Henry looked at him with his dark eyes. "Get lost!"
Elliot pretended not to hear and smiled at Henry to provoke him. "Mr. Lancaster, this place doesn’t belong to you so you don’t have the right to make me leave.”
"Enough!" Yvonne pulled Elliot's sleeve. "Don't mess with him. It does you no good."
"Are you concerned about me?" Elliot smiled at her.
Yvonne frowned, "Seriously? By the way, why are you here? Is the auction over?"
"Yeah, the auction is over. I came to look for you since you haven't returned but I didn't expect to hear some interesting things." Elliot glanced at Henry with a smile.
"No wonder. So you won the Conrad company?" Yvonne nodded and asked.
Elliot sighed with regret pretentiously, "I can't win against Mr. Lancaster."
"What do you mean?" Yvonne was taken aback for a moment, then she finally understood. She opened her mouth slightly, "You...didn't get the company?"
"Yes, it was sold to the special assistant next to Mr. Lancaster." Elliot spread his hands.
Henry looked at the two of them talking and completely ignoring him. There was rage in his eyes." Are you guys done?"
His voice was as cold as the ice on a snow-capped mountain.
Yvonne knew that Henry had reached his limits so she should not talk to Elliot any more. She looked away and said, "We’re done."
"Since you're done, come back with me!" Henry reached out for her.
Yvonne glanced at his hand and shook her head as she stepped back. "Sorry, I won’t go back with you!"
"Yes, Mr. Lancaster." Elliot moved a step to the right to protect Yvonne who was standing behind him and looked at Henry with a playful smile. "Although you're husband and wife and I shouldn't interfere with your affairs, Yvonne lives with me now and she's also my date for this event. I have an obligation to help her solve her problems. Since she doesn't want to go back with you, you shouldn't force her then. You can go back by yourself."
What Elliot said had undoubtedly stirred Henry and it made him even colder.
His sullen gaze swept across Elliot and he finally fixated it on Yvonne's face. "Yvonne, I'll ask you again, are you sure you don’t want to go back?"
When Yvonne heard his question, her heart trembled and she felt a little uneasy. She felt like giving in subconsciously.
However, she thought about the fact that he had not admitted his mistake with Jacqueline, so she suppressed her anxiety and nodded stiffly. "Yes, I won't go back with you. Before you come up with a solution to our current situation, I think it's better for u s not to see each other so we can both calm down first. " 1
After that, she made up her mind and stopped looking at him as she walked past him.
But shortly after, she stopped again, and she did not look back. "When you have a solution, just call me and I’ll come meet you. Goodbye!"
She grasped the strap of her purse on her shoulders and left once again.
