Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 205

"About that...” Sue's expression turned awkward.

"Sue, tell me!" Yvonne took her hand, pushing for her t o tell her what had happened.

Sue was in a pickle. "The master has forbidden us from telling anyone madam."

"But Grandpa isn't here now," insisted Yvonne.

No matter what Sue said now, Yvonne wanted to know what had actually happened between Henry and Jacqueline in the past.

"The master isn’t here now, but what if he finds out later..."

"If we both keep it quiet, there's no way Grandpa would find out about it," said Yvonne as she cut Sue off before she could finish.

Sue looked at her deeply for a while and finally gave u p. She took a deep breath and sighed. "Alright, I’ll tell you madam. But madam, I'm only confiding what has happened to you, you mustn’t tell another soul about i t."

"I promise!" said Yvonne as she gleefully smacked her chest.

Sue nodded and began to tell the story, "Three years ago, on the morning of sir’s birthday, Jacqueline had called to ask him out, saying she had a surprise for him. Sir went out immediately without a second thought. Turns out the big surprise she had was to take him out to see the sunrise."

"What happened next?" asked Yvonne eagerly.

"And then the accident happened!" As she said this, Sue's expression turned more bitter.

"After watching the sunrise, a gang of thugs suddenly showed up from nowhere and wanted to rob them since they were dressed like aristocrats. But Jacqueline did something unspeakable just to defend herself..."

"What did she do?" asked Yvonne as she subconsciously held her hands together tightly, her heart racing.

Sue slammed her hands on the armrest and said, "She gave up sir’s identity and said that he was the CEO of the Lancaster Group, pleading them to rob him and let her go. She even pushed sir towards the thugs to run off herself!"

"How could she do such a thing?" Yvonne was so shocked it felt as if she had just crashed and shards of glass were rushing at her.

"Exactly! She actually ran off and left sir alone to die. She didn’t even report the incident to the police nor call the Lancasters immediately. Instead, she went back to her home as if nothing had happened!"

"What about Henry? What happened to him?" Obviously Yvonne was only worried about Henry's

safety.

Sue sighed. "Sir was in very bad condition when we found him. He was lying on the ground alone with bruises all over his body. If we hadn't sent him to the hospital immediately, he might not have made it out alive!"

As she finished, Sue wiped her eyes.

Yvonne's eyes were also red. "How could Jacqueline d o such a thing? Doesn't she love Henry? How could she do something so cruel to him?"

"Love?" Sue started to laugh mockingly. "She loves herself more than she loves anyone else!"

"You're right. If she had actually loved Henry deeply, she couldn't have done such a cruel thing to him." Yvonne nodded to Sue in agreement.

Sue nodded as well. "That's right. I feel that Jacqueline enjoyed being loved by sir more than she loves him."

Yvonne’s heart sank and her lips curved. "What happened in the end? Did Jacqueline and the thugs get what they deserve?"

"Hmph!" snorted Sue angrily. "Jacqueline was never punished for what she did. In fact, she flew away from the country the next day out of fear that either sir or the master would seek revenge against her. As for the thugs, they're still locked up in prison."

Yvonne raised her eyebrows as she heard what was being said, yet she couldn’t understand something." What is Henry thinking? Jacqueline already treated him so cruelly, yet he...”

"Sir is too infatuated with the girl to be able to think clearly.” Sue let out a cold sigh.

Yvonne was startled, but quickly laughed sarcastically. "You're right. He loves her so much that he wouldn't be able to do anything against her. For her sake, he could even forsake his child's life. What else would he not do for her?"

"Madam..." Sue was startled as she realized she had mistakenly said something wrong and shut her eyes a s she was annoyed at herself. "Madam, it's all in the past now. Sir no longer loves Jacqueline. The person h e loves now is you!”

Yvonne's face changed suddenly. "Me?”
