His simple question made Jacqueline feel as though she had just fallen into an ice cellar. Her face started t o pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Henry... what are you talking about? Who is Liam?"
"You're denying it?" Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Did you think I would send you and your father abroad without anyone keeping an eye on both of you? I have already figured out everything between you and Liam. He is the man whom you have loved since the beginning, right?!"
"I..." Jacqueline stepped back subconsciously. Her legs turned weak from guilt. After staggering two steps backward, she fell to the ground on her bottom.
He knew it!
He actually found out everything!
No wonder he was so cold to her when she came back this time. So this was the reason.
An icy look flashed across Henry's eyes when he saw the flustered look on her face. "Seems like I hit the nail on the head. You've never loved me since the beginning. You only stayed with me for the benefits that the Lancasters could bring to the Conrads. And you came back looking for me this time to use me to find a suitable bone marrow for you." "I... I..." Jacqueline's eyes flickered with guilt, unable to even come up with any excuses.
Henry shut his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with nothing but coldness. "It's ridiculous that I never found out anything until now."
"Henry..."
"Enough. Save your breath." Henry looked down at her coldly. "I have no intention of getting back at you for playing with feelings. I just don’t understand. If the man you loved all this while was Liam, then why did you come back to interfere with my marriage and why did you keep talking about getting back together with me? What is your intention?"
Jacqueline gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Could she say that it was simply because she didn’t want other women hanging around him?
She didn't love him, but she also didn't want other women to be by his side, let alone allowing him to fall i n love with another woman.
She was the only one that he was allowed to love and treat nicely! Hence, Yvonne Frey was a threat to her position and she had to get rid of her!
Henry was starting to lose his patience at Jacqueline's silence. "It's fine if you don’t want to tell. But since I already found out that you were only using me, I have no reason to treat you as I did before. Let’s talk about how you came up with the scheme that killed my child."
"What?" Jacqueline’s mind went blank. She even thought her ears were playing tricks on her.
Killed his child?
Did he even find out that it was her idea?
It turned out that Jacqueline had guessed it right.
Henry repeated all the things she said to Yvonne at the gala earlier.
Her face paled as she listened. "Henry, is that what Yvonne told you?"
He nodded. "Yes, I asked her what happened between both of you at the gala."
"So you believe her?"
"Yes, I believe her."
"How can you believe her?!" Jacqueline shrieked.
"Henry, you can't believe her! She's lying! I didn’t tell her all those things! She's deceiving you!" Jacqueline was extremely worked up.
Henry looked at her as though she was a fool. "Well, w e can always get a lipreading expert to review the CCTV footage and find out if you indeed told her all those things."
Jacqueline was dumbfounded. Her face was ashen as she felt her soul being sucked out of her body.
Henry crossed his arms, feeling extremely disappointed at Jacqueline. "Now, let's see if you have
something else to say?"
He never thought that Jacqueline would be the mastermind and not Dominic. She was the one who had someone forcefully take Yvonne’s bone marrow and aborted the child in her womb.
At best, Dominic was just an executioner.
To think that he once even considered forgiving Dominic for fear that she would do foolish things to herself. Thinking about it now, he realized just how stupid he was!
