Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 267

"Enough!" growled the enraged Henry.

Jacqueline shuddered from the shock and almost dropped her phone.

Henry pursed his lips and said in a cold tone, "Who do you think I am to be threatened by you? Why would you, a stupid evil woman, ask me if my sudden change in decision to send Dominic Conrad to prison was due to others when it is because of your own inability to admit to your own mistakes? So what's the point of asking me any further? Did you think I would let Dominic off the hook?"

Jacqueline was startled.

She never thought she would be branded as evil and stupid.

To make matters worse, the man who was humiliating her had cherished her above all else once upon a time.

She could not accept the humiliation!

"How could you say that to me Henry?" cried Jacqueline incessantly. "Are my suspicions incorrect? If it wasn't Yvonne, why would you send my father to prison? You've changed Henry, you're no longer the Henry Lancaster I used to know."

"You're wrong Jacqueline, I haven't changed, it's you who has changed," corrected Henry.

Yvonne pursed her lips.

Although she had not known personally what Jacqueline was like in the past, she had heard stories about her from Sue and Shane.

Jacqueline had never changed. She was already proficient in acting right from the beginning.

Obviously, it was Henry who was infatuated with her i n the past and failed to see the truth, and hence he said that she had changed.

Henry noticed Yvonne's micro expressions and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Why did she do that?

Why did she shoot a scorned look at him?

"I've changed? You're saying I've changed?” asked Jacqueline. Her words brought Henry back from his thoughts.

Henry coldly pursed his lips. "That's right. You've become evil and selfish. You'd do anything just to achieve your own selfish means. You should be grateful for your illness because that’s the only thing keeping you out of prison with Dominic."

Yvonne was dumbstruck by his words. Unable to believe her ears, she asked him, "Henry, y-you... you were intending to send me to prison as well?" 2

Her voice had become much sharper.

Henry nodded. "Yes, so instead of begging me to

release Dominic from prison, you should be thinking about how you should be making amends for the sins you've committed. Also, I hope you won't do anything foolish to threaten me in releasing Dominic. I'll make him pay an even higher price if you do."

"No... Henry you wouldn’t..."

"I would and I will if I have to, so you should tread carefully," said Henry before she could finish. He then hung up the phone call immediately.

Henry turned off his phone and threw it aside. He then turned to look at Yvonne. "Are you satisfied? I didn't agree to release Dominic despite Jacqueline begging me to."

Yvonne maintained her composure and kept a straight face even though she was elated. "You may have rejected her, but I'm sure she won't give up and will continue to look for you."

"It would only end the same way," said Henry as he sat down.

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "Of course it'd be best if you can keep it going, but I'm still worried that something unexpected might happen.”

"It'll be fine, don't worry. Come, let’s eat together." Henry reached out his hand to her.

Yvonne hurriedly shook her head. "I can't, I've already eaten and am still full, so you go ahead without me."

Her stomach would explode if she had eaten any more.

She had just taken two tablets of probiotics to help ease her digestive issues as she did not want to suffer another attack again.

Henry saw that she had firmly rejected his offer and decided not to force her to. He got up and walked to the dining table himself.

Yvonne picked up the remote control to turn on the television whilst seated on the sofa. That could be passed off as her accompanying Henry for his meal.

Half an hour later, Henry had finished eating.

Henry took out a bottle of red wine and raised the bottle so that Yvonne could see. "Do you want some?”

Yvonne had intended to reject his offer again, but she immediately stopped herself from doing it since she was having a good day and said, "Sure.”
