Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 279

Yvonne slapped her cheeks without thinking. She shouted toward the kitchen after calming down. "Sue."

Sue walked out as she wiped her hands and replied, "I s something the matter, madam?”

“Can you head outside and look? Is Jacqueline actually kneeling outside?" instructed Yvonne.

Sue was awestruck. "Kneeling outside? What's the meaning of this?"

"I'll explain in a bit, but first go check if she's actually there or not," replied Yvonne.

"Alright, I'll head over now." Sue took off her apron and walked towards the villa's entrance.

Two minutes later, Sue returned and her face was dark.

Yvonne asked, "How is it?"

Sue nodded. Her tone was unpleasant as she said," She’s there, kneeling right outside the empty space of our main gates. Many people have gathered around there to see what the commotion is all about and have started talking. At this rate, we'll be on the news come tomorrow."

"She's deliberately doing this!" Yvonne twitched her eyebrows.

Sue asked, "What's this all about madam?”

"She begged Henry to release Dominic and was rejected. She said that she would kneel and beg him until he agrees to do it, which was what you just saw," explained Yvonne.

Sue clenched her fist tightly after understanding the situation. "She is most definitely doing this on purpose. Even if she wanted to kneel and beg, we have so many places in the villa for her to choose from, yet she chose to do it right in front of our main gates which would attract the most attention. She's openly threatening us by making others sympathize with her and question our morality."

"Sacrificing herself in the process," added Yvonne.

Sue nodded in agreement at the realization. "You’re right madam, she's intending to make sir feel sorry for her. What a cunning and manipulative woman. Look a t the lengths she is willing to go to reach her goals, even if it means harming herself in the process!"

Yvonne smiled coldly. "She has always had that trait. Otherwise she would not have been able to make Henry rush to her side on my birthday."

"That's right, this woman is tough to deal with." Sue shook her head. "What should we do now, madam? Should I chase her away?"

"Sue, would you believe me if I said that she'd threaten to kill herself the moment you try and chase her away?" said Yvonne.

Sue froze and replied after a moment, "Is there anything this woman won’t do? This woman has no boundaries!" 1

"If she had one, would she be kneeling outside right now?" Yvonne massaged her temples to ease her headache and said, "Let's go meet her together, Sue."

"What's the point in doing that? We should let her kneel as much as she wants since chasing her away wouldn't work anyway," said Sue unwillingly, yet she continued to follow behind Yvonne as she walked.

Outside of the villa, a gust of cold wind blew. Yvonne wrapped her jacket around her tightly and puffed some hot air from her mouth.

At that moment, a cold drop of water fell on her forehead. It was so cold that Yvonne started to shiver.

She stopped and looked up at the sky.

There was not a single star to be seen in the sky.

Masses of dark clouds had covered the entire sky. It was obvious that a storm was coming.

"Should we turn back madam?"

"It's fine." Yvonne waved her hands to reject Sue's suggestion and continued forwards.

Jacqueline was curled up in a ball as she knelt outside the main gates on the streets. Her eyes immediately lit up and she looked up when she heard footsteps coming her way.

However, the person that appeared was not who she had expected. It was the person she had hated the most. Her expression was immediately filled with hatred.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to ridicule m e?" said Jacqueline in an unpleasant tone.

Yvonne stopped in front of her and said, "You are already a joke, so would my coming to see you personally make any difference? I'm just here to ask you to leave to clear up the traffic here. No matter how long you kneel here, the outcome will only be the same."

"Hmph! I will not leave until I see Henry!" Jacqueline was unfazed.

Yvonne's face darkened. "Would harming yourself make a difference?"

Jacqueline’s eyes lit up. "Harming myself? What are you talking about?"
