Chapter 388 The Past
"It''s nothing." Yvonne waved her hand and smiled reluctantly. "Let''s not talk about this and go tell
Grandpa about finding your brother first so he’ll be happy. We''ll drop by the old ce too."
Henry nced at the time in the lower right corner of theputer, then picked up the coat on the
back of his chair and got up. "Let’s go."
"Okay!" Yvonne got up in joy and followed him after grabbing her bag.
They went to the Lancasters'' cemetery first and spent almost two hours there before making their
way to the old residence.
Frederick didn’t know that they wereing back to the old residence, so he was quite surprised to
see them, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise.
"Young master and Madam, you haven''t been here for a long time now." Frederick greeted the two
of them and invited them to sit down and poured some tea. He said while pouring their tea, "I
thought that after the master passed away, you would leave the old residence and forget about me."
"We would never, Frederick. You’re always on our minds," Yvonne said after taking the teacup.
Frederick gave her a loving look. "Madam is still so sweet, as usual."
"Oh stop it, Frederick." Yvonne touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.
Frederick brought another cup of tea for Henry." Young master, you didn’t juste here to see me,
right? Is there anything important?"
Henry nodded. "There are two things I wanted to ask you. The first thing I want to ask you is about
something that happened in the past."
"Oh?" Frederick was intrigued, "What’s so important that you had toe to the old residence
personally instead of just asking me over the phone?"
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
He nced at the two of them.
Yvonne looked at Henry.
She thought that since the question was about his father, he should talk about it. It did not feel like
her ce to bring that up as a daughter-inw.
Henry also understood the meaning of Yvonne''s gaze, and he did not say anything. He then replied,
"It''s about my father."
"Your father?" Frederick was slightly surprised, but he smiled again, "This is unusual. You''re actually
asking about your father''s past."
Henry gulped nervously, "I want to know what happened between my father and Shaw more than
20 years ago. I remember Grandpa mentioned that my father and Shaw were once best friends, but
over 20 years ago, Shaw suddenly went abroad and my father stopped talking about him. What’s
the story behind this?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Frederick stared at him.
Henry did not avoid his gaze. He looked at Frederick. " Because I found out that the enemy of the
Lancaster family is actually the Taylor family. Recently, all the damages that the Lancasters suffered
was because of the Taylors. It was all part of their revenge!"
"What?!" When Frederick heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy.
He mmed the teacup heavily on the table and sneered, "How dare he try to take revenge!"
"So... Frederick, you know what happened back then?" Yvonne said weakly.
Henry nced at her and his gaze seemed to be telling her that she was right.
Yvonne smiled at him.
She did not expect this to happen either, because it was a wild guess and she just thought that
Frederick should probably know.
She didn''t expect that he actually knew.
Frederick watched the interaction between the two and narrowed his eyes. "Why? Do you also
know something? Otherwise, why would you ask?" "We actually don’t know much. We heard that
Shaw went abroad because he had a fallout with Father, and Father was the one who caused his
disability and infertility. So he went abroad with spite and tried to grow his power abroad so that he
could eventually take revenge on the Lancaster family," Yvonne replied briefly.
Old Frederick''s face was full of anger. "What?! What do you mean the young master caused his
disability? His disability was clearly punishment for his own misconduct!"
Yvonne knew that the young master Frederick mentioned was Henry''s father and not Henry himself.
"Frederick, what happened back then? Please tell me." She was anxious.
Frederick sighed and nodded, "Since you''ve asked, I’ll tell you then. Your father and Shaw were
friends since childhood. Their rtionship was great until they both fell in love with the same girl.
That was when their rtionship began to deteriorate."
When he was talking about this, Frederick looked at Henry.
Henry didn''t have much reaction because through the recording that Yvonne gave him, he already
knew that the girl Frederick mentioned was his mother.
When Frederick realized that his reaction was lukewarm, he looked away and continued, "That girl
is your mother. In this love triangle, your mother ended u p choosing your father, so Shaw was
unwilling to ept that. He asked your father out and said that it was to give them his blessings, but
in reality he was taken over by jealousy and wanted to kill your father."
"How could this be?" Yvonne covered her lips in surprise.
Henry''s expression was also a little gloomy. "What happened after that?"
"They went to a mountain. It happened to be raining that day and Shaw wanted to push your father
down the mountain and make it seem like your father slipped and fell off the cliff on his own. But
fortunately, God is always watching. He didn''t manage to push your father off the cliff. Instead, he
slipped and fell down the cliff."
"That..." Yvonne twitched, "That’s unfortunate."
"Oh, that’s not unfortunate, it’s simply karma biting him in the butt." Frederick sneered, "If your
father wasn''t so soft-hearted, he would probably be dead already. Your father sent someone to look
for him immediately after he returned from the mountain. He went abroad as soon as he was
discharged from the hospital, and originally we thought..."
"Thought what?" Henry grabbed his teacup.
Frederick sighed, "We thought he went abroad because he had no courage to face your father, but
we didn''t expect him to be plotting to avenge the Lancaster family abroad. I really don’t understand
how he could be so shameless. The Lancasters have never even thought about making him pay for
his actions but yet, he was nning to take revenge. He''s such a vicious man!" He mmed the
table angrily.
Yvonne shook her head. "People like him just think differently. In his opinion, everything he did
wasn''t wrong at all and it’s always everybody else''s fault. It makes sense if you put it that way..."
"To put it bluntly, people like him are just narrowminded and selfish," Frederick said in disgust.
Henry looked at him. "Frederick, since you know about this, then Grandpa must''ve known it too. So
why didn''t he tell me the truth when I asked if there was a grudge between my father and Shaw?"
Frederick was silent for a moment, and he smiled helplessly, "Because the master knows your
temper. Once you find out, you''d definitely do something to the Taylors. In fact, master wanted to go
after Shaw and it was your father who stopped him. That was why the master didn''t want to tell you
about it."
Henry grabbed the teacup tightly and said coldly," Grandpa is absolutely clueless. He should''ve told
me right from the start, then the Taylors wouldn''t have been able to attack the Lancaster family the
way they did."
Of course, it was not just his Grandpa that was clueless, but also his father.
If his father knew that his decision to let Shaw go would lead to Hayden being taken away by Shaw,
would he regret it?
When Frederick heard Henry say that the old man was clueless, he was a little frustrated but he did
not say anything back. After all, what he said was correct.
"By the way..." Frederick''s eyes widened as he suddenly remembered something. He looked at
Henry excitedly, "Master."
"What''s the matter?" Henry returned his gaze.
