CHAPTER 501 ACCIDENT OR MAN-MADE?

Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly. Henry's words didn't make her feel touched. On the contrary, she thought it was ridiculous.

He always said to protect her.

But in fact, did he do it?

He wasn’t there six years ago when Dominic Conrad kidnapped her and when she had a miscarriage due to bone marrow surgery. When Shaw Taylor kidnapped her again and again, he wasn't there either. When Jacqueline pushed her out of the car, he still wasn't there. When she managed to escape from death and went back to find him, he wasn't there as well. 4

In short, every time she needed him, he would never b e there!

So she wouldn't believe him anymore! 1

Even if he did protect her now, she wouldn't feel touched at all. She would only feel angry and sad.

Because she was now Shannon Smith, not Yvonne Frey!

As Shannon, she should just be an ordinary business partner with Henry, right?

He could tell his ordinary business partner that he would protect her, but he wasn't around when his wife had been hurt many times in the past. What was there

to look forward to from such a man!

Henry didn’t know what Yvonne was thinking at the moment. He looked at her and she lowered her head with her whole body that exuded a gloomy aura. He thought that the shaky elevator frightened her, so he couldn't help but lean forward to hold her tightly.

His action made the distance between the two people closer, so close that their bodies were almost touching each other.

They could smell each other’s breath with that distance in between them.

When Joe who was in the other corner saw them like this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he felt embarrassed.

Although he knew that Mr. Lancaster held Miss Smith in between him and the wall to protect her, their posture was really misleading.

Finally, the elevator stabilized on the third floor and stopped shaking.

Joe directly pressed the elevator button to be sure.

The elevator stopped and the door opened.

Joe was relieved. He was afraid that the elevator door wouldn't open and they would be trapped in it. 1

Joe said to Henry, "Mr. Lancaster, let’s go out first.”

Henry hummed and he released his hand that was holding the elevator wall. He took a step back and let g

o of Yvonne. "Miss Smith, it’s all good now!"

Yvonne raised her head. "It's fine now?"

"Yes," Henry responded, "the elevator has stopped."

Yvonne gently patted her chest, revealing a smile after surviving the tragedy. "That’s great! I was scared to death just now."

"I'm sorry that Miss Smith was frightened. It’s our group's fault and I'll take responsibility for it. Besides, I was impolite just now. Please..."

Before the conversation ended, Yvonne waved her hand to interrupt him. "It's alright, I should thank Mr. Lancaster for saving me or I’ll be thrown to the door. How can I blame Mr. Lancaster for your impoliteness?"

Henry nodded faintly. "As long as you don't blame me. By the way, are you not injured, Miss Smith?" He asked.

Yvonne looked down at her red and swollen left ankle, looking a little embarrassed. "I twisted my foot. When the elevator was shaking, my heels were too high to stand stably, so I twisted it."

Upon hearing this, Henry looked down as well. He saw her white ankle swollen like a bun. He frowned. “Can you walk?"

Yvonne tried and shook her head with a pale face. "I'm afraid not."

Henry pursed his lips and pondered for a second. Suddenly, he stepped forward and apologized for

being rude. Then, he carried her.

Yvonne yelped and subconsciously put her arms around his neck. "Mr. Lancaster, you..."

"Let me carry you out,” Henry said while carrying her out of the elevator.

Yvonne nested in his arms obediently. Her hair covered her face and concealed her expression.

After six years, Yvonne once again was being held in his arms. Yvonne didn't feel an emotional throb at all other than surprise.

Even though his embrace was still as warm as ever, when she thought of him holding Jacqueline in his arms in the past six years, she just felt sick.

She would never stay in his arms if it hadn’t been for the current situation.

"Mr. Lancaster, I just..." Joe came over with a mobile phone and wanted to report something, but when he saw Henry coming out of the elevator with Yvonne in his arms, he was stunned and even forgot what he had to say.

What was going on?

Why did Mr. Lancaster have Miss Smith in his arms?

Could it be that they didn’t have a good time in the elevator, so he continued to hold her when he came out? 1

Maybe Joe’s mind was too straightforward that Henry read his mind. He frowned disgustedly. "What happened earlier? Just say it!"

Joe came to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and no longer thought about it. He quickly replied, “I just contacted the maintenance department and they immediately sent someone to check on the elevator."

Henry gently raised his chin to indicate that he knew i t, and then said, "You should stay here to wait for the maintenance department to come and check. Then, report to me immediately after finding out the cause. I'd like to see if it’s an accident or man-made!"

"Mr. Lancaster suspects that the elevator accident was man-made?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes when she heard this and she couldn't help interrupting.

Henry nodded. "This elevator is especially for me, only I can take it. If someone really wants my life, the easiest way is to create an elevator accident."

"That's true," Yvonne answered thoughtfully.

If this accident was really man-made, it was possible that it came for Henry's life.

After all, this elevator was especially for him, only he could take it.

If someone really did something to the elevator to make it fall or derail, even the immortals couldn't escape. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Joe obviously thought of this too and he looked very serious. "Don’t worry, Mr. Lancaster. I’ll figure it out."

Henry nodded, no longer said anything, and carried Yvonne in her arms to the ordinary elevator.

Many employees were waiting for the elevator in the elevator hall. When they saw Henry carrying a woman, they opened their eyes and mouth in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes.

What was going on?

Why did Mr. Lancaster come to the employee’s elevator hall?

And who was the woman in Mr. Lancaster's arms?

For a moment, the employees raised a lot of questions i n their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask or look at them openly. They could only look at them secretly.

The employees were relieved when the elevator arrived and Henry carried Yvonne in. After the door closed, they couldn’t hold themselves anymore and started talking about what they had just seen.

Some courageous employees even sent it to the group and told others.

So it didn't take long for the entire group to learn about Henry carrying a woman in the employee's elevator.

In the chairman secretary group, a secretary that Jacqueline bribed saw the news in the group and quickly took a screenshot to tell Jacqueline.

Jacqueline gritted her teeth when she saw it.

Of course, she wouldn’t doubt that the information from her secretary was false.

Because she bribed this secretary three years ago to monitor the female employees who had interests in Henry.

So for the past three years, she had eliminated many female employees, but the news from the secretary made her sense of crisis explode.

She probably knew who the woman Henry was carrying. She must be Shannon!

Shannon, that b*tch was the only one who would rely o n a face that looked like Yvonne's to make Henry so interested and make some surprising moves.

Thinking of this, Jacqueline couldn’t help but open the car door and walk to the group entrance angrily.
