"Actually, I never intended to tell you about this, but..." Elliot seemed to peek at some place from the
corner of his eyes. He raised his voice, "When I discovered that you were unhappy with your
marriage, I changed my mind. I want to snatch you away from him!"
"Nonsense!" Yvonne was angry now. "Who told you that I have an unhappy marriage?"
"Are you happy?" Elliot fixed his eyes on her. "From what I know, you've been married to him for
three years now. But you always live separately from each other. He never goes to meet you. He
doesn't even treat you as his wife because he doesn't love you."
Yvonne was deeply hurt when she heard that. It hurt her so much so that her face became pale. Yet
she still retorted to him stubbornly, "It's none of your business whether or not he loves me. How
could you be so sure about that?"
"Of course I gained this news through my investigation. He had a lover before whose name is
Jacqueline, isnât that right?" Elliot smiled softly.
Yvonneâs face became paler. "You do know that it happened in the past. Since thatâs the case, it's
impossible for them to be a couple now. Besides, Henry told me that there won't be anything
between him and Miss Conrad!"
"Thatâs uncertain. Men always cherish old memories. He could claim that there won't be anything
between him and Jacqueline. But if she uses some kind of trick, you'll be the first person he leaves
behind. Don't you think so?"
Yvonne opened her mouth slightly, unable to say anything in return.
She could not help but admit that what Elliot said was true.
Previously, Jacqueline accused Yvonne wrongly. Henry did not even ask Yvonne about that, and he
chose to believe what Jacqueline said entirely. He claimed that Yvonne was guilty.
How Henry behaved that day proved to her what would happen in the future. If there came a day
when he was asked to choose between her and Jacqueline, she knew very well who he would
choose and who he would abandon.
"Yvonne, you cannot retort to me. Does it mean that you agree with what I said?" Elliot lifted her
chin.
Yvonne tilted her head to the side and dodged away from his head. "So what if what you said is
true? Why do you tell me this?"
"Of course there's a reason behind it. I just want you to divorce him and be with me.â What Elliot
said shocked her tremendously.
Yvonne was deeply shocked. "Be with you?"
"Yes. Mr. Lancaster doesn't love you, but I do. As long a s you choose to be with me, I promise to
be good to you." Elliot used a gentler tone.
Yvonne shook her head. She was about to say something when she heard Henryâs extremely cold
voice from behind her. "Mr. Taylor, itâs none of your business whether I love my wife or not. But how
dare you persuade my wife to divorce me! How could you use such a wicked trick!"
"Henry!" Yvonne turned around to look at him in surprise.
However, Henry did not bother about her. He walked toward Elliot and stopped before him. "Do you
still want to lock my wife in your arms and refuse to let her go?"
Elliot laughed faintly and released Yvonne. "What great timing, Mr. Lancaster."
Henry sneered coldly. "Mr. Taylor, Iâll remember what happened today."
"Mr. Lancaster, are you planning to take revenge on m e?" Elliot smiled faintly as he pretended not
to hear the threat from what he said.
Henry narrowed his ferocious eyes. âI just want to see whether you're capable of enduring that!"
Elliot waved his hands and signed. "It seems like you're serious about it!"
Henry looked at him coldly. Then, he held Yvonneâs
hand. "Letâs go."
Yvonne made no objection. She nodded slightly.
They then turned and left.
Before they disappeared from Elliot's sight, Elliot looked at Yvonne from the back and shouted,
"Yvonne, I hope that youâll consider what I said seriously. I'm quite serious, and I wonât give up.
Besides, Mr.
Lancaster is really not suitable for you. You'll be hurt sooner and later if you stay by his side.â
Yvonne stopped walking for a short while. But she neither turned around nor did she respond to
him.
However, Henry turned around and stared at Elliot ferociously. His entire being was engulfed in
deep wrath.
After that, he vented his anger out on Yvonne. He tightened his grasp on her hand, and it hurt her
wrist.
She screamed in pain, but he did not soften the force around her wrist.
Elliot looked at them as they disappeared from his sight. He did not appear passionate anymore. He
then smirked coldly.
"Father, your guess is right. Henry does hold some feelings for Yvonne. Donât worry, I'll certainly
gain Yvonne's affection. I wonât let the plan fail!" He held his phone up and spoke coldly to the man
on the other side of the phone.
Then, he hung up the phone and left in another
direction.
Outside of the hotel, Henry pulled the door of the car open and shoved Yvonne harshly into the car.
Yvonneâs shoulders hurt from being pressed harshly b y him just now, but she did not dare to
scream aloud.
She knew that he would not be compassionate toward her even though she screamed in pain, just
like what happened just now.
She rubbed her swollen wrists and asked him in an extremely soft voice, "Henry, aren't we
supposed to have our meal with Mr. Taylor?"
Henry got into the car and sneered. "Why? Do you want to?"
"No. Didnât you come here just to treat him to a meal? Don't you think that it's rather rude to leave
like this?"
"If you want to be polite, you can go there alone!â Henry said and opened the lock of the car, asking
her t o get out of the car.
Yvonne's face paled slightly. She stayed in the car. "
Iâm sorry. I shouldn't say such things." 1
Henry sneered coldly. "Yvonne, I really don't know how you captivate him."
"I didnât..." Yvonne retorted.
Henry did not believe her. "Didn't you? If that's the case, why did Elliot say such things?" "I donât
know either..." Yvonne lowered her head.
Henry laughed angrily. "Are you happy about it?â "What am I happy about?"
"There's somebody who loves you!"
"I donât think he loves me." Yvonne looked at him.
Henry drummed his fingers on the steering wheel." Why do you say so?"
Yvonne replied hesitantly. "I just feel that he wants to manipulate me for his gains given that he
persisted in getting my phone number and claimed that he admires me."
"What if you're wrong? He truly..."
"I don't love him!" It was the first time Yvonne interrupted him with such great force. She appeared
serious. "I never think of having any kind of relationship with other men. You need to trust me,
Henry!"
Henry looked at her and pursed his thin lips. He made no reply.
Actually, he trusted her. It was because he witnessed the entire scene when Elliot blocked her at the
washroom. Certainly, he heard her rejecting Elliot.
At that moment, she did not notice him there.
But he was deeply infuriated given that she could charm so many men as she was nothing but
plain. She was not even aware of her charms either. He was also angry at those men for trying to
snatch her away right under his nose. Although he held no feelings for her, it did not mean that he
enjoyed such scenes, i
"It seems like I really need to lock you up in the villa and prohibit you from leaving the villa." Henry
murmured softly. 1
That way, she would not be able to get in touch with the other men, and she would be unable to
captivate them anymore.
Yvonne was scared when she heard that. "Are you indeed going to lock me up, Henry?â
Henry looked at her coldly but made no reply.
Yvonne became much worried. "I'm sorry, Henry.
Please don't lock me up. I won't ever..." 2
"Shut up!" Henry scolded her in a deep voice.
Yvonne trembled slightly and kept quiet immediately.
Henry stretched his hand out toward her. "Give me your phone."
"Here you are." Yvonne obeyed him and handed him the phone.
Henry checked her phone and did not find Elliot's contact number there. He soon became slightly
relaxed.
"Elliot is not easy to deal with. You better donât get in touch with him!" He threw the phone back to
her.
Yvonne caught the phone with both hands. "Alright." After that day, she realized that it was for the
best to avoid Elliot at all costs.
Thinking of how Elliot asked for her contact number, Yvonne suggested, "Henry, why don't you look
into his background?"
