Chapter 52 The Conrads'' Past
"Yes, that''s what Miss Conrad said." The caregiver replied humbly with a slight bow.
"Please return," Yvonne gave her a small smile.
"Huh?" The caregiver was a little confused.
"I won''t be meeting her. Besides, I''m not in the state to get out of bed." Yvonne lifted her left arm
that was connected to an IV drip.
There was no point in meeting Jacqueline.
Her behavior from thest meeting had definitely left an impression on her.
Yvonne felt that it was best for her to keep her distance from that two-faced woman to avoid being
used of something she didn''t do.
The caregiver was instantly flustered because she didn''t expect Yvonne to refuse her so tantly.
"Miss Frey, I know you feel troubled, but Miss Conrad said that she must see you. Otherwise..."
"Wait!" Sue couldn''t stand it anymore and interrupted the caregiver with a sullen face. "Otherwise
what? You think only Miss Conrad is so important and our madam isn’t? Why must madam meet
her just because she wants to see her?" 2
Yvonne nodded in agreement.
"Oh no..." The caregiver almost cried from panic. She waved her hands and frantically exined, "I
didn''t say that, I was just rying Miss Conrad''s words."
"I don''t care who said it!" Sue stood with hands on her waist and spoke aggressively, "Go back and
ask her why should madam be the one to go over there when she''s the one who wants to see her?
Can’t shee here herself?"
"Miss Conrad can''te over because she just had her surgery," the caregiver shrank her neck
and mumbled timidly.
Sueughed out of anger. "Isn''t it the same for madam? Don''t go forgetting the fact that madam is
only lying here because she has saved her life. How different is Miss Conrad from an ingrate to be
treating her savior this way?"
"Well..." The caregiver was at a loss for words.
Sue pushed her out of the door hatefully. "Alright, enough. Hurry up and leave. Our madam isn''t
going to meet her. Tell her if she has something to say, then she can either give madam a call or
come over herself. Otherwise, she can forget about it!" 4
Bang!
The door was mmed shut.
Sue dusted her hands and came back. "What the hell. Does she think she''s a princess? Why
should you go over to meet her?”
"Sue..." Yvonne was stunned by her every action and just had to give her a thumbs-up. "You''re
really impressive for sending her away so easily.”
Sue chuckled, "You must be blunt when ites to dealing with people like them, especially that
Conrad woman. If you don''t stand your ground, she''ll step all over you. That woman is really nasty."
"I’ve already experienced it firsthand," Yvonne sighed ruefully.
"Oh?" Sue’s curiosity was piqued. "Did something happen between the two of you?"
"Well, we had a little fight."
Yvonne briefly told Sue about everything that happened between her and Jacqueline when they met
the other day.
After listening to the story, Sue pped the table angrily. "What a vile person she is! She’s probably
the most ungrateful person in the world. How disgusting for her to pretend like she''s innocent! Sir is
the only one who hasn''t seen her real face."
The corners of Yvonne''s mouth twitched as she agreed with Sue’s words.
Through her observation and analysis, the Jacqueline that Henry knew was a totally different
person.
"Madam, you need to stay away from that Conrad woman from now on." Sue brought a ss of
water to Yvonne’s lips.
Yvonne happened to be a little thirsty, so she took a few sips. "Stay away?"
To think that Sue was giving her that kind of advice too, it would seem like Jacqueline was more
dangerous than she expected.
"Yes, stay as far away as you can!" Sue looked at Yvonne with a serious expression. "When that
woman was dating sir back then, she was terrifyingly possessive. Master Lancaster did so much to
finally make them break up. Now that you''re Mr. Lancaster''s wife, I worry that she might do
something to you out o f jealousy."
"I see," Yvonne nodded slightly in understanding." Don''t worry Sue, I know what to do. I''m curious
though. Why did Master Lancaster break them up?"
"Because that woman is ungrateful," Sue curled her lips in disgust. "I can’t tell you the details, but
sir saved her life back then and she ended up abandoning him. I''m guessing it’s a trait she inherited
from her mother."
"Her mother?" Yvonne blinked her eyes curiously. " Tell me more please, Sue."
"Fine," Sue set the ss down. "This goes all the way back to twenty years ago when the Conrad
family was just established and Dominic''s wife wasn''t Jacqueline’s mother. Her mother was a
mistress who forced her way into the Conrad family when she was pregnant with Jacqueline."
"Then that makes Jacqueline an illegitimate daughter?" Yvonne opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Sue nodded. "Dominic and his first wife started a business together. By the time their business
started doing well, Dominic began fooling around outside. In the end, he cheated on his wife with a
female uni student that she was sponsoring. That student was none other than Jacqueline’s
mother."
"And then?"
"Then Jacqueline''s mother wasn''t willing to be just a mistress and provoked his wife when she was
pregnant. Back then, Dominic''s wife was also pregnant almost at the same time. Then no one knew
what happened after that, but the wife was sent to the hospital and pronounced dead along with the
baby in her womb."
"How terrifying," Yvonne trembled as the story sent a chill down her spine and made her skin crawl.
Sue sighed ruefully, "It caused quite a stir back then. Everyone in the higher society knew about it.
Due to this, the Conrads'' reputation plummeted. Jacqueline’s mother suffered from depression and
died a few years after giving birth to her daughter."
"I guess all wealthy families have their own stories," Yvonne was a little dazed.
Brrr!
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
Sue picked up her phone and then handed it to her happily, "Madam, it''s a call from sir!”
"Henry?" Yvonne frowned and epted the phone, but couldn''t bring herself to be happy for some
reason.
She sent Jacqueline''s servant away just a moment ago and now Henry was calling her. Was it really
a coincidence?
Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
Could it be that Jacqueline made some baseless usation against her to Henry because she
didn''t want to show up in her room?
Just like how she managed to twist the storyst time...
Thinking of this, Yvonne swiped her thumb across the green button on the screen while her
heartstrings tightened. "Hello?"
"Yvonne Frey, did you scold Jackie?" Henry''s cold and deep voice came through from the other end
of the line with what sounded like a questioning tone.
Yvonne secretly grumbled in her heart, then bit her lip. "I didn''t scold her. I didn''t even see her
today.”
"But Jackie told me that she sent someone to your ward to express her gratitude only to be insulted
as an ingrate by you,” Henry said coldly.
"I did not!” Yvonne bit her lower lip angrily. "She was the one who asked me to go over and meet
her
because she had something to talk to me about. She didn’t thank me at all!"
"Yvonne Frey, what’s the point in lying?” Henry''s voice turned even colder, with obvious displeasure
in it.
"Lie?" Yvonne echoed his word in shock.
"You im that Jackie asked you to go over and meet her. I’m sure she knows that there’s no way
you could go there in your current state. Why do you have to use her this way?"
H
"Enough!" Henry interrupted her impatiently. "Yvonne Frey, I hope you won''t cause any more trouble
while you are resting in the hospital and do not bully
Jackie!" 2
Yvonne looked at the dark screen speechlessly after Henry hung up on her.
Who bullied Jacqueline? What kind of joke was that? 1 Who was the real bully here?!
