Jacqueline had received the full force from Yvonne's slap which was completely expected, and she
fell onto the floor right after.
The incident had attracted a lot of attention-everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered
around to see what had happened.
However, Yvonne could not be bothered about the gazes from other people due to the state of
anger she was in. Only hatred could be seen in her eyes as she looked at Jacqueline who was
covering her face. "You evil bitch!"
She always thought that Dominic was the person who was responsible.
That was why she had not planned for Jacqueline to make amends to her despite Yvonneâs hatred
for her.
Now, she realized how silly she was.
"I'm a b*tch?â Jacqueline got up from the floor. "I admit I am evil, but this all happened because of
you! I gave you a chance to leave Henry, yet you decided to stay. You only have yourself to blame!â
"So what you're saying is, Iâm the one whoâs in the wrong?â asked Yvonne with her finger pointed at
herself, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Jacqueline stretched out her neck and said, "That's right, itâs all your fault!" "You're unbelievable!"
Yvonne shook her head and took two steps back. "Everything you've done to me was all because
Henry married me, am I right?"
Jacqueline coldly laughed as she rubbed her face and replied, "That's right, itâs because of you that
Henry abandoned me. It's because of you that Iâm in this mess now. I told you I would get Henry
back from you. Getting rid of your child was only the beginning."
"You're crazy!" Yvonne threw the contents of the wine glass in her hands at her. "You're completely
insane! I wasn't the reason Henry abandoned you, you abandoned him first! You were separated
because of what you did to him. Plus, I was married to him after you were separated. What right do
you have to say that you want him back!"
"My love for him is all the right I need," said Jacqueline without batting an eyelid. She wiped the
wine off her face.
Yvonne's anger turned to laughter. "Love? Do you really love him?"
Jacquelineâs eyes narrowed and she stared at Yvonne curiously. "What do you mean?"
"You know it yourself. You donât love Henry-you only enjoy his love and care for you. It's because
you're possessive of him and only want him to love you and you only. That's why you will remove
any other woman who tries to get close to him. To you, Henry is
only a tool for you to utilize at your bidding."
The color slightly drained from Jacqueline's face, and her heart began to race.
How did this woman know that she only viewed Henry as a tool and had never loved him?
Yvonne noticed that Jacqueline was silent and her emotions slightly changed. She then knew she
had hit the nail on the head. She also confirmed that what Henry said previously was true.
Jacqueline did not love him, she loved someone else.
Thinking of this, her eyes rolled and she slowly uttered, "Liam!"
"You!" Jacqueline fiercely raised her head to look at Yvonne, and her face completely changed.
"What did you say?"
"Liam!" repeated Yvonne.
Jacqueline began to feel nervous, and her breathing had hastened as well. "How do you know?
Who told you?"
"Guess," mocked Yvonne.
Jacqueline had become so nervous that Yvonneâs constant teasing had agitated her. She grabbed
onto Yvonneâs shoulders and shook her intensely. "Tell me, who told you?"
If Yvonne had known about Liam's existence, then naturally she would know about the relationship
between Liam and herself.
This was definitely bad news for Jacqueline.
She had to get to the bottom of this mystery. Who told the woman?
Yvonne felt nauseated from Jacquelineâs vigorous shaking, and she started to feel faint as well.
She resisted the urge to puke and struggled to break free of Jacquelineâs grasps.
However, she had used too much force during her struggle that she lost her balance and began to
fall backward.
Yvonne had prepared for the worst, that she would fall onto the ground just as Jacqueline had a
moment ago. Suddenly, a pair of strong arms reached out and held onto her to break her fall. Before
she knew it, Yvonne was in the arms of a man.
"Henry?" Yvonne was startled to see who it was that caught her and yelled out his name
subconsciously.
Henry looked at her and gently nodded. After acknowledging Yvonne, he immediately turned to look
at Jacqueline.
Jacqueline immediately gathered her emotions in check, and her face instantly changed from being
filled with hatred to pity. "H-Henry..."
Henry ignored her pitiful looks and asked with a straight face, "What were the both of you doing?â
Yvonne's lips moved, but no sound came out.
It was Jacqueline, however, who secretly shot an evil stare at Yvonne. She then answered with a
soft voice," We were..."
"Enough!â Henry shouted to cut her off. "I donât care what you were doing. Have you thought of the
consequences before making a scene at Mr. Carterâs charity gala? Were you going to fight here if
someone had not informed me earlier?â
Yvonne's face reddened and she felt apologetic for what had happened.
She had not intended to cause a scene on purpose, let alone causing it at the event.
It was all because she could not control herself from being agitated by Jacquelineâs taunts.
Yvonne then took a deep breath before adjusting herself from Henry's grasp. "Henry, could you take
me t o Mr. Carter, please? I would like to apologize to him personally."
Henry couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Yvonne's realization of her mistakes and said, "Sure."
"Thank you," Yvonne sighed in relief.
Jacqueline grew anxious with the development and said, "Henry, I donât think you should take Ms.
Frey to see Mr. Carter. We just caused a scene, and I'm sure M r. Carter would not be happy to see
Ms. Frey at the moment. What if Mr. Carter blames you..."
"You don't have to worry about that." Henry shot her a cold look. "Wait for me at the rest area, I
have something to ask you."
As he finished, he held Yvonne's hand and left to meet Mr. Carter.
Jacqueline was jealous as she saw them leaving and stomped her foot.
He was really bringing Yvonne to meet Mr. Carter.
That would cause her previous efforts to go in vain.
Mr. Carter had refused to meet her just like Master Lancaster. Surely he would notice something
was up. What should she do now?
Yvonne did not understand Jacqueline's concern for not letting her meet up with Mr. Carter. This
had left her confused.
No matter the reason, her actions had made a scene and that was disrespectful to the organizer of
the event.
She was unsure if her apology would be accepted either.
Henry pushed open the VIP room's door and politely called out, "Mr. Carter."
Mr. and Mrs. Carter were sipping on a cup of tea. They put down their teacups and looked towards
the door a s it was opened.
Mr. Carter's expression did not look good when he saw
Yvonne and Henry.
Mrs. Carter, however, had a kind smile on her face, and this relaxed Yvonne a little.
"Mr. Carter, Iâm here with my wife to apologize to you," said Henry as he pushed Yvonne forward.
Yvonne politely bowed and said, "I'm so sorry for causing a scene at your gala. It wasn't intentional.
I'm really sorry..."
"Hmph!â Mr. Carter did not reply to her, nor did he accept her apology.
Yvonne's face went pale. She secretly turned to look at Henry, hoping he would hint at her what she
needed t o do next.
Henry sighed. Just as he was about to stand up for her, Mrs. Carter covered her lips and laughed.
She then pulled Yvonne towards her.
"I believe this is the first time I'm meeting you, am I right?" asked Mrs. Carter with a smile as she
scanned Yvonne.
Yvonne hurriedly nodded. "Yes."
"Relax." Mrs. Carter patted the back of Yvonne's hand." You really do look innocent and pure, just
like Master Lancaster said.â
"Excuse me?" Yvonne was startled.
Henry squinted his eyes. "Excuse me, Mrs. Carter, what do you mean?"
