CHAPTER 530 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PAST

"Huh?" Yvonne looked at her.

Sue started breathing rapidly, "Six years ago, on December 5th, I came back from the hospital after taking care of the master. I met Mr. Smith in the villa. At that time, Mr. Smith greeted me and said something very strange. He said that there was a surprise waiting for me in the villa, but when I returned, I didn't see anything."

"December 5th..." Yvonne closed her eyes briefly, "It was that day. The surprise my brother was talking about was probably me."

"But I didn't see you at the villa!" Sue said hurriedly.

Yvonne lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I was there, but Jacqueline knocked me out. Before I lost consciousness, you were ringing the doorbell, Sue. I wanted to open the door for you, but then Jacqueline hit me from behind. If you didn't see me after you came in, she probably hid me somewhere."

"I see." Sue's body trembled angrily. "No wonder Jacqueline didn't open the door after I rang the doorbell for so long. She must've been hiding you somewhere at the time. When I came in, she asked me to clean up her room. I didn't think much about it, so I went upstairs. But when I was done cleaning and came back down, she was already gone."

"She distracted you so that she could get me out of the villa quietly. When I woke up, I found myself in an abandoned building with all its doors and windows locked. There was also gasoline all over the building."

"Gasoline? She tried to burn you?" Sue covered her lips in horror.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes. She said that the fire in the industrial area didn't burn me to death, so she was going to do it again. She then set the building on fire. Because of the gasoline, the fire quickly spread and I couldn't escape. I was engulfed by the fire. My face, hands, and body were severely burned. Just when I thought I was going to die, my brother showed up." 1

"My goodness..." Sue was gripped by apprehension when she heard that. It felt as if her soul almost left her body. copyrighted © content.

Even though Yvonne's tone was so indifferent when she said that, Sue could still describe how thrilling and terrifying the scene was with just a few words from Yvonne.

Madam must’ve suffered when she was caught in the fire.

"My brother rescued me and took me to a private hospital with a high level of confidentiality. They saved me, but the doctor also told me that I was disfigured and that it was impossible to recover with the local medical standards. He suggested that I try other treatments abroad, so I went abroad with my brother. When I was there, I was adopted by the Smith family and became Shannon."

Sue nodded as she listened. "I'm so thankful for Mr. Smith."

"Yes, if it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't be here today," Yvonne said with gratitude in her eyes.

Sue touched her face as she felt sorry for Yvonne." You made the right choice to go abroad, madam. You look beautiful now."

Yvonne smiled, "I got really lucky. Not only did I get lucky for surviving both fires, but just when I went abroad, it was when Dr. Peter's research had finally succeeded. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recovered so well. However, the scar on the back of my waist will require two more surgeries."

"It's okay, take your time," Sue comforted her.

Yvonne nodded.

Sue asked again, "Madam, since Mr. Smith rescued you, why didn't you contact us and tell us that you were still alive?"

"How could I do that? I can't even accept my own appearance, so how could I face the rest of you? Especially Henry. I was too afraid to see his disgusted look, and I was also afraid that you guys might look at me differently. So I thought that I should wait until I went abroad to find a doctor to treat me before telling you guys, but..."

"But what?" Sue squeezed her hand as she felt a little worried for some reason.

Yvonne's expression became cold. "But Henry suddenly announced that I had passed away and that he was going to marry Jacqueline."

"Sir was..."

"I know you were going to tell me about Henry's memory loss, but how dare he lose his memory? I've suffered and experienced getting kidnapped and beaten up because of him. I even experienced the pain of having my bone marrow extracted from me and losing my child. I also had two near- death experiences, and I ended up being completely disfigured. How could he forget me after all that and choose to marry Jacqueline?"

When Yvonne said this, her eyes turned red and the hatred in her eyes was even more obvious. "So from that moment on, I hated him. I suffered so much for him, but he forgot about me. His memory loss was like he had abandoned me. Since he’s abandoned me, there's nothing wrong with hating him."

Sue’s mouth moved and her throat was dry, but she could not speak, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

Because deep down, she knew that madam was right.

On many occasions, madam had always been the victim, and it was clear that Mr. Lancaster was responsible for all that.

So she couldn't bring herself to persuade madam otherwise, nor did she have the courage to.

Sue sighed as she thought of it. "Why did you come back now, madam?"

"For revenge!" Yvonne said coldly, "I'm back for revenge. I want to give Jacqueline the pain that she caused me, and I want her to feel twice my pain."

"What about Mr. Lancaster? You didn't tell him about your true identity, so there must be a reason, right?" Sue looked at her with deep seriousness.

Yvonne didn’t deny it either. She openly admitted, "Of course, I abandoned my identity as Yvonne Frey and put on a fagade as Shannon Smith to avenge him. I want him to fall in love with me again, so I can abandon and leave him. I want him to know what it feels like being abandoned."

"But..." Sue was surprised.

Madam not only hated Mr. Lancaster - she wanted to get revenge against him.

"Sue." Yvonne looked serious. "I hope you won't tell Henry about what I told you today. Don't even let him know that I'm actually Yvonne."

Sue was a little reluctant, "But sooner or later, Mr. Lancaster will find out. Madam, there’s no way you can hide this forever."

"I know. When I achieve what I want and get my revenge, I'll come forward and be honest about my

identity," Yvonne said lightly.

When that happened, not only would she confess her identity, she would also let Theo return to the Lancaster family.

Even though Theo did not see Henry as his father, he could return to the Lancaster family since he was the descendant of the Lancaster family after all.

In the future, everything in the Lancaster family should belong to Theo, and she would never allow it to fall into the hands of others.

"After you come clean about your identity, would you and Mr. Lancaster..."

"No!" Yvonne interrupted her with a blank expression as she knew what Sue was going to say. "My chapter with Henry is over. After my revenge and confession, I don’t want to have anything to do with him ever again."

Then they would be Theo's parents and nothing more. Other than that, they wouldn't have any relationship a tall.

"How can this happen?" Sue was anxious as she obviously didn’t want them to become strangers.

Yvonne looked at her earnestly. "Sue, I don't love him anymore. I just want to get my revenge against him now, and that’s why I'm pretending to be interested in him." "You don't love Mr. Lancaster anymore..." Sue was

stunned.

She never thought that madam, who loved her husband so dearly, would end up not loving her husband anymore.

"Yes, I don't love Henry anymore, so I really hope that you'll keep my secret, Sue. Don't tell Henry about my identity and everything I told you. I only believe you and I told you everything because

you’re Sue.

However, if you tell Henry, then I can only go to extremes to get revenge against them," Yvonne said in a cold voice, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes. 4

Sue was startled. "Madam, you must think twice!"
