Love After Marriage Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 317

"Madam, you're done watching the show?" Sue greeted Yvonne with a smile when she walked into the living room.

Yvonne nodded slightly. "Yeah, I'm done. Is Henry back?"

Sue pointed upstairs. "He’s in the study room."

"Then I'll go to him.” Yvonne went upstairs.

She wanted to tell him about what she knew from Jacqueline as soon as possible.

And she had Jacqueline’s mobile phone too. She checked it earlier and was unable to unlock it as it was locked with a passcode. Perhaps after passing it t o Henry, he could get someone to unlock it.

Maybe, there was some useful information on the mobile phone?

Knock! Knock!

Yvonne knocked on the door of Henry's study room." Henry."

"Come in." Henry’s cold voice came from inside.

Yvonne opened the door and entered the room. "Are you busy?"

Henry was typing on the keyboard. When he heard her question, he raised his head a little and looked at her.

He quickly buried his head again. "I'm collecting some information on the land.”

"Land?” Yvonne blinked her eyes. "Are you buying land again?"

Henry hummed and said, "Many people doubt the quality of the villa after the incident. To restore our credibility, all the villas need to be demolished and rebuilt, so I'm choosing a new piece of land."

"I see.” Yvonne touched her chin suddenly, probably understanding what he meant.

Although she had never studied architecture, she knew that the construction method for high-end villas was different from ordinary real estate. They were all specially designed foundations. Therefore, once all the villas were to be demolished and rebuilt, the foundations must be demolished together.

Thus, it would take a longer time to clean up the ruins. If the rebuild was done after cleaning, they would definitely be late for the launch in the next quarter, so i t was better to buy a new piece of land to build a villa.

Thinking of this, Yvonne walked over to Henry and looked at his computer curiously. "Have you found any land?"

"This piece is not bad.” Henry clicked on the mouse twice and a detailed description of a piece of land appeared on the screen.

Yvonne stretched her neck forward. After squinting her eyes for a while, she was a little surprised. "North

Shore? Isn't that a suburb?" "Yeah, but the scenery is good. After a little development, it will be a good place to rebuild the villas," Henry replied faintly.

Yvonne shrugged. “Okay, I don't know much about this. You can settle it by yourself. I'm here because there's something I have to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Henry let go of the mouse and turned to her.

"Well, I went to the fashion show today, right? I met Jacqueline and I tricked her to get some information." Yvonne told him half of the truth with her eyes dodging his gaze.

How could Henry not realize that she was guilty? He raised his eyebrows. "What's the information about?"

"Uh... I asked her who the Conrad family was allied with." Yvonne twisted the corner of her clothes.

Henry leaned back in the chair. "She answered you?"

"Yeah." Yvonne nodded.

Henry narrowed his eyes. "Did you do something to her? Otherwise, why would she answer?"

Yvonne smiled reluctantly, "Alright, I admit it. I did give her a small punishment."

She pinched her fingers to indicate a little movement.

Henry took a glance at her. "What's her answer?"

"Huh?" Yvonne was stunned. "Are you not going to ask me what punishment I gave her?"

Henry lowered his eyes and said faintly, "I'm not interested.''

"Really?" Yvonne looked at him suspiciously.

Henry pursed his lips unpleasantly, "Yvonne Frey, don't you believe what I said?"

"This..." Yvonne's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is it possible to do this?"

"As long as I want to, nothing is impossible. Alright, you should get out now." Henry ordered her to leave.

Yvonne looked at Jacqueline's mobile phone. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But seeing his distant face, she said nothing, shut her mouth, and went out.

After she left, Henry pinched his eyebrows. He grabbed his mobile phone and dialed out. "Joe!"

"Mr. Lancaster." Joe’s voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.

Henry closed his eyes tiredly. "Come to the villa. I have a mobile phone here and I need you to crack it to see if there’s any information on it."

"I got it. I’ll come over immediately," Joe responded.

Henry hummed and cut off the phone. Then, he dropped the phone and continued browsing land information.

Time flew by. In the evening, Henry finally walked out of his study room and came downstairs.

Yvonne noticed that he looked tired and she hurriedly poured him a cup of tea. "Are you done?"

Henry took the teacup and sat beside her. "What are you looking at?"

"Photos," Yvonne replied without looking up. She was fiddling with the camera in her hand.

Henry felt a little unhappy seeing that all her attention was on the camera. His voice became heavy. "What photos?"

"It was taken at the show earlier today. I'm not done sorting them yet. Do you want to take a look?" Yvonne shook the camera in her hand and asked him.

Henry turned his head away without any interest.

Upon seeing this, Yvonne put the camera down." Okay. I'm being too much now. Just pretend that I didn't ask."

She spread her hands indifferently.

Henry glanced at her and asked suddenly, "How's the decoration going on at the venue for the business alliance?"
