CHAPTER 484 FEMALE COMPANION

Of course it would be great if he was a friend. If he was an enemy, he must find a way to get those shares back.

Otherwise, the shares in the hands of the shareholder would give the Lancaster Group a fatal blow at any time.

After thinking about it, Henry pinched his eyebrows impatiently.

At this time, Joe's phone rang suddenly.

He glanced at Henry. After Henry nodded slightly, he took out his mobile phone and answered the call.

A few minutes later, the call ended.

Henry glanced at him. "Who was that?"

Joe answered truthfully, "It's from the auction house. They said that there will be an auction of cultural relics in three days and they're asking if Mr. Lancaster would be interested."

Henry was about to say that he wasn't interested, but h e suddenly thought of something. His eyes flashed." Who will be invited to this auction?"

Joe thought about it and said, "I heard that these cultural relics were finally obtained from abroad. Generally, the lower middle class can't afford to get them. Those who are invited are the big shots, so the prestigious people in Vancouver should've been invited."

Henry tapped his fingers gently on the tabletop. “So, Shannon will attend too?"

"Huh?" Joe was dumbfounded, wondering why he mentioned Shannon out of sudden.

Joe asked tentatively, "Mr. Lancaster, will you go only i f Miss Smith is going?”

Henry didn't hide anything and generously admitted his thoughts.

Joe swallowed his saliva in disbelief. "Mr. Lancaster, you and Miss Smith..."

Henry frowned. "What?"

Joe gritted his teeth. "Do you like Miss Smith?"

Henry's expression showed that he was slightly stunned. The next moment, his eyes flashed and he returned to his senses. "No, I just want to confirm if she’s Yvonne."

"Really?" Joe didn’t believe it. "If you want to confirm whether she’s Yvonne or not, you can just wait until I get her information abroad. Is it necessary for you to confirm it yourself?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Alright!" Henry interrupted him impatiently. "You should find out if she'll attend the auction on that day."

"Okay!" Joe responded, and then picked up the mobile phone again to make a call to Yvonne's assistant.

In the car, when Lisa told Yvonne that the call was from Joe, Yvonne frowned slightly. "He won't take the initiative to make the call. It must be Henry who asked him to do it. Pick up the call and ask what's the matter."

"Okay." Lisa nodded her head slightly and answered the phone.

After a while, she put down her phone. "Joe is asking i f you'll be going to the auction in three days' time?"

"Auction?" Yvonne was a little confused. "What auction?"

Lisa replied, "It’s an auction for cultural relics.”

Specifically, she didn't know much.

"Cultural relics auction?" Yvonne touched her chin and pondered for a moment, then she suddenly remembered. "My brother mentioned that someone had seized a batch of domestic cultural relics from the foreign antique dealers. Is that the one?"

"Yes."

"I see. I didn't expect them to be auctioned in Vancouver, but why is Henry asking me about this?" Yvonne lowered her eyelids and her heart was full of conspiracy theories.

Lisa shook her head. "I’m not sure. Mr. Woods didn't say much. He was just asking if you’ll attend on that day. Miss Smith, will you be going?"

"Sure. Of course, I’ll go!" Yvonne narrowed her eyes." Since he asked, I should go then. I'd like to find out what Henry wants to do."

"Okay, I'll reply right away," Lisa smiled, nodded, and replied to Joe.

They arrived at the company ten minutes later.

As soon as Yvonne got out of the car, the front desk handed her an invitation card. When she opened it, it was an invitation to the auction.

It seemed that she had to go now!

The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched. She closed the invitation card, handed it to Lisa behind her, and walked to the elevator.

Soon, three days passed.

Yvonne attended the auction in a long black dress.

There were a lot of people on the scene. Looking at it, they were all the nobles in Vancouver.

"Miss Smith!" A deep male voice sounded behind her. 1

Yvonne turned around slowly and said hello with a smile, "Mr. Lancaster."

Henry asked, "Have you been here for a long time, Miss Smith?"

Yvonne waved her hand. "Nope, I just arrived.”

"Well then, can I invite Miss Smith to be my companion?" Henry stared at her with deep eyes.

Yvonne was surprised by what he said, then covered her lips and laughed, "Mr. Lancaster, your statement is really amazing. I don't mind, but I heard that Mr. Lancaster’s wife seems to be someone who's not easy t o get along with. In the past, she drove away any woman who was close to Mr. Lancaster. If I accompany you and this gets to your wife...”

"Don't worry about her!" Henry pursed his thin lips and his tone was unpleasant.

Yvonne's eyes flickered. "Based on Mr. Lancaster’s tone, it seems that your relationship with your wife isn't very good?"

Henry looked down. "There are some special reasons."

"Oh? Do I have the honor to know why?" Yvonne looked at him.

Henry didn’t answer.

Yvonne shrugged her shoulders. "Well, it seems that I don't have this honor, but I will accept your invitation, Mr. Lancaster. However, I have a request."

She looked at him playfully and smiled.

Henry frowned. "What request?"

"My request is simple.” Yvonne stepped forward, tiptoed close to him, and said in a charming voice, "If Mrs. Lancaster finds out about our relationship and misunderstands, you must come forward and explain i t for me. Otherwise, I'll be labeled as the other woman and I won't comply with this!"

After that, she stretched out her finger and drew two circles on the man's chest. The action was very ambiguous and showed a provocative meaning.

Henry frowned more tightly and subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but he didn't know why he couldn't do so and stood in the same spot.

More than that, the woman was obviously teasing him. He should be disgusted, but he wasn't.

Not only was he not disgusted, but he felt a little happy inside, especially the smell of her perfume on her body and the heat she exhaled when she spoke. It made his body hot.

He had a reaction!

Realizing this, Henry's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

He had a reaction to a woman who looked like Yvonne and only met her two or three times!

This was ridiculous! i

Thinking of this, Henry's face was sullen and he took a strong step backward, distancing himself from Yvonne.

Yvonne realized his strangeness, and a trace of doubt flashed through her eyes. "What's the matter with you, Mr. Lancaster?"

Henry didn't look at her and replied angrily, "It’s

nothing!"

He now regretted that he came to confirm her identity personally and provoked her just now.

"Are you sure you're fine? But I don’t think you look very well!" Yvonne calmly put her hand down and looked at Henry's cold face.

Henry took a breath. After barely suppressing his inner emotions, he said quietly, "I'm fine!"

"Well, good that you’re fine then." Yvonne nodded slightly as if she had believed it, and stopped asking.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to his forehead, and calmed himself down completely. Then, he put down his hand. "The auction is about to begin. Let's go."

"Now?” Yvonne stood still and looked at him with a smile. "Mr. Lancaster, you haven’t agreed to my

request earlier. What if your wife approaches me and accuses me as the other woman?"
