"No, but she emphasized that once you hear about what she has to say, you’ll take it very seriously," Joe reiterated what Jacqueline said.
Henry sneered coldly, "Why makes her think that I'll take her seriously?"
Joe shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I saw her expression and she seemed very confident."
"Hah!" Henry snorted disdainfully as he walked to a door and stopped. He lifted his leg and kicked the door open.
The people in the house screamed in shock when the door suddenly opened.
Jacqueline immediately went into Dominic's arms.
Dominic patted her back to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, Jackie. It's okay, it's just Henry."
"Henry?" Jacqueline lifted her head from Dominic's arms and looked towards the door. She saw two figures standing there, which were Henry and Joe standing at the back.
Jacqueline let out a sigh of relief and she slowly calmed down.
It was not because she was timid, but she had been tortured since she was taken away by Shaw.
Moreover, after everything that happened yesterday, she was constantly on the edge and felt afraid over every little thing.
"Henry, you're here." Jacqueline's face was still pale, but she forced a smile at Henry.
Henry didn’t bother to greet her. He glanced around the room, and after seeing the two documents on the coffee table, he walked towards it.
He stopped in front of the coffee table and bent over slightly to pick up the two documents. "Why didn't you sign these?"
The father and daughter had always broken their promises, so his eyes were full of coldness.
Dominic was a little scared and he started breaking out in a sweat on his forehead. He stubbornly said, "I...
I signed it..."
"What?" Jacqueline was stunned and she shouted at him in disbelief, "You signed it? When did you sign it?"
A dim light flashed in Henry's deep pupils. He wanted to know the answer to that question too.
Before he got there, Sue also told him that Dominic refused to sign the documents, so why did he sign them now?
Henry was very interested in the reason for his sudden change. His sharp gaze fell on Dominic, and h e kept staring at him.
Dominic's shoulders shrank even more, and he even lowered his head as he didn't dare to look at Henry and his own daughter.
"I... I signed it when you were in the bathroom," he replied ashamedly.
Jacqueline was so angry that she almost tripped." Father!"
What was the problem?
Why did he suddenly become so timid?
He was not like this before.
Jacqueline could not help but feel resentful towards Dominic. She resented the fact that her father had become so cowardly and useless.
Henry and Dominic both noticed how disgusted and repelled Jacqueline felt about her father.
When Henry saw this, his eyes were full of disgust and he didn't bother interrogating her. He quickly pushed her chin away and straightened his body as he took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He began to carefully clean his fingers one by one as if he had gotten his hand dirty with poisonous venom. When Jacqueline saw that, she was angry and annoyed.
Did he despise her so much that he had to do that?
Jacqueline wanted to cry because she realized that once a man changed his mind, he would never look back no matter what.
Even if he didn't love her anymore, they still had a relationship before. However, he didn’t care about the past at all and he was so mean to her! 1
Henry didn't know what Jacqueline was thinking, and he wasn’t interested either. He wiped his fingers and threw the handkerchief on the ground as he asked grimly, "When did you make the will?"
He never expected that this woman would make a will secretly, disrupting his plan to transfer their assets.
"I made it very early on, just after I turned eighteen." Jacqueline lied to his face.
In fact, her will was done not so long ago. It was actually after she found out that Yvonne was her half-sister, and she did it in order to prevent her property from falling into Yvonne's hands.
She knew very well that Yvonne despised her, and that she would find out about her identity someday. Therefore, once Yvonne learned that they were both Conrads, she might get revenge on her and snatch all the Conrads' assets. That was why she had a plan set i n place and made a will. So even if she really died to Yvonne's hands, Yvonne would not get her property.
Sure enough, she made the right move.
As Jacqueline thought about this, she had a crazy smile in her eyes, and all her thoughts were written on her face.
Henry licked his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Jacqueline, where's the will?"
"I won’t tell you." Jacqueline smiled brighter, "Henry, I know that you hate me now and are disgusted by me. We are destined to never get back together, so I won’t bother pretending. Let me make this clear-I will not let Yvonne have my things." 1
Henry looked at her with cold eyes. "What the Conrad family had was never meant for you. Those things you talked about are supposed to belong to Yvonne."
