Chapter 132 Jacqueline''s Gloat


    It was Jacqueline who called.


    Since Henry had made it clear to Jacqueline, thetter would call her time and time again either to


    question her or ask her about Henry''s whereabouts.


    Yvonne was annoyed by it and never really picked up her calls. This time, it was the same. She let


    the phone ring for a while before sliding the hang-up button to cut the call. Thinking that Jacqueline


    would stop calling her after being hung up like usual, Yvonne''s phone rang again after ten seconds


    or so.


    She grimaced and answered it after a moment of hesitation. "Miss Conrad, how can I help you?"


    Her tone was frosty.


    Jacqueline sounded jolly on the other end of the line." Yvonne Frey, you must be dismayed, huh?"


    "What?" Yvonne frowned. Why did she not understand a word?


    "I mean, Henry left you in the middle of the night yesterday to apany me in the hospital. You


    must be saddened, right?" Jacqueline repeated herself, her tone taunting.

    Yvonne was astounded. "Henry went to the hospitalst night?” "Ah, so you didn''t know? Henry


    didn''t tell you?"


    Jacqueline gasped.


    Yvonne clenched her phone without a reply.


    She knew now that Henry had left in a hurryst night to apany Jacqueline in the hospital.


    Why did he not tell her the truth? Feeling a pang in her heart, Yvonne bit her lips ruthlessly.


    After a long silence from Yvonne, Jacqueline could imagine what she must be feeling after thinking


    about it for a moment and chirped, "Ah, so Miss Frey, you really didn’t know? Right, why would


    Henry tell you where he''s going anyway? You probably didn''t know. Henry''s been keeping me


    company in the hospital every day recently."


    "Every day?" Yvonne paled.


    So Henry had been going to the hospital daily?


    "Yes, he’s beening over daily. He went backtest night, didn''t he? Because I didn''t allow


    him to go," Jacqueline cackled.


    There was a quiver in Yvonne''s hand that held her phone as she believed Jacqueline’s words


    without a doubt. Thetter knew that he hade homete and even left in the middle of the


    night. It must be true then - Henry had gone to spend time with Jacqueline.


    The question was, why?


    Yvonne’s eyes rimmed red, her heart felt like needles were piercing it.


    Henry had told her that he would not be seeing Jacqueline if it was not necessary, but not only did


    he not speak about going to her these two days, he even went over in the middle of the night.


    Coupled with Jacqueline’s lively voice right now, what could actually happen to her?!


    Why was Henry lying to her?


    "Miss Frey?" Jacqueline wore a smirk. "Why aren’t you talking? Is it because you’ve gotten angry


    over what I said?"


    Yvonne snapped out of her thoughts and pressed her lips together. "Miss Conrad, are you calling


    me to tell m e these things?"


    "Yes. I want to let you know who between us is the most important to him, and that your husband


    will pick me over you," Jacqueline preened.


    Feeling a painful throb in her heart, Yvonne was emotionless. "Really? So? Even if you’re the most


    important one to Henry, you''re still the past to him. I’m his wife and Grandpa''s given me the jade


    pendant. My name is recorded in the family tree as well. This is the undeniable truth."


    Jacqueline''s smile froze, reced by deep jealousy and resentment. "So what if that old thing gave


    you the pendant? So what if you''re in the family tree?


    Don''t you forget, once that old thing dies, Henry is the head of the Lancasters. It’s a walk in the park


    if he wants to take back the pendant and remove your name from the family tree then." "Henry won''t


    do that!" Yvonne said resolutely.


    Jacqueline scoffed. "That''s because you don’t know Henry well enough. He hates his enemies and


    will always swear revenge. He’s done nothing to you now because you didn''t provoke him. But if I


    create a little misunderstanding between the two of you and make him hate you, do you think he''ll


    not do anything?"


    "You’re despicable!" Yvonne shot up from the bed.


    Jacqueline rolled her eyes. "Despicable? I admit that I am. So what, though? As long as I can


    achieve what I want, I can pay any price. So Yvonne Frey, be clever and leave Henry on your own.


    Otherwise, you''ll regret i t."


    She hung up after that. 2


    Yvonne plopped back to the bed, staring at the floor in a daze that she did not even realize when


    her phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the floor. All her mind could think about was


    Jacqueline’s threat.


    There was no denying that Jacqueline was right.


    Between herself and Jacqueline, she never held the same significance as thetter did in Henry''s


    heart. If anything happened between them, it was in to see who Henry was going to believe in.


    Hence, it was a piece of cake if Jacqueline really wanted to instigate conflict and make Henry hate


    her thoroughly. After all, there was no trust between her and Henry. In spite of it, Yvonne could not


    just leave


    Henry like Jacqueline had asked her to. What should she do? 1


    Her mood fell to rock-bottom then and stayed there for the entire morning.


    Sue could not help fretting when she came to fetch her lunch and saw that she was gloomy.


    "Madam, what’s the matter?"


    "Sue..." As if finding support, Yvonne hugged Sue and said with a sob, "What should I do?"


    "What is it?" Sue was befuddled.


    Yvonne ryed her conversation with Jacqueline to the woman. Sue was boiling in anger. "Madam,


    did the woman actually say that?"


    "Yeah.” Yvonne nodded.


    Gritting her teeth, Sue spat, "Shameless! What kind of mother brings up that kind of daughter, really.


    The genes of a homewrecker will always be passed down. Madam, don’t you listen to her.”


    "I don''t want to but I’m scared. If Jacqueline does create some sort of misunderstanding between


    me and Henry and makes him despise me, what should I d o?" Yvonne covered her face in misery.


    Henry was as cold as he looked. Once he despised someone, it could kill. Moreover, she had


    endured three years of emotional abuse from Henry. Now that things had gotten better, she did not


    want to revisit that period of time.


    "It won''t happen, madam." Sue patted her back. "Don''t worry. I believe that sir will have his


    judgment and nothing will happen just yet."


    "I’m just scared of the what-ifs. Jacqueline is deceitful. I can’t win over her." Yvonne shook her head


    helplessly. 1


    Sue knew exactly what she meant and thought about i t before looking at Yvonne seriously.


    “Madam, I can tell master and let him settle this. Once master takes over the matter, he''ll send that


    woman far, far away and she won’t see sir in this lifetime. Even if the Conrads stop it, it’ll be


    useless."


    "Really?" Yvonne was stunned.


    Sue nodded. "Yes. Master can do that. It depends on what you think, madam."


    Yvonne opened her mouth but she hesitated. To be honest, she was delighted to hear it. She


    wished for nothing but for Henry to never see Jacqueline again in this lifetime. This way, he would


    not be spending his time and effort on her. Perhaps, he would eventually see Yvonne for what she


    was worth.


    However, would she not stoop to be despicable too if she did that?


    "Never mind!" Yvonne shook her head in selfdepreciation.


    Sue''s eyes bulged. "Why, madam? This is a golden opportunity."
