Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 116

Thinking that he had succeeded, Jason's eyes were blinking in dollar signs as he nodded in fervor. "I'm sure. Henry, are you really giving me money?"

"I am!" The smirk hanging at the corner of Henry’s lips grew deeper.

Yvonne panicked as she thought that he was really going to give Jason money. "Henry, you can't..."

Henry immediately warned her with his eyes, his gaze saying, "Shut up!"

Clamping her mouth shut, Yvonne ceased making any sound while Henry shifted his attention back to the phone.

Jason's excitement was oozing from the line. "Henry, you’re a great man. How much are you giving me?"

Henry was so rich. He was a billionaire. He would at least be giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? Once Jason thought of that, he shook in ecstasy.

In spite of it, Henry gave him a bucket of ice water." However much you want but the premise is that you g o to prison for a few years first!"

"What?" Jason was thrown off guard.

"I said, as long as you go to jail, I'll give you money,”

Henry repeated patiently.

A chill crept through Jason. "Henry, you're joking, aren't you?"

"Who are you to me? Do you think I'd joke about this with you? I told your mom the same thing. If you dare ask money from your sister again, I'll throw you into jail. So are you picking jail time or money?” Henry asked airily.

It sounded like a devil's threat to Jason. "You - you... You're the one who said it?"

"It's me," Henry sang.

Yvonne's tense body relaxed at once. She actually thought that he was going to give Jason money.

"Henry, how could you do this to me? Why would you make me go to jail?" Jason's cover was blown as he exploded there and then.

He received a jeer from Henry. "Just because you Freys have your eyes set on my assets, that’s why.

This alone warrants me to throw you in prison but I’m letting you off the hook because of your sister. Money o r jail time?"

Jason spat through his anger. "You win this time, Lancaster!"

He hung up, his choice was obvious.

He was not a fool. No one would opt to go to prison when they had freedom to enjoy.

"Looks like he isn't too stupid.” Henry returned

Yvonne's phone.

Yvonne received it with both hands and asked," Henry, why did you suddenly come down?"

"Sue went up to fetch me saying that Jason was harassing you," Henry answered, faintly crossing his legs.

Yvonne smiled wryly. "Sorry, I've caused you trouble again.”

"Not a big deal on my part. I think it’s annoying that h e calls you anyway." Henry averted his gaze.

Yvonne was slightly startled. "But I took the call in the living room. You shouldn't have heard it from the study upstairs?"

Henry’s temple throbbed as his face fell. "Alright, that's not important. The matter at hand is... are you planning to keep this up forever?"

"What do you mean?" Yvonne did not quite understand him.
