She didn’t know the grudge and hatred between Yvonne and Jacqueline, so she asked.
Yvonne didn't want to tell her what she meant. She waved her hand and said in an indisputable tone," Just do it."
Lisa sensed Yvonne's displeasure and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She responded quickly," Okay."
Yvonne's expression looked much better. "In addition, there's one more thing you need to ask."
"Please say it, Miss Smith." Lisa looked at her with all ears.
Yvonne seemed to be thinking about something and her eyes were a bit complicated. "Send two teams of people. One team will go to the women’s prison in the north of the city to inquire about someone named Lynette and see how she's been living in the past six years. It's best if they can get some pictures. The other team will go to this place."
As she said so, she picked up her pen and wrote an address on the paper. Then, she tore it off and handed it to Lisa. "Go here and take a look at the couple to see how they're living now.”
Lisa wrote down Yvonne's words carefully. Although she was very curious about who these people were, she didn't dare to ask more questions. She accepted the order respectfully.
"I got it, Miss Smith. I'll arrange for the team and we'll get the news soon."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded faintly. "After you've made the arrangements, get the car ready to meet the client.”
"Alright," Lisa answered again and left.
After she left, Yvonne was busy with work for a while, then she stopped working, got up, put on her coat, and walked out of the office.
It was almost six o'clock after she met the client.
Yvonne dragged her exhausted body back to the office and charged her dead mobile phone.
When her mobile screen turned on, she saw an unread text message from Shane.
Yvonne quickly read the message. There was only one sentence: Theo has received it. Don't worry!
Yvonne’s heart was warm when she read those six words. The exhaustion on her face was alleviated with the smile from her heart.
She hammered the back of her somewhat sore waist and replied with a thank you to Shane.
However, Shane might not have been looking at his mobile phone at the moment. After she sent her thank you message, he didn't reply.
Yvonne wasn't disappointed either. She turned off her mobile phone, pulled out her office chair to sit down, rubbed her swollen eyebrows, and rested.
At this time, Lisa came in with a cup of coffee. "Miss Smith."
Yvonne opened her eyes. "You haven't gotten off work yet?"
"I'm ready to go. I saw that you haven't left, so I made you a cup of coffee." Lisa put the coffee in front of her.
Yvonne smiled, "Thank you."
Lisa waved her hand. "You're welcome, Miss Smith." Yvonne squeezed her hand and took a sip of coffee. Lisa knew that she liked Americano, so every time she made coffee, she didn't add any sugar or cream.
Americano was very bitter. It was so bitter that the tip of her tongue became numb, but Yvonne didn't seem t o feel it. One mouthful after another drink, she soon drank most of it.
Lisa’s heart trembled when she saw Yvonne drinking such bitter coffee so boldly.
"By the way, what you asked me to inquire about has come to fruition, Miss Smith," Lisa said while looking a t Yvonne.
Yvonne put down her coffee when she heard it. "How i s it?"
Lisa took out her mobile phone and pressed it a few times. "Miss Lynette from the women's prison has
performed well during her sentence in the past six years. She also made a contribution last year and was commuted for a year and a half. Here's a picture of her."
With that, she handed her phone over.
Yvonne took it and looked at the phone.
There was a picture of a woman with extreme hair, working out in a light cyan prison uniform.
This woman was indeed Lynette.
After six years, this was the first time Yvonne had seen Lynette, who was once her best friend. It felt like she had been cut off from the outside world for ages.
