CHAPTER 700 THE PARTY IS OVER

Yvonne frowned. "You're Miss Lovette, right?"

Mandy nodded. "Yes."

Yvonne folded her arms and looked at her with a fake smile. "You apologized earlier. Why are you apologizing again?”

Mandy looked up at Henry who was next to Yvonne. Then she lowered her head, bit her lips, and said," Because I feel like I wasn't sincere in expressing my regrets earlier, so..."

"Alright, it doesn't matter if you're sincere or not. I can't let you off and not compensate my dress just because you apologized sincerely. Although my dress isn't that expensive, I spent money to buy it too. It can't be wasted like this. Do you think I'm right?" Yvonne lifted her dress.

Mandy squeezed her hands on both sides. "Miss Smith H

Yvonne corrected her, "Please call me Mrs. Lancaster."

When Henry heard this, his lips twitched. He was obviously in a good mood.

Mandy’s face was pale as if she had been wronged. She looked at Yvonne disapprovingly. "Yes, Mrs. Lancaster!”

She shouted seriously when she called her Mrs.

Lancaster.

How could Yvonne not know that Mandy was reluctant to call her? But she didn't care. She flipped her hair and said, "What were you saying earlier?"

Mandy took a deep breath. "Mrs. Lancaster, the price for this dress is a little too high for me. I just wet your dress a little. Can you spare me..."

"No!” Yvonne interrupted her, "I've made myself very clear. I'm not a philanthropist, so I won't be kind.

What's more, Miss Lovette is obviously from a wealthy family since you’re attending the party tonight. Don't tell me, you can't afford it?"

"Of course not..."

"Since that's not the case, then I have nothing else to say." Yvonne spread her hands.

Mandy's body trembled slightly and she looked at Henry with teary eyes as if she had something to say t o him.

Yvonne's eyes turned cold. "Miss Lovette, why are you looking at my husband like this?"

Mandy's eyes flashed. She quickly retracted her gaze and shook her head. "No, I was just thinking about my parents who are abroad. I came here alone and I only have hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'll be broke after compensating you. So Mrs. Lancaster, can I work at your place to pay off the debt?"

She would do anything as long as she could get close t

o this man.

She would drive this vicious woman away when she made this man fall in love with her.

This woman was really cold-hearted. Her dress clearly got wet a little and she wanted Mandy to compensate for it. Wouldn't it be fine after washing it? She even complained that the dress couldn't

be worn after washing it. The dress was supposed to be a one-off, so why did she have to be so corny?

Yvonne didn't know what Mandy was thinking, but when she heard that Mandy was going to work at her place, Yvonne was shocked and she laughed angrily.

Yvonne looked at Henry and revealed the coldness in her eyes. "Hubby, this lady said that she would like to work at our home. What do you think?"

Mandy also looked at Henry with her eyes full of hope.

She hoped that he would agree.

But Henry didn't even look at her. He looked at Yvonne tenderly and stroked her hair. "There are enough servants at home. We don't need to hire more."

Yvonne put away her coldness in her eyes and looked at Mandy. "Miss Lovette, do you hear that? My husband said that there's no shortage of people, so I'm sorry we can't offer you a job. It's fine if you don't have enough money. I'll give you a three-month deadline. During this period of time, you can either work for others or call your parents. You should be able to pay back the money by then."

Mandy wanted to say something. "But..."

Yvonne narrowed her eyes. "Miss Lovett, you'd better not say that you can't compensate me or you don't have enough time to avoid paying for the dress. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

With that, she held Henry's arm and left.

Mandy stood still, biting her lips and looking in the direction that they left with red eyes. Her heart was full of reluctance. 2

Why? Why must Yvonne force her?

She didn’t mean to wet her dress. Why did she have to be so mean?

Yvonne didn't care about what the woman would think after she left.

She was in the car, on the way home with Henry at this time.

Henry put his coat on her and asked, "What exactly happened? How did your dress get spilled on?"

Yvonne told him what happened at that time truthfully, "Here's what happened."

After listening, Henry nodded to indicate that he knew.

Yvonne propped her hands on her knee. She looked at him and said, "Hubby, do you think it's too much for m e to make that woman compensate?" "No." Henry shook his head. "She spilled it on your dress, so it's unquestionable that she has to compensate."

Yvonne said with a sneer, "Really? But she doesn't think so. She thinks that I'm mean to her to ask for compensation. Look at her face-she almost cried then."

She could see that the woman didn't plan to compensate her from the beginning and her apology wasn't sincere.

The reason why she repeatedly apologized was just to get close to Henry. After all, it was obvious when she looked at Henry with a hurtful expression. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Henry noticed Yvonne staring at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "What's the matter?"

Yvonne curled her lips. "It's nothing. I just think that m y husband is really lucky to have so many admirers."

Henry thought she was talking about Nana Mae. He took her hand and kissed it. "Don't worry. I'll always b e yours and I'll only love you."

Yvonne could tell that he meant it. After a smile, she rested her head on his shoulder. "I know, so do I. As long as you don't betray me, I won't disappoint you either."

Henry turned her head. "There won’t be such a day."

Yvonne smiled without speaking.

Hopefully, there won't be such a day.

After she went through so much, she was no longer that simple woman who only believed in promises.

Therefore, she wouldn't believe Henry's words fully. She would only believe half of them and leave the rest of it to prove whether his promises were credible or not.

Henry knew what Yvonne was thinking and he sighed secretly.

Although he was a little disappointed that she didn’t trust him wholeheartedly, he didn't say anything. He just stroked her hair and said, "Are you tired?”

Yvonne nodded. "A little.”

"Then go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." Henry tucked her coat.

Yvonne hummed, rubbed his shoulders, then closed her eyes and slept.

Soon, they reached the family residence.

Henry didn’t wake Yvonne up as he said. Instead, he carried her out of the car and entered the family residence.

"Sir, you're back. Madam..." Sue was shocked to see Henry carrying Yvonne back in his arms.

Henry said while walking in, "Everything's fine. She just fell asleep." "Okay, I was shocked.” Sue patted her chest.

Henry continued to walk forward. "Is Theo asleep?"

Sue followed him and replied, "Yes, he's with young M r. Lancaster."

Henry stopped walking. "With Hayden?"

Sue said while covering her smile, "Yes, the young Mr. Lancaster said that he misses Theo, so he took Theo to sleep with him."

Henry continued to walk forward. "No wonder he didn't go to the party tonight."

"The young Mr. Lancaster said that he didn't know the Mae family and it won't make any difference whether he goes or not. Anyway, he might as well stay at home since you went, sir."

Henry pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "He's just making excuses for being lazy."
