Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 579 Where Did The Funds Go?

Along the way, Yvonne leaned on Henry's chest.

Henry had no other choice.

Because the woman in his arms was completely wasted, she refused to listen to his words.

"We’re here. Where's the key?" Henry asked the woman in his arms as he stood at the entrance of Yvonne's apartment.

After asking, there was suddenly a trace of regret in his eyes because he felt stupid for asking a redundant question.

"Forget it..." With a low sigh, Henry adjusted his stance while carrying Yvonne.

He went through her bag to find the key card and quickly found it.

Henry opened the door and the light in the apartment turned on automatically when it sensed the key card.

He carried Yvonne into the apartment without changing his shoes, and he walked directly towards the bedroom.

There were two bedrooms. He did not know which one she lived in, so he went to the nearest one.

However, the door of the room could not be opened - i t was locked.

He didn't understand why she had to lock the room in an apartment where she lived alone, but he did not think much about it and assumed that it was so that she could have a better sense of security.

Henry released the doorknob and went to another room, thinking that if the other room could not be opened as well, he would need to wake her up and ask her where the key was. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When he went through her bag earlier, he didn't see any keys other than the key card in her bag.

However, Henry was worried for no reason at all. The room was not locked and the door opened easily with just a slight turn.

There was a faint fragrance in the room, which was exactly the same as the perfume on her body. It was obvious that this was her room.

"Shan." Henry gently shook the woman in his arms.

The woman buried her head in his neck and made a sound, but there was no other reaction.

The corner of Henry's mouth twitched slightly. He then carried her into the room like he had accepted his fate.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in her room were open, and the glow from the neon lights outside penetrated into the room, so Henry could clearly see where her bed was.

He walked over to her bed as he planned to gently put her on the bed and leave after he tucked her in.

Unexpectedly, when he put the woman down, the woman on the bed suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him down.

Henry stared blankly at the woman who had opened her eyes.

She seemed to have sobered up.

But when he took a closer look, her eyes were still hazy. So she had not really sobered up yet - it was just an intuitive action.

Henry lifted his upper body and tried to get up, but Yvonne pulled his sleeves and refused to let him go.

Henry suddenly stopped and said, "Shan, let me go."

"No." Yvonne suddenly freed her hand, grabbed his tie to pull him in front of her, and kissed him.

Henry's mind went blank and he was dumbfounded. For quite a while, he didn't know how to react.

When he snapped out of his daze, he did not push her away either. He gave her a deeper kiss.

But at this moment, the phone started ringing and interrupted them.

Henry had completely cleared his mind. After realizing what he was doing, he immediately let go of the woman and got off the bed.

"What am I doing?" Henry frowned and murmured.

As Henry looked at the woman lying on the bed, he pressed his thin lips. He tucked her underneath her blanket and then covered her eyes to help her fall asleep.

He actually wanted to, but not now.

He was still married, so he could not do anything with her. Otherwise, she might be called a homewrecker.

As Henry thought about it, his eyes flashed. He glanced at Yvonne and made a decision in his heart before grabbing his phone and leaving the room.

Shortly after, there was a sound of the door closing from the direction of the living room, which indicated that he had left.

Soon after he left, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were bright, and there was not a trace of confusion or drunken haziness.

It was clear then that she was never actually drunk -she was just pretending to be drunk.

Yvonne wiped the corner of her mouth and muttered with a vague expression, "I can’t believe he stopped at the critical moment."

Her initial intention was to make Henry think that she had fallen for him after pretending to be drunk.

Then she would do something to him because based o n his personality, he would definitely be responsible for what he did.

It would then speed up the divorce process between him and Jacqueline.

She knew she was doing something wrong, but she couldn't wait any longer. She desperately wanted Jacqueline to pay the price.

However, what she didn’t expect was that Henry actually stopped at the last moment. It changed the way she saw him, and she was somewhat relieved.

Although nothing actually happened, the possibility of Henry divorcing Jacqueline should be a lot higher now after what happened today. After Dr. Tom resolved the psychological cues in his mind, he would definitely divorce Jacqueline immediately.

After thinking about it, Yvonne was in a good mood. She stretched her body, lifted the blanket, and got out o f bed to go to the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking a shower, she dried her hair before heading back to bed to sleep.

The next day, Yvonne went to Dr. Murphy to see Theo first before going to the company.

When Yvonne arrived at the trading department, she approached Dennis. "Did you manage to find what I asked you to find?"

Dennis glanced at her and said, "You finally asked me after two days. Are you doubting my skills?"

Yvonne's mouth twitched because she knew how proud this person was of his skills, and could not tolerate the slightest suspicion. She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no. I've had too many matters to take care of in the past two days, that’s why I couldn't come to meet you."

"For Sir Smith's sake, I guess I'll trust you then," Dennis said coldly as he lifted his chin.

Yvonne replied, "Well, then please tell me the result, Big Brother Dennis."

"Alright." Dennis nodded as he pulled out a file from the filing cabinet on the side and passed it to her." This is what you asked for. On the night I got here, I spent two hours and found everything already. You may leave now."

"Okay. I’ll head back to the office first. Dennis, I’ll make a move now." Yvonne waved and left the trading department with the folder.

As she made her way to the office, she started looking through the contents of the folder.
