"I'm not making a fuss!" Jacqueline stomped her feet, then pointed to Yvonne in his arms. "Henry, it’s this woman. She did it on purpose. You have to believe me. She's not a good person at all. She really said those words. I suspect that it’s her plan that I'm here today."
She met the two women walking in front of her when she took Anna for a walk in the villa area last night.
The two women seemed to be chatting, but in fact, they were telling her that Shannon, who looked like Yvonne, was going to appear in the Lancaster Group.
She had never met the two women before, but they could say such things in front of her. Someone obviously instructed them and that person must be Shannon.
Jacqueline stared at Yvonne fiercely and said, "She was the one who let people tell me on purpose that she'd be coming to the company today to irritate me and alienate our marriage.”
Yvonne leaned against Henry and shook her head constantly. "I didn't. I really didn't do this kind of thing. I came here today for a meeting."
Jacqueline sneered, "Then why are you still here after the meeting?"
Yvonne looked at her feet. "It's because I twisted my ankle. I can't walk.”
"You must've planned to twist your ankle just to stay here and then do something with my husband, right?" Jacqueline was sarcastic.
Henry couldn't listen anymore. His temples suddenly burst out. "That’s enough, Jacqueline! Miss Smith twisted her ankle because of the elevator. She’s not as wicked as you said."
Jacqueline's eyes widened. "Henry, don't you believe m e?"
"If you want me to believe you, you have to be reasonable first. However, what you said doesn't even make sense. How can I believe you? What’s more, didn't I tell you to stay in the villa and reflect on yourself? You're not allowed to come out without my permission. Now that you're out, do you think that I won't be angry with you?" Henry stared at her coldly.
Jacqueline's lips trembled. "I..."
"Go back now, I don't want to see you!” Henry pointed t o the door.
Jacqueline's eyes were red and she didn't dare to disobey him. At last, she stomped her feet and walked towards the door.
Only Yvonne and Henry were left in the office.
Yvonne came out of his arms and looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. It's all because of me that you quarreled with Miss Conrad." "It's none of your business.” Henry tidied up his wrinkly sleeve and said faintly, "On average, she causes drama at least once a month."
"Huh?” Yvonne was stunned.
Henry explained, "In the past, as long as there was a woman close to me, she felt that the lady wanted to seduce me and would make a fuss."
"I see." Yvonne nodded with a touch of satisfaction in her eyes. 1
Fortunately, Jacqueline came to make a fuss once a month, so Henry didn't believe her anymore.
Otherwise, Henry would’ve seen through her earlier and known that she was pretending.
Then she wouldn't succeed in separating Jacqueline from him.
She was really thankful to the idiot Jacqueline for digging her own hole.
"Although Miss Conrad makes a fuss every time, this time the quarrel was intense. Mr. Lancaster, you should go to coax her," Yvonne persuaded him with understanding.
Henry pressed his eyebrows. "No, just let her be."
Yvonne resisted the urge to laugh and said, "Is that alright? She's your wife after all."
Henry nodded. "She'll be fine after a while. It's you. Her behavior hurt you just now. I’m sorry."
Yvonne waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. I can understand Miss Conrad. She cares too much about you. So she'll be nervous as long as there's a woman close to you. And I was indeed too close to you just now."
Speaking of this, she thought of something. After her eyes flashed, she lowered her head embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "In fact, I don't understand why. When Jacqueline pulled me off the sofa and wanted to hit me, I was thinking about you. I wanted to lean close to you and felt that as long as I was close to you, I'd feel safe. Perhaps it's because of this, but Miss Conrad misunderstood me and became emotional."
Henry didn't expect Yvonne would say such words. His eyes widened slightly and he looked at her blankly. His heart beat faster.
"You're saying that you feel safe when you’re close to me?" Henry's thin lips opened slightly and his voice became hoarse.
