Chapter 332 Yvonne''s Suspicion
Henry threw her an indifferent nce. "Enough, this i s my business. You don''t have to worry about
it. If you''ve nothing to do, you can go to the nursing home t o take care of Grandpa from tomorrow
onward."
"Alright.” Yvonne nodded at the mention of the old man.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had improved a lot, Joe cleared his throat and stood
up." Well then Mr. Lancaster, I shall take my leave now."
Henry hummed in response.
Joe gave Yvonne a smile before leaving the vi.
After he left, Sue put away theptop and asked, "Sir, madam, would you like to have dinner now?"
Yvonne was taken aback for a moment before giving Henry a surprised look. "You haven''t eaten
yet?"
Henry pressed his thin lips. "I''ve been looking for you. When would I have had the time to eat?"
On top of that, how could he be in the mood to eat before he could find her?
Yvonne felt a little guilty at Henry''s reply. "My bad. I won''t act so impulsively next time, sorry.”
"It''s okay. Let''s eat now." Henry stood up and went to the dining room.
Yvonne looked at Sue, who smiled at her in return. " Let’s go, madam."
"Yeah." Yvonne nodded guiltily.
Henry went upstairs after dinner while Yvonne stayed in the living room.
After reading the design book for a while, she decided that it was about time to go upstairs and rest.
She returned to the room and was about to open the door when she noticed a faint bright light
shining through the crack at the bottom of the door.
She was surprised at first, then turned the doorknob before walking in. When she saw the man
sitting on the bed with a tablet in hand, she asked suspiciously," Why are you not working in your
study today?"
"There''s nothing much going on today. Go take a bath." He looked at her.
When Yvonne met his gaze, she instantly recalled the same way he looked at her in the living room
earlier and her small face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
"O-Okay...” Yvonne picked her nails slowly as she made her way to the bathroom.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, it was an hourter.
Henry was no longer browsing on his tablet. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed sses and was
leaning against the bed head while reading an economics book.
"You..." She pointed to the sses on his face in surprise and was about to ask something when
Henry closed the book and interrupted her, "Come here.”
Yvonne put her finger away and walked over.
He left the book on the bedside table, then reached out and grabbed her by the wrist. He pulled her
onto the bed, then flipped over and pinned her under him.
"Take off my sses for me." He lowered his head and looked at her deeply.
His stare left Yvonne feeling dizzy as she obediently took off his sses for him. "Why are you
suddenly wearing these? I''ve never seen you wear them before."
"I got slight astigmatism from reading a lot of documentstely," Henry casually replied as he took
the sses from her hand and threw them aside. He then lifted her by the chin and stared at her
lips for a few seconds.
"Kiss me," hemanded.
Yvonne was stunned for a moment. "K-...Kiss you?"
"Why? You don''t know how to?" Henry stared into her eyes deeply.
Yvonne''s eyes darted around nervously. "I..."
He interrupted her again, "You took the initiative before, so you don''t have to be shy. Now hurry up!"
Yvonne recalled the memory too. She took a deep breath, then craned her neck and nted a kiss
on the man’s lips.
Her kiss was as timid as ever. She didn''t dare to be forceful and she didn’t dare to demand for
more.
Henry got bored after a while. He let go of her chin and sighed in resignation, "You really haven''t
improved.”
That was all he said before he took the lead. He pried Yvonne''s lips forcefully and the two melted
into a passionate kiss...
It was going to be a long night for them.
When Yvonne woke up the next day, she felt nothing but pain on her waist and back. She was still
exhausted and even felt sore in her ribs.

She sighed inwardly and massaged her ribs while enduring the pain.
It seemed like they were too roughst night. Yvonne even wondered if there was any misalignment
in her ribs.
"Madam.” There was a sudden knock on the door, apanied by Sue’s question. "Are you
awake?"
Yvonne removed her hand from her rib and responded, "I am.”
"I''ming in then." Sue pushed open the door and entered.
Yvonne quickly wrapped the quilt around her naked body tightly. "Did something happen for you to
be
looking for me this early?"
Sue snickered at Yvonne''s appearance, knowing that she was wearing nothing underneath the quilt.
"It''s almost noon already. Master Lancaster called earlier and asked when you''ll be there."
"It''s noon already?" Yvonne was shocked for a second before calming herself down again. "I''ll get
ready right away."
"No hurry.” Sue picked up the clothes on the floor and draped them on her arm. "You can go after
lunch.
Now, get up quickly."
"Okay, got it. Sue, why don''t you go out first?" Yvonne hugged the quilt tighter around her.
Sue smiled and nodded, "Alright, fine, I''ll go out."
She then chuckled and went out of the room.
When the door was closed, Yvonne let go of the quilt around her body and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sue actually saw her naked-how embarrassing!
She must beughing at her in her heart.
Yvonne shook her head and smiled wryly at the thought. She then lifted the quilt and went to the
bathroom butt naked.
After washing up, she went downstairs. Sue served the lunch on the dining table for her.
Yvonne walked over and took a seat. "Sue, what time did Henry leave?"
Sue was getting her a bowl of soup when she heard her question. "He left quite some time ago,
around ten i n the morning if I''m not mistaken."
Yvonne took a mouthful of pasta. "That’s quitete, are things okay at thepany?"
"Sir mentioned that he’s not going to thepany today. I think he’s going to bid for thatnd at the
North Shore." Sue set the bowl of soup down in front o f Yvonne.
Yvonne picked it up and took a sip. "That piece ofnd? So he has decided to buy it?"
"Does he even have an option? The vis still need to b e developed,” Sue said with a smile.
Yvonne shook her head. "That''s not what I meant.
During thest business alliance meeting, the discussion between Henry and Mr. Wright didn’t go
that well so I thought Henry would give up on thend. Little did I expect that he''d decide to buy it in
the end."
"Yeah, I know." Sue sat down across from her.
Yvonne looked at her curiously. "You knew?"
"Yeah, Mr. Woods swung by this morning. He said that except for thend at the North Shore, all the
othernds that sir wanted would be expropriated by the government for constructingrge public
venues. I didn''t listen to the details, but that was all I heard." Sue repeated the content of the
conversation she
heard to Yvonne.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds then sighed, "I see, no wonder Henry suddenly changed his
mind. It turned out that this was his only option. However, I still find it very strange."
"Strange?” Sue asked.
Yvonne put down her fork. "About thosends. Even if the government wants to expropriate the
lands, they shouldn''t be expropriated all at once. Thosends are scattered across different areas,
and the government probably isn''t going to build so many public venues at the same time. The
coincidence smells fishy to me."
"Now that you mention it, it does smell fishy. Why did the government choose to expropriate those
lands now of all times?" Sue agreed while stroking her chin.
Yvonne pressed her lips. "It''s almost like someone purposely left thend at the North Shore for
Henry to bid on."
"Madam... do you think it''s a trap?" Sue questioned in fear.
