Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 174

"No problem," said Sue as she shook her head. "The Conrads should compensate madam for what she has gone through, but I think madam would not accept it."

"What would I not accept?" Yvonne's voice came from the stairs.

Before Sue could finish her sentence, Henry held the check and walked towards Yvonne, "This is for you."

Yvonne glanced at the check in his hands. Without reaching out for it, she said, "What's the meaning of this?"

"This check is for you from the Conrads to compensate for what they did," explained Henry.

Yvonne tightly grabbed the banister, "This is their way of compensating?"

"Yes."

"Seven hundred thousand dollars, how generous of them!" said Yvonne sarcastically.

Henry reached out for her hand and placed the check i n her palms, "Take it."

"I don't want it!" shouted Yvonne as she threw the check onto the ground without hesitation.

Henry looked at the check which was now and the ground with his eyebrows raised, "Why don't you want

it?"

"Why would I want it?" asked Yvonne.

Henry pursed his lips, "I told you, it's compensation from the Conrads."

"Compensation?" mocked Yvonne, "This is their way o f tying loose ends, buying off my bone marrow and my child with money in the name of compensation so that they don't look like the villain. How convenient for them."

Henry was unhappy with what he had heard. "Can you stop judging, Yvonne? I was the one who asked the Conrads for the compensation, nothing more."

"You asked for it?" asked Yvonne, her pupils contracted as she looked at Henry.

Henry felt very uneasy with how Yvonne was looking a t him, but nodded and answered, "Yes, I did."

"I see." Yvonne bent down to pick up the check, sarcasm written all over her face. "So you had to ask the Conrads for compensation, which also means the Conrads would not have thought of compensating had you not asked for it, correct?"

Henry stood dumbfounded as if he had just realized what he had done. The color began to fade from his face.

A month ago when he had gone to their villa, Dominic had promised to compensate Yvonne for her loss.

However, there was no sign of any form of compensation from Dominic within that month.

Yvonne was probably right. If he had not mentioned it to the Conrads, they would've probably acted as if nothing had happened.

As he thought of this, Henry clenched his fist. "I'm sorry, I had not thought that much before I acted."

"I can’t accept your apology. What was your intention when you asked Dominic Conrad for the check?" said Yvonne as she held the check in her hand, her eyes leered at Henry. "Did you intend to buy me off and hope that I would forget about it and leave it in the past including my hatred?"

Hearing this, Henry's eyebrow arched, "You misunderstand, I don't mean it like that."

"It seems to look that way to me. Otherwise, why would you ask for compensation on my behalf all of a sudden? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Whatever you do now would only seem like part of your scheme, so I do not have any trust in you anymore, Mr. Lancaster." Yvonne slammed the check a t Henry's chest and began to walk downstairs.

Henry caught the falling check and turned around to look at Yvonne's skinny frame. "Do you want the check or not Yvonne?"

"I told you, I will not accept the money that is being used to buy off my bone marrow and my child's life. Let me ask you in return then Mr. Lancaster, would you accept money that has your own blood stained all over it? What's more, the so-called compensation was not given willingly!" said Yvonne in a cold voice as she shook her head.
