Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 98

"Did you ask Henry to tell me what he did?" Jacqueline shrieked emotionally. 1

Yvonne frowned but understood what she meant swiftly.

Henry had gone to Jacqueline to tell her that they were no longer able to get back together and Jacqueline thought that she was the one who asked Henry to say it.

"Miss Conrad, you’ve misunderstood. I'm not that capable and I'm not able to ask Henry to tell you what he did either. It was Henry’s intention," Yvonne explained plainly.

Jacqueline would never believe her. Her voice was laced with resentment. "Impossible! Henry would never do that. It's gotta be you!"

"It has nothing to do with me. I've already made myself clear. I can't help it if Miss Conrad refuses to believe me." Yvonne's shoulders sagged.

Jacqueline cackled menacingly. "Yvonne Frey, don't feel so happy. Even when Henry told me that, I won't let go. He's mine, and he can only be mine!"

Even when she did not love Henry, Henry Lancaster could only be hers! She would never allow another woman to have him. 1

In addition, she wanted to prove to that person that she did not lack elite men around her. She was going t o use Henry to make that person regret ever abandoning her!

"I'm sorry, Miss Conrad. You're wrong. Henry was yours, but he's now my husband, so he's mine now," Yvonne replied with a scowl.

How could a husband-stealer be so flagrant now! She was a debutante too but this was how she was carrying herself, impatiently wanting to become a mistress! 1

Yvonne's words were a blatant provocation to Jacqueline as she screamed angrily, "Yvonne Frey, Henry isn’t yours. He'll never be yours. You're just an ordinary woman without knowledge, abilities, and looks. You don't even deserve him!" 1

"You're right. I'm unworthy of him now, but so what? I'll better myself and I’ll be worthy to stand by his side," Yvonne rebuffed. 1

She could not help smiling in anticipation when she thought about Henry looking for an etiquette coach for her. To be worthy of him and to stand side by side with him, she had to excel and enhance herself. It was best to surpass Jacqueline! 2

"Better yourself?" It was like Jacqueline heard the world's biggest joke when she heard what Yvonne said. She ridiculed, "Yvonne Frey, you're fantasizing now. Do you think you can refine yourself just because you want to? Without a family background in support, you won't be worthy of Henry even when you've become better. You'll always be a notch lower than Henry in front of him!" 2

Yvonne’s brows knitted together tightly. "Maybe you're right, but compared to Miss Conrad, I think a family background isn’t so important."

"What do you mean?" Jacqueline's eyes were spitting fire.

Yvonne smiled. "I mean, no matter how well a family does, it won't be a support if the education it provides can't keep up. It'll only be a burden. I can’t figure it out. How did the Conrads nurture a two-faced daughter like you, Miss Conrad?"

Her words were piercing.

Jacqueline gritted her teeth. "Yvonne Frey, you're only sharp-tongued. I can't win over an argument but I’ll have you know that no matter how you transform yourself, you can't change the fact that Henry has me i n his heart. Just you wait, I won’t give up. I'll make you and Henry divorce!"

"Aren’t you afraid of me telling these things to Henry?" Yvonne’s grip on her phone tightened as she got angry as well.

She had never seen such a shameless upper-class girl. She was actually thinking about committing to becoming a mistress and replacing her, a legitimate wife!

Sue was right. The daughter would follow her mother's steps.

Yvonne had thought that she was too much with her jabs at the Conrads just now but it seemed like her blow was too light now.

"Then tell him." Jacqueline giggled eerily, not at all scared of Yvonne’s threat. Instead, she said airily, "See if Henry will believe you."

Speechless from it, Yvonne bit her lips. "You're leveraging Henry's feelings for you, but nothing in this world can be hidden forever. You're flawless and pure i n Henry's mind, but one day he will discover your true character."

She hung up with a huff after that, refusing to talk any more to the woman. It did not mean much to continue the conversation. As long as Henry did not bring up the topic of divorce, she would not let Jacqueline get her way.

Making the decision inwardly, Yvonne gripped her fists and went back upstairs.

Two days later, Yvonne was sorting through the information that was needed in the meeting later in her office when Joe came in through the door.

"Miss Frey, are you busy?"
