CHAPTER 522 COMING TO YOUR PLACE

"No one's dead!" Henry slowly spat out those three words.

Joe touched his chin. "That’s true. This sentence wouldn't exist if that person died, but this also shows that Jacqueline did commit murder and the person she tried to kill was lucky enough to survive."

Henry raised his chin noncommittally.

Sue, who stood beside them, got goosebumps.

At this time, Joe asked again, "The person who sent the courier should be back to seek revenge on Jacqueline. I can understand why the other party sent this threatening courier to Jacqueline, but I don’t understand why the other party sent a dead mouse over. Furthermore, it was burned."

Henry pressed his thin lips tightly and remained silent.

He thought about this too. A memory even flashed through his mind, but it was too fast that he didn't catch it.

Henry closed the box and asked Sue, "Which courier company delivered this?"

Sue shook her head. "I don't know, the delivery person wasn't wearing a company uniform. He only said that he was from the courier company, but he didn't say which company it was. I didn't think much about it at that time. After all, many delivery guys don't wear uniforms now."

Joe picked up the express package and said, "There's n o address on it, let alone the courier company name."

Henry looked down. "That person isn't a courier.”

Joe agreed, "I think so too. Who should it be then?"

Afterward, he thought of something and asked, "Mr. Lancaster, would you like me to check the surveillance of the villa area?"

Henry put down the red box in his hand. "No, since the other party didn’t cover his face during the delivery, it shows that he’s very confident that we won't be able t o find him even after checking the surveillance, so there's no need to do anything else."

Joe scratched his head. "You're right."

Henry sat down and said, "Don't worry about this."

"Huh?" Joe was dumbfounded. "Just let it be?”

Henry said coldly, "Let it be. It’s Jacqueline's fault. Let her deal with it. If she really did murder someone, then she should bear the responsibility."

Joe pondered for a while. "But I’m worried that the other party will take revenge on Mr. Lancaster because you're her husband.”

"It depends on whether that person has the ability to d o so," Henry said lightly, obviously not taking his

worry in mind.

Seeing this, Joe touched his nose tip and stopped talking. 1

Henry pointed to the red box he had just put on the coffee table. "Take care of this thing."

"Okay," Joe responded and took the box out of the villa.

Henry looked at Sue. "Sue, you have to be extra careful next time. If there's any other similar express delivery, reject it directly."

Although he didn't want to care about Jacqueline's affairs, he didn’t want these messy express deliveries t o leave a mess in the villa.

Sue nodded. "Yes."

At this time, Joe came back after handling the box.

Henry turned his attention to him. "You need to get someone to check whether Jacqueline has done anything wrong in the past few years besides tax evasion and homicide. If there's any, collect the evidence."

Joe raised his eyebrows. "Mr. Lancaster, do you want t o place righteousness before her?"

Henry crossed his legs and said, "It's the only thing I can do if she did other things that are unacceptable."

Joe asked, "What about Anna? You bailed Jacqueline out this time for Anna."

Henry lowered his eyes and said quietly, "Anna can have a mother who has made some minor mistakes, but not a vicious mother."

"I understand, I'll take my leave first."

Joe left the villa after that.

Henry pinched his eyebrows. "Where's Anna?"

Sue replied, "She was tired from playing in the afternoon and fell asleep. She hasn't woken up yet."

Henry nodded slightly. "Clean up the room for me."

Sue’s eyes brightened. "Are you staying here tonight, sir?"

"Yes." Content © 2024.

Sue was overjoyed. "Okay, I'll go now."

Henry hardly came back to the villa recently. She was really tired when she had to be alone with the mischievous and bitter Jacqueline.

Henry could share the responsibility when he was here.

Sue went upstairs and left Henry alone in the living room.

He picked up the teacup and sipped the tea lightly with a breath of loneliness that filled his body.

Yes, loneliness.

His heart had been empty for six years as if a piece of him had gone missing.

He felt so empty even when a few people were living i n this villa, but he just felt lonely.

He didn't know why he felt lonely before this. Now, he seemed to understand that the people who lived here were not the ones he wanted, so even if more people started living here, he would still feel lonely.

But if that person was who he wanted, no matter how big and empty the villa was, he would feel that it was full and warm.

However, where was the person he wanted?

Henry lowered his eyelids, and a face suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The face was a little fuzzy at first, but it became clearer after a while.

Was that Yvonne’s face?

Why did he suddenly think of Shannon?

Was Shannon the person he wanted?

"No way!" Henry subconsciously vetoed it, but his hand that was holding the teacup couldn’t help tightening, even his heart rate somewhat increased.

He suddenly realized that he had become a bit unlike himself since Shannon appeared.

As Joe said, he never bought anything for anyone, but he bought a bag for Shannon. Even when Shannon twisted her ankle, he could have asked Joe or the others to send the supplements over to her, but he

chose to send it himself at that time.

And in the elevator when he saw Shannon standing unsteadily and was about to be hit at any time, he would be very nervous and worried. He put her under his protection without even thinking about it.

Most importantly, he reacted to Shannon...

Was he really interested in Shannon?

How could it be? How long had it been? How many times had he seen her?

How could he...

While thinking about it, the mobile phone in his suit pocket rang, interrupting all the mess in his heart.

He pursed his lips, feeling both relieved and displeased at the arrival of the call.

He put down his teacup with a calm face, put his hand into his pocket, and took out his phone.

When he saw the caller ID on his phone screen, his pupils shrank slightly and he stood up.

Why her?

She called as soon as he thought of her. What was this? Two hearts beating as one?

These five words popped up in his mind for an instant. The corner of Henry's mouth twitched and he answered the phone.

He spoke first, "Hello."

Yvonne’s voice came through, "It's me."

Henry rubbed his thumb. "I know. What can I do for you?"

Yvonne replied with a smile, "It's nothing. I just want t o tell you something, Henry. I’ve bought some clothes for you. Should I send them over to you tomorrow?"

Henry lowered his eyes. "Tomorrow's the weekend."

"It doesn't matter even if it’s the weekend. Can't I come over to your place to see you?" Yvonne sneered softly on the other end of the phone while blowing her nails.

Henry was surprised.

Did she want to come over?

"Henry?" Yvonne didn't hear Henry's reply and couldn’t help calling him, "Why don’t you speak?"

Henry’s thin lips moved. "You want to see me at my villa?"

"Yeah, can't I?” Yvonne tilted her head.

Henry's eyes flickered. Right when he was about to say something, Yvonne said, "Don't you say no, it's inconvenient, and so on. I’m very curious about your residence, Henry. I have to come. You can’t refuse."

She wanted to visit Sue, so how could she allow him to refuse?

She also wanted to see how Jacqueline was when she received the dead mouse that she sent to her.
