Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 269

Although she thought that way, Yvonne was still very concerned.

She was worried that Henry would soften up because o f Jacqueline’s plea.

It was a pity that she could only see Jacqueline from her position.

She could not see Henry's facial expression at that moment, so she could only feel nervous and helpless.

"What does the Conrad Group have to do with me?

Now that your father is in prison, that would make you the successor of the company. Wouldn’t your problems be resolved if you went back to the company?” said Henry.

Jacqueline couldn’t believe her ears and looked at him. "You’re asking me to take over the company? Henry, you know I’m only good at dancing and know nothing about managing the company, I..."

"That's your own problem. If you really find that you can’t manage a company on your own, you're free to put the company up for sale.You could even hire a professional to manage the company for you. Enough, that's all I have to say. I will not release Dominic no matter what you do or say. Go home Jacqueline, don't look for me anymore," Henry said as he chased her away.

Jacqueline had hated Henry deeply for being so headstrong and hellbent on revenge, yet she did not dare to show it on her face. Instead, she bit her lip and lowered her head to look pitiful. "I understand, I'm sorry for bothering you Henry."

She knew that Henry would not change his mind and her constant pleas would not even faze him. It might even cause him to despise her even more.

But she was not going to give up easily. She was going to rescue her father no matter what.

She had managed to make him fall in love with her once. She would be able to make him change his mind again this time too-all it would take would be some time.

As she thought of that, a hint of coldness flashed through her eyes and disappeared as soon as it appeared. She held up her head and looked at Henry pitifully.

But Henry was focused on the documents in front of him and paid no attention to her.

Her act had fallen on blind eyes and she almost stomped her foot on the floor.

"I'll be leaving now Henry," said Jacqueline again, desperately trying to gain his attention.

Still, Henry did not look at her and only acknowledged her leave with a sound.

Jacqueline could not help but glare at his cold treatment, then she turned to walk away.

Outside, Yvonne was elated at Henry's commitment to his goal. She was shocked when she caught Jacquline moving towards her through the edge of her eyes. Yvonne quickly straightened herself and stood at the side.

Soon after, the door opened and Jacqueline walked out. She was surprised to find Yvonne standing there just as she was about to close the door.

"Why are you here?" asked Jacqueline with a stern voice.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "I'm his wife. What else would I be doing here? Also, who are you to question me about this Ms. Conrad? If anything, I should be the one asking you that question."

Yvonne's reply had shoved Jacqueline's questions right back down her throat and it enraged her.

"Y-you...” Jacqueline pointed a finger at Yvonne.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow and said, "What about me?"

"I see you've developed a sharp tongue after our last meeting," mocked Jacqueline.

Yvonne stroked her short hair and said, “Thank you for your compliment, but I do think my sharp tongue i s nothing compared to your acting skills. You were crying incessantly a while ago in Henry's office, yet now not a single tear can be seen. You should really win an award for best actress."

Jacqueline was no fool-she could tell that Yvonne was obviously mocking her for her crocodile tears.

However, she was not wrong.

"I see you've been here for quite a while. You heard everything that happened, I suppose?” Jacqueline clenched her fists.

Yvonne nodded. "Almost. I heard you begging for my husband to release your father but was rejected."
