As Yvonne thought about this, she hurriedly looked around to search for Henry's location.
However, the lighting of the venue was very dark, and everyone in the room had masks on their faces so she could not tell which one was Henry.
"Are you looking for Mr. Lancaster?" Elliot saw Yvonne searching for something and after thinking for a while, he knew who she was looking for.
Yvonne did not lie to him either, she confessed, "Well, the Conrad company is going to be auctioned so he’d definitely come, but I haven’t found him yet."
"That'd be easy," Elliot said and clapped his hands.
A staff member in a server’s uniform immediately appeared behind him. "Sir, how may I help you?"
"Is Mr. Lancaster of the Lancaster Group coming?" Elliot asked.
Yvonne looked at him dumbfoundedly, and she suddenly felt stupid. 1
She could have just asked the organizer about Henry's location, but she just stupidly looked around to search for him.
So stupid!
"Mr. Lancaster's here already," the staff replied respectfully.
"Then where's his current location?" Elliot asked again.
The staff member pointed to a seat in the front row and quickly retracted his hand.
Elliot smiled and nodded, "I see, thank you."
"You are welcome, sir." The staff bowed slightly and stepped back.
Yvonne looked at Elliot. "Which seat did he point to? I didn't quite see it."
"The one in the middle of the first row is Mr. Lancaster, " Elliot told her.
As soon as Yvonne heard it, she immediately looked towards the first row. This time she had Henry's exact location, and she saw him there indeed.
He was sitting with his back facing towards her, and h e was several rows away.
Although she could not see his face, she could tell from the familiar back that it was Henry, and the one o n his left was Joe.
"Mr. Lancaster probably came here to bid for the Conrads’ company," Elliot said suddenly, touching his chin.
Yvonne glanced at him and set her eyes on Henry's back. "You’re probably here for that too." "You knew?" Elliot raised his eyebrows.
Yvonne pouted and explained, "When you mentioned the company just now, your eyes seemed a little different. So I had a feeling you came here for this tonight."
Elliot smiled, "You’re actually observing me. That's right, my intention is the same as Mr. Lancaster, and that is for the Conrads' company. Winning the company will make our group go further."
"So you must win the company tonight?" Yvonne asked.
Elliot stretched his back. "Not necessarily. If Mr. Lancaster hadn't come, the Conrads' company would’ve been in my pocket already. But now that he's also there, the chances of me winning the auction are obviously much smaller. How about you go and help m e persuade Mr. Lancaster so that he can give up the Conrads' company?"
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me? What should I say? Also, I'm still giving him the silent treatment, so you should just have a fair competition with him."
"Tsk, what a heartless woman!" Elliot propped his head up. "You secretly wish for Mr. Lancaster to get the company, don’t you?"
He was right and Yvonne coughed awkwardly, "Um... Anyway, he's still my husband, so..."
"Forget it. No matter what, Mr. Lancaster is the most important thing in your heart." Elliot was a little
unhappy.
Yvonne's eyes drooped because it was true that no matter what, Henry was the most important person in her heart. Even if he made a mistake and broke her heart, he was the one she cared about the most as long as she still loved him.
