"No, I just want to check the news on the internet," Yvonne replied as she took the phone and
unlocked it. When she saw there was a missed call, she was slightly surprised.
"What's the matter, madam?" Sue asked.
Yvonne tapped on the missed call. "Someone called."
"Who called? I didn't hear any calls."
"A friend. My phone was on silent so you probably didn't hear it." Yvonne smiled and dialed the
number.
The phone quickly connected and there was a man's soft voice. "Miss Frey."
"Mr. Smith," Yvonne greeted the man on the other end of the call and said apologetically, "I'm really
sorry, Mr. Smith. I didn't hear your previous call. May I ask what this call is regarding?"
Sam smiled on the other end of the phone. "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you remember our
agreement?"
"Agreement?" Yvonne was taken aback but she immediately remembered. She lightly tapped her
head. "I do remember."
"That's good. I'm going back to Canada," Sam said.
Yvonne was surprised. "Youâre going back to Canada?
When?" "In five days," Sam said.
Yvonne bit her lip and thought for a few seconds." That soon?"
"I've finished my work in Vancouver and I initially planned to leave in two weeks, but my
grandmother's been ill for two days, so I decided to go back early. Will you be able to come with me
in five days, Miss Frey?" Sam asked. 1
"Five days..." Yvonne bit her finger nervously.
Sam heard the hesitation in her tone and chuckled as he did not want to force her, "Well, you can
think about it for the next five days and give me an answer once you know."
"Okay," Yvonne responded with embarrassment.
After the call ended, she put her phone aside.
Sue poured her a glass of water, "Madam, was it Mr. Smith from the Smith family?"
Yvonne took the glass and nodded. "It was him."
"Why did he call you?" Sue was very curious.
She couldn't hear the call, but when she saw Yvonne's hesitation, she knew something must have
happened.
Yvonne gulped as she felt conflicted. "He wants me to go abroad and do him a favor." "Go abroad?"
Sue was stunned. She said with a serious expression, "Sir will not agree." "I know, but I promised
Sam to go with him from the very beginning, and he's helped me so I canât refuse." Yvonne
scratched her hair agitatedly.
Sue looked at her. "Then there's nothing you can do about it. Sir will definitely not let you go abroad
with someone. Moreover, it's a man. Also, Shaw hasn't been captured yet so if you go abroad,
Shaw might target you. No matter how capable sir is, there'll always be places he can't reach when
you're abroad."
"I know, thatâs why I'm struggling." Yvonne put down the glass of water and leaned tiredly on the
pillow as she stared blankly at the TV on the wall.
"Initially, I promised to go abroad with Sam around the beginning of next month. By that time, Henry
should've solved everything already, so I don't have to worry when I go abroad. However, I never
expected Sam to actually come back early, and it happens to be when Henry is trying to capture
Shaw."
It was precisely because of this reason that she hesitated to go with Sam. 1
She was afraid that things might happen as Sue had mentioned. She could be targeted by Shaw
when she was abroad at this crucial time, and that would cause Henry trouble.
"I donât know what Mr. Smith is thinking about. I believe he should know about the situation between
the Lancaster family and the Taylor family, but he still wants you to go abroad with him at times like
this. I wonder if he has any motives," Sue complained.
Yvonne smiled, "Enough, Sue. Don't think too much about it. His grandmother is sick so thatâs why
he asked me to go with him earlier."
"Go with who?" Henry's voice suddenly came from the door.
Yvonne kept a straight face and shook her head quickly. "It's nothing. I was just chatting with Sue,
right?"
She winked at Sue secretly.
Sue coughed slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, sir. W e were talking about the TV."
"Really?" Henry narrowed his eyes suspiciously and walked towards them.
When Yvonne saw him getting closer, she started picking her fingers as she felt guilty. She hurriedly
changed the subject. "By the way, Henry, why are you here? Didn't Joe see you to tell you
something?"
Henry could immediately tell how she was avoiding the subject. His eyes became dark but he did
not expose her. He went along and said, "We got Dominic, s o I came to ask you if youâd like to go
see him?"
"What are you talking about?" Yvonne's expression changed and her eyes were filled with
excitement." Dominic was caught?" "Yeah, we brought him back already." Henry lifted his chin.
Yvonne lifted the blanket and got out of bed. "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
She urged excitedly.
Henry looked at her as she ran around anxiously without even wearing shoes. His face suddenly
darkened. "Put on your shoes!"
"Huh?" Yvonne was stunned.
Henry tried to be patient as he pointed at her feet.
Yvonne looked down and saw that her tender bare feet were on the white floor tiles and her toes
were red from the cold, but she didn't seem to feel anything.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I'll put them on right away." Yvonne bent down and dragged her shoes out from
under the bed to put them on before going to the bathroom to wash her hands. After she came out,
she looked at Henry eagerly.
Henry rubbed his temples and turned around to walk towards the door.
Yvonne squeezed her palms and hurriedly followed.
Dominic was held captive in the old Conrads' villa by Henry.
It was Yvonne's first time here. She stood in front of the villa and raised her head slightly as she
looked at the seemingly old villa. She was unable to take her eyes off it for a long time.
It was not until Henry spoke that she finally lowered her head, which made it difficult to see the
expression on her face.
"How long has this villa... been here?" Yvonne asked i n a muffled voice.
Henry glanced at her and replied, "It's been more than 20 years. This is an old villa."
"20 years..." Yvonne repeated the number in a low voice. Soon, there was anger in her eyes. "In
other words, this villa was bought by Dominic and... his first wife?"
When Henry heard this, he could tell what she was thinking about and answered, "Yes."
"Hah!" Yvonne laughed mockingly as a fit of sudden anger built up in her chest and she breathed
heavily. " What a joke. A house he bought with his first wife, but he ended up living with the other
woman and her daughter!"
Why?
Why was the house of her biological mother taken away by Jacqueline and her mother!
She must take revenge on Dominic. She must!
"Okay." Henry took Yvonne's hand and squeezed it gently. "Don't be angry, it's bad for the baby."
"How can I not be angry?" Yvonne clenched her fists tightly and her fists were trembling because
she was too agitated. She gritted her teeth and said bitterly," Henry, if it was you who had a father
that betrayed your mother, and he even found another woman and allowed her to move into your
house with her illegitimate child, would you be happy?"
Henry's thin lips were pressed tightly and he did not answer.
Yvonne shook his hand away. "Look, your silence has explained everything. Youâd clearly be angry
too, so how can I calm down? Itâs obvious that everything Jacqueline and her mother enjoyed
should belong to m e and my biological mother, but just because her mother was a homewrecker,
my mother was killed in a car accident and I had to live with the Frey family..."
Speaking of this, she raised her head and inhaled while holding back her tears. "Iâm not going to let
this go, Henry. I simply wonât!" "What do you want to do?" Henry looked at her deeply.
