CHAPTER 56 I'LL TAKE HIM BACK

Yvonne’s knees gave out as she nearly fell to the ground, "What? Divorce?"

Sure enough, Shane was right.

"Yes, you're unworthy of Henry!” Jacqueline lifted her chin slightly and looked at her haughtily.

Yvonne pulled a chair and sat down in case she really fell down when she heard another shocking demand later.

"Miss Conrad, what do you mean by unworthy?" She pressed her lips tightly.

"It means you're literally unworthy of him. Do you understand what I said?" Jacqueline replied indifferently.

Yvonne clenched her fists tighter as anger tinted her delicate face. "I understand, but what makes you say that I'm unworthy of Henry?"

"Are you worthy?" Jacqueline questioned her back as she sized her up from head to toe repeatedly with her eyes.

Yvonne felt naked under her scrutiny and subconsciously pulled her jacket tighter around her body. "You're not one to say if I am worthy of him," she said a little weakly.

"Miss Frey, it’s not that I want to belittle you,"

Jacqueline crossed her arms and smiled smugly. "But I just can't see anything amazing about you. Ever since I discovered your marriage with Hank, I asked m y dad to do a background check on you. The result was extremely disappointing." 2

"You investigated me?" Yvonne raised her voice, feeling extremely vexed.

After all, no one liked being investigated for no reason.

"Shhh! Keep it down!"

Jacqueline put a finger on her lips, "I wasn't investigating you. I just wanted to understand you more. I wanted to find out what kind of person you are to be able to marry Henry. But I didn't expect the result to be such a letdown, so I really want to know what kind of tricks you pulled to marry into the Lancaster family."

"I've no comments!" Yvonne responded coldly.

Jacqueline narrowed her eyes in irritation. "If you don't tell me, then I’ll just have to analyze it. First of all, you're just an average-looking individual without any family background or talents. On top of that, you’ve got three family members that will drag you down at any time. Miss Frey, why is someone like you qualified to stay by Henry’s side?"

"So you're saying that you’re qualified?" Yvonne was mad too.

"Yes, I am! Not only that, I'm extremely qualified!" Jacqueline smirked arrogantly. "I have a good family background, I'm good-looking, capable and talented. Not only that, but I'm also the only heiress to the Conrad family. I am a right fit for him and can readily help him out at any time, unlike you who doesn't know anything and will only drag him down." 1

Jacqueline's words stabbed Yvonne's heart like a sword. She could hardly breathe from the pain.

During Henry's welcome party, Lynette had discussed this topic with her.

At that time, she was already aware that she wasn’t worthy of Henry.

It hadn’t been that long since then. Now that Jacqueline brought up the same topic, one could only imagine how secretly upset she was.

"Therefore, you should divorce Henry, Miss Frey. It is for his good too. You and Henry are destined to be in different worlds. You'll never fit in his world."

Jacqueline knew that her words had affected Yvonne when she saw her face going pale. Hence, she even deliberately softened her tone to make it sound like a piece of advice.

Just when she thought that Yvonne would concede, the latter suddenly shouted, "Impossible!"

"What?" Jacqueline was dumbfounded.

Yvonne bit her lower lip with a look of determination o n her face. "I won't get a divorce. I know I’m not worthy of Henry, but so what? I'll continue learning to improve myself, so there's no way I'll divorce him."

"Yvonne Frey, are you for real?" Jacqueline was pissed.

After saying so much, she didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn.

"Of course." Yvonne took a deep breath, "Let me tell you this right now, the fact that I can get Grandpa’s blessing to marry Henry means I'm not as incapable o r as useless as you think. I believe I can one day become someone who is worthy of him."

"So what if you believe that? It doesn’t change the fact that Henry loves me and not you. What's the point in pestering him this shamelessly?" Jacqueline's eyes turned bloodshot from her anger.

Yvonne pretended to not hear her and didn't respond t o her.

She was pretty sure that Jacqueline would just get more aggressive if she continued this conversation.

In any case, she was Henry’s wife. She had every right to pester him and it had nothing to do with being shameless.

When Jacqueline realized that Yvonne was playing dumb with her, she nearly erupted. She gripped the armrests of her wheelchair so hard that it seemed like she was going to crush them. "Yvonne Frey, I'll ask you this one last time. Are you going to divorce him?"

"Never!”

"Okay then, don’t blame me for this." Jacqueline grinned at her sinisterly.

Yvonne's heart thumped. "What are you going to do?"

The corners of Jacqueline's lips curled into a frosty smile. "I'm going to think of a way to get you two divorced, of course. Henry is mine. Even if we were separated for three years, he only has me in his heart. So I'm going to take him back."

"You wanna be a homewrecker?" Yvonne looked at her in surprise. Content is © by .

"A homewrecker?" Jacqueline's eyes were filled with hostility. "Yvonne Frey, you are the homewrecker here. You intervened between Henry and me!”

"I didn't. When I met Henry, both of you had broken u p." Yvonne emphasized her point.

"Breaking up doesn’t mean that it has ended. He'll always be mine, and no other woman is allowed to even lay a finger on him. Therefore, you should just leave Henry obediently, Yvonne Frey. Otherwise, I'll make sure you’ll regret it."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Henry about what you said?"

Jacqueline sneered disdainfully, "Be my guest. Let's see if he'll believe you or me." 1

Yvonne fell silent.

Jacqueline felt smug to see Yvonne get beaten up by her verbally. There was no reason to stay any longer s o she prepared to leave.

As soon as she opened the door, she immediately put o n her usual gentle and graceful facade. "Shane, you can come in. We're done talking."

When Shane walked in, Yvonne was the first thing he looked at. He couldn't help but frown when he noticed how she was hanging her head low and looked depressed. "What did you two talk about?"

Jacqueline’s rolled her beautiful eyes. "Not telling! I'll get going now."

She maneuvered her wheelchair and went off, not worried at all that Yvonne would tell Shane what they were talking about.

Shane went up to Yvonne, “Sis-in-law, did she tell you to leave Hank or something along that line?" 2

Yvonne looked up at him in surprise.

Shane put his hands in the pockets of his white coat," Seems like I am right."

Yvonne lowered her head again. "Dr. Summers, do you think I should really leave Henry?"

"Why would you say that?" Shane frowned.

Yvonne covered her face. "I just feel that Jacqueline has made a very good point. I'm inferior to her. Maybe I’m really not worthy of Henry."

"Nonsense. You are different from her. You are much kinder and naive than her. I think it was for those reasons Master Lancaster gave his blessing for you to

marry Henry," Shane comforted her.

"Really?” Yvonne looked at him at a loss.

The look in her eyes made her look like a small animal that had lost its way, and it even made Shane's heart skip a beat. His eyes darkened behind his glasses. "Yeah!"

"I know you’re just comforting me but still, I appreciate that." Yvonne smiled, feeling her mood lifted a little.

"You can try to believe me," Shane reached out and ruffled her silky hair.

"You..." Yvonne looked at him in shock.

It was only then that Shane realized what he had done. Before he could retract his hand, Henry's voice came from behind them, cold with suppressed anger." What are you two doing?”
