Yvonne didn’t try to keep it from Henry and she told him about meeting Elliot Taylor during the morning rush hour.
Of course, she didn’t tell him everything such as how Elliot asked her to divorce and the fact that Jacqueline had a sister. Yvonne only told him about the birthmark.
After listening, Henry held his forehead with one hand and he didn't speak for a long time. He seemed t o be immersed in the shock of Elliot’s birthmark.
Seeing him like this, Yvonne knew that he felt very uneasy at the moment.
In fact, she was right.
There was a whirlwind in Henry’s head.
After all, no one could accept the fact that the younger brother whom they had spent a long time looking for turned out to be someone he hated and even tried to sabotage his relationship.
So, his mood was peculiar at the moment.
"Henry." Yvonne stepped forward and asked across the desk, "Do you think he's your brother?"
Henry closed his eyes. “I don't know. But it's possible since you said that he has a red birthmark."
"That's true." Yvonne nodded and said, "If he really is your brother, then he can’t be a Taylor. Does that mean the Taylor family took your brother away?"
Henry squinted his eyes. "The Taylors..."
"By the way, Henry, does the Taylor family have any grudges with the Lancaster family?" Yvonne asked.
Henry shook his head slightly. "I don't know."
"Huh? You don't know?" Yvonne was surprised.
Henry replied, "I haven't heard of any grudges between the Taylor and Lancaster family before. Of course, there may be, but I'm not sure." 1
Yvonne looked at him. "Then are you planning to check on Chairman Taylor and Elliot?"
Henry nodded. "The two biggest wishes that Grandpa has are to hold his great-grandson and get Hayden back. It doesn’t matter if Elliot is Hayden-his birthmark is worth looking into."
"What if we find out that he's not?" Yvonne was a little worried.
Henry took a breath wearily, "Then we’ll keep searching until we find Hayden.”
"Got it." Yvonne nodded as she understood what he meant.
Henry took a sip of his coffee that had completely turned cold. "You should eat first.”
"What about you?" Yvonne asked.
Henry put down his coffee. "I have something else to d o. I'll eat later, you may go first.”
He waved Yvonne away.
Yvonne wanted to persuade him further, telling him that no matter how busy he was, he should continue with work after the meal.
But looking at his persistence, she couldn't continue with what she wanted to say.
Finally, she sighed and went out.
After she left, Henry leaned back in the chair for a while. He then picked up his phone and called the old man.
The old man was taking an afternoon nap when Henry’s call woke him up. He sounded impatient when he picked up the call. "You better have something important to ask, otherwise I won't be easy on you."
"Grandpa," Henry said helplessly. "Grandpa, please be serious. I have something important to talk about."
"Alright. What's the matter? Tell me," the old man snorted, displeased.
Henry's expression became solemn. "Grandpa, let me ask you. Does our family have any resentments with the Taylor family?” “The Taylor family?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you suddenly asking me about this?"
Henry's eyes flashed. "It's for our partnership. We rarely cooperate with the Taylor family, so we have to understand their background." Henry wasn't prepared to tell the truth to the old man at this point in time, just in case it turned out that Elliot was not Hayden.
That would be a hopeless dream. Henry didn't want to see the old man get disappointed again and again.
