Yvonne didn't marry Henry for his money. She only married him because she had secretly admired
him for many years.
"I think you need it."
Henry's expression turned ugly. No one had ever refused him this directly.
"By the way, I still need to look for my mom. Can you send me there?"
She had been out for so long and didn't even know if her mother would still be waiting in the
hospital. Maybe she had gone home already.
"Sure."
Henry turned the car around and sent her directly to her mother's house. Out of courtesy, he also
got out of his car and accompanied Yvonne.
Yvonne clutched her bag awkwardly. Although they had been married for so long, this was the first
time Henry accompanied her home.
"Are we there yet?"
"Almost! Almost!"
Yvonne increased her pace and blushed, not daring to look at Henry's face.
By the time they arrived, the front door was left ajar. Yvonne pushed open the door. "Mom, are you
back?" "What took you so long?! Did you manage to get the money back? Show me!"
Yvonneâs mother came out from the room then reached out for her bag, failing to notice Henry who
was following behind Yvonne.
She took out all the money in her daughterâs bag. Her face turned black as soon as she finished
counting." Only a few thousand dollars? How are you going to help your younger brother with this
little money? I'm really starting to wonder if you even care about him at all!"
"Mom, this is all the money I have in my bank card! How's Jason? Should I go and check on him?â
"What is there to check on?" Her mother rolled her eyes at her. "Your brother didnât actually crash
his car. He's been doing stock trading with a few friends and lost nearly a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars due to a stock market crash. Why donât you ask Henry for the money? Youâve
been married to him anyway, so his money is naturally yours!"
"Mom!"
Yvonne paled. She didn't expect her mother to say these things so naturally, she wasnât able to stop
her i n time.
Oh no! Henry must have heard it too!
Yvonne turned her head around in a panic, wanting to close the door so badly and shut him out of
the house. She had no idea what Henry would think of her after this.
"A hundred and fifty thousand dollars, right?â
In her panic, the man's distinctive deep voice came from outside. Soon after that, a tall figure
emerged next to her and swept his cold gaze over her.
Yvonne lowered her head in embarrassment. She wished she could tell him that it was all just a
misunderstanding... but how could she help her younger brother without a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars? 2
Did she have other options apart from asking Henry to lend her money?
"Oh my. You're here too, Henry? Yvonne, you should have told me earlier!"
Yvonneâs mother stretched her hand out with a friendly smile and tried to invite Henry in. "Henry,
come in first and have a seat...â
"It's alright, Mrs. Frey."
He refused her invitation, then took out his cell phone and dialed a set of numbers. "Prepare me a
check for seven hundred thousand dollars and bring it over."
S-Seven hundred thousand dollars?!
Yvonne snapped her head up in shock. Why seven hundred thousand dollars? Her young brother
owed only less than a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
"Henry, you... Oh, I knew I was right in saying that it is indeed our familyâs blessing that Yvonne
married you!"
The smile on Yvonne's mother's face broadened even more. She knew that his wealthy son-in-law
would never abandon them!
"Mrs. Frey, more than this, shouldnât you be asking why Yvonne was in the hospital?â
With a cold face, Henry gave her a serious reminder.
"W-Well..." Yvonne's mother chuckled awkwardly. "I did. Itâs only a gastric problem. She's always
had this problem. It'll be fine as long as she takes her meals on time with some medication."
Yvonne stood at the side and didnât even know what t o say. Her family had always been more
biased toward her younger brother. Since she was a child, no one really cared about her.
After so many years, she had long gotten used to it and wasn't really bothered by it anymore.
"I hope you know that frequent gastric problems aren't a good thing, Mrs. Frey. Itâs important to get it
checked out at the hospital." 3
After saying that, he glanced at this watch. "I still have other matters to attend to. I shall take my
leave now. M y assistant will send the check over later." "Letâs go." Without waiting for Yvonneâs
response, Henry grabbed her wrist. His grip on her was gentle but forceful as he dragged her
directly out of the house.
