Jacqueline looked up at her slowly. She didn't answer Yvonne's question but instead asked, "Where's Henry?"
She spoke as if she was the mistress of the villa.
Yvonne frowned uncomfortably, "You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"
"I came here to look for Henry.” Jacqueline placed her teacup down.
"He isn't here.” Yvonne replied coldly as she sat opposite Jacqueline.
Jacqueline's expression instantly soured. "Where did h e go?"
"Why don't you call him and ask him yourself?" Yvonne played with her nails. She didn’t want to give the woman an answer.
Seeing that Yvonne refused to talk to her, Jacqueline's face grew red with anger.
Henry had blacklisted her number long ago.
If she could reach Henry, would she have had to come here personally to ask for him?
Additionally, she couldn't even enter Henry’s company now so she had no chance to see him. Otherwise, she wouldn't come here to attempt to meet him.
"Yvonne, are you sure you're not going to answer me?" Jacqueline narrowed her eyes. There was a hint of coercion in her voice.
"What are you planning?" Yvonne looked at her warily.
Jacqueline laughed humorlessly, "If you honestly tell me where Henry is and when he’ll be back, I won't do anything. Otherwise, I can't promise you that I won't try anything."
She grabbed the fruit knife from the coffee table and drew a small cut on her fingertip.
When Yvonne saw this, she immediately understood the woman's intention. Her fury rose. "You’re threatening me!"
Jacqueline sat on the sofa lazily. "If I don't use any threats, can I get anything done? So, will you answer m e now?"
Yvonne was irate but laughed instead, "Fine. I'll tell you. He is in the company, working overtime. You can go to his company to look for him. You’re not welcome here. Please leave!"
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, Jacqueline's threat worked on her.
If Jacqueline tried to harm herself here, Yvonne might not be able to handle the situation.
There was only one word to describe that woman. Jacqueline was truly despicable!
"I won't leave." Jacqueline placed the fruit knife down and crossed her legs. "I will stay here and wait for Henry to come back." 2
"What's the use of waiting for him here? I don't even know what time he will come hack." Yvonne pointed out.
Jacqueline tidied the synthetic hair on her shoulder," It's alright. I can wait, no matter how long it takes.”
When Yvonne saw Jacqueline's shameless and unrepentant face, it made her feel like vomiting. She even felt that there was a stench around that woman and she felt desperate to get rid of her.
"If you want to wait, please go outside. Don’t wait for him here!"
"Why can't I wait for him here? This is Henry’s villa. It isn't yours, Yvonne." Jacqueline taunted.
Yvonne’s mouth twitched and she answered coldly," But I'm the mistress of this villa, and I don't want you here. You need to go or I’ll call security.”
"Do you think I’d be scared?" Jacqueline folded her arms.
Yvonne took away the fruit knife in front of Jacqueline and removed Jacqueline's means of threatening her. "You really aren’t leaving?" she asked again.
"I'm not leaving!" Jacqueline raised her chin, acting as if Yvonne couldn't do anything to her.
Yvonne sneered inwardly. She turned to Sue and shouted, "Sue, get security! Tell them that there is a trespasser here. Ask them to send their people here."
"Yes, I'm on it!” Sue immediately carried out her order.
