"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, isn’t that right?" Elliot smiled softly.
Yvonne’s face became paler. "You do know that it happened in the past. Since that’s 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!"
"That’s 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.” 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 Henry’s extremely cold voice from behind her. "Mr. Taylor, it’s 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, I’ll 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. “I 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 Yvonne’s
hand. "Let’s 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 you’ll consider what I said seriously. I'm quite serious, and I won’t give up. Besides, Mr.
Lancaster is really not suitable for you. You'll be hurt sooner and later if you stay by his side.”
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. Don’t worry, I'll certainly gain Yvonne's affection. I won’t 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
