At the time, in the parking lot of the nursing home, Jacqueline told her before leaving that she would let her experience betrayal from the people around her.
So didn't Lynette just betray her?
Yvonne started breathing heavily as she thought about this. She stared at Lynette's phone, wishing she could slap Jacqueline through it.
"So I was just a pawn for you to get revenge against Yvonne," Lynette laughed at herself, full of sorrow. "So your promise for me and my family to settle abroad was a lie?"
"Obviously?" Jacqueline started playing with her hair and responded lazily, "I don’t have the means to let you leave Vancouver. It's controlled by the Lancaster family. I thought you were dumb but I can’t believe you actually bought it, idiot!"
After speaking, she hung up mercilessly.
Lynette was silent for a while but she suddenly smashed her phone against the wall with a grim face.
With a clatter, the phone broke and shattered into pieces.
Her sudden change shocked Yvonne.
She quickly looked at Lynette and she saw her crouch down on the ground. She curled herself into a ball like she did on the bed before, and buried her head between her knees while wailing and crying.
She knew why Lynette was crying, but she did not know how to comfort her, nor did she want to.
After all, it was Lynette's choice to have done it. She sympathized, but it did not mean forgiveness.
Since she did not intend to forgive her, why bother comforting her?
"Lynette, now you know how wrong it was to do what you did. Not only did you betray our friendship, you almost killed someone, and Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger can’t come back to their country either. A home they can’t come back to. Are you happy now?" Yvonne looked down at Lynette blankly and spoke coldly.
Lynette stiffened for a moment and did not answer her -she cried louder instead.
Yvonne sighed and shook her head as she walked out the door.
After leaving the suite, she looked at Henry. "Henry, I know you want to get revenge against Lynette, but let's leave it for today. She found out the truth and she’s emotionally broken right now. Your sudden appearance might make her do something stupid, so let’s come back tomorrow and I won't stop you from doing whatever you want."
Henry met Yvonne's gaze and it took him several seconds before looking away. "I hope this is not an excuse for you to help her escape."
"No way, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to distinguish between right and wrong. If you do something wrong, you should be punished, and I can't let Grandpa down. If you don't trust me, you can send someone here to watch over her," Yvonne pouted as she spoke-she was a little unhappy. 1
He actually thought she wanted to give Lynette time t o escape.
"No need, let's go." Henry turned and walked towards the elevator.
Yvonne looked at him with resentment.
What did he mean?
Did he believe her or not?
She did not understand, but she did not have to think about it either. After greeting the two bodyguards, she ran after Henry.
Back at the villa, it was already afternoon.
After Henry went upstairs and changed his clothes, he answered the phone and went out again.
She felt a little sad seeing him so busy. She couldn't help him with anything.
"Madam." Sue came over with a glass of milk.
Yvonne calmed down and smiled at her. "What's the matter?" "How's the master?"
Yvonne recalled the old man's weak body and pale face, and shook her head slightly.
Sue sighed, "God will take care of the Conrad family."
"Okay Sue, that’s enough." Yvonne patted the back of her hand. "Grandpa will be fine."
"I hope so. Didn't they say that master still needs to go through gastric lavage surgery?" Sue was worried.
Yvonne lowered her eyes. "When's the operation?"
"It seems to be the day after tomorrow," Sue answered after thinking for a while.
Yvonne scrunched her hair. "It's a little rushed." 1
