Getting humiliated like that made Dominic angry and a trace of maliciousness quickly flashed through his eyes, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of emotion on his face.
He twisted his fat body and moved his chin away from Henry's shoes as he said nonchalantly, "Hen... Henry, I didn't really betray you, right?"
"Really?" Henry adjusted his posture and looked down at him ironically. "For so many years, the Conrads' company achieved their success with my support. All the partners who were working with the Conrads also did it because of the Lancaster Group. This means that in the business, the Conrads and the Lancasters go hand in hand, but you..."
At this point, Henry suddenly sneered and frowned.
He turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him. "What were you doing just now?"
Yvonne didn't change her expression as she withdrew the hand that was pinching his waist. She said lightly, "Nothing, I just wanted to punish you."
That was for helping the Conrads after all these years.
"Punish?" Henry whispered. After a little thought, he figured out what she meant by punishment.
"You're so petty." He squeezed her face.
Yvonne patted his hand. "I'm not petty. I don't really care about which company you support because it has nothing to do with me, but I just can't deal with you supporting the Conrads’ company so I'm definitely not happy."
When Dominic who was laying on the ground heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Yvonne. His eyes were unspeakably complicated; there was anger, dissatisfaction, and a hint of emotion that no one could understand...
"Don't worry, I won’t upset you." Henry squeezed Yvonne's hand and assured her.
Yvonne snorted and said nothing.
Henry turned his gaze back to Dominic, and the tenderness on his face immediately dissipated as he turned emotionless. "For years, the Conrads have relied on the Lancasters for benefits and I think you probably know that. I’m not even asking the Conrads t o help the Lancasters in any way, but how could you turn your head and side with the Lancasters’ enemy instead? Why should I save those who betrayed me?"
Dominic was speechless when Henry said that. His visibly aged face immediately flushed, and he was out of breath.
"I won't save Jacqueline. I don’t care if she’s dead or alive, so if you’re looking for someone to save her, you’re looking for the wrong guy."
Henry's words ruined all hope Dominic had left and h e was completely flustered. "Henry, you can't do this. I know we’ve done you wrong, but Jackie had a relationship with you and after all that, can't you save her for the sake of your past relationship? Do you really have the heart to let her die?"
"Yeah, do you really?" Yvonne went along with Dominic's words and stared at the man.
She also wanted to know the answer.
Just as Dominic said, Jacqueline had been with him and they had a relationship. Most men would find those past relationships the most unforgettable ones.
Therefore, she really wanted to know if he really had the heart to not save Jacqueline.
Yvonne’s sudden question took Dominic by surprise.
He didn't know that Yvonne was trying to test Henry's attitude towards Jacqueline, and he thought she was actually helping him persuade Henry to save Jacqueline.
There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes that were staring at Yvonne with a complicated expression.
"Yes, Henry. You can’t just ignore it, right?" Dominic moved closer to Henry again. "I know you still have feelings for Jackie. As long as you save Jackie, I will d o whatever you want me to do. I promise. I only have one daughter and that’s Jackie-I can't lose her."
He pretended to be pleading, in hopes to move Henry.
Henry was not impressed, but Yvonne became very
upset.
She stood up and turned to look at the man beside her. "Henry, can you go out?"
"What?" Henry raised his gaze and stared at her.
