Henry moved his thin lips slightly as if he wanted to say something.
But the master allowed him no such chance. He sneered harshly, "Frederick told you just now. The
reason why Yvonne wants a divorce is because you hurt her feelings. Everyone can see that. That's
also why I agreed to the divorce."
"But we haven't gone through with that, have we? We didn't go through with the divorce
procedures!" Henry said sternly. 1
The master sighed, "Yes, you're not divorced yet. But since I promised Yvonne that, I'll make you go
through with it. Besides, Yvonne left you the divorce agreement. It should be in your room. You can
go and look for it later."
"I won't sign it!â Henry said without any hesitation.
The master frowned. "So what if you don't sign it? I'll b e in charge of this marriage, and you must
get it done no matter what. Since you only love that woman from the Conrads, why don't you let
Yvonne go? Otherwise, Yvonne will be much more grieved if this marriage continues."
"Let her go?" Henry's eyes fluttered slightly.
The master looked at him. "Yes. I asked you to marry Yvonne three years ago. Didn't you wish for
freedom a t that time? Now after the divorce, both of you can finally be free. What are you
dissatisfied with now?" 1
Henry lowered his eyes but made no reply.
The master said again, "I heard that you are trying to locate where she is. Is that so?"
"You know about that, Grandpa?" Henry looked up.
It had not been half an hour since he asked Joe to find where Yvonne was. How could the master
know about it so soon?
Thinking about that, Henry glanced at Sue.
Sue averted her gaze guiltily and remained silent.
When Henry saw that, he soon understood the whole picture. Sue must have eavesdropped on
their conversation and told the master about it.
The master coughed lightly. "That's enough. You don't have to bother about how I learned about it.
Go and ask Joe and the others to stop looking for her. Don't look for her anymore." 1
"No! I must get her back!" Henry was persistent.
The master's facial expression worsened. "Get her back? Are you treating her like a prisoner? What
do you plan to do after you get her back? Do you want to lock her up?"
Henry pursed his lips. "No. I just donât want a divorce."
The master sneered, "You donât want a divorce, but look at what you did all this while!" The master
supported himself with the walking stick and said angrily, "If it wasn't for the fact that you always
side with that woman from the Conrads, and you don't even take revenge for your own baby, why
would Yvonne be so disappointed in you? You're the one who brought it on yourself!"
"I know," replied Henry.
He knew all along that Yvonne was dissatisfied with how he dealt with the Conrads.
"Since you know about that, did you do anything? If you did something about it, why would she want
a divorce? She wants a divorce now because sheâs deeply disappointed in you. It's because she
knows youâll never protect her no matter what happens. So she made up her mind to divorce you."
The master pointed at Henry.
Henry rubbed the place between his eyebrows. "I asked the Conrads to move abroad."
"Is moving abroad punishment for the Conrads?â The master smiled coldly. "Henry, don't you ever
assume that I didn't see through your tricks. You asked them t o move abroad just because you
know that I can't do anything to them since they would be quite far away. Thatâs true indeed. I
cannot do anything to them for the time being. But as soon as they return to our country, I'll never let
them get away with it."
"Grandpa..." "That's enough. I won't change my mind. Besides, I hope you remember what I said to
you just now. Don't go looking for Yvonne, and sign the divorce agreement immediately. Get it done
quickly. I came today just to tell you about this."
Then, the master got up wobbly. Frederick quickly went and helped him. Then, the two old men
disappeared from Henry's sight as they left the villa.
Henry stayed for a while there before he went upstairs to his room again.
That time around, he finally saw the document folder o n the bed. He soon picked it up.
Henry stared at the document folder in a daze. He seemed unable to open it, and he had guessed
its content. It should be the divorce agreement that Grandpa talked about.
The document folder was not heavy, but Henry felt that it was quite heavy, and it burned him. It
seemed like he was holding a hot iron in his hand, hurting him.
Finally, he still could not manage to open the document folder. He did not even sign his name there.
Besides, he did not call Joe, asking him to stop looking for Yvonne.
Actually, he understood what Grandpa meant. He knew that he should sign the divorce agreement
just like that. But unknowingly, he found himself quite reluctant to do so. He found it repulsive, and
he could not bring himself to reconcile with it.
So he must get Yvonne home, and talk to her in person.
He heard a ringing sound at that moment.
The phone on the bed rang.
Henry came to his senses and picked it up to take a look. It was a call from Joe. He immediately put
it near his ear and answered the phone. "Did you find her?â
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. We didnât find her. We asked around in every station, and we didn't find
any record of her purchasing a ticket. At the same time, we also looked up her relatives and friends
too, and they too did not have a record of buying a ticket for her. So we doubt that madam left in
any kind of vehicle."
'Not a vehicle?'
Henry frowned. 'Did Elliot lie to me? Did Yvonne not take a car, but a plane or a train?'
If that was the case, it meant that he had missed the best time to look for her.
As he was thinking about that, his facial expression worsened. "Go and look up all the routes of the
planes and trains. You must find her location for me!"
"Alright.â Joe received his order.
Outside of the room, Sue eavesdropped on their conversation. She narrowed her eyes slightly and
sneaked away quietly. After she went downstairs, she called Yvonne. "Madam, something's wrong.
He's asked them to look for you.â
"Look for me?" Yvonne was sitting on an old bus now.
Sue replied, "Yes. The minute he knew that you had left, he asked Joe and the others to look for
you."
"Let him be. He wonât be able to find where I am," said Yvonne without any worry.
But Sue was still anxious. "Madam, sir will be able to find where you are one day given his
capabilities. What will you do then?"
"It's fine. I'll not be related to him by then. So what if h e finds me? Even if we meet each other,
we're nobody but strangers," said Yvonne nonchalantly, but she was experiencing excruciating pain.
Treating Henry as a stranger was quite an impossible task for her currently. It was quite difficult too.
Maybe it would be so after a long time, so long that she no longer loved him. Then, she would be
able to forget about him and treat him like a stranger nonchalantly.
"Thatâs true. But Iâm afraid that he might do something bad after he finds you. He might ask them to
bring you home. I'm sure youâre unaware of it. After he knew that you had left, he became so
ferocious and frightening. I have never seen him like that." Sue looked upstairs and spoke in a soft
voice.
Yvonne bit her fingernails. "Frightening? What's... wrong with him?" "Heâs certainly wrathful. The
master came soon afterward and said a lot of things to him."
"What did he say?" Yvonne became slightly concerned.
Sue signed. "Certainly he asked sir not to do anything rashly. He asked sir to sign the divorce
agreement, and not to look for you. But sir did not listen to him."
"Alright, Sue. Don't tell him about my location and contact number."
"Don't worry, madam. I know what I should do but..." "But what?" Yvonne asked.
