Henry looked at the woman with his cold eyes. "Where have you been?"
"I-I went out for a walk," Jacqueline replied reluctantly with a smile.
A hint of mockery flashed in Henry's eyes.
Was this woman treating him like a fool?
"Didn't I tell you that you can live here, but you're not allowed to take a step outside? Are you turning a deaf ear to me?" Henry stood up and walked up to Jacqueline.
Jacqueline took a step back. "No, no. I remember. I just went out to do something, so..."
"What's that smell on you?" Henry interrupted her. He smelled an unusual smell when he approached her.
Jacqueline heard what he said. She raised her arm and sniffed it. "I don't smell anything?"
"Sir, she’s lying. She smells like gasoline!" Sue said when she came over and sniffed at Jacqueline.
Henry's eyes flickered. "Gasoline? Why do you have this smell on your body? What have you done?"
Jacqueline didn't expect that she still smelled of gasoline and she was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
But in order to not reveal anything, she quickly adjusted her expression and emotions. She waved her hand and said, "Didn't I just say? I went out for a stroll and then the car ran out of gas. I went to the gas station to refuel. I think that's what got on my body at that time."
“Oh, I never heard that you can smell of gasoline when you refuel at a gas station. Did you refuel it by yourself?” Sue said sarcastically.
Jacqueline was angry.
This old lady was deliberately targeting her, right?
Wait for it. She would teach this old lady a lesson sooner or later!
She swore secretly in her heart, but Jacqueline answered softly and weakly, "No, but I was in contact with the staff at the gas station. They reeked of gasoline."
"You mean they passed the smell onto you?" Sue rolled her eyes.
Jacqueline's expression was distorted for a moment and she wanted to hit the old lady.
"Alright, put the gasoline matter aside," Henry interrupted the quarrel between the old and the young. He stared at Jacqueline with his deep eyes as i f he could see through Jacqueline. "How do you know Sam?" "Sam?" Jacqueline frowned suspiciously. "Henry,
who's Sam?"
The name was familiar.
"You don't know?"
"I don't know!" Jacqueline shook her head.
Henry raised his eyebrows slightly and looked deeply into her eyes as if he was determining whether she really didn't know him or if she was lying.
But in the end, it seemed to be the former.
She really didn't know him!
"Just forget it if you don't know," Henry lowered his eyes and said faintly.
Since this woman didn't know Sam, he had nothing else to ask her.
If he wanted to know how Sam met Jacqueline and what kind of relationship Sam had with Jacqueline, h e would have to look at the results of Joe's investigation.
"Where's her room?" Henry asked Sue when turned around, not paying attention to Jacqueline.
Sue pointed upstairs. "It's next to your and madam's room."
It was there!
Henry frowned unhappily with a displeased expression. "She's not allowed to stay there. That's not where she lives.”
That room was reserved for Yvonne and his child.
