"It's Jacqueline and I have evidence!" Yvonne took out her mobile phone from her bag and started
to play the recording. She said, "Before I went to see Lynette, I switched the recorder on. Here,
listen to this.â
She passed the mobile phone to Henry.
Henry looked at her for a while and took the mobile phone. Then, he listened to the recording
carefully.
The recording was very long and it took half an hour t o listen to. It recorded the entire conversation
between Yvonne and Lynette.
Henry held the mobile phone firmly in his hand after listening as if he was going to crush it.
"Jacqueline!"
He gritted his teeth while calling Jacqueline's name.
Yvonne looked at him. "Henry, you must avenge Grandpa!"
Henry returned the mobile phone to Yvonne. "I know, but before that, you have to tell me where
Lynette is."
"W-What do you want to do to her?" Yvonne squeezed her hands together nervously.
Although she knew that Henry would not let Lynette get away with this easily, she felt uneasy when
she heard Henry call her name.
After all, Lynette was her best friend and she didn't want anything bad to happen to Lynette.
"What do I want to do to her?" Henry looked at her ruthlessly. "Since she dared to poison an 80-
year-old man, I'll let her experience what it's like to be poisoned."
"Henry, I don't think this is necessary. Letâs just send her to jail," Yvonne bit her lower lip.
Henry was surrounded by cold air. "Are you trying to plead for her? Yvonne, I know that you are
friends with her, but donât forget that she doesn't treat you like one. If she were, she would not
poison Grandpa."
"I know, but..."
"There are no buts. She should've seen this coming when she did it. So, you better stay away from
this, or I promise that she'll end up worse." Henry took out his mobile phone and dialed Joe's
number.
Joe answered his mobile phone immediately. "Mr. Lancaster, is there anything that I can help you
with?"
"Run an investigation of the Yaeger family traveling records and search for their location
immediately!" Henry ordered.
When Yvonne heard Henry's conversation, she panicked and grabbed his arm. "What are you going
to do, Henry? It was Lynette who poisoned Grandpa and this has nothing to do with her parents.
Please donât..." 1
"Don't worry, I won't harm her parents. I just want to let them know of their daughter's doing and the
price
she has to pay."
Once Henry was done talking, he shook off Yvonne's hand and went upstairs.
Yvonne wanted him to stay but Sue shook her head." Madam, you should not persuade sir
anymore.
Grandpa is his only family member now and you can imagine how much he hates people who lay
their hands on him."
"I know, but..."
"There are no huts, madam. Sir is not crossing the line here and you should be considerate of him.
Think about it, the master would've died if he didn't get the medical help in time and sir would be
very upset," Sue persuaded.
Yvonne had a serious thought about the whole incident and she felt relieved after setting her
thoughts straight.
Sue was right. If Grandpa really died, she couldnât imagine how crazy Henry would be.
"Alright, I wonât persuade him any further," Yvonne said while her eyes were eyeing upstairs with a
wry smile.
Sue touched her head and said, "I'm glad you finally figured it out. Jacqueline is really terrible. How
can she do such a thing to our master?"
"There are two reasons. First, she has always been complaining about Grandpa not letting her and
Henry be together. So, she wants Grandpa to die." Yvonne lowered her eyes. "Second, she wanted
to frame me for letting people think that I poisoned Grandpa. Sheâs vicious yet stupid which is why
her plan didn't work."
"Indeed. Apart from hurting master, she failed to achieve the second goal." Sue nodded in
agreement.
Yvonneâs mouth twitched. "But she still disgusts me."
"It's okay, karma will bite her," Sue said and clenched her fist.
Yvonne raised her head and looked at the ceiling. â That should happen in the future. By the way,
howâs Grandpa, Sue?" 1
She had not seen the old man ever since the accident.
Sue's expression changed slightly after hearing Yvonne's question. "His condition is not so
optimistic... n
"How can it be? Isn't he out of the critical stage after the emergency treatment?" Yvonne sounded
worried.
Sue sighed, "Heâs being saved, but he consumed too much nitric acid and some still remain in the
organs. S o, the master is still in critical condition and he needs t o undergo another operation to
cleanse the organs but itâs a very painful process. I'm worried..."
Sue was unable to continue with her words.
But Yvonne knew what she meant.
The operation was not a moderately painful process.
Young adults might not be able to bear with the painful process, let alone a weak 80-year-old man.
If it was fortunate enough, the master might be able to leave the operating room safely.
However, if it was unfortunate, the master might die i n the operating room.
"Grandpa..." Yvonne's face turned pale.
Sue patted her shoulder. "Madam, don't worry about it. Let's look on the bright side."
"I know," Yvonne whispered and took a breath. "Sue, I'll head upstairs now."
"Okay." Sue nodded.
Yvonne smiled reluctantly at Sue, then went upstairs.
After entering the room, she didn't shower, but laid on the bed and fell asleep.
So many things happened today. The ups and downs made her physically and mentally exhausted.
She couldn't be at ease even when she fell asleep. She dreamed that Lynette went to jail and yelled
at her saying that she hated her.
She also dreamt that Grandpa never returned after the operation. Then she dreamt that Henry
wanted to divorce her because of Grandpaâs death.
The dreams were closely linked and they were terribly real.
Even though she knew these were dreams, she couldn't wake herself up. These thoughts tortured
her and made her cry.
It wasn't until the end that she felt coldness on her cheeks, and that coldness extinguished those
terrible dreams. Then, she fell asleep completely.
The next day, Yvonne was standing in front of the bathroom sink, brushing her teeth. Halfway
through, she suddenly realized something.
She was surprised and quickly put down her toothbrush. Then, she put her face in front of the mirror
for a closer look. "How is this possible?"
Yvonne murmured in disbelief, then put the other half of her face in front of the mirror.
In the end, she was certain that she was right. The swelling on her face had disappeared.
Her face swelled up immediately after Henry slapped her yesterday. Smith even checked on her
when they were on their way to find Lynette.
However, she wasn't being honest with Smith. She simply found a reason to brush him off and she
said she would put ice on it when she went home.
But she forgot about it when she reached home. What she didn't expect was the swelling that
suddenly disappeared.
Was that possible?
âThatâs impossible!â Yvonne murmured in her heart.
How could the swelling possibly be gone unless
someone applied medicine to it?
Recalling the icy-cold sensation on her face last night, Yvonne already had the answer in her mind.
She quickly brushed her teeth and rushed downstairs.
She wanted to call Henry and thank him.
When she went downstairs, he was still at home. "You haven't left yet?" Yvonne walked towards
Henry.
