"I don’t." Yvonne shook her head.
Henry did not answer, but took the old man's urn from Frederick expressionlessly and walked outside the funeral home.
Yvonne looked at his back and pursed her mouth tightly. "He hasn’t said a word since yesterday."
"What can he say? He was the one who caused master's death, so he probably feels extremely guilty now," Frederick sighed.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched. "I can tell."
"Madam, you..."
"Huh?" Yvonne looked at him puzzled.
Frederick's eyes flickered. "Will you forgive sir for what happened between him and Jacqueline?"
Yvonne was silent when she heard this.
To be honest, she had never thought about it.
She was just an ordinary woman who would care, feel jealous, and envious. Her husband cheated, and she couldn't pretend as if nothing ever happened.
Moreover, deep down she was a clean freak. Whenever she thought about Henry having intimate contact with other women during their marriage, she felt sick, especially because the woman was the one she hated
most.
Yvonne shook her head and answered truthfully, "I don't know if I’ll forgive him. I only know that I won't for the time being. As for the future...who knows?"
She smiled bitterly.
"Sigh..." Frederick sighed again, "Sir was also tricked. I asked Joe and he said that when sir went to meet the woman, he didn't expect the woman to have lit an aphrodisiac fragrance in the room, and that’s why he fell for it."
"Aphrodisiac fragrance in the room?" Yvonne frowned, "So, Jacqueline knew in advance that Henry would go look for her? Otherwise, why would she light that fragrance?"
Frederick heard her doubts, and he was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Yes, Joe said that the phone you got from the young lady, Ms. Yaeger, had a listening device. That’s why Jacqueline knew that sir was going to meet her that day."
"Listening device?" Yvonne's pupils suddenly shrank, and she raised her voice in surprise.
Frederick nodded. "Yes, Joe just discovered this last night. He also wondered why Jacqueline knew in advance that sir was going to meet her, so he investigated."
"I see." Yvonne clenched her fist and her face went pale. "So, I was the one who caused the tragedy. If I didn't bring the phone back, maybe this wouldn't have
happened?"
Frederick glanced at her, sighed, and shook his head without speaking.
He couldn't say that all of these things had nothing to do with her, but even though she was not the person who caused the tragedy, she did bring the phone back.
If she did not bring it back, all these events might not have happened.
"Frederick... I didn't know there was a listening device on the phone. If I knew, I wouldn't have brought it back, I..." Yvonne covered her face as she felt guilty and remorseful. 3
Frederick patted her on the shoulder. "It's all in the past, so what's the point of saying this now? Madam, you should compose yourself and get prepared to arrange master’s funeral."
After speaking, Frederick did not stay long. He turned around and left.
Yvonne was left there alone. Her thin shoulders were drooping and she seemed depressed.
When Sue saw her, she was crouched on the ground and sobbing.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Sue asked eagerly.
Yvonne cried without answering.
Sue was anxious. "Talk to me, madam." "Sue..." Yvonne raised her head and looked at her desperately. "I think I'm the one who killed Grandpa."
"Why would you say that?" Sue was surprised.
Yvonne told her about the listening device that was installed on the phone.
