Jacqueline was stunned and she couldn't maintain the expression on her face anymore. She became angry. "Henry, what are you talking about? How can I H
"That's enough. You know yourself if that's possible. You're the only one who knows if you did it. I don't want to hear anything else. I want to know this: who asked you to come up? Didn't I say that you're only allowed to stay on the first floor and you can’t come upstairs?" Henry looked at her coldly.
Jacqueline looked away. "I just came up to deliver coffee to you. I don’t mean anything else. I'll go down i f you don't want me here."
Then, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Henry stopped her. "Wait a minute."
Jacqueline stopped and turned around to look at him." Is there anything else?"
Henry didn’t respond. Instead, he walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and squeezed her chin. "How long have you been here?"
"Not... not long."
"You think I'd believe you?" Henry narrowed his eyes coldly. "Lay it. What did you hear?" "I didn't hear anything." Jacqueline looked away with a guilty conscience.
The corner of Henry's mouth twitched cruelly. "Really? Well, if you don't want to say it, then don't you..."
"I’ll say it!" Jacqueline shuddered and immediately gave in. "You need to let go of me first. It’s hard for me to say it like this."
"Don't play any tricks!” Henry released his hand after h e warned her expressionlessly.
Now that he freed her chin, Jacqueline let out a sigh of relief and looked at Henry with a complaint. She then reluctantly said, "I haven't been here long. I only heard that you mentioned Yvonne and said that she may be rescued. Was she really rescued, Henry?"
Henry's eyes were fixated on her as if he was trying to figure out something from her expression.
But she hid it so well. He stared at her for a while and calmly retracted his gaze. "This has nothing to do with you.”
"I know it doesn't matter. I'm just curious. Henry, is m y sister really alive?” Jacqueline asked and her eyes flashed slightly. Her heart was in a mess.
Yvonne was indeed alive when she was in the industrial zone. She even came back three days ago.
Lucky for her, Yvonne came back at the wrong time. She was the only one in the villa at that time, so she could burn Yvonne once again. 1
However, it didn’t seem to go well this time, because until now, she still didn't know whether Yvonne was dead or not.
She had been watching the news on the internet closely for the past three days. There were indeed news reports about the fire that destroyed the building. Strangely, there was no news that the body was found inside. This meant that Yvonne may not be dead yet.
If that was the case, God was too kind to let Yvonne escape three times. This luck of hers was enviable.
"What are you thinking?” Henry approached her and asked coldly when he saw the resentment in Jacqueline's eyes.
Jacqueline was startled and she took a step back. The coffee cup in the tray trembled and two drops splashed on the back of her hand. She screamed that i t was hot and she loosened her grip on the tray subconsciously. Then, the tray in her hand slipped and fell to the ground along with the coffee cup.
The tray was ejected far away, but the coffee cup was even worse. It broke into pieces and the coffee splashed all over the floor, even on Henry's trousers.
For a moment, the air became quiet and depressed.
Jacqueline was so scared that she didn't know what t o do.
Joe was the only one who reacted first. He squatted down quickly to check on Henry's legs. "Mr. Lancaster, are you alright? Did you get burned?"
"I’m fine!” Henry released the trousers that he lifted, and then ordered coldly, "Throw this woman down for me and let Sue come up to clean it."
