CHAPTER 431 JACQUELINE IS PREGNANT TOO

Hopefully this time, Jacqueline and the driver will be honest and clear the air during Joe’s visit there.

Otherwise, his method would definitely be worse than mental torture and breaking a leg.

Upon thinking of this, Henry sighed wearily. Then, he used his hand to hammer his head which was about t o explode in pain and went downstairs.

In the living room downstairs, Sue was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She didn't notice when Henry walked u p to her.

In the end, Henry called her and she regained consciousness.

Sue used the hem of her apron to wipe the corner of her eyes and asked swiftly, "Sir, when did you come down?"

Henry held on to the armrest of the sofa as he sat down. "I just got down."

Sue noticed his face was pale and he looked unusual.

She felt nervous. "Sir, are you alright?"

Madam went missing and it was uncertain if she was still alive.

She really didn't want anything to happen to sir.

"I'm fine, just having a headache. Is there any

medicine?” Henry asked with his eyes slightly closed.

Sue nodded repeatedly. "Yes, we have medicine for headaches. Let me get them now."

After that, she hurried to the kitchen and took out a medical kit.

There were many medicines in the medical kit. Sue rummaged around and found the medicine for headaches.

She handed two pills to Henry.

Henry took it and glanced at it twice. Then, he popped them into his mouth and swallowed without drinking water.

After taking the medicine, he leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and waited for the effect to kick in.

Half an hour later, Henry’s frowning eyebrows gradually loosened up.

Upon seeing this, Sue poured a glass of warm water and walked over. "Sir, are you feeling better?"

Henry took a few sips of the warm water. "It's not as painful as before."

"That's good.” Sue nodded but she was still worried about him and said thoughtfully, "You were fine before this and the headache seems serious. Sir, should I ask Dr. Summers to come over and have a look?” "That's fine.” Henry waved his hand and refused.

"But...”

Just when Sue wanted to continue, Joe returned. “Mr. Lancaster, the driver has already been taken care ok."

He understated it as if breaking a person’s leg was just a trivial matter.

But it was indeed a trivial matter for Henry and Joe.

They just broke his leg and didn’t kill anyone.

Furthermore, their revenge was reasonable.

“Is Jacqueline scared?" Henry didn't ask about the driver. Instead, he asked about Jacqueline first.

Joe tilted his glasses. "Jacqueline is terribly scared and her stomach hurts. Mr. Lancaster, do we need to send a doctor over?”

Henry twitched the corner of his mouth coldly." There's no need to."

"But what if she has a miscarriage?" Joe looked at him.

Henry narrowed his eyes. "That’s her problem."

Joe shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing he could say since the boss already said so.

"Did they come clean this time?" Henry picked up the glass that he put down earlier and drank some water.

Joe pursed his lower lip in shame, "It’s still the same answer. Even when I asked someone to break the driver’s leg which terrified Jacqueline and that she might have a miscarriage, they still claimed that madam got out of the car by herself. So, Mr. Lancaster, I'm thinking maybe they didn't lie. Perhaps madam did get out of the car herself?”

"That's absolutely impossible!” Henry denied it.

He never believed Yvonne would do this.

"Well, Mr. Lancaster, what should we do next? We’ve interrogated them twice and the answer is still the same. Even if we interrogate them a third time, they will probably still give the same answer," Joe asked Henry for instructions.

Henry groaned for a few seconds, "Lock the driver up and don't feed him any food. As for Jacqueline, bring her to see Dominic first."

"Dominic Conrad?” Joe didn’t quite understand the reason.

Henry opened his thin lips and uttered two words," Transferring assets!”

He investigated and found that Dominic had transferred half of his assets to Jacqueline.

There was only one purpose for the father and daughter to meet up. It was to get them to sign the asset transfer agreement and transfer all of the assets to Yvonne, which Dominic had promised.

Dominic was the one who claimed that as long as he saved Jacqueline, he agreed to transfer part of his assets to Yvonne. Now that Jacqueline was saved, he had to fulfill his promise and sign the agreement first.

Then, Yvonne would sign it once she was found. The agreement would be effective immediately then.

Joe left again. Henry didn't stay in the living room for too long and went upstairs after a while.

The headache medicine that he took contained hypnotic ingredients. The effect was fully exerted at this time. Although his head no longer hurt, he was very groggy. His limbs began to weaken and he had no energy.

As he walked to the bed, he tripped by the bed foot. The tall figure of him just fell on the bed, unable to move, and he fell asleep.

Soon after he passed out, the phone that he threw on the bed suddenly lightened up and the sweet ringtone rang.

But it rang for a long time and didn’t wake Henry up. Then the caller hung up.

"What’s the matter?" Yvonne looked over subtly when she saw Sam take the phone off his ear. "He didn't answer?"

"It seems so."

Sam spread his hands at her regretfully.

Yvonne forced a smile, "I see. Leave it then. Let’s wait for another time."

She just couldn’t hold back and wanted to hear Henry’s voice. So she begged Sam to call Henry to talk about the cooperation to fulfill her wish.

It turned out that no one answered the call.

"Perhaps Mr. Lancaster is asleep since it's so late." Sam tapped on his watch.

Yvonne looked out the window and sounded distant." Maybe..."

"You should rest early. I need you to do me a favor tomorrow," Sam put the phone away accompanied with a smile.

Yvonne turned her head. “A favor? What is it about?"

"You'll know tomorrow. Goodnight." Sam didn't tell her about the favor and walked to the door.

Although Yvonne was curious, she didn't stop him to ask further. Seeing that the door was closed, she yawned, then lied down on the pillow and closed her eyes to sleep.

It was nine in the morning when Yvonne woke up the next day.

She felt so much better after resting for a night. She could finally get off the bed and washed up in the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, the servant had already served breakfast.

Yvonne felt uncomfortable with such a careful and thoughtful gesture, but she accepted it still.

"Where's Mr. Smith?" Yvonne took a sip of the milk and asked suddenly.

She remembered that Sam asked for her help last night, saying that he would tell her today. She didn't know what it was about.

But no matter what he was doing, she couldn’t break the promise this time. She must help him.

Otherwise, she would despise herself. Content © 2024.

"Mr. Smith's in the study room, he's having a video call with the old lady. If Miss Frey is looking for Mr. Smith, I’ll go and get him," the servant said and was about to get Sam for her.

Upon seeing this, Yvonne hurriedly stopped. "That’s fine since he's chatting with his family. I don't want to disturb him.”

"Disturb?” Sam's voice came from outside the door as soon as she spoke.
