Chapter 333 Jacqueline''s Provocation
Yvonne was starting to worry. "I don’t know, I’m just guessing. It may not necessarily be a collusion."
"I know, but what if it’s true?" Sue was still worried.
Yvonne was silent for a while. "If it’s true, then..."
"Then let’s tell sir so that he can investigate to see if there really is collusion. If there isn’t, then he
can proceed to buy thend," Sue suggested.
Yvonne pursed her lips. "Let''s not bother him. There’s no way that he would miss out on something
this important, so I think he must''ve a n set in ce. Moreover, there are only two people
involved in this auction: Elliot and him. Maybe he won''t end up buying thend either."
"Hm...alright then." Sue nodded slightly after listening to her.
Yvonne picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but she had lost her appetite after that. She
quickly finished the rice in the bowl and carried a thermos container before hurrying out the door to
go t o the nursing home for the old man. 1
When she arrived, she saw that something seemed off about the old man’s expression-he seemed
like he just had a fit.
"Madam, you''re here." Frederick took the thermos container in her hand and greeted her with a
smile.
Yvonne smiled back before pointing at the old man." What''s the matter with Grandpa?"
"Master just met someone horrible," Frederick replied.
Yvonne blinked curiously. "Someone horrible?"
"Yes." Frederick nodded.
Yvonne asked again, "Who?"
Frederick hesitated to tell her, but the old man suddenly said, "It''s the woman from the Conrad
family."
"Conrad family? Jacqueline!" Yvonne''s eyes widened i n shock.
The old man replied, "That’s right."
Yvonne was shocked. "Why did shee here?"
"Who knows? She imed she was here to see me, but in fact she was probably here to see when
I''m going to die. I’m furious." The old man punched the bed angrily.
Yvonne worried that his rage might take a toll on his body, so she quickly changed the subject with a
smile. "It''s fine, Grandpa, since she’s a horrible person, let’s not talk about her anymore. I brought
you chicken soup, so you should have some."
"Okay." The old man’s eyes brightened when he heard i t was chicken soup. He looked on excitedly
as Yvonne served the soup. "Yvonne’s the best, unlike Henry who’s always asking me to have light,
nd, tasteless food." "Henry is also worried about your body, Grandpa." Yvonne smiled and
passed the soup to the old man.
The old man took the bowl of soup from her after a few seconds of silence, and slowly drank it with
a spoon. His movements seemed to be slower than usual.
When Yvonne saw this, she felt a lump in her throat but quickly raised her head slightly to look up at
the ceiling so that she would not lose herposure.
However, Frederick noticed everything and nodded with relief. "Madam, you''ll visit more often in the
future to take care of the old man, soe meet me outside. I''m show you the way around the
nursing home and you won''t have any trouble finding your way in the future."
"Okay," Yvonne responded and nodded to the old man before she headed out after Frederick.
They walked in the corridor as Yvonne turned to look a t the man next to her. "Frederick, did you ask
to see m e intentionally as a distraction?"
Frederick chuckled, "Madam''s very smart."
Yvonne blushed. "No, I believe Grandpa can probably tell from such an obvious hint."
"Yes, I did ask to see you outside intentionally. I actually wanted to ask you, did something happen
yesterday?" Frederick looked at her.
Yvonne''s eyes flickered as she hesitated about telling him everything that went down yesterday.
Frederick saw her reluctance so he smiled and said," Jacqueline came over today and said
something baseless to the old man. She said that the young master is going to marry her in order to
lure out the Lancaster family’s enemy."
"She really said that?" Yvonne stopped abruptly.
Frederick nodded. "Yes, that''s why I’m asking if anything happened to you yesterday, because
Jacqueline said that she went to see the young master yesterday to talk about this, and the young
master agreed."
"He definitely didn''t agree. It''s not like that at all," Yvonne then revealed everything and told
Frederick about what happened yesterday.
After listening to Yvonne, his eyes turned cold. "So that’s what happened. This woman is so
shameless."
’Exactly!’ Yvonne concurred.
Frederick patted her head. "I''m so sorry, madam. You''ve been through so much after marrying into
the Lancaster family."
"I''m fine, I was just a little anxious before I figured out the situation that happened yesterday, but I’m
fine now that I''ve resolved the misunderstanding with Henry," Yvonne stuck out her tongue and
replied calmly.
Frederick put his hand down. "Nevertheless, the young master''s behavior was still a little
inappropriate. Fortunately, he didn''t agree, otherwise master was going to discipline him with a few
more whips."
When Yvonne heard this, she could not help but shiver as she thought of the scene where Henry
got beaten up so bad he was terribly bruised. "Henry won''t and I believe him, but Grandpa..."
"Master won’t either," Frederick said, "The woman was thrown out of the nursing home under the
master''s order and he is not the kind of person who would fake a smile in order to find out the
Lancaster family''s enemy. He''s always been righteous all his life.”
Yvonne touched her nose with embarrassment as she heard this. She felt ashamed that she was
oversensitive.
Frederick did not mean to me her either. He knew that it was because she felt insecure.
"Okay madam, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go, I''ll take you to see master''s doctor,"
Frederick gestured for her to go together with him.
Yvonne nodded and followed him to the doctor''s office.
After seeing the doctor, they returned to the old man''s ward and he had already finished the soup.
Yvonne packed the thermos and saw the old man pointing at the newspaper beside the bed.
Yvonne smiled as she picked up the newspaper and started reading.
By the time she finished reading the newspaper, the old man had already fallen asleep. 1
"Frederick." Yvonne put down the newspaper and whispered to Frederick, "It''ste, so I''ll head back
first ande see Grandpa tomorrow."
Frederick nodded. "Okay, be careful on the road."
Yvonne picked up her bag, got up, and walked out of the ward.
After leaving the ward, she took the elevator to the parking lot to find Luke.
She could not find him, but was stopped by someone instead. "Yvonne!"
This voice...
Yvonne stopped and squinted before turning around slowly. "It''s you?"
She did not sound surprised at all.

Jacqueline stood a few meters away from Yvonne with her arms crossed. "It''s me. You surprised to
see m e?"
Yvonne sneered, "Surprised? Well, it''s quite a surprise. You came here just for me?" "That’s right!"
Jacqueline lifted her chin. "I was waiting for you." "Then you must be really patient for waiting so
long." Yvonne rolled her eyes.
Jacqueline had probably been waiting here since seeing her on her way out after getting thrown out
by the old man.
"Let''s not talk about patience. Aren''t you going to ask me why I''ve been waiting?" Jacqueline''s lips
curled upwards.
Yvonne yawned aloofly, "Not interested."
"How dare you!" Jacqueline was lost for words.
She did not expect this woman to respond like this.
"What''s wrong? If you have nothing to say, I''m going to leave now," Yvonne did not even bother to
look at her a s she was going to leave.
Jacqueline stamped her feet. "You’re not allowed to leave!"
"What exactly do you want?" Yvonne frowned impatiently.
