Chapter 298 Lte Resigns
Yvonne shook her head. "My injury feels rather painful. I think I''m going to head upstairs and rest,
let’s stop talking about this topic now."
She pointed at her ribs.
Sue understood that she had better stop asking any more questions and agreed with Yvonne.
"Alright, you head back to your room and rest then. I''ll call you up when the food''s ready."
“Alright." Yvonne nodded and got up from the sofa and slowly walked upstairs.
Back in her room, Yvonne took out her cell phone and called the old man instead of resting as she
said she would.
The old man was surprised and shocked as he picked up Yvonne’s phone call. "Yvonne? What''s
with the sudden phone call?"
"I need to ask you something, Grandpa. Do you know about my abduction a few days ago?" asked
Yvonne in a serious tone.
The old man was shocked. "What? You''ve been abducted? Who did it?"
Yvonne bit her lip.
She had guessed that Henry did not tell the old man about what happened and she was right.
She already suspected Henry when he did not answer when she asked if there was any news about
that masked old man.
Now that she had asked the old man, her suspicions were proven to be true.
"I''m not sure who did it. That man only said that he was an enemy of the Lancasters," replied
Yvonne.
The old man''s voice deepened. "Enemy of the Lancasters... Yvonne, tell me everything that
happened to you. I want to know what''s going on!"
"Alright," replied Yvonne and she exined everything that happened in detail.
The old man was furious when he finished hearing everything. "How dare Henry not tell me that
such a serious incident has urred. Wait till I get to talk to him."
"Grandpa, you mustn''t me it on Henry. He might have his own concerns," said Yvonne to help
Henry when she saw the old man was beginning to be furious at Henry.
The old man murmured coldly, "Concerns? What concerns could he have? It''s obvious that he
doesn’t want to tell me."
Yvonne fell silent.
To be honest, she could not understand Henry''s actions as well. He clearly said that he would talk to
the old man about it when he went to the family
residence previously. What made him change his mind?
"Alright Yvonne, I understand what has happened now. Thank you for telling me the truth. I''ll make
sure that Frederick will send you some vitamins to help with your recovery. In the meantime, you
should leave everything to me."

The old man hung up so quickly that Yvonne couldn''t even stop him.
She put down her phone and mumbled, "I haven''t even asked Grandpa about the masked old man
yet."
However, she decided not to ponder about it since she knew that the old man would be looking for
Henry now. Henry would be asking her about it eventually as well.
She decided to wait till Henry got back before asking him the question.
She had to wait until night time.
When Henry returned home, his face was dark and discontented.
He walked towards Yvonne who was watching the television and put down his briefcase before
coldly asking her, "Why did you tell Grandpa about it?”
Yvonne muted the television. "Was I not allowed to?”
"Grandpa isn''t well at the moment. You telling him would only agitate him.” Henry’s lips pursed into
a straight line.
Yvonne was startled. "So you did not ask Grandpa about that masked old man when you were at
the family residence?"
Henry pressed on his be as he sat down. "I did go to the family residence, but I couldn’t bring
myself to tell Grandpa about it when I saw him coughing so badly."
"I see." Yvonne was slightly depressed about this revtion. "I didn''t know, I was worried about you
and hoped that you would be able to find the Lancaster''s enemy as soon as possible to avoid
unnecessary danger. That''s why I... I''m sorry..." 1
She stood up and apologized to Henry with a bow.
Henry held up his hand. "It''s fine. The good thing is that Grandpa is emotionally stable. However,
please don''t do anything rash anymore, discuss with me and let me decide."
"Ok." Yvonne nodded her head continuously.
Henry poured himself a ss of water. "I asked Grandpa about it earlier in the afternoon. He says
that there is someone who has a grudge against the Lancasters around his age, but that man
already passed away three years ago. He doesn’t know anything else other than that."
"So Grandpa doesn''t know who the masked man is." Yvonne looked at him.
Henry nodded his head.
Yvonne forced a wry smile. "It''s alright, I believe you''d be able to find out about his identity soon. In
the meantime, you must be careful. I''m worried that they''d do something to harm you."
"I know." Henry nodded as he calmed down.
Yvonne saw that he was no longer angry at her and calmed herself. "About that..."
"Speak," said Henry.
Yvonne clenched her fists. "Can I make a visit to the office tomorrow?"
"You''re nning to go to work?" Henry squinted his eyes.
Yvonne waved. "It''s not that, I just need to pick up some things."
"Is it important?"
"Yes, it’s some documents rted to fashion design," exined Yvonne.
Henry raised his chin. "I understand. I''ll ask Joe to send you back after you retrieve the documents."
"Alright, thank you, Henry." Yvonne smiled.
Henry put down his ss. "Let''s get some rest."
He got up and reached out a hand towards her.
Yvonne saw this and understood his intentions. She then ced her hand gently on top of his.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs.
The next day after a good night''s sleep, Yvonne arrived at the office and greeted her manager
before going into her cubicle to retrieve her documents.
Just as she was about to leave after retrieving her documents, Lyte arrived and sat on her desk
with her head lowered. Suddenly, Lte rested her head o n her desk and began sobbing.
Yvonne was in shock when she saw this and put away her documents hurriedly. "What''s wrong
Lyn?"
Lte heard her voice and stifled her tears as she raised her head, her face filled with shock.
"Yvonne, why are you back? Didn’t the manager say that you were on a long holiday?"
"Yes, I''m here to retrieve some stuff. I was just about to leave." Yvonne patted on the documents
she had put down before asking again. "What about you? Where have you been? I hadn''t seen you
when I arrived and now that I have, there you are crying away."
Lte lowered her eyes as she choked while replying, "I''ve been to the Human Resources
Department."
"What were you doing there?” Yvonne suddenly felt uneasy.
Lte took a deep breath before saying, "I''ve gone to hand in my resignation."
Yvonne froze for a moment before realizing what had just happened. "What did you say, Lyn?
You''ve resigned?"
She couldn''t believe her ears as she looked at Lte i n shock.
Lte wiped her tears and forced a smile. "You haven’t heard wrong, I''ve really resigned."
"Why?" Yvonne was agitated. "Why are you resigning all of a sudden?"
"I have no choice." Lte covered her face and had another meltdown. “A lot of things have
happened to me recently. The doctor says that my dad has thoroughly broken his legs from thatst
fall and all hopes of recovering are now lost. He''s still in aa a t the moment because he hit his
head when he fell, there might be a possibility that he won''t be able to wake up ever again."
"What?" Yvonne was startled. "How did it turn out to b e so serious?"
"That''s what I was thinking as well, but that’s not the worst part. When my mum heard that my dad
may not ever wake up, she burst a vessel in her brain and is now lying in the hospital as well. If I
don''t resign now, who''d look after them?" Lte began to cry in despair as she finished.
Yvonne waspletely stunned and could only reply after a moment, "What''s your mum''s condition
at the moment? Is she out of the critical stage?”
