CHAPTER 304 YVONNE FREY'S IDENTITY
"Because the hospital keeps the data of all the patients who have received treatment here. It just takes some cross-checking to find out," Shane explained briefly.
Henry couldn't keep his composure at all. "In other words, you have the DNA of Dominic and his ex- wife’s daughter? Do you know who she is?”
Shane lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Henry gripped the pen holder tightly. "Who is she?"
"Before I answer that question, can you tell me your purpose for looking for her?" Shane looked at him very seriously.
Henry rubbed his temples. "Yvonne Frey is the one looking for her. She wants Dominic's older daughter to fight for the inheritance with Jacqueline. I'm sure you know there can never be two heiresses in a family. If there are two, the internal dispute will surely bring great harm to the family."
"And then?" Light reflected off Shane's glasses.
How did Yvonne know Jacqueline had an older sister?
Could it be that Elliot told her that too?
How did Elliot know though? What role was he playing in this situation?
"And then..." Henry's dark eyes glinted as his thin lips curled into a smirk. “Of course she’s thinking of making that happen to help me weaken the Lancasters ' enemies."
The corners of Shane’s mouth twitched. "I know you're showing off to me that she's doing all this for you."
Henry snorted. "So can you tell me now?"
"I can, hut..." Shane trailed off and kept Henry waiting.
Henry's face sank unhappily. "What else do you want?"
"I only have one request. You keep her as well as the daughter of Dominic and his ex-wife safe," Shane replied.
Henry pressed his thin lips. "Reason?"
"Because she is Yvonne Frey," Shane uttered the truth slowly.
Henry’s eyes instantly widened as the expression on his face changed slightly. "What are you talking about? Yvonne Frey is Dominic's daughter?"
"Yes." Shane nodded.
"Impossible!" Henry shot up from his seat. "How could she be Dominic's daughter?!"
"I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but this is the truth." Shane went to the bookcase at the side then opened a drawer. He retrieved a report and threw it to him. "These are Yvonne, Jacqueline, and Dominic's DNA results. You’ll know I'm not lying to you if you
take a good look at them."
Henry didn’t respond and just quickly flipped through the documents.
In the end, he violently crumpled the documents into a ball gloomily. "When did you find out that Yvonne Frey is Dominic's daughter?"
"Before Jacqueline's first operation. I was in charge of doing a comprehensive physical examination for Yvonne. At that time, the nurse discovered that something was off with them and that was how I found out about them," Shane explained.
Henry stared at him sullenly. "Why didn't you tell me until now?!"
"First, I didn't know how to break the news to you. Second, I don't think I’m obligated to tell you anything." Shane looked at him indifferently.
Bang!
Henry slammed his fist on the table. "Shane, you..."
"Enough!" Shane interrupted, "Bather than blaming m e, you might as well think about what you plan to do now that you know Yvonne's true identity. Are you going to tell her the truth or keep it from her?"
Henry fell silent.
Shane looked at him for a while and suddenly sighed," Henry, this is no trivial matter. Whether you choose to tell or hide it from her, it will hurt her either way.
You'll have to consider it carefully. I'm a little tired. I'll get some shut-eye in the lounge. Close the door when you leave." 1
The doctor patted Henry's shoulder after saying that and then left the office.
Henry was left all alone in the office.
He sat down on the chair again, holding his forehead with his big hands while staring intently at the crumpled documents.
He knew that Yvonne wasn't the Freys’ daughter and h e had been looking for her real parents.
But he never expected her real parents to be Dominic and his ex-wife.
What a bad joke this was. Her closest relative was her enemy. Henry didn't even know if he should tell her the truth. If he did, would she accept it?
Henry didn't know the answer. He closed his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he suddenly tore up the documents to pieces, then got up and left, i
Back at the company, he still couldn't take his mind off this matter. He couldn't focus on his work and kept spacing out during meetings. Content is © by .
Even Joe was stunned because he had never seen Henry like this.
After the meeting, he could no longer keep it in anymore and asked in concern, "Mr. Lancaster, are you feeling unwell?"
"I’m fine." Henry soothed the throbbing veins on his temples. "Call back the people you sent to look for Yvonne's biological parents. There's no need for that anymore.”
"Oh?" Joe pushed his glasses up in surprise.
Henry sipped on his iced coffee. "I already know who her parents are. I’m giving you another task.”
Joe's expression turned serious. "Please continue, Mr. Lancaster."
"Send a few people over and bring the Freys to the basement in the parking lot. I want to see them tomorrow.” Henry narrowed his eyes and gave the order. The air around him turned so cold that it could send chills down one’s spine.
Now that he knew who Yvonne’s biological parents were, he had nothing else to worry about. It was time t o ask how Yvonne became their daughter.
Joe was surprised by the coldness in Henry’s tone when he received the man's order. He then nodded solemnly, "Understood, Mr. Lancaster."
"Go make the necessary arrangements, I’ll be leaving now." Henry picked up his suit jacket and stood up.
Joe watched him leave the office, feeling stunned.
Mr. Lancaster went home early again...
When Henry returned to the villa, it was only three in the afternoon.
Yvonne was reading a design book. When she caught a glimpse of Henry returning out of the corner of her eye, she was in disbelief. She even thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her and quickly put down the book she was holding to rub her eyes.
After giving it a good rub, she looked in the direction where Henry was and only to find that he was still standing there.
That meant he was really back.
"You...” Yvonne pointed at him.
Henry pushed her finger away and remarked in disgust, "Idiot.”
Yvonne's face instantly darkened. "You called me an idiot again."
"Are you not?" Henry lifted her chin and stared at her face. "Don’t rub your eyes again, they're all red already."
Yvonne's heart was instantly filled with sweetness when she heard his words of concern and quickly nodded. "Okay, I won't. By the way, why are you back s o early today?”
"I have a headache, so I came back early.” Henry walked around the sofa and sat down on it.
Yvonne was extremely concerned. "Headache? Are you not feeling well?"
She reached out to touch his forehead.
But Henry avoided her. "No, just overwhelmed by too much stuff that has been going on lately."
"Really?" Yvonne was still a little worried.
"Yeah," Henry responded.
"I see." Yvonne silently checked the expression on his face. She was relieved to find that nothing looked out o f place so she stopped pestering him about it.
"I'm glad you're not sick, but you must tell if you're feeling unwell." Yvonne poured him a glass of water." You always keep things bottled up in your heart and would never tell unless someone asks. It’s really kind o f frustrating to see you like this."
"Are you lecturing me here?" Henry raised an eyebrow at her.
Yvonne shook her head. "Nope, I’m just showing some concern.”
Henry just snorted but said nothing else.
He picked up the glass and took a sip of water before putting it down again. "Yvonne Frey. If you find out that your current family isn’t your real family and your real family is your enemy, would you still accept them?"
