Henry looked at Yvonne.
She then explained, "I mean it's such a coincidence that Elliot wants to buy this land too."
"Exactly." Mr. Wright patted his thigh. "Mr. Taylor even specifically came to visit me just for that piece
of land."
"How's your consideration? What do you think?" Henry asked coldly.
Mr. Wright rolled his eyes and replied with a smile, "M r. Lancaster, Iâll tell you the truth. We're all
businessmen and businessmen only pay attention to the profit. If you didnât ask about the land, I'd
just sell i t to Mr. Taylor. But now that you've mentioned it, how about a bid?"
"You want me to bid with Elliot Taylor?" Henry's face sank.
Mr. Wright rubbed his hands shyly and said, "Itâs only fair to do it this way. So, Mr. Lancaster..."
"I'll think about it." Henry stood up.
Yvonne followed him and got up as well.
Mr. Wright nodded. "Mr. Lancaster, since you said that you'll consider it, you're welcome to contact
me at any time."
Henry snorted coldly. He didn't answer or turn down the offer. After putting down his wine glass, he
dragged Yvonne away.
As she walked, Yvonne looked at the face of the man beside her worriedly. "Henry, it was clear that
Mr. Wright wanted to raise the price, so he asked you to bid with Elliot. Why donât you just give up
on that land?"
Henry pressed his thin lips tightly. "I've ordered Joe to check that piece of land for me. Thereâs
nothing wrong with it and the location is good."
"So youâll buy it still?" Yvonne understood what he meant.
Henry's eyes flickered. "We'll see. I'll go to the restroom."
"Okay, go ahead." Yvonne withdrew her hand from his arm.
Henry turned around and walked towards the restroom. Yvonne touched her stomach, feeling a little
hungry. She was going to get some food and have a short rest.
At this time, a familiar voice could be heard from her back. "Is this Miss Frey?â
Yvonne turned over and looked at the person. She opened her mouth in surprise, "Are you... Mr.
Smith?"
After confirming her identity, Sam approached her with a gentlemanly smile on his face. "It's me. Itâs
an honor that Miss Frey still remembers me.â "No.â Yvonne waved her hand. "It's also my honor that
Mr. Smith remembers me. By the way, how long have you been here, Mr. Smith? I didn't see you
earlier."
"I just arrived. There was heavy traffic on the road, so I arrived a little late," Sam explained.
Yvonne finally understood why he was late and said," I see."
"Are you alone, Miss Frey?" Sam asked.
Yvonne shook her head. "My husband just went to the restroom. He should be back..."
"Who are you?" Before she could finish her sentence, Henry's voice could be heard from the other
side with a hint of coldness.
But Yvonne couldnât sense it. She was surprised to see Henry. "Henry, youâre back." 1
Henry ignored her. He walked over to Yvonne and stopped right beside her, squinting at Sam
coldly." Who are you?"
He had just returned from the restroom when he saw Yvonne chatting happily with this man.
He didnât know that she knew such a man behind his back.
"Henry, he's..." Yvonne was about to introduce Sam to Henry when Henry suddenly interrupted her
with his dark face. "Hush."
Yvonne could sense the anger in his voice. She opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.
When Sam saw how Henry treated Yvonne, he couldnât help but frown. His face became colder and
signs of disapproval could be seen. "You're Mr. Lancaster, right? How can you treat your wife this
way? This is really bad."
"I don't need you to remind me of what I have to do," Henry said coldly.
Sam shrugged when he heard what Henry said. "Well, I'm definitely in no place to keep you
reminded, but I hope that you won't treat Miss Frey this way. She's your wife. You should be gentle
to her. You'll hurt her feelings with what you did earlier."
Upon hearing this, Yvonne lowered her head sadly.
As Sam said, indeed she just wanted to happily introduce Sam to Henry. But before she could finish
her sentence, he told her to shut up with his cold voice.
This made her really distressed.
Eventually, Henry noticed Yvonneâs sadness. He pursed his thin lips and said, "You should rest at
the lounge."
Yvonne raised her head again. She looked at Henry, then at Sam.
Sam gave her a slight nod and she left at ease.
"She listens to you, huh," Henry suddenly mocked.
Samâs amber eyes showed signs of delight. "So you're jealous now, Mr. Lancaster. Haha. You have
misunderstood. Thereâs nothing between Mrs.
Lancaster and me. We met by chance and we just had a chat. By the way, I haven't introduced
myself yet. I'm Sam Smith from overseas.â
While talking, he stretched his hand out towards Henry.
Henry looked at Sam's hand and his expression changed slightly. "Smith family from overseas? Are
you the heir of the Smith family?"
"Yes." Sam nodded. "The main reason I came back for this business alliance meeting is that we
want to expand our business to Canada. Can we talk about it i n detail?"
"I don't think we have much to talk about." Henry rejected him coldly.
Sam smiled, "What about the business cooperation between the Lancasters and the Smiths? I
heard that Mr. Lancaster intends to expand overseas while our Smith family intends to get into the
local market. So can we talk about it now?"
There was no doubt that these words piqued Henryâs interest. After looking down and contemplating
for a while, he made a gesture of invitation. "Sure, let's talk about it here." "Mr. Lancaster, please
lead the way." Together, they went to the balcony and started a series of business talks.
After an hour, the two men finally worked out a verbal agreement and they were only waiting for the
contract to be prepared.
"Mr. Lancaster, let's toast for a smooth cooperation." Sam raised a glass to Henry.
Henry didnât turn him down. He responded by raising his wine glass slightly and asked suddenly,
"Mr.
Smith, I remember you mentioned that you met my wife by chance?"
Seeing that he had changed the subject again, Sam couldnât help but chuckle, "Yes, it was...â
Sam told Henry every detail about how he met Yvonne.
After listening, the unhappiness in Henry's heart finally disappeared.
"She's really nosy," he snorted coldly.
Sam smiled again when he heard the words, "Mr.
Lancaster, Miss Frey is kind. The way you treated her earlier wasn't right even if you're jealous. You
should apologize to her."
"You donât need to say that." Henry took a glance at him, placed the wine glass on the table on the
balcony, and walked towards the lounge.
In the lounge, Yvonne walked around anxiously, occasionally taking out her mobile phone to check
the
time or she looked at the doorway.
'It's been an hour and Henry hasnât come over yet.' She wasn't sure if he was quarreling with Sam.
With his temper, it was possible.
Thinking of this, Yvonne squeezed her palms, planning to go out and have a look.
Immediately afterward, she felt a thrust from the door and realized something wasn't right. She
quickly released her hand and took a step back.
When the door was opened, Henry came in from the outside. He saw Yvonne standing at the door.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, âAre you heading out?"
