Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 397

Henry picked up his jacket and walked towards the door. He replied as he walked, "I won't be at the company during this period of time."

"Why?" Yvonne was slightly surprised.

Henry opened the door and said, "I made a promise with Elliot that I won't appear at the company, and Joe will help publicize the fake news that our company's trade secrets have been stolen."

"Are you trying to lead Shaw to believe that the Lancaster Group is going down so that he will start plotting against the Lancaster Group?" Yvonne could immediately tell what he meant.

Henry lifted his chin. "Yes, only then will Shaw show his true colors, and I can follow the traces he left to get rid of his power bit by bit."

"But do you think it'll work? Why don't you just ask Elliot to reveal Shaw's hideout so you can just confront him directly?" Yvonne didn’t understand why he had to make such a move.

Henry pushed the button on the elevator and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Do you think you can solve everything as if it's all a drama? Catching the thief first and then the king? What I want to do isn't just to get Shaw, but to also bring the entire family down.

The Taylors are influential and it's very complicated.

Even if I manage to get Shaw, there'll be others in the Taylor family who'll take over him."

"Then I guess I understand what you're trying to do. You're saying that even when Shaw is gone, the rest of the Taylor family can take over his power, and they may also use that to take the Lancasters down again, right?" Yvonne blinked to verify.

Henry said, "The Taylors and the Lancasters are already enemies and only one of them can survive. Therefore, in order to resolve the grievances between the Taylors and the Lancasters once and for all, the only way is to remove the Taylors from history.”

When Henry was speaking about this, a cold light flashed in his dark eyes.

Yvonne sighed, "I was too simple-minded. I thought that if you can take down Shaw, you can bring the entire Taylor family down. Anyway, did Elliot tell you about Shaw’s whereabouts?"

"He's at the villa in the north of the city."

"What about Dominic? Is he there too?" Yvonne clasped her hands and asked anxiously.

This was what she really wanted to know.

Henry understood why she was so anxious, but he shook his head regretfully. "He’s abroad. As for Jacqueline...I don’t know yet. There's another thing I want to tell you." "Huh?" Yvonne looked at him. "What’s the matter?" When Henry saw that the elevator had arrived at the selected floor, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out. He then pushed her against the wall next to the elevator.

"You... What are you doing?" Yvonne blushed and looked around to see if there anyone was passing by.

She would be ashamed if there was.

"Haven't you always been bothered about what happened between me and Jacqueline?" Henry stared down at her.

Yvonne's expression stiffened and the blush on her face gradually faded. "What're you trying to say?"

"I want to tell you that nothing happened between Jacqueline and me that day. We just lay on a bed in an intimate position, but as for the traces on my body..." Henry's face suddenly darkened and he gritted his teeth angrily before saying, "They’re Elliot's pinch marks!"

"What?" Yvonne was stunned for a moment and asked for confirmation, "So you're saying nothing happened between you and Jacqueline, and you had marks on you because Elliot pinched you?"

"That kid was there at the time." Henry clenched his fist with his hand on the wall.

Yvonne frowned and looked at him in disbelief. "How did you know he was there?" "He told me, and he showed me the evidence," Henry replied.

Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "Evidence? What evidence?”

"Evidence of him pinching me. He recorded it when h e pinched me." Henry's face became even darker.

Yvonne was in a daze for a few seconds and she finally burst out laughing, "Hahaha... pinched..."

"What are you laughing at?" Henry pursed his lips.

Yvonne was laughing so much that she feared up. She finally stopped laughing after a while and she took a deep breath before replying, "Nothing. When Elliot did it, he probably wanted to blackmail you with this or make fun of you, but he found out that you were his elder brother before he could do that so you should be thankful that he hasn't done it, or you’d be so embarrassed."

Henry snorted in annoyance.

Yvonne rubbed her belly that was aching from laughing too much, "Since he told you all these things, it shows that he already sees you as his brother."

When Henry heard this, his face lit up a little. "He’s a smart guy for recognizing that."

"Come on, you should thank him for proving your innocence. Otherwise, Jacqueline might've done it for real." Yvonne was also very thankful that did not happen.

Fortunately, Elliot was there at that time, and nothing happened between Jacqueline and Henry.
