Henry glanced at her. When he was about to say something, the doorbell rang, interrupting him.
He looked at the entrance unpleasantly and pressed his thin lips into a straight line.
Yvonne was quite disappointed. She thought that he had gone after her to provide an explanation.
Unfortunately...
Thinking about it, Yvonne sadly stared at the door.
Joe came in with a briefcase and he saw the frustration in the couple's eyes. He was taken aback and asked, "Um... was I supposed to show up?"
Yvonne curled her lips and said nothing.
Henry raised his hand. "Have you figured it out?"
"Yes, I’ve figured it out," Joe nodded his head and answered in a serious manner.
"Alright. Say it in front of her then." Henry pointed at Yvonne.
Yvonne blinked in confusion. "What?"
"Let me explain, madam," Joe explained with a smile while tilting his glasses. "What happened this morning was a misunderstanding. After you left, Mr. Lancaster asked me to gather some evidence and here they are."
Speaking of this, he took the briefcase from his arm and took out a hard disk from there. "Sue, do you have a computer?"
Sue responded quickly, "Yes, I'll go and get it now."
After speaking, she ran upstairs.
After a while, she came down with a computer.
Joe took the computer, inserted the hard disk, and clicked into a folder.
Yvonne looked at Joe who was sitting on the sofa, quietly sipping his tea. Then, she walked behind Joe and focused on the computer screen. 1
"Madam, Mr. Lancaster knew that you'd have misunderstood since you ran away. So, I brought the surveillance video of Mr. Lancaster's office. As you can see, nothing is going on between Mr. Lancaster and Jacqueline." Joe fast-forward the footage while speaking.
The video was about ten minutes long. After watching, nothing happened between Mr. Lancaster and Jacqueline and they were not standing close to each other. But Yvonne still felt unsatisfied.
"This footage shows it all. But I don't know about the conversation between Mr. Lancaster and Jacqueline i n the office..." Joe turned off the computer and looked at Henry helplessly.
Henry lifted his chin slightly. "I've already explained it to her."
Joe looked surprised.
He was surprised that Henry took the initiative in explaining things to people which he never did before.
In the past, Mr. Lancaster was arrogant and stubborn. Regardless of any situation, he would never explain or bother about other people’s feelings. He hurt a lot of people unknowingly, but now...
Thinking of this, Joe looked at Yvonne with admiration.
Yvonne was uncomfortable with his stare. She bit her lower lip and said, "He did explain it to me, but I believe that the conversation in the office was a coverup to locate Dominic. I still don't believe that the hug was an accident."
Although Henry said he was helping Jacqueline, she just didn’t want to believe it.
It was very misleading.
"Hug?" Joe was confused. "Mr. Lancaster, you hugged Jacqueline?"
Henry's face immediately turned black. "Get someone t o send the surveillance of the corridor over to see if it i s true."
"Okay," Joe answered and called immediately as per Henry's command.
While waiting for the video, Yvonne began to feel uneasy.
She began to wonder if she had misunderstood Henry.
After all, he was not afraid of showing her the video.
But...
As she was thinking, Joe suddenly patted his thigh." It's here."
Yvonne cleared her mind and looked at Joe, unaware o f when he turned on his computer again. A video was loading on the computer, which should be the surveillance video outside Henry's office.
"Watch closely and see if I'm helping or hugging her," Henry said abruptly.
