Chapter 552 Ask You A Question
Yvonne was silently watching everything, but she didn''t pay much attention to it. She was opening a
bottle of red wine and celebrating with Henry in the office.
"I know you can''t drink. You get headaches if you do, s o I''ll only pour you a little. Shouldn''t be a
problem, right?" Yvonne handed a small ss of red wine to Henry.
Henry raised his hand to take it. "No problem."
Yvonne smiled and put down the red wine bottle. She then picked up her ss and sat down beside
him. " That''s good. In order to celebrate our great sess this time, and me getting the Wadkins
Group as I wished, how about a toast?"
She raised her ss and motioned to him.
Henry took a look and didn''t say anything. He clinked her wine ss with his, then raised his head
and drank all the red wine in his ss.
Yvonne noticed that he was cheery, so she raised her eyebrow and did the same as she finished
the wine in her ss.
"The wine is really good," Henry said while ying with the wine ss.
Yvonne took the wine bottle and poured herself another ss as she said proudly, "Of course, this
is from my dad''s collection and he wouldn''t normally give it to anyone, so I really cherish it. I
wouldn''t normally offer this to anyone."
Henry''s eyes shed strangely when he heard that." You wouldn’t normally offer it to anyone, so
why did you offer it to me?"
Yvonne tilted her head and thought out loud. "Maybe because you''re not just anyone."
Henry narrowed his eyes. "Then what kind of person a m I to you?"
"Take a guess." Yvonne smiled mysteriously at him.
Henry drooped his eyelids and said nothing, but he felt some fear in his heart.
He was afraid that it was just his wishful thinking, and the answer was not as he thought.
A hint of difort shed across Yvonne''s eyes when she saw Henry remain silent.
She had already made it so obvious. She had already let him know that she felt different about him,
but he did not say a single word, making it difficult for her to go on with what she was going to say.
"By the way, Henry, why did youe and meet me? I don''t think you came all the way here just to
celebrate my sess at getting the Wadkins Group." Yvonne took a sip of red wine and changed
the subject.
Henry crossed his fingers. "I''m here to ask you a question." "A question?" Yvonne was shocked.
"What''s the question? Why didn''t you ask on the phone?"
Henry''s gaze fell on the red wine bottle on the coffee table, and his voice was calm. "Do you know
why the initiator of the corporate war wanted to deal with thosepanies?"
Yvonne shook her head and pretended not to know. "I asked you about it yesterday, but you refused
to tell m e."
Henry hummed before he said, "I''ll tell you now."
"Really?" Yvonne looked at him with bright eyes.
Henry nodded and slowly told her everything.
What he did not notice when he was talking was that Yvonne''s eyes were shockingly cold and
disdainful.
"I didn''t expect things to be like this at all." Yvonne covered her mouth in surprise. "No wonder the
initiator of the corporate war wanted to take thosepanies down. It turns out that their children
did something so horrible to the child of the initiator.
However, I can understand why the person did it. If it was me, I’d do the same."
Henry furrowed his eyebrows. "I didn''t expect those children to be so cruel."
"They were probably influenced by Anna." Yvonne gave him a side nce.
Henry closed his eyes wearily. "Yeah." "Then what''re you going to do? Anna was the one who led
the other kids in bullying the victim. I still remember what the waiter said to you yesterday. The
initiator of the corporate war asked you to punish Anna. Will you do as she says?" Yvonne lowered
his eyelids and asked in a vague voice as if she was also feeling other emotions.
Henry heard it, but he could not tell what she was hiding. He pursed his lower lip and replied, "She
made a mistake and deserves to be punished, but I don’t know how I should deal with her. She''s
only five years old after all, so this is why I came to ask you a question."
"Do you want me to help you out with Anna''s punishment?" Yvonne was really surprised this time.
Henry nodded. "Yes. If the person who made the mistake is an adult, I''d certainly punish the person
severely, but she''s a child, so I really don’t know how."
"I get it, she''s your daughter after all," Yvonne said, touching her chin.
Henry frowned and corrected her. "My stepdaughter, not daughter."
His biological child was long gone.
"Okay, your stepdaughter. She''s your stepdaughter." Yvonne heard his solemn tone and hurriedly
corrected herself as she was at a loss whether to cry o rugh.
Henry''s frown eased. "Do you have any idea?"
"Well, I don''t know. Like you said, she’s a child after all, and I’m an outsider. How can Ie up
with ideas to punish her?" Yvonne spread out her hands helplessly.
Henry felt his head aching again.
Yvonne looked at him and asked casually, "Where''s Anna now?"
"Locked up in the vi," Henry replied casually without thinking.

Yvonne nodded and quickly remembered this in her heart. She then asked, "What about Miss
Conrad? Does Miss Conrad know about this?"
"She doesn''t know. She hasn''t been in the right state o f mind recently," Henry said with a
complicated expression.
Yvonne heard it and pretended to be curious. "Not in the right state of mind? What happened to
her?"
"It''s nothing." Henry shook his head slightly, obviously not wanting to say more.
Yvonne''s eyes flickered several times, but in the end, she stopped asking more questions. She then
changed the topic back to Anna Lancaster. "You can''t keep Anna locked up like this. You have to
give the initiator of the corporate war an exnation, or else she won''t let it go."
"I know. Let me think about it." Henry touched his forehead, conflicted.
Yvonne lowered her head and said, "You need to do that as soon as possible so that you can calm
the initiator down soon. Otherwise, I''m worried that she might actually take action against Anna
personally. W e can tell from the fate of the enemies''panies that the initiator cares about her
child the most."
Henry knew she was right.
Yvonne continued, "Speaking of which, why is Anna''s personality like that? I think you''re a person
with good morals and values, so it doesn''t look like you’d raise your children to be someone like
that, right?"
Hearing this, Henry''s handsome face sank suddenly, and his voice became much colder, "I didn''t
really raise her. I hardly manage Anna''s education.
Jacqueline practically brought her up."
"Oh?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows, "Anna was brought up by Miss Conrad?"
This was the first time she has heard of it.
She always thought that because he loved Anna Lancaster, he must have been the one who was in
charge of her education. She didn’t expect him to never be involved in her education. This surprised
her.
But on the other hand, if he actually raised Anna Lancaster, she probably would not end up this bad.
"Yes, she’s very protective over Anna. Since Anna was born, she has never allowed anyone to
touch her, and since Anna was not my biological child, I never paid much attention to her, nor did I
care about her way of upbringing. When I found out that Anna''s personality was so twisted, it was
already toote," Henry said softly.
Yvonne whispered, "I see..."
It turned out that he never saw Anna Lancaster as his daughter from the beginning, and he only
cared about herter.
Yvonne felt a little better as she thought of this.
But it only made her feel a little better. It was so little that it was practically insignificant, because no
matter what, it would not change the fact that he still loved Anna Lancaster.
"By the way, who is Anna''s biological father?" Yvonne asked again, pretending to be curious.
