Yvonne. "Yvonne, you really dare to treat me like this?"

"Why not? I already told you to leave. Since you refuse, I have to use physical force on you. Otherwise, you'd think I'm a pushover." Yvonne snarled.

Jacqueline was so angry that her chest rose and sank rapidly. Her face contorted with anger as she threatened, "Yvonne, do you want to die? How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid that Henry will be mad at you?"

"You’re imagining things. Do you think that you're still that person that he'd protect regardless of anything you do? Let me tell you something. You’re not. Right now, to him, you're just a she-devil who treats him as a backup boyfriend.” Yvonne snapped back fearlessly.

Jacqueline was shaking with anger. Her bloodshot eyes stared straight at Yvonne as if she was about to eat the woman in front of her.

"Yvonne, how dare you call me a she-devil?" She could no longer hold back her emotions. She stood up from the sofa and lunged forward, attempting to scratch Yvonne’s face.

Yvonne reacted and quickly dodged to one side. She picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and splashed it at Jacqueline.

Jacqueline was stunned when she realized that Yvonne had thrown water at her face. She stood motionless for a second before she finally shrieked uncontrollably," Yvonne!"

Yvonne calmly placed the glass down, “Have you calmed down now? You're in my house and you're trying to hit me. Are you even qualified to do that?"

"You... you..." Jacqueline was so angry that she couldn't even speak.

Yvonne had no interest to entertain the woman any longer. She turned around and walked to the door.

Sue brought two security guards back with her.

Yvonne gave the two guards an amiable smile before she pointed at Jacqueline. "Sorry to trouble both of you, but please get her out of my house. Thank you."

The two security guards had already heard from Sue about the trespasser so they acceded to Yvonne's request without even hesitating.

When Jacqueline realized that the security guards were really here to catch her, she threatened them as she tried to evade them. "Go away! Don't touch me. Do you know who I am?"

The two security guards stopped immediately when they heard her and looked to Yvonne for support.

Yvonne flashed a mirthless smile, "Don't worry. She isn't anyone we’ve to worry about. She is just the daughter of a criminal.”

"I see,” one of the security guards remarked with realization.

Since the woman was just the daughter of a criminal, why should they be wary of her?

With that, the two security guards escorted Jacqueline without any second thoughts and dragged her out of the villa.

Sue was quite shocked by Yvonne's resolve. She swallowed her saliva and complimented, "Yvonne, you’re fantastic.” 1

Yvonne placed the fruit knife down. "I've no choice. To deal with despicable people like Jacqueline, I've to take a stronger stance. Sue, I'm going upstairs to change and rest for a bit."

After she said that, she went upstairs.

After staying upstairs for about two to three hours, Sue knocked on her door. " Yvonne, Mr. Lancaster is back." 1

Yvonne opened her door. "What time did he come back?"

"It's just that..." Sue answered before her expression became scornful, "Jacqueline is around too. She is still trying to get Mr. Lancaster's attention and asking him to let Dominic Conrad out." “She’s around?" Yvonne was quite surprised. "Didn't I ask security to remove her?" "They dragged her away but that woman is just too crafty. After she got dragged outside, she waited outside for Mr. Lancaster. I only found out about it just now. When Mr. Lancaster arrived, she just followed him in."

Yvonne pursed her lips and laughed sarcastically," She really doesn’t give up." 1

"Yeah, she still thinks that Mr. Lancaster is the same man he was before. She thinks he will relent if she just cries and whines. She's really imagining things," Sue scoffed.

Yvonne tightened her coat. "Let's go, Sue. We should have a look downstairs."

"Yes."

As she walked downstairs, Yvonne heard Jacqueline sobbing from afar, "Henry, you can’t be this cold-hearted. My father is my only family member. He isn’t well. He really can't stay in prison. Please, I beg you. Can you let him go? Please!"

"Begging me is useless. There is nothing I can do. This isn't about me letting him off. It's the law. Do you understand?" Henry said with an emotionless voice.

Jacqueline shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "No! Henry, you can save my father. You can take back your statement and say that you accused my father wrongly and that he is innocent. They will let him out."

"Exactly. If he is innocent, he wouldn't be imprisoned. However, is that premise right? Is your father innocent?” Henry looked at Jacqueline with some contempt.
