"Frederick said that he knew you wouldn't let him go, and he said he'll stay with the condition that you’ll divorce Jacqueline." Sue conveyed Frederick's message to Henry.
Henry's eyelids drooped and he said, "We’ll talk about this later. I'll ask someone to try to persuade Frederick, and you can stay out of it."
"Okay." Sue nodded, but deep down, she was very disappointed.
She didn't expect that even after Frederick threatened Henry, he still refused to divorce Jacqueline.
She didn't understand it at all!
Although sir had lost all his memories of falling in love with his wife and even restored his feelings for Jacqueline, the way he treated Jacqueline for the past five years didn't seem like he loved her at all!
"I'll go to the study room to deal with some things. Please make me a pot of tea." Henry tugged on his necktie and walked upstairs.
Sue replied at the foot of the stairs and she couldn't help sighing.
Obviously, he had forgotten everything about falling in love with his wife, but he still kept his habit of drinking tea to refresh himself.
She didn't know what to say.
Henry had no idea what Sue was thinking about. He stood at the foot of the stairs on the third floor and glanced in the direction of the children's room before walking towards his study.
After entering the study, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
The phone quickly connected, and Joe yawned, "Mr. Lancaster, what's the matter?"
"Did I bother you?" Henry pulled a chair and sat down.
Joe quickly got up and shook his head. "No, no. I'm just a little sleepy."
Henry said, "There’s something I need you to do."
"Go on." Joe listened carefully.
Henry pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You made the reservation for the French restaurant tonight. I need you to ask the restaurant owner for a list of their customers tonight."
He had to find out who that woman was.
Otherwise, he wouldn't stop thinking about it.
"Customer list?" Joe was puzzled as he wondered what it was for.
"Yes, I'll give you half an hour. If you get the list, I’ll double your bonus this month." Henry gave him a sweet deal.
Joe's eyes immediately gleamed and he agreed without hesitation.
Half an hour later, Joe called, "Mr. Lancaster, I've already sent the list to your email. Remember to read i t." 1
"Okay." Henry nodded lightly and moved the phone away from his ear. He turned on the speaker and then left it on the table as he picked up the mouse and started going through his emails.
After a minute, he finally opened the email.
Henry scrolled the mouse to check the long list of names, trying to find the familiar name.
However, when he got to the bottom of the list, he didn't see the name, but Shane's name was on it.
Sure enough, Shane was at that restaurant.
So Shane might have also seen the woman who looked just like Yvonne.
As Henry thought about this, he hung up on Joe and called Shane instead. This was the first time he had called Shane in recent years.
At the hotel, Shane bid his farewell to Yvonne, and when he was about to leave, the phone in his pocket started ringing.
He took the phone out of his pocket while he was walking towards the door.
After taking out his phone, he looked at the screen as h
e usually would. 1
When he saw Henry’s name on the screen, he squeaked in surprise.
Yvonne heard him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shane stopped in his tracks and turned around as he showed her the phone. "Look who’s calling!"
"Henry?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes when she saw his name on the phone screen.
Shane took the phone back and said, "Yes, it's him. I didn't expect him to call me. This is the first time he’s called since our fall out."
