CHAPTER 303 SHE'S JACQUELINE’S OLDER SISTER

Bang!

Yvonne's forehead collided against the windshield and she gasped in pain.

Henry didn't expect that at all. He promptly slammed o n the brakes and the car screeched to a halt before he unfastened his seatbelt and then reached out to check on her.

A frown instantly appeared on his face when he saw a large red patch on her forehead. "Why are you such an idiot?" i

Yvonne was a little annoyed. "Who are you calling an idiot? I was just caught off guard by your question..."

"You're just feeling guilty, aren't you?" Henry shot her a cold glance, then opened the small fridge. He took out a can of cold beer and tossed it to her. "Use this on it. Wouldn't want Grandpa to see it and think I did that to you."

"Wasn't that what happened?" Yvonne muttered under her breath.

That didn't escape Henry’s ears and he gave her the silent stare.

Yvonne shrank in her seat and said nothing else.

The man looked away, then tapped his finger on the steering wheel. "Spill it. Why did you go looking for

Elliot?"

"Just to ask a few questions. But how did you find out

"Someone was talking about it in the community group chat. The person who started the discussion was Elliot’s housekeeper," Henry said flatly.

Yvonne was taken aback by the revelation. "You're saying Elliot deliberately made my visit known?" 1

"What else could it be? His objective is nothing more than letting me know," Henry snorted coldly.

Yvonne bit her lower lip. "Sorry, I didn't expect he would..." 1

Elliot probably did this to make Henry misunderstand the situation and make both of them fight.

What a sinister man he was.

"That’s enough. I'm not interested in his intention. I only want to know what questions you asked him.” Henry got the car moving again.

Yvonne pressed the cold beer can against her forehead. "Nothing interesting in particular, just..."

She went on to giving Henry the purpose and details o f her visit to Elliot without omitting anything.

After listening to her, Henry's eyes narrowed into slits. "Shane..."

"Well, he claimed that Shane knows, but I'm not sure how much. I didn't ask Shane either." Yvonne looked out of the window.

The only thing she didn't understand was why Elliot kept urging her to investigate the matter herself.

"If what Elliot said is true and that person really exists, then I’ll deal with this matter. You just stay out of trouble and don't get yourself involved," Henry reminded her.

Yvonne pouted, "But I wanna do something for you too."

"Thank you. You’re already doing me a favor by staying safe. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else, understand?" Henry warned her again.

Yvonne didn't dare to defy his order so she just nodded several times. No one knew the thoughts in her heart except for herself.

When the two arrived at the family residence, they were just in time for dinner.

The old man had been waiting in the dining room for a while. At the sight of both of them, the old man smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared as he ushered them to sit down.

Dinner was extremely sumptuous. The menu was specially put together by the kitchen under Master Lancaster’s arrangement.

There was no doubt that the chef in the family residence was a better cook than Sue was. Yvonne ate a lot and only set her spoon down when she was so stuffed that she could no longer take another bite.

Master Lancaster wiped his mouth and said, "Now that we're done, come with me to my study."

Yvonne glanced at Henry.

Henry offered Yvonne his hand. Her eyes instantly lit u p before putting her hand on his.

The old man nodded with great relief at the scene before him. "I'm relieved to see both of you getting along so well with each other now."

"Alright, Grandpa. Let's talk business." Henry quickly changed the subject.

The old man just shot him a glare then went straight t o the main agenda, which was the business alliance that Sue mentioned in the morning.

Just as Sue said, the old man really planned on delegating the task of organizing the event to them.

Since Henry had no objections to the arrangement, he accepted the responsibility on the spot.

On the contrary, Yvonne was a little anxious and didn't know what to do.

Her anxiety didn’t escape Master Lancaster's eyes. The old man poked Henry's calf with his cane. "Henry, you'll have to guide Yvonne when the time comes.”

Henry gave Yvonne a side glance before acknowledging the instruction given to him.

Of course, Yvonne was well aware that Master

Lancaster was looking out for her and she was grateful for his consideration. "Thank you, Grandpa.”

"No need to thank me. It's getting late, so you two should go back and rest. This old man needs his rest too." After saying that, the old man got up unsteadily and left the room with his old butler, Frederick.

"Grandpa is hunching even more now," Yvonne commented softly as she watched the old man leave.

Henry's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard it. "I've made arrangements with the nursing home. Let’s return to our room now."

"Alright." Yvonne then boldly clung to Henry's arm.

Henry looked at her, a little surprised by her action, but he didn't push her away either. Just like that, he led her to their room.

The next day, Henry didn't leave early. He stayed back in the family residence and had breakfast with Yvonne and his grandfather.

After breakfast, he sent Yvonne back to the villa before leaving elsewhere by himself.

Instead of going to the company, he went to the hospital.

Shane worked overtime and just came out from an operation. He was completely drained and dead tired. But the sight of Henry in his office sobered him up again.

"Why are you here?" Shane yawned.

Henry sat in his office chair, fiddling with the pen holder in his hand. "I'm here to ask you something.”

"What is it?" Shane was a little stunned. "What’s so important that you have to come all the way here instead of calling me on the phone? Do you have too much time on hand? Wasn't your company targeted recently?" holds this content.

Henry ignored his teasing and gave him a hard stare." The CEO of Taylor Group claimed that you knew of a secret about Jacqueline's sister. Is that true?"

Shane's eyes instantly widened. "CEO of the Taylor Group? You mean Elliot Taylor?"

Henry lifted his chin slightly as he affirmed his question with silence.

Shane’s eyes narrowed behind his glasses. "How strange. Why is he telling you all these things when he doesn't really have anything to do with us?"

"I don't know what his intentions are, but from what you said, it seems like his claim is true?” Henry set the pen holder down on the table with a loud bang.

Shane was silent for a while before letting out a sigh." Yes, I do know that Jacqueline has an older sister."

"When did you find out?" Henry’s frown deepened.

The doctor took off his glasses and wiped them. “A few months ago, I guess. I found out by accident." "Then why didn't you tell me?" Henry was a little

upset.

Shane sneered coldly. "Why should I tell you? So that you can help Jacqueline reunite with her sister or help Dominic find his daughter? At that time, you were still very close to Jacqueline."

Henry's face darkened but he said nothing.

Shane didn’t even bother to look at him. "I was extremely surprised to learn about this and was also investigating this in private. I wanted to know what happened and why Dominic’s daughter was still alive. Unfortunately, it was a fruitless investigation."

"Wait a minute.” Henry raised his hand. "You said she's still alive? You mean she shouldn’t have been alive?”

Shane nodded. "Yes, because Jacqueline's older sister i s the same child that Dominic claimed to have died along with his ex-wife.”

Henry was in a great shock though his face suggested otherwise. "How can you be so sure that it is Dominic and his ex-wife’s daughter and not some illegitimate daughter?"
