CHAPTER 330 HENRY'S EXPLANATION

Yvonne nodded her head lightly. "Yes."

"Are you not worried that Mr. Lancaster will bring her t o the villa if you head back now?" Elliot stood up as well. Content is © by .

Yvonne lightly smiled, "I don't think so. It’s been a few hours and I've calmed down. Come to think of it, it could be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Puzzled, Elliot looked at her and said, "Do you think it's a misunderstanding that they hugged or Mr. Lancaster's divorce idea?"

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "Perhaps both."

"What do you mean?"

Yvonne took a deep breath and briefly explained her thoughts. "The Lancaster family is currently in trouble. Someone is getting help from the Conrad family to ruin the Lancaster family. Perhaps Henry tricked Jacqueline to find Dominic so that he can figure out the person behind this."

"You really think so? What if that’s not the case?" Elliot asked Yvonne. 1

Yvonne’s heart tugged a little, but she replied certainly, "I trust him. If he really wants to be with Jacqueline, he would not wait until now." "Okay, I get what you mean. Let me send you back."

Elliot fiddled with his car key.

Yvonne smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

After that, she picked up the coat from the back of the chair and left the cafe with him.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she returned to the villa.

Yvonne stood outside of the villa, holding the access card in her hand for a while, and didn't open the door.

In the end, Sue saw her while she was taking the trash out. She hurriedly came over to open the door." Madam?"

"Sue," Yvonne replied with a forced smile.

Sue was so happy that she nearly cried. "Madam, you're finally back. Where have you been this afternoon?"

Yvonne walked into the villa. "I was strolling outside."

"How could you stroll for so long? Do you know how worried I was? I was shocked because you suddenly ran out of the company." Sue poured her a cup of hot tea.

Yvonne took it and thanked her. She then said, "Sorry for making you worry, Sue."

"It’s fine, but sir..."

Yvonne's eyes flashed. "What happened to him?" "He's been looking for you, madam. But your phone is turned off and he couldn’t locate you. He went to the Taylor Group after he found out that you hopped into Elliot's car and he hasn't returned yet," Sue replied.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "I see."

"Madam, you should return a call to sir and inform him that you're back." Sue looked at her.

Yvonne continued sipping her tea silently, pretending that she didn’t hear Sue.

Sue sighed. She knew Yvonne was still worried about what happened earlier, so she didn't say much and took out her mobile phone. "I'll call sir then."

After saying that, she called Henry.

Henry rushed home after receiving the call.

As soon as he entered the living room, he asked Yvonne, "Where have you been?"

He sounded cold, but she could tell that he was concerned.

No one knew how anxious he was when he couldn't find her.

Now that he saw that she had safely returned home, h e was relieved but also angry.

She got into another man's car without informing him and didn't pick up his phone call. Not to mention, she also returned home late. 1 "I just had coffee outside," Yvonne replied casually.

Henry tightened his lips. "Why didn't you answer my call?"

"I didn't want to pick it up." Yvonne looked down.

She told him the truth. She was angry at that time and her mind was confused. She just wanted to stay away from him. How was she supposed to pick up his call?

Henry didn't expect Yvonne to be so direct, and he became furious. "You didn't want to pick up? You're so bold now."

Yvonne laughed sarcastically, "I don't need you to tell me this. But Mr. Lancaster, do you think you're in the right position to question me when you just got back?"

Henry frowned, not only because of what she said, but also of how she addressed him.

She had called him Mr. Lancaster again.

The last time she called him Mr. Lancaster was when she asked for a divorce.

What was she trying to do this time?

"So tell me, what did I do wrong? You ran away suddenly and got into someone else’s car so that I couldn't find you. Am I not supposed to ask?" Henry clenched his fist.

Yvonne took a deep breath. "I’m not saying that you're not supposed to ask, but before that, Mr. Lancaster, have you ever thought of why I ran away and didn't answer your call?"

She looked at him reproachfully.

Henry's face sank. "Because of what I said to Jacqueline in the office?"

Yvonne's eyes flickered. "That's right. Don't you have any explanation for that? And this!"

She took out the mobile phone from her bag, looked for the photo that Elliot sent her, then enlarged it and showed it to him. "How do you explain this? Don't tell me that she fell and you're helping her!"

Henry looked at the photo and was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned serious. "I was really helping her, but how did you get this photo?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Yvonne put down the mobile phone and sneered, "You said that you were helping her. Does it look like that? It looks more like a hug."

Henry squinted his eyes. "You don't trust me?"

Yvonne smiled, laughing mockingly, "Trust? Tell me, how can I trust you?"

Henry pursed his lips and went silent.

He didn't lie as he was really helping Jacqueline. He didn't know how she entered the company. When she found him, she rushed towards him.

He stepped away, wanting to avoid her. He didn't expect that she would fall to the ground, so he subconsciously reached out to grab her but she hugged him instead. It was absurd to find that he had hugged Jacqueline.

It was obvious that he was pulling Jacqueline away but a photo was taken before that. So it looked like he was hugging Jacqueline. The photographer's intention was obvious enough to create a misunderstanding between Yvonne, him, and Jacqueline.

"Why are you silent?" Yvonne's heart sank when she saw that Henry remained silent.

Henry rubbed his painful temples. "There's nothing left to say. I've said what needs to be said. I was helping Jacqueline and you don’t believe it."

"You..." Yvonne was furious.

Nothing left to say?

That was his only explanation? Was he trying to brush her off by telling her that he was just helping Jacqueline and that she still didn’t believe him?

She didn't want to believe him? That was because he didn't explain it properly. She could have believed him if he explained it well enough.

Yvonne closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down, then asked again, "Okay, let's just assume that you were helping Jacqueline. Then, how do you explain the conversation? Do you really want a divorce?"

Henry poured a glass of water to keep his dry throat hydrated, and then replied, "It's not true. I said it on

purpose to deceive her."

Hearing this, Yvonne's eyes flashed. "Deceive? What are you trying to find out?"

"Dominic Conrad," Henry slowly spit out the name without explaining too much.

But Yvonne already understood, and her restless heart suddenly calmed down. "So, I guessed it right?"

Henry didn't hear her, but he turned to look at her. " What did you say?"

Yvonne turned her head awkwardly, avoiding his eyes. "Nothing, I was just thinking. Why did you go after me at that time?"
