"It's nothing." Yvonne waved her hand and smiled reluctantly. "Let's not talk about this and go tell Grandpa about finding your brother first so he’ll be happy. We'll drop by the old place too."
Henry glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, then picked up the coat on the back of his chair and got up. "Let’s go."
"Okay!" Yvonne got up in joy and followed him after grabbing her bag.
They went to the Lancasters' cemetery first and spent almost two hours there before making their way to the old residence.
Frederick didn’t know that they were coming back to the old residence, so he was quite surprised to see them, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise.
"Young master and Madam, you haven't been here for a long time now." Frederick greeted the two of them and invited them to sit down and poured some tea. He said while pouring their tea, "I thought that after the master passed away, you would leave the old residence and forget about me."
"We would never, Frederick. You’re always on our minds," Yvonne said after taking the teacup.
Frederick gave her a loving look. "Madam is still so sweet, as usual."
"Oh stop it, Frederick." Yvonne touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.
Frederick brought another cup of tea for Henry." Young master, you didn’t just come here to see me, right? Is there anything important?"
Henry nodded. "There are two things I wanted to ask you. The first thing I want to ask you is about something that happened in the past."
"Oh?" Frederick was intrigued, "What’s so important that you had to come to the old residence personally instead of just asking me over the phone?"
He glanced at the two of them.
Yvonne looked at Henry.
She thought that since the question was about his father, he should talk about it. It did not feel like her place to bring that up as a daughter-in-law.
Henry also understood the meaning of Yvonne's gaze, and he did not say anything. He then replied, "It's about my father."
"Your father?" Frederick was slightly surprised, but he smiled again, "This is unusual. You're actually asking about your father's past."
Henry gulped nervously, "I want to know what happened between my father and Shaw more than 20 years ago. I remember Grandpa mentioned that my father and Shaw were once best friends, but over 20 years ago, Shaw suddenly went abroad and my father stopped talking about him. What’s the story behind this?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Frederick stared at him.
Henry did not avoid his gaze. He looked at Frederick. " Because I found out that the enemy of the Lancaster family is actually the Taylor family. Recently, all the damages that the Lancasters suffered was because of the Taylors. It was all part of their revenge!"
"What?!" When Frederick heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy.
He slammed the teacup heavily on the table and sneered, "How dare he try to take revenge!"
"So... Frederick, you know what happened back then?" Yvonne said weakly.
Henry glanced at her and his gaze seemed to be telling her that she was right.
Yvonne smiled at him.
She did not expect this to happen either, because it was a wild guess and she just thought that Frederick should probably know.
