Chapter 301 Be My Woman
Henry lifted his chin a little. "It''s okay."
"I guess it works." Yvonne chuckled a little and picked up the tickets happily and looked at them
again.
Seeing Yvonne so happy, the unease in his heart dissipated.
"You can continue looking at those tickets. I’m going t o my study to make a call." Henry stood up
and went upstairs after that.
Yvonne looked up and watched as Henry until he disappeared into the stairway. She kept the tickets
carefully and took out her phone. She searched online for more information about the fashion show
so as not to make a fool of herself on the actual day.
She only put down her phone reluctantly and went upstairs to her room when Sue came to look for
her at 1 1 pm.
Henry wasn''t back yet and was still busy in his study.
Yvonne knew that he was dealing with his business s o she didn''t want to disturb him. After washing
up, sheid on her bed and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already morning.
The first thing Yvonne did when she opened her eyes was look over to her side. As expected, it was
empty, but the dent in the pillow meant that Henry had been backst night.
Thinking about it, Yvonne reached out and touched the empty side of the bed where Henry had
been lying. It was cold so she knew that it had been some time since he left.
For the past two days, he had almost always gone to bedte and gotten up early. If this continued,
she wondered how long his body could keep up with it-he was already thirty after all.
"Yvonne." Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. Sue''s voice drifted from the door. “Are
you awake?"
Yvonne rubbed her eyes and sat up. "I''m up. You cane in, Sue."
The door flung open and Sue came in with aundry basket. “Good morning, Yvonne." 3
"Good morning.” Yvonne yawned, "It is quite early, Sue. What''s the matter?" Yvonne asked
lethargically.
Sue ced theundry basket down. "Master Lancaster called just now. He wants Mr. Lancaster
and you to return to the family mansion for dinner tonight.”
"Return to the family mansion?" Yvonne stopped fixing her hair, finding it strange. "Why would
Grandpa suddenly want us to return to the family mansion?" "Yvonne, have you forgotten? The
annual business alliance meeting ising up. This year, it is the Lancasters'' turn to hold the
meeting. Master Lancaster probably wants both of you to go to the family mansion to delegate the
task of organizing this year’s event," Sue answered.
Yvonne was stunned. "Delegating it to us? But I don''t know anything. I''ve never attended such
business alliance events before."
Though she had not attended one before, she did know what it was. The event basically involved a
group of corporate bigwigs gathering together and analyzing their business direction next year and
officially introducing their heirs.
However, Henry had never brought her along before.
"It will be alright, you can just learn along the way." Aunt Song smiled unconcernedly. "Don''t worry,
Yvonne. Master Lancaster and Mr. Lancaster will teach you what you need to do then. Don''t worry,
just get up and have breakfast." 6
"Okay." Yvonne managed a smile. She lifted her nket, got out of bed, and headed to the
bathroom.
After washing up, she went downstairs.
Sue had alreadyid out her breakfast. Yvonne sat down, picked up her knife and fork, and started
eating absent-mindedly.
When she finished eating, she said her goodbyes to Sue and left for Elliot''s vi.
She hadn''t saved Elliot''s phone number, and she had deleted the previous call log, so she couldn''t
contact him at all now. If she wanted to look for him, she had t o go to his office or to his vi.
She didn''t know if he was at the vi at this time, but i f he wasn''t, she''d try to meet him at his office.
In the midst of her thoughts, Yvonne found herself standing at the door of Elliot''s vi.
She looked fixedly at the door, which was simr to Henry''s vi, then took a deep breath and
raised her hand to ring the doorbell.
The door quickly opened, but the one who opened the door was not Elliot, but a middle-ageddy
about the same age as Sue.
The woman gave Yvonne a suspicious nce before she asked, "Who are you?"
"Hi, I''m from that vi, and myst name is Frey." Yvonne pointed in the direction of Henry''s vi.
Thedy followed the direction where she pointed, and a strange glint skidded across her gaze
before she smiled warmly, "So you''re Sue''s employer. What can I do for you?"
"I''m here to see Mr. Taylor. Is he in?" Yvonne asked.
The woman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mrs. Lancaster, pleasee in."
After saying that, she pulled the door fully open and motioned for Yvonne toe in.
Yvonne thanked her and walked into the vi.
She felt ufortable going to someone else s vi for the first time. When the house helper
brought her t o the living room, she sat down reservedly.
"Mrs. Lancaster, wait a moment. I''ll go upstairs and call Mr. Taylor." The housekeeper poured a
ss of water for Yvonne and went upstairs.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Yvonne put down her ss of water and looked up instinctively. She saw Ellioting down the
stairs slowly while he was wearing his tie.
"It''s rare for you to take the initiative to see me," he teased.

Yvonne stood up. "I''m sorry to bother you."
"No, it''s alright. But does Mr. Lancanster know about youing over?" Elliot walked up to her and
looked a t her.
Yvonne looked away. "He doesn''t know."
"You came to look for me without him knowing. It sure seems like I''m still more important to you
than him." Elliot chuckled softly.
Yvonne rolled her eyes and ignored his glibness. Her tone became serious, "Mr. Taylor, please be
serious. I came to see you to ask you a few questions." "What questions?" Elliot sat down.
Yvonne exhaled gently, "It''s about what you saidst time. You told me that Jacqueline has a sister."
"Oh?" Elliot raised an eyebrow. "You remembered. I thought you said it had nothing to do with you
last time. I thought you''d forgotten about it. What''s up? Now that you''ve brought it up, are you
nning to look for her?"
"I''m thinking about it. But, I''d like to know a little more. Does that older sister of Jacqueline''s really
exist?" Yvonne looked at him.
Elliot poured himself a ss of water and took azy sip before answering, "I never lie, whether it''s
my previous confession to you or this incident. I''m telling the truth, but you just don''t want to believe
me."
Yvonne lowered her eyes. "I''m sorry, it''s not that I don''t believe you. It''s just so unbelievable."
"There''s nothing unbelievable about it. Tell me, you just want to find out from me who and where
Jacqueline''s sister is, right?" Elliot curled his lips, almost smiling.
Embarrassed that her intentions were obvious, Yvonne touched the tip of her nose. "So, would you
be willing to tell me?"
"No!" Elliot answered directly.
Yvonne was stunned, "Why?"
"No real reason, I just don''t want to tell you. It''s just nice to watch the drama." Elliot opened his
palms andughed quite shrewdly.
Yvonne pursed her lips. "Mr. Taylor, what''s it going to take for you to tell me?"
"Be my woman!" Elliot''s narrow eyes lit up. 1
"What?" Yvonne''s small face changed slightly and she took a step backward subconsciously.
Elliot stood up and stepped closer to her. "As long as you''re my woman, I''ll tell you everything you
want to know. Not only that, but I can make the Conrad family cease to exist andpletely avenge
you. Instead of being like Henry who is concerned about this and that and dragging his feet with
revenge, Yvonne, what do you think of my proposal?"
