After hearing this, Yvonne's eyes flickered slightly. " It's close."
Shane held the cup tighter suddenly. "Then Henry and Jacqueline really did..."
Yvonne pursed her lips, then nodded.
Shane put the cup on the coffee table with a bang and pulled a long face. "How can he do this? I told him to treat you well, but he..."
"Well, he was deceived as well." Yvonne forced a big smile, asking him not to be angry.
Shane's anger subsided but his face was still sour. " Even though he was framed, it’s a fact that he cheated. Do you not mind?"
This was the second person who raised the question.
The first was Elliot.
Yvonne wept and laughed, "How can I not mind? What can I do about it? Can I travel back in time to prevent this from happening?"
Shane was speechless by her words. After a while, he sighed heavily, "What's your next move? I know you very well. Since you mind Henry's cheating, you will not forgive him so easily."
Yvonne hummed, "I planned to move out of the villa.
I've promised Grandpa that I will not divorce Henry. But due to the current situation, it's not suitable for m e to stay here with him. Perhaps it'll be better for both of us if we separate for a while."
"Yeah. Do you have a place to go?” Shane asked.
Yvonne knew that he wanted to help her with the accommodation arrangement. She was grateful but she didn't want to trouble him, so she lied, "Yes, I do."
"That's great. When are you moving? Do you need my help?" he asked again, not realizing that she was lying.
Yvonne smiled, "It's alright. I don't have much stuff, so I can handle it." 1
"Alright, since you said so. But I still want to let you know that if you need any help, just let me know and I'll try my best to help you." Shane looked at her with a serious face.
Yvonne was taken aback and nodded subconsciously.
Shane looked at her dazing face and thought that she was cute. He couldn't help but touch her hair.
Yvonne was startled by his actions and she quickly stood up. "You..."
"Sorry!" Shane realized what he was doing earlier and quickly apologized. His eyes looked remorseful and annoyed.
Yvonne couldn't help it and shook her head lightly. "N o worries."
"Glad that you don't mind... I really didn't mean it, it was...."
"Alright, Shane. Let's not talk about it," Yvonne interrupted him.
Shane lowered his eyes. "Okay, I won't say another word anymore."
He sealed his mouth.
The lounge became quiet immediately and the atmosphere was a little awkward, making them feel uncomfortable.
In the end, it was Shane who broke the silence. He couldn't stand it any longer and asked, “By the way, I heard my assistant mention that you searched for me i n the hospital several times when I was away for a seminar abroad?"
He switched the topic.
Yvonne nodded. "Yes."
"What was it about?" Shane looked at her.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds, then answered," It's nothing important. I just heard that you know who Jacqueline's sister is. Is it true?"
"Where did you hear it from?” Shane was shocked.
Yvonne didn't lie to him and answered honestly," From Elliot." "Elliot?" Shane frowned.
This man really was infinitely resourceful.
