CHAPTER 446 DISFIGURED

The pain was excruciating!

She escaped the last time, but she could not this time. Was she destined to go through this tragedy?

No, she refused to believe this tragedy was meant to happen, but she resented it!

She had never felt more resentment like she did at this moment!

She resented Jacqueline's viciousness that had led her to death again and again.

But she resented herself even more. She hated that after all her sufferings, her heart was still not cold enough. She hated the fact that she insisted on using only legal means to get revenge against the father and daughter. She was wrong. She was truly wrong.

She swore that if she lived, she wouldn't go easy on anyone again, nor would she use those so- called legal means to avenge two atrocious scumbags. This was because the sentences for their crimes were never going to be enough. She must retaliate in her own way so that she could let them feel what she was feeling right now and more!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Bang!

There was a loud noise.

The door was kicked open and a tall figure immediately rushed in. "Yvonne? Are you here?"

Yvonne couldn't speak anymore and all she could do was grunt.

But this was enough because it attracted the person's attention.

The person turned his head to the right, and when he saw the figure struggling in the fire, his pupils shrank and his face changed completely. He quickly took off his coat and rushed over. He didn't even care if he was engulfed by the fire—he immediately went to give Yvonne the coat to put out the fire.

After putting out the fire, Yvonne passed out completely, but her body still trembled involuntarily.

Sam looked at her bloody face and arms that had been burned by the fire and his heart wrenched. He wasted no time as he quickly picked her up and rushed out of the fire.

An hour later, Yvonne was sent to the emergency room.

Sam stood in the corridor of the emergency room with a gloomy expression on his face.

For a man with such a gentle personality to show such an expression, it was obvious how angry he was a t the moment.

He raised his head and glanced at the emergency room with a red light. He took his cell phone out and

made a call.

"Hello?" The call was quickly connected, and Henry's cold voice could be heard.

Sam narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Lancaster, has Jacqueline gone back?"

"Jacqueline?" Henry raised his eyebrows and glanced at the phone to confirm that it was Sam who was calling. He was surprised. "Why are you suddenly asking about her? You don’t know her, right?"

Sam snorted coldly, "I don't, but I’ve heard of her behavior. I heard that she was once Mr. Lancaster's girlfriend?"

Henry frowned as he wondered if he was overthinking because he had a feeling that Sam was angry at him.

"That was in the past," Henry replied without denying or admitting it.

Sam said coldly, "Since it's all in the past, why are you still around your ex-girlfriend? I heard that you took your ex-girlfriend to the villa today. Are you not afraid that your wife won’t find peace in heaven?"

"Huh?" Henry kept his cold, thin lips pursed. "Mr. Smith, has the Smith family gone bankrupt? Why do you have time to meddle in my past affairs? Besides, m y wife isn’t dead!" 1

"Hah, well even if she isn’t, I don’t see you putting any effort in searching for her either. You didn't even investigate why your wife stayed in that industrial area. If you truly care, I don't believe you can't find her. In my honest opinion, you really don't deserve to b e her husband!" Sam vented his anger and hung up the phone. 1

His assistant beside him asked in confusion, "Mr. Smith, why didn't you tell Mr. Lancaster about Ms. Frey's injury?"

Sam replied calmly, "What's the use of telling him? So that he can pick Yvonne up and let that woman named Jacqueline continue torturing her?"

"You're right." The assistant nodded.

He was hired by Mr. Smith not too long ago, so he didn't know about the details of Ms. Frey's injury. He only heard from Mr. Smith that it was done by the woman named Jacqueline.

Before Ms. Frey entered the emergency room, he saw her injuries and it really scared him. They were horrible. He could hardly see her face and it was disfigured.

As he thought about this, the assistant couldn't help but sympathize with Yvonne. "Mr. Smith, why didn't you call the police to arrest Jacqueline? She deliberately set Ms. Frey on fire and that's a crime of intentionally causing bodily harm."

"There’s no evidence!" Sam rubbed his temples." There's not enough evidence to prove that she did it. Even if she gets arrested, the police will still release her for the time being due to insufficient evidence."

"Then doesn’t that make Ms. Frey’s injury in vain?" The assistant thought that was unfair.

Sam closed his eyes and didn’t answer.

On the other side of the phone, Henry looked at his phone and he looked moody.

But anyone who got such an inexplicable call would b e in a bad mood.

"Joe!" Henry threw his notebook and picked up the phone to call Joe in.

Joe was in the office next door, so arrived at Henry's office within a minute.

"Mr. Lancaster, how can I help you?"

"Go find out the relationship between Sam Smith and Jacqueline," Henry ordered.

He called out of the blue to ask if Jacqueline had come back. There had to be a problem.

"Mr. Smith and Jacqueline?" Joe was stunned. Since when were they related in any way at all?

Henry looked at Joe who was in a daze. He frowned and added, "What are you doing? Get going already!"

"Ah, yes!" After Joe was reprimanded, he quickly snapped out of his daze and went out to do what Henry instructed.

After he left, Henry took out his cell phone again and called Sue.

Sue's tired voice sounded from the other end of the call, "Why did you call, sir?"

"What's wrong with you?" Henry asked.

Sue complained, "It's Jacqueline. She made me clean u p the room for her, and I'm exhausted."

Henry then asked, "Where is she?"

"Who knows?" Sue pouted.

Henry's pupils trembled slightly. "She’s not at the villa?"

"No. She asked me to clean up the room for her, and by the time I was done, she was gone," Sue answered.

Henry squeezed the phone tightly. 1

She really was not there. Content © 2024.

No wonder Sam asked if Jacqueline was back!

"Sue, keep your eyes on her. If Jacqueline returns to the villa, watch her and I'll be right back!" Henry cut off the phone and got up to leave the office.

He drove all the way to the villa. He sped all the way there and the usual one-hour drive only took half an hour.

However, when he returned to the villa, Sue told her that Jacqueline hadn't returned yet.

Henry's face darkened, and his icy aura could be felt i n the air. It was as if the entire living room had gone cold.

Sue placed a glass of water in front of him and rubbed her arms. "Sir, why on earth did you bring Jacqueline here? Do you really plan to let her live here?"

Henry was non-committal as he replied, "I need her kidney."

That was the agreement he had reached with Jacqueline yesterday.

Jacqueline would give him her kidney under the condition of living here and giving birth to her child.

He actually agreed to it because of her kidney.

"Kidney?" Sue heard this again and her heart trembled. "Sir, why would you need a kidney when you're healthy? Could it be that you..."

Sue was not done speaking yet, but they could hear the sound of the door opening in the hallway.

Henry winked at Sue and motioned her not to speak.

Sue nodded and closed her mouth as she looked at the entrance with Henry.

Jacqueline changed her shoes and hurried in with her bag on her back. When she saw the man sitting on the sofa, she was startled and she panicked. "Henry, you're back?"
