CHAPTER 344 GUARD

"Nothing’s impossible. I'm speaking the truth. Henry i s my husband. Do you think he’ll let you off after you poisoned his grandfather?” Yvonne stared at Lynette coldly.

Lynette couldn't bear the pressure anymore and she fell on her knees. "Yvonne... Yvonne, please help me. I’m begging you to help me. I know that I'm wrong. I really do. I don't want to go to jail. Can you help me? Please ask for mercy from Mr. Lancaster..." 1

"How can I plead for you? I can't help you either,” Yvonne interrupted her expressionlessly. "If I help you, I'll become one of the murderers who poisoned m y grandfather. You've already committed a crime. Instead of thinking about how to make up for it, you're trying to get away from it. Are you still the Lynette that I know?"

"I'm not trying to get away from it, but I really can't go t o jail..." Lynette’s body shook with her sobs.

Yvonne took a deep breath. "I know the biggest reason you don't want to go to jail is because of your parents. But what will they think after knowing what you've done?"

"No!" Lynette seemed to be shocked and stood up right away from the ground. "You can't tell my parents. I can’t let them know what I did. If they do, they won't recognize me as their daughter anymore."

"But you can't get the best of both worlds. You can’t escape the law, let alone the revenge from Lancaster’s family. If you surrender, perhaps the punishment will be lighter. If my husband takes action, it’ll be more than just going to jail," Yvonne persuaded her nicely.

Lynette was very stubborn and she didn't want to listen to Yvonne. "No way. She said that she’ll help m e. She'll definitely help me even if you don’t."

"Jacqueline?" Yvonne squinted her eyes.

Lynette stopped crying. "Yes, I did this for her. We're bound together for good or ill. She'll never abandon m e. Never!"

Yvonne felt sad for Lynette as she trusted Jacqueline s o much. "So you'd rather believe in Jacqueline than m e?"

"Sorry, Yvonne. I can't trust you. You want me to go to jail, but I don't want to. I can only choose to believe in others," Lynette said stubbornly.

Yvonne sighed heavily, "Well, I got it now. Then you should look forward to her coming to save you. I'm not just here to find out the truth, but I'm also here to persuade you to repent for your sin. But why do I have to wake someone who's pretending to be asleep? Take care."

She turned around after speaking and left the suite without looking at Lynette.

After leaving, Yvonne wasn't as strong as she seemed earlier. Her eyes turned red and she started tearing up.

Smith handed her a tissue. "What's wrong?”

Yvonne took the tissue to wipe her tears and smiled. Her smile was as ugly as her crying face. "It's nothing. I just don't have close friends anymore, so I can't stop myself from crying. Sorry, this is too embarrassing.”

"Don't worry about it.” Smith shook his head. "What else do you have after this?”

"Nothing else,” Yvonne replied.

Smith nodded. "Let's go then.”

"Hold on.” Yvonne stopped him.

Smith stopped. "Yes?"

"I have to make a call.” Yvonne took her phone out and shook it.

Smith made a gesture of invitation.

After smiling gratefully, Yvonne found Elliot's phone number and dialed it.

"What's the matter?" Very soon, Elliot picked up the call with a yawn. His sleepy voice could be heard from the phone call.

After looking at Lynette's suite number, Yvonne replied, "Elliot, can I ask you for a favor?”

"Oh?" Elliot sounded interested on the other end of the phone. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What a surprise! You're actually asking me for a favor. Say it.

How can I help?"

"I’m at The Stellar Hotel right now. I hope you can send two people over to guard a suite for me. Don't let the person in the suite run away or be taken away," Yvonne said with a cold face.

Since Lynette was looking forward to Jacqueline’s rescue, then Yvonne should kill her hope.

Once Lynette was rescued, Henry would want her for life. Yvonne couldn't imagine how Henry would torture Lynette after he got her.

So to prevent Lynette’s life from being miserable, Yvonne would rather have Lynette go to jail. At least, it was a better option than being tortured.

"Guard a suite?" Elliot was dumbfounded. "Who's in the suite?"

"You don’t have to worry about this. Please help me this time," Yvonne begged.

Elliot snorted unhappily, "I'll help you, but give me a reason why should I help you in vain."

Yvonne was silent for a moment. "What do you want then?"

"Smart! You reacted so quickly, but I haven’t figured out what I want yet. I'll let you know after I’ve thought about it," Elliot smiled satisfyingly.

Yvonne frowned. "What if your request is too much?" "Don’t worry, I'm not a robber," Elliot yawned again.

After hearing this, Yvonne thought for a while and she had made a decision in her mind. "Alright. As long as you don’t ask for too much and it’s something that I can do, I'll promise you." 1

"Great!" Elliot clapped his hands. "I’ll send someone from the hotel to the suite now."

"Okay, I’m on the 32nd floor, suite 3205," Yvonne read the suite number.

Elliot hummed and hung up.

Smith asked, "Is he the one from the Taylor Group?"

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, it’s him."

"He's very lucky," Smith said.

Yvonne clutched her phone. "Lucky."

"Yeah, he’s not the son of Shaw Taylor, the chairman o f Taylor Group. He was adopted by Shaw, but he became the heir of Taylor Group. Don't you think that he's lucky?" Smith chuckled.

Yvonne was stunned. ”H-he was adopted by Shaw Taylor?"

"You don’t know?" Smith was surprised.

Yvonne shook her head. "I don't know. Even my husband doesn’t know about this. Well... I should say that the whole upper class of Vancouver City doesn't seem to know." "It seems that Shaw Taylor didn't announce it to the public," Smith explained.

Yvonne looked at him. "But how do you know about it?"

"The Smith family is distant relative to the Taylor family. About 20 years ago, Shaw had an accident and he couldn't have a child since then. But one day, he suddenly brought a child back and that child was Elliot,” Smith replied.

Yvonne nodded suddenly. "I see."

While talking, Elliot's staff came up.

After Yvonne briefed them, she left the hotel with Smith.

Smith sent her to the nearest subway station and drove away.

Yvonne watched the car drive away. Only then did she lift her foot on the escalator in the subway station, ready to go back to the villa.

Two hours later, she was back at the villa. This belongs to .

Yvonne stood outside the villa. She was afraid to enter. 1

In the end, Sue came out to find her and pulled her in.

Henry sat on the sofa in the living room and he saw Yvonne come in with her head lowered. He pursed his thin lips slightly. "Have you figured everything out?"

His voice was still cold.

Sue couldn't help but stare at him. "Sir, have you

forgotten what the master said to you?"

Henry ignored Sue's reminder and he continued to stare at Yvonne coldly.

Yvonne looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head again. "Yes, I've figured it out. It was Lynette who did it, but she was instructed by someone." "Who?" Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously.
