As Yvonne thought about this, she hurriedly looked around to search for Henry's location.
However, the lighting of the venue was very dark, and everyone in the room had masks on their
faces so she could not tell which one was Henry.
"Are you looking for Mr. Lancaster?" Elliot saw Yvonne searching for something and after thinking
for a while, he knew who she was looking for.
Yvonne did not lie to him either, she confessed, "Well, the Conrad company is going to be auctioned
so heâd definitely come, but I havenât found him yet."
"That'd be easy," Elliot said and clapped his hands.
A staff member in a serverâs uniform immediately appeared behind him. "Sir, how may I help you?"
"Is Mr. Lancaster of the Lancaster Group coming?" Elliot asked.
Yvonne looked at him dumbfoundedly, and she suddenly felt stupid. 1
She could have just asked the organizer about Henry's location, but she just stupidly looked around
to search for him.
So stupid!
"Mr. Lancaster's here already," the staff replied respectfully.
"Then where's his current location?" Elliot asked again.
The staff member pointed to a seat in the front row and quickly retracted his hand.
Elliot smiled and nodded, "I see, thank you."
"You are welcome, sir." The staff bowed slightly and stepped back.
Yvonne looked at Elliot. "Which seat did he point to? I didn't quite see it."
"The one in the middle of the first row is Mr. Lancaster, " Elliot told her.
As soon as Yvonne heard it, she immediately looked towards the first row. This time she had
Henry's exact location, and she saw him there indeed.
He was sitting with his back facing towards her, and h e was several rows away.
Although she could not see his face, she could tell from the familiar back that it was Henry, and the
one o n his left was Joe.
"Mr. Lancaster probably came here to bid for the Conradsâ company," Elliot said suddenly, touching
his chin.
Yvonne glanced at him and set her eyes on Henry's back. "Youâre probably here for that too." "You
knew?" Elliot raised his eyebrows.
Yvonne pouted and explained, "When you mentioned the company just now, your eyes seemed a
little different. So I had a feeling you came here for this tonight."
Elliot smiled, "Youâre actually observing me. That's right, my intention is the same as Mr. Lancaster,
and that is for the Conrads' company. Winning the company will make our group go further."
"So you must win the company tonight?" Yvonne asked.
Elliot stretched his back. "Not necessarily. If Mr. Lancaster hadn't come, the Conrads' company
wouldâve been in my pocket already. But now that he's also there, the chances of me winning the
auction are obviously much smaller. How about you go and help m e persuade Mr. Lancaster so
that he can give up the Conrads' company?"
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me? What should I say? Also, I'm still giving him the silent
treatment, so you should just have a fair competition with him."
"Tsk, what a heartless woman!" Elliot propped his head up. "You secretly wish for Mr. Lancaster to
get the company, donât you?"
He was right and Yvonne coughed awkwardly, "Um... Anyway, he's still my husband, so..."
"Forget it. No matter what, Mr. Lancaster is the most important thing in your heart." Elliot was a little
unhappy.
Yvonne's eyes drooped because it was true that no matter what, Henry was the most important
person in her heart. Even if he made a mistake and broke her heart, he was the one she cared
about the most as long as she still loved him.
Thus, she certainly hoped that he could get the company just as he wished.
As Yvonne thought about this, she raised her gaze and stared at Henry's back.
Maybe because she was staring too intently, but Henry became vaguely aware of it.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked back to see a woman staring at him.
The woman was wearing a red dress with a delicate fox mask on her face. Although he could not
see her face, she felt familiar.
"Yvonne!" Henry narrowed his eyes and muttered her name in a deep voice.
Although Yvonne could not hear what he was saying, the look in his eyes surprised her.
Her heart was beating fast and she quickly avoided eye contact.
Elliot noticed her abnormal state and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong?" "Henry!" Yvonne
lowered her head and whispered, "He seems to recognize me." "Mr. Lancaster saw you?" Elliot was
slightly surprised.
Yvonne nodded. "Maybe I stared at him for too long, and since he's always been vigilant, he
actually noticed."
Elliot could not help but smile, "Isn't this a good thing? If he didn't recognize you, youâd be sad."
"A good thing?!" Yvonne rolled her eyes anxiously. "If h e recognizes me, heâll definitely recognize
you, and he can definitely tell that Iâm here as your date. I donât know what he might do."
"So you're actually worried about me?" Elliot leaned closer to her.
Yvonne pushed his face away. "You're thinking too much. I'm just worried about myself. Anyway, do
me a favor and check if heâs still looking at me?" 1
"Okay, let me take a look." Elliot looked towards the first row.
Two seconds later, he calmly looked back, "Well, I'm pretty sure that he did recognize us, and heâs
still staring at us now. His expression doesn't seem too good." 1
Yvonne put her hand on her forehead. "I knew it... I need to go to the washroom!"
She wanted to wash her face and calm herself down s o that she could deal with Henry later.
Since Henry had recognized her and Elliot, he would definitely look for her after the auction was
over.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Elliot asked.
Yvonne waved her hand. "No need. Don't you want to bid for the company? It's the next item up for
auction. You can stay here and I can go by myself.â
After that, she got up and left the auction hall quietly.
In the bathroom, Yvonne stood in front of the sink and took two handfuls of cold water and splashed
it on her face.
She shivered because of the icy water, but it also calmed her restless heart.
She looked at herself in the mirror and her face looked exhausted even with makeup on. There
were some faint dark circles under her eyes and she looked like she had no energy at all.
"That won't work!" Yvonne muttered, then she took a paper towel out from her purse to dry the
water on her face before putting on some lipstick.
She then took a closer look at herself and after feeling better about herself, she put her mask back
on as she was about to leave the bathroom and return to the auction hall.
However, just as she walked out of the bathroom, a figure suddenly appeared from her right.
The figure moved quickly and before she could see who it was, the figure grabbed her wrist and
pushed her back against the wall forcefully.
She was startled and when she was just about to scream, a big hand suddenly covered her mouth
and whispered, "Don't scream!"
The familiar voice and smell of men's perfume took Yvonne by surprise.
She did not expect that the figure holding her would b e him!
Henry!
