Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 293

"I don't know." Henry put down his glass. “Let's wait for Joe to investigate. Aside from that, the man showed some respect for the Lancasters. That could probably mean that his influence isn't great, possibly o n par with the Lancasters, but hidden in the shadows.”

"Would the perpetrator cause any harm to him then?" Yvonne began to deduce the situation in her head.

Henry caressed her hair. "I doubt so. If the man wanted to go against the Lancasters deliberately, he would not have shown any respect or mercy.”

"That's true." Yvonne nodded and kept quiet after.

Henry suddenly poured her a glass of water. “Don't worry, I won't release Dominic no matter what."

Yvonne nodded and said, "I believe in you."

"Come on, let’s eat." Henry pulled her up from her seat.

The couple walked towards the dining table.

The next morning, Henry left during the wee hours. According to Sue, he was on the way to personally greet a real estate tycoon that had just arrived from overseas to discuss a project for a resort.

Yvonne had not asked for more details. She assumed that Sue would not have the answers even if she asked.

Just as Yvonne walked out of the villa, two men in black suits approached her.

Yvonne scanned both men with a glance and moved sideways to let them walk by-she had not thought too much of it.

However, both men suddenly stopped as they stood right in front of her. Yvonne immediately retreated in defense and had her guard up reflexively.

She had intended to turn around and flee after she had taken two steps back.

The men had not expected Yvonne to react so defensively. They looked at each other for a moment before flanking Yvonne on each side and grabbed each of her arms before carrying her out of the main gates. 1

Yvonne panicked, her facial expression distorted as she began to shout, "Let me go, Let me go. Help me Sue, Help..." 1

Before she could finish shouting, she felt a blunt force on her neck and went unconscious. She did not know what happened after.

"How noisy can this woman be!"

"Forget about it, let's hurry up and get out of here, someone might see us."

Immediately after speaking, the unconscious Yvonne was swiftly taken away with each man carrying her b y her arms.

When Yvonne woke up, she had no clue how long she had been knocked out.

She opened her eyes and realized she was lying on the floor in a dark room. There were no lights in the room for her to scan her surroundings.

"Where am I? What is this place?” muttered Yvonne to herself curiously. She attempted to hold herself up with her arms, but the pain in her neck prevented her from even moving her body.

She took a breath of the cold air to counteract the pain in her neck, then she reached out her hand but realized she couldn't even touch her neck as even the slightest touch would trigger the pain. Her tears began to flow as the pain overwhelmed her.

The man who had knocked her out did not show any mercy!

Creak!

The door began to creak open.

Yvonne put down her hand from her neck and turned t o look at the door to see three figures walking towards her, their faces covered by the darkness.

The two figures on the sides were wearing black suits, so she could tell immediately that they were the ones who had knocked her unconscious and brought her there.

As for the man in between them, Yvonne squinted her eyes to focus. The man was around the same height as her and was dressed strangely. He was slouching and used a cane to maneuver so he was obviously aged.

Of course, that wasn't the most surprising thing. What was surprising was that the old man was wearing a mask.

Was he being so mysterious to hide his true identity from her?

"Who are you?" Yvonne fought back all her fear and glared at the old man.

She knew that the old man was the one making the shots there.

The old man was slightly surprised at Yvonne's calmness and couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times before walking to the sofa in front of her and sitting down. "Aren’t you afraid of me?”
