CHAPTER 612 THE FREYS
"That's up to you." Yvonne saw the murderous intent i n Henry's eyes and she knew that he would not let Jacqueline go, so she did not say anything further.
In fact, it would be nice to get him involved as well. At least it would be much more likely for them to find Jacqueline.
"Well, time to get up and have breakfast." Henry lifted the blanket and got out of bed, interrupting Yvonne's thoughts.
Yvonne stared at him angrily.
Why was he acting like this was his home?
Although she was displeased, Yvonne still got out of bed to put on her clothes and wash up.
Just like yesterday, she saw that Henry had already set up their breakfast.
Yvonne took a quick glance before she picked up a bowl and started eating.
After eating, she made a call and asked Lisa to come over and pick her up.
Her car was still in the hospital parking lot. Although there were other cars in the parking lot of the apartment, she wasn't sure if Jacqueline had done anything to her other cars, so she thought it would be better to not drive for the time being.
Not only did she stop driving, but she also stopped Henry from driving his car.
His car was parked in the middle of the night last night, so who knew if Jacqueline did anything to his car as well? She didn’t want to take that risk or let anything happen to him.
It was not because she was worried about him, but she feared if anything happened to him, Theo would lose his father and he might turn back to how he was before.
Lisa arrived within half an hour. She was surprised to see Henry next to Yvonne.
"Mr. Lancaster?"
Henry glanced at her and nodded, which was his way of responding.
Lisa looked at Yvonne again as she tried to find out what was going on and why Henry was there.
However, Yvonne didn’t explain. She pulled the door and got into the car.
What could she say?
She couldn't tell her that Henry climbed into her bed i n the middle of the night.
The three of them got in the car and left in an awkward mood.
After arriving at the energy company, Yvonne got out o f the car with Lisa and left the car to Henry so that he could drive to his company by himself.
Henry agreed with the arrangement and drove away.
Lisa looked toward the direction of the car as it drove away and finally asked, "Director, are you and Mr. Lancaster back together?"
"That's impossible," Yvonne replied casually as she walked into the company.
Lisa hurriedly caught up with her. "But I noticed the mood between the two of you seems like you have reconciled. Plus, Mr. Lancaster was in your apartment early in the morning, which was obviously abnormal."
"Enough, hurry up and tell me my work itinerary today. If you keep going on about this, I'll deduct your bonus," Yvonne warned her coldly.
Lisa stuck out her tongue and took out a notebook she brought with her to report on her itinerary for the day. She finally stopped asking Yvonne questions.
At noon, Henry asked someone to bring the car back. H e also sent a sumptuous lunch for her and said that he made it himself.
When Lisa heard that, she was astonished as she could not believe that Henry could actually cook.
Yvonne's reaction was not that exaggerated, but she was still a little surprised.
She didn't expect Henry to actually make lunch and send someone to bring it to her.
It had only been a while since he left to go to the Lancaster Group. Had he been cooking and not working all morning?
"Director, hurry up, open it and let me check out Mr. Lancaster's skills.” Lisa was very curious and urged Yvonne to open the lunch box quickly.
After all, it was surprising that someone like Henry could cook.
Yvonne opened the lunch box after she rolled her eyes at Lisa.
The moment she opened the lunch box, they could immediately smell the refreshing fragrance of the food.
Lisa gulped as she stared at the food box with her gleaming eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, what a hearty meal. Director, it's all your favorite food. It smells and looks great. I'm sure it's delicious. I didn't expect Mr. Lancaster to have such good cooking skills."
"What's good about it? This is just ordinary food." Yvonne pouted.
Lisa looked at her like she was a monster. "Ordinary food? Director, I think you probably have bad eyesight, or you simply dislike Mr. Lancaster's cooking. In that case, you can give me your lunch box so I don’t have to go to the cafeteria."
After Lisa said that, she was going to grab the lunch box.
Yvonne immediately slapped the back of Lisa’s hand when she noticed it. "What're you trying to do? This is mine."
"But didn't you say you don't like it?" Lisa pursed her lips.
Yvonne's eyes flashed slightly. "I’m not giving it to you even if I don't like it. I'll just throw it."
"It's a shame to throw it all away. Why can't I eat it for you?" Lisa said again.
Yvonne waved her hand. "Enough. You should go out now, since you have work to do."
"Hmph!" Lisa gave her a bitter look and glanced at the sumptuous food in the lunch box again before leaving the room.
The office door closed shut and after Yvonne made sure that Lisa was really gone, she took out the cutleries from the lunch box and put a piece of fish into her mouth.
The aroma of the tender piece of fish filled her mouth. It tasted so good that she closed her eyes while savoring it.
She knew that Henry was good at cooking since six years ago because she had tasted his food before.
Now, six years later, his culinary skills were still as good. copyrighted © content.
Yvonne ate her lunch happily in the office and finished it very quickly.
As she stared at the empty food container, she silently pursed her lips and touched her bloated belly. She refused to admit that she had eaten so much.
At this moment, the cell phone on her desk suddenly rang.
Yvonne moved her hand from her belly to her cell phone as she picked it up to take a look. Henry’s name popped up on the screen.
She did not hesitate when she answered the call," Hello?"
"Are you done eating?" Henry's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Yvonne felt as if her ears were tickled. She couldn't help but retract her neck involuntarily as she asked," What are you talking about?"
She pretended like she didn't know what he was talking about.
Henry chuckled lightly. "The lunch I asked someone t o send you."
Yvonne's gaze subconsciously fell on the empty lunch box and she denied it. "No, I’m very busy, I don't have time to eat."
"What work do you need to get done? I'll come help you so you can eat," Henry said.
Yvonne could hear the sound of him getting up through the phone and she panicked. "You really want to come over? No way. How can we let you do our company’s work? What if you steal my company's confidential information?"
Henry raised his eyebrows. "If that’s the case, then you should eat the lunch box. I won’t come over if you don't eat."
"Fine. I’ll eat it later," Yvonne replied as she pretended to be impatient and busy.
Henry said, "Okay."
"Did you really call me just to ask me whether I've eaten or not?" Yvonne suddenly asked.
Henry laughed.
His laughter was attractive and he had a deep voice. Women would swoon over that.
But Yvonne refused to admit it and she sneered, "What are you laughing at? Just tell me already."
"Okay, I’ll tell you." Henry suddenly turned serious. "I sent someone to the place where beggars are seen the most in Vancouver this morning. Although I didn't find Jacqueline, I found two people I never thought I'd see."
"Who?"
"You know them."
"Huh?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Who, exactly?"
"It's the Freys," Henry replied.
Yvonne looked surprised. "What? Why would they be there?"
"I was surprised too, so I asked some of my men to look into it. It turned out it was because Jason was still gambling after we caught him. After I got someone to break his hand, he still continued to gamble, but he hid it very well so we didn't know about it. Jason ended up with a huge debt because of gambling. After his death, the Freys became responsible for his debts."
At this point, Yvonne could already guess what happened next. "They couldn't afford to pay off his debts, so those creditors took their house?"
