CHAPTER 447 THE SERVANT'S ROOM

Henry looked at the woman with his cold eyes. "Where have you been?"

"I-I went out for a walk," Jacqueline replied reluctantly with a smile.

A hint of mockery flashed in Henry's eyes.

Was this woman treating him like a fool? Content © 2024.

"Didn't I tell you that you can live here, but you're not allowed to take a step outside? Are you turning a deaf ear to me?" Henry stood up and walked up to Jacqueline.

Jacqueline took a step back. "No, no. I remember. I just went out to do something, so..."

"What's that smell on you?" Henry interrupted her. He smelled an unusual smell when he approached her.

Jacqueline heard what he said. She raised her arm and sniffed it. "I don't smell anything?"

"Sir, she’s lying. She smells like gasoline!" Sue said when she came over and sniffed at Jacqueline.

Henry's eyes flickered. "Gasoline? Why do you have this smell on your body? What have you done?"

Jacqueline didn't expect that she still smelled of gasoline and she was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

But in order to not reveal anything, she quickly adjusted her expression and emotions. She waved her hand and said, "Didn't I just say? I went out for a stroll and then the car ran out of gas. I went to the gas station to refuel. I think that's what got on my body at that time."

“Oh, I never heard that you can smell of gasoline when you refuel at a gas station. Did you refuel it by yourself?” Sue said sarcastically.

Jacqueline was angry.

This old lady was deliberately targeting her, right?

Wait for it. She would teach this old lady a lesson sooner or later!

She swore secretly in her heart, but Jacqueline answered softly and weakly, "No, but I was in contact with the staff at the gas station. They reeked of gasoline."

"You mean they passed the smell onto you?" Sue rolled her eyes.

Jacqueline's expression was distorted for a moment and she wanted to hit the old lady.

"Alright, put the gasoline matter aside," Henry interrupted the quarrel between the old and the young. He stared at Jacqueline with his deep eyes as i f he could see through Jacqueline. "How do you know Sam?" "Sam?" Jacqueline frowned suspiciously. "Henry,

who's Sam?"

The name was familiar.

"You don't know?"

"I don't know!" Jacqueline shook her head.

Henry raised his eyebrows slightly and looked deeply into her eyes as if he was determining whether she really didn't know him or if she was lying.

But in the end, it seemed to be the former.

She really didn't know him!

"Just forget it if you don't know," Henry lowered his eyes and said faintly.

Since this woman didn't know Sam, he had nothing else to ask her.

If he wanted to know how Sam met Jacqueline and what kind of relationship Sam had with Jacqueline, h e would have to look at the results of Joe's investigation.

"Where's her room?" Henry asked Sue when turned around, not paying attention to Jacqueline.

Sue pointed upstairs. "It's next to your and madam's room."

It was there!

Henry frowned unhappily with a displeased expression. "She's not allowed to stay there. That's not where she lives.”

That room was reserved for Yvonne and his child.

Upon hearing this, Sue’s eyes brightened and she was very happy. "I'll go clean up and move her to another room.”

"Yeah." Henry nodded. "Let her stay on the first floor."

Sue was happier now. "Okay, the first floor’s good. She should live on the first floor."

The first floor had a servant's room, which wasn't as good as hers. Sue's room was on the same floor as the guest rooms on the second floor, which was much bigger than the servant's room.

Sue was very excited with the thought of it that she ran upstairs. With that speed, she didn't look like an old lady.

Jacqueline felt very uncomfortable when she heard Henry easily drive her out of the room she wanted to live in and arranged for her to stay in a servant’s room. However, she didn't dare to say anything.

She knew that her current position in his heart was n o longer the same as before where he would obey her every word.

She couldn’t provoke him, especially during this critical time period. So even if she wasn’t happy about staying in a servant's room, she could only silently endure all the insults. In the future when she took him down, she could live anywhere she wanted.

With this, Jacqueline lowered her head and went to the servant’s room.

At this time, Joe came in from the outside with a document.

"Mr. Lancaster.”

"Got it?” Henry returned to the sofa and sat down.

Joe nodded. "I've found out that Mr. Smith has nothing to do with Jacqueline. They don’t know each other, but they should've heard of each other. The Sam that Jacqueline heard of is the heir of the Smith family from overseas, and the Jacqueline that Sam heard of is full of negativity.”

"There are no helpful findings.” Henry was obviously not satisfied with the results.

He wanted to know why Sam mentioned Jacqueline out of the blue that he had to specifically call for this.

Joe touched his nose. "Sorry, this is what I've got and the information was accurate."

"Alright, put this aside for now. What's that document i n your hand?" Henry asked while looking at the documents he brought over.

Joe handed over the document with both hands. "This is about the explosion. The investigation results are out. Shaw Taylor was the one who arranged for the bomb. He bought it overseas illegally and smuggled it i n with a fishing boat.”

"Fishing boat?" Henry sneered, "It cost him a lot of effort then."

"It's a pity that it's a bad move," Joe sighed, "he installed the bomb and probably wanted to kill all of u s, but he didn't have the ability to predict the future. H e didn't know how long it would last and it only lasted for a while. He then put his wife and Jacqueline on the elevator and let Mr. Lancaster choose to delay the time. Unfortunately...”

"Unfortunately, he didn’t expect that we'd arrange a sniper to kill him ahead of time," Henry said coldly when he closed the document and threw it aside.

Joe nodded. "Yes, but the bomb exploded when we were about to leave. We luckily left in time, but madam"

Speaking of this, Joe suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly closed his mouth and looked at Henry's expression.

Seeing Henry’s cold expression, he shuddered and wanted to slap himself deep down in his heart.

Oh, God. Why did he say something that shouldn't be mentioned?

Madam was now a taboo and he blurted it out still.

"That... Mr. Lancaster, there’s another strange matter." Joe quickly changed the subject.

Henry raised his eyes to look at him. "What's the matter?"

"It's about Mr. Smith. He was supposed to return to his country today and the ticket that he booked was in the afternoon, but I don't know why he canceled the ticket before he went to the airport. In addition, Sue said that she met Mr. Smith today near our villa. Mr. Smith purposely got out of the car and greeted Sue, saying that there was a surprise at home," Joe replied.

"Surprise?" Henry was only interested in that word. " What’s the surprise?"

Joe said, "I asked Sue, but she said that she didn't see any surprise. Then, Sue went out to look for Mr. Smith. After hearing that there wasn't any surprise, Mr. Smith's face changed and he drove away immediately."

"Is that so?" Henry lowered his eyelids and asked, " Where's Sam now?"

He felt that it was necessary for him to meet Sam.

"I don't know. When you asked me to find out the relationship between Mr. Smith and Jacqueline, I searched for Mr. Smith’s current location too, but I couldn't find it. It seems that he has erased his whereabouts on purpose," Joe said. 1

Henry snorted, "That's quite mysterious."

It seemed that the surprise that Sam mentioned wasn't that simple. What was it?
