CHAPTER 477 SHE'S SHANNON SMITH
"Frederick said that he knew you wouldn't let him go, and he said he'll stay with the condition that you’ll divorce Jacqueline." Sue conveyed Frederick's message to Henry.
Henry's eyelids drooped and he said, "We’ll talk about this later. I'll ask someone to try to persuade Frederick, and you can stay out of it."
"Okay." Sue nodded, but deep down, she was very disappointed.
She didn't expect that even after Frederick threatened Henry, he still refused to divorce Jacqueline.
She didn't understand it at all!
Although sir had lost all his memories of falling in love with his wife and even restored his feelings for Jacqueline, the way he treated Jacqueline for the past five years didn't seem like he loved her at all!
"I'll go to the study room to deal with some things. Please make me a pot of tea." Henry tugged on his necktie and walked upstairs.
Sue replied at the foot of the stairs and she couldn't help sighing.
Obviously, he had forgotten everything about falling in love with his wife, but he still kept his habit of drinking tea to refresh himself.
She didn't know what to say.
Henry had no idea what Sue was thinking about. He stood at the foot of the stairs on the third floor and glanced in the direction of the children's room before walking towards his study.
After entering the study, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
The phone quickly connected, and Joe yawned, "Mr. Lancaster, what's the matter?"
"Did I bother you?" Henry pulled a chair and sat down.
Joe quickly got up and shook his head. "No, no. I'm just a little sleepy."
Henry said, "There’s something I need you to do."
"Go on." Joe listened carefully.
Henry pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You made the reservation for the French restaurant tonight. I need you to ask the restaurant owner for a list of their customers tonight."
He had to find out who that woman was.
Otherwise, he wouldn't stop thinking about it.
"Customer list?" Joe was puzzled as he wondered what it was for.
"Yes, I'll give you half an hour. If you get the list, I’ll double your bonus this month." Henry gave him a sweet deal.
Joe's eyes immediately gleamed and he agreed without hesitation.
Half an hour later, Joe called, "Mr. Lancaster, I've already sent the list to your email. Remember to read i t." 1
"Okay." Henry nodded lightly and moved the phone away from his ear. He turned on the speaker and then left it on the table as he picked up the mouse and started going through his emails.
After a minute, he finally opened the email.
Henry scrolled the mouse to check the long list of names, trying to find the familiar name.
However, when he got to the bottom of the list, he didn't see the name, but Shane's name was on it.
Sure enough, Shane was at that restaurant.
So Shane might have also seen the woman who looked just like Yvonne.
As Henry thought about this, he hung up on Joe and called Shane instead. This was the first time he had called Shane in recent years.
At the hotel, Shane bid his farewell to Yvonne, and when he was about to leave, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
He took the phone out of his pocket while he was walking towards the door.
After taking out his phone, he looked at the screen as h
e usually would. 1
When he saw Henry’s name on the screen, he squeaked in surprise.
Yvonne heard him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shane stopped in his tracks and turned around as he showed her the phone. "Look who’s calling!"
"Henry?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes when she saw his name on the phone screen.
Shane took the phone back and said, "Yes, it's him. I didn't expect him to call me. This is the first time he’s called since our fall out."
"Then it seems like he must have a reason for it.
Please answer it." Yvonne folded her arms and stood beside him quietly.
When Shane saw that she had not left, he understood that she also wanted to hear what the call was about. He couldn't help but laugh, and he turned on the speaker.
"This is unusual. You actually called me," Shane said mockingly.
Henry's deep voice sounded, "Did you go to the French restaurant tonight?" 1
He asked even though he knew the answer.
Shane twisted his stiff neck. "Yes, what's the matter?" "Who did you go with?" Henry asked. This belongs to .
Yvonne pursed her lips.
Shane sighed and said, "Of course I went there with m y patient. Why are you asking about this?"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Henry's voice sounded again, "I was at the restaurant and I saw Yvonne.”
Yvonne's eyes immediately froze and she clenched her hands tightly.
Shane looked at her and asked cautiously, "Yvonne? You mean your ex-wife? But isn't she dead already? How can you see her?"
Henry closed his eyes and exclaimed, "I suspect that she might still be alive!"
The lenses on Shane's glasses reflected the light." What makes you think so? Also, where did you see her?"
"At the French restaurant! That woman looked very much like Yvonne and I suspect that it really is her, but..."
"But what?"
"She didn’t seem to know me!" Henry lowered his eyelids, making it difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.
If that woman was actually Yvonne, she might be pretending to not recognize him.
That made him feel uncomfortable and he didn't know why either.
"She didn't seem to know you?" Shane raised his eyebrows. "Maybe she really doesn't know you. It may be just a coincidence that the woman looked like your ex-wife. It's a big world and I'm sure there are people who look alike. As for the woman you saw today, I actually saw her too. She did look a lot like your ex-wife!"
"So you saw her too!" Henry's volume suddenly increased.
Shane pushed up his glasses. "I see. You called me specifically just to ask me if I saw the woman who looked like your ex-wife at the restaurant, right?"
Henry didn’t reply, implicitly indicating that he was right.
Yvonne winked at Shane.
Shane nodded and said, "I did see her. To be honest, I was also taken aback because she looked so much like your ex-wife. Because of that, I brazenly approached her to say hello but later I found out that she wasn't your ex-wife. She just really looked like her."
"So it wasn’t Yvonne..." Henry frowned deeply.
If it was not Yvonne, who would it be?
Shane looked at Yvonne and said, "Yes, she's the daughter of the Smith family who lives abroad. She's the CFO of the Smith Group's new branch in
Vancouver. She's excellent, so how could she be your e x-wife?"
Yvonne glared at him and pouted.
Well, it was true. She used to be mediocre and was nowhere close to being excellent.
"The daughter of the Smith family who lives abroad?" Henry squeezed his phone tightly.
How could she be from the Smith family?
"Yes, she's Shannon Smith, daughter of the Smith family. There should be some information on the internet, you can try searching," Shane said.
After Henry pondered for a few seconds, he hung up and started searching for information.
He entered the word "Shannon" in the entry and pressed 'Enter.' Soon, search results about Shannon popped up on the computer.
He clicked in, and the first thing he saw was a photo. The woman in the photo was wearing a formal suit with a faint smile on her face and coolness in her eyes, which gave the impression that she was a career woman with a strong personality.
Although he had forgotten almost everything about Yvonne, he still remembered how she looked when he married her.
Yvonne was weak and timid, definitely not like the strong woman in the photo.
So, the woman he saw was really not Yvonne?
