Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 27

"It's over. I will never be able to pay it off now...” Yvonne looked like she was about to cry.

"Pay off what?" Lynette looked at her in confusion.

Yvonne waved her hands. "Nothing. I'm just saying that my husband must have paid a lot to rent this one and won't be able to pay off the credit card."

"These are rented?”

"Did you think he bought these? If my husband were really wealthy, would I still need to work this hard every day?" Yvonne looked away and smiled dryly.

"Makes sense. I don't usually see you wearing branded goods too." Lynette rubbed her chin, thinking that Yvonne had made a good point.

When Yvonne saw Henry walking up to the stage with a mic in hand, she gently elbowed Lynette, "Alright, let's stop talking, Mr. Lancaster's speech is starting."

Lynette instantly straightened up and closed her mouth at the warning.

On the stage, Henry scanned the audience with his deep eyes and Yvonne briefly wondered if she had mistakenly felt that his gaze had lingered on her for two more than seconds.

“Good evening, everyone. This is Henry Lancaster speaking..." Henry raised the mic and started his

speech.

He first narrated the speech in English, then repeated i t in French to be considerate to the foreign investors i n the audience. He spoke fluent French like a true French noble mesmerizing everyone in the audience.

"I finally know how unfair God is when he created people." Lynette held her face, looking like a love-struck puppy.

Yvonne cast a glance at her. "What do you mean by that?"

"What I'm saying is that God poured his heart into creating Mr. Lancaster while we're probably just something he quickly made out of mud.” i

Yvonne's mouth twitched as she was rendered speechless.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with this metaphor...

"Hey Yvonne," Lynette called her.

She blinked. "What is it?"

"What kind of woman do you think is worthy of a perfect man like Mr. Lancaster?" Lynette asked out of the blue.

Yvonne was taken aback. She lowered her head and couldn't find an answer. "I... I’ve no idea..."

It didn’t matter what kind of woman was worthy of him.

He was already a married man.

However, Yvonne didn't dare to say that.

"I'm guessing that it must be a woman who is as perfect as him. Only a woman with a wealthy family background, a great appearance, and capabilities that can match him is worthy of him," Lynette analyzed.

Yvonne pouted and retorted subconsciously, "I don’t think so! He's already perfect. If he marries a woman who is as perfect as him, then that's no different than him looking into a mirror."

Lynette was taken aback and looked at her with excitement. "What’s wrong with you, Yvonne? I was only casually wondering who is worthy of Mr.

Lancaster, so why did you get so worked up...?"

"I..." Yvonne quickly calmed down. Knowing that she had reacted too aggressively just now, she hurriedly squeezed a smile and explained, "I just thought that M r. Lancaster is already perfect so he probably doesn't need an equally perfect wife, so I..."

"Oh, I see!" Lynette nodded without even a trace of suspicion. "So that’s why you got so worked up just now. For a second, I thought there was something between you and Mr. Lancaster!"

"O-Of course not!" Yvonne clutched her handbag and laughed. "How could I possibly have anything to do with Mr. Lancaster?" "Figures. Why would Mr. Lancaster fancy ordinary

girls like us?" 2

Yvonne frowned, feeling a little wounded. "What’s wrong with being ordinary? Can't an ordinary girl marry Mr. Lancaster?"

"That's not what I meant." Lynette rolled her eyes. "I’m just saying that people like Mr. Lancaster would never be attracted to ordinary girls like us.”
