At this moment, Henry was driving the car to the Lancaster family residence when his cell phone rang.
"Who is it?" Yvonne stretched her waist and asked.
Henry let her take a glance at the phone and it was an unfamiliar number. She could not help tilting her head. "I don’t know, you didn’t specify the number."
"It’s Mr.Lovett," Henry replied helplessly.
Yvonne frowned. "Him? Why did he call you? And you actually still remember his number?"
"My memory has always been very good." Henry pointed to his temple. He then said, "As for the reason why he called me, I don’t know. Shall we hear him out?"
He asked her for her opinion.
Yvonne nodded. "Okay, you can pick it up."
Henry nodded slightly and answered the call before putting him on speaker.
Mr. Lovett's voice sounded and his tone was filled with remorse. "Chairman Lancaster, I'm sorry, I might break my promise with you."
"Oh?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Lovett sighed, "It's my daughter, Mandy. I originally planned to take her back home today, but I didn't expect that she would... She actually drugged m e and her mother with sleeping pills and ran away after we fell asleep."
"Really." Henry's tone was calm.
Mr. Lovett froze for a moment and in his heart, he thought it was strange that Chairman Lancaster was not surprised at all when he heard that Mandy had run away.
"Chairman Lancaster, do you..."
"What is it?" Henry pursed his lips.
Mr. Lovett shook his head. "It's nothing."
"So why did you call me?" Henry asked impatiently.
Mr. Lovett was silent for two seconds before he said," Here's the thing, Chairman Lancaster, my daughter still doesn't want to give up. I... I don't want to care anymore, so if she does anything in the future, please d o whatever you want to do with her, Chairman Lancaster. You don’t have to ask me."
Yvonne was shocked when she heard that.
Henry narrowed his eyes. "So you mean that even if I want to kill her in the future, I don't have to ask you, and you won't hold me accountable either?"
When Mr. Lovett heard Henry say that he wanted to kill Mandy, his heart trembled, but for the sake of the Lovett family, he nodded heartlessly. "Yes."
Henry curled his lips. "Mr. Lovett is heartless indeed."
"I can't help it. I can't let the Lovett family become a joke," Mr. Lovett replied with a wry smile.
He regretted it. He truly regretted it.
If he knew this would happen, he would not have sent his son away and kept such a troublesome daughter. 2
"If that’s the case, then I get it. I hope your daughter won't actually do anything crazy," Henry said coldly.
Mr. Lovett reluctantly smiled.
After the call ended, Henry put down his cell phone.
Yvonne leaned on the chair and laughed mockingly," Sure enough, the rich don’t care about their family."
Mr. Lovett leaving Mandy reminded Yvonne of Jacqueline and her father.
But the difference was that Jacqueline and her father were the other way around-it was Jacqueline who abandoned Dominic.
"Well, that’s them and we’re us, so let’s not care about them. Let's go, get out of the car first." Henry leaned forward and unbuckled the seat belt for her.
Yvonne hummed and opened the door to get out of the car before entering the family residence with him.
When Sue saw them coming back, she quickly asked," Madam, how was it?"
Yvonne touched her lower abdomen. "The baby is very healthy."
"Really? That's great." Sue nodded with a smile. "Just the right time. Lunch is ready so let's eat."
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too." Yvonne nodded.
"Then you guys can head over first. I'll call Young Master Theo," Sue said as she walked to Theo's study.
Henry hugged Yvonne. "Let's go to the dining room."
Yvonne hummed.
After the meal, Henry went out to go to the Taylor Group, i
As soon as he walked into his own office, Elliot opened the door and walked in.
