Yvonne covered her mouth in surprise, "Mrs. Lancaster, what are you talking about? How can I have such thoughts?"
"You know very well whether you have such thoughts. You can't lie to me!" Jacqueline looked at her with disdain.
Yvonne looked down. "Mrs. Lancaster, you really misunderstood me. I..."
"I misunderstood you?” Jacqueline strangely interrupted her, "If you don’t have those kind of thoughts, why are you having dinner with my husband?"
Yvonne answered, "Mrs. Lancaster, it's just a business dinner."
Jacqueline folded her arms. "What about last night? You told Henry that I told you not to pester him and not to be a third party. What was that about? I didn’t say anything like that to you on the phone."
Yvonne blinked innocently. "Mrs. Lancaster, you didn't say that, but that’s what you thought, isn't it? I just told Mr. Lancaster what's in your heart. I wasn’t wrong!"
"Oh, trying to be reasonable!" Jacqueline sneered," What do you mean you're not wrong? Do you think I don't know what you're up to? You're just pretending t o be pathetic. You said these words to deliberately slander me and provoke my relationship with Henry. You can't hide this from me. I played this trick a few years ago."
"Is that so?" Yvonne said with a smile, "So this is how i t was..."
"What do you mean by that?" Jacqueline frowned and felt guilty in her heart.
Yvonne propped her head lazily. "It means what I heard is true."
"What did you hear?" Jacqueline squinted viciously.
Yvonne glanced at her fearlessly and sneered in her heart.
This woman had not grown at all after six years. She only used this kind of face to increase her sense of deterrence.
"Nothing much. I heard from the circle that Mrs. Lancaster provoked the relationship between Mr. Lancaster and the previous Mrs. Lancaster, killing her to get her position. I didn't believe it in the first place. I don't think that you’re that kind of person until you said that my means were your play, so I believe it now."
Speaking of this, Yvonne looked at Jacqueline with admiration. "Mrs. Lancaster you're really amazing.”
Jacqueline was terrified and her face became hideous because she panicked. She slammed the table and said, "Nonsense. When did I provoke them and when did I kill that woman?”
She retorted loudly as if a loud voice could increase her credibility.
How could Yvonne not see through her little tricks? Her eyes were full of contempt.
Jacqueline got worse in concealing herself after six years. With a little stimulation, she showed her guilty conscience, making everyone know that something was wrong.
Perhaps she had been a rich madam for six years, so she only knew the pleasure and forgot to be prepared for danger.
However, this was good news. Maybe she could find a n opportunity to intimidate Jacqueline, and she would tell her all the evil things she had done!
Thinking about it, Yvonne’s eyes flickered slightly. She sat up straight and picked up the spoon to stir the corn soup in front of her. Her elegance was pleasing to the eyes.
"Please don’t get angry, Mrs. Lancaster. I didn’t say that, but it's what they're spreading in the circle. Don't you know about this, Mrs. Lancaster?" Yvonne asked while stirring the soup.
Jacqueline's face changed and changed again. It was very funny.
Of course, she didn't know that. Since her wedding with Henry six years ago, apart from the scandal, people in the circle didn't bother to associate with her at all, and Henry didn't allow her to make friends on her own initiative.
So she had never heard a word about her in the circle.
Now she knew that the circle actually said that she's i n the current position after being the other woman and killed the first wife. Although it was true, how did the circle know that she killed Yvonne? How long have these speculations been circulating?"
