CHAPTER 299 LIAM

"She's past the critical stage, but she still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for quite some time," said the dispirited Lynette.

Yvonne bit her lip. "Lyn..."

She never expected so much to have happened to Lynette's family in such a short time while she was away.

"I'm alright." Lynette shook her head and cooled herself. "I better get going now, I’ll talk to you again next time Yvonne."

After that, Lynette packed her things into a carton box and left the office with it when she was done.

Yvonne watched as Lynette left, her heart displeased.

"I wonder if there's something I can do to help?" muttered Yvonne.

At that moment, her phone rang, cutting off her thoughts.

She took out her phone and glanced at her screen. Joe was calling her.

Without delay, she answered and placed the phone by her ear after checking her surroundings. "Hello Joe."

"Madam, have you picked up your stuff?" asked Joe.

Yvonne looked at the documents that she had taken

out from her desk. "I have."

"Then you should head back down soon. I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot," said Joe.

Yvonne acknowledged it and hung up the phone.

Shortly after, she picked up her own documents, turned her head, and stared at Lynette’s desk for a while before leaving the office with a sigh.

She actually had some questions for Lynette but Lynette had left so soon that she couldn’t even begin t o ask.

The only way she would be able to meet Lynette next time would be to visit her at the hospital while visiting her mom at the same time. She could also check and see if there was anything that she could do t o help at the same time. 1

On the way, Yvonne absent-mindedly looked out of the window with a frown. She was emotionally down a t the time.

Joe looked at her through the front mirror quite a few times. In the end, he couldn't stop himself from asking, "Are you alright madam?"

Yvonne shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just..."

Yvonne suddenly straightened her back with her hands placed on the window. Her eyes were fixated o n a particular area.

Joe asked out of curiosity, "What do you see madam?" He did not dare to avert his eyes as he was driving. Hence he couldn’t notice anything unusual outside.

Yvonne did not answer immediately, not until the car came to a halt on the next street. Yvonne put down her hands and her expression showed that she was slightly excited as she said, "I just saw Jacqueline.”

"Ms. Conrad?” Joe raised an eyebrow.

Yvonne acknowledged him and said, "She was just outside a cafe with a non-local man. They seemed to b e arguing over something..."

"A man from overseas?" Joe's eyes flashed through his glasses. "Madam, the man you were referring to, was h e dressed fancily with gold hair?”

"I think so. I wasn’t able to see clearly," said Yvonne, a little unsure herself.

Joe tightly gripped the steering wheel. "I believe it’s him."

"You seem to know who the guy is, am I right?"

Yvonne looked at Joe from behind.

Joe nodded his head. "Mr. Lancaster probably mentioned to you about a guy called Liam, right?"

"Liam..." Yvonne said the name repeatedly, and her eyes suddenly opened wide. "You're saying that the man I just saw is Liam? The man that Jacqueline truly loves?" "That's right."

Yvonne twitched her lips. "I must be seeing things!" "What's wrong?" asked Joe.

Yvonne recalled the image she had just seen a while ago and trembled. "I just realized that Jacqueline's taste is rather peculiar for falling in love with that man. Although I have never met Liam in person, I'm sure that he's not a nice man after seeing him momentarily just now."

"You seem to have a knack at judging a person's character madam," said Joe as he laughed.

Yvonne rubbed her cheeks. "I'm merely talking about my first impression of Liam."

"Is that so. However, you're not wrong, madam. Liam truly isn't a nice man at all," replied Joe.

Yvonne fell silent for a moment. "When did Liam arrive in Vancouver?"

"It’s been a few days now. If I were to be exact, it should be the day before you were hospitalized madam," answered Joe.

Yvonne's eyes flashed. "No wonder...”

She had been wondering why Jacqueline had not looked for Henry for the past few days.

She thought that Jacqueline had not appeared in front of Henry because she had been rescued.

However, she now realized that was only part of the reason-the other reason was that her true love was now here with her. Why would she still need her backup partner?

"Does Henry know?" Yvonne clenched her fist.

Joe squinted his eyes. "Mr. Lancaster knows since he asked us to monitor Ms. Conrad."

Yvonne rubbed her nose, embarrassed that she had just asked a very silly question. "About that... How's the surveillance going, any news on Dominic?"

"Regrettably, we haven't found any trace of him. He hasn't been in contact with Jacqueline. Jacqueline has not been meeting anyone other than Liam either," answered Joe as he shrugged his shoulders. exclusive content.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Isn't Dominic worried at all by leaving Jacqueline alone here?"

"I'm not sure about that." Joe shrugged his shoulders again.

Yvonne pursed her slightly pale lips and kept quiet. She went deep in thought with her eyes lowered.

They arrived at the villa half an hour later.

Yvonne opened the door and got out of the car. She then turned around and went into the villa after thanking Joe.

Sue saw that she had arrived home and immediately poured her a glass of water.

Yvonne took the glass from her and sat on the sofa. She seemed to be concerned about something.

Sue looked at Yvonne and was about to ask her if something was wrong, but stopped herself in the end.

After a while, Yvonne finished off the glass of water and placed it down before saying, "Sue, do you think it is possible that Dominic's child from his first wife is still alive?"

"What?" Sue was startled. "What makes you think so madam?"

She found the question a little funny.

Yvonne could not explain why she thought so. She gathered her thoughts and organized her words. "It's because Dominic left Jacqueline alone to fend for herself and he doesn't seem to be worried for her.

That’s why I was wondering if the reason he's not worried is because he has another child..." 1

"I see." Sue shook her head and laughed. "You're overthinking things madam. The child from

Dominic's first wife did not survive, and Dominic said i t himself. However, there is something strange."

"What's strange?" Yvonne's interest was piqued.

Sue murmured, "Dominic announced that both his wife and child had passed away, but no funeral was held for them. No one even knows where they've been buried."

"Why is that?" Yvonne was puzzled.

Sue pursed her lips. "Who knows, maybe he did something unspeakable and needed to conceal the

truth."

Yvonne rubbed her chin and made an assumption," Maybe that was only a facade. Maybe the truth is that his wife and child were still alive, I would receive information that Jacqueline still has a sister."

"How is that possible?" Sue was startled.

Yvonne shook her stiff neck. "I’m not sure how true this information is, and that's why I'm still suspicious about it."

"Madam, do you mean you are planning to look for Jacqueline's sister?" Sue looked at Yvonne with a curious face.

Yvonne stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. "I thought of that. That person said that I would be surprised when I manage to find Jacqueline’s sister, that’s why..."

"Hold on, let's put aside the genuineness of this information first. Even if it is true, what good will come from finding her sister?" Sue waved her hand in disagreement in an attempt to stop Yvonne from doing anything foolish.

Yvonne grinned slyly. "I plan to pit Jacqueline and her sister against each other in a ring of course." 2

"What are you planning madam?" Sue couldn’t keep u p with Yvonne's thoughts.
