Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 242 How Could You Be So Vile?

"The chauffeur whom sir arranged for you, madam," Sue replied. "Wherever you want to go in the future, you can just call the chauffeur and he'll pick you up, madam."

"I see." Yvonne took her phone and saved the number while asking, "Why are you the one giving it to me though, Sue?"

"It was supposed to be Joe, but you went out, so he asked me to pass it to you," Sue explained.

Yvonne made an "Oh" in realization. "Okay, I've saved the number."

"Go and rest then, madam. I'll be cooking in the kitchen and I'll call for you when I'm done," Sue said and got up to head to said part of the house.

Yvonne rapped her slightly stiff shoulders and turned on the television. Not too long into watching it, her phone rang. She turned to glance at it, seeing the words Jason Frey blinking back at her on the screen. For a moment, Yvonne felt her temples throbbing with the flickering words.

He was not done yet - he was here to ask her for money again.

It had been three continuous days. She was tired of it even if he could keep it up. 1

Sighing, Yvonne picked up her phone, mentally exhausted, and put it next to her ear after a swipe at the screen. "Jason, you..."

Before she could finish, Jason’s raging growl was heard. "Yvonne Frey, are you happy now?"

"What?” Yvonne's frown was locked tight and deep. " What are you saying? What do you mean am I happy now?"

"My child’s gone. Amy aborted it. You're happy now, aren’t you?" Jason questioned her loudly.

Yvonne had no idea who Amy was, but when he said that his child was gone, she could guess as much. It was probably the girl who was going to marry him. The girl actually aborted the baby!

Yvonne sprang up in shock, panicking. "Jason, you're saying she aborted the baby?"

"Yes," Jason spat through gritted teeth.

Blood drained from Yvonne's face. "How - how..."

"How?" Jason’s chuckle was low and sinister. "Aren't you the one who caused this?"

"Me?" Yvonne was bewildered.

Jason clenched his fists. "Yes. Because you refuse to give us money, and that’s why Amy didn’t want to marry me and aborted the baby. Mom told you then that Amy was going to abort the baby if we had no money, but you said to do it if she wants to. Amy did it

now, and you're happy huh?"

Yvonne stumbled at that, taking the blow to heart. "I-I didn't know. It wasn't on purpose. I was just saying it out of anger. I didn’t know that she'd do it."

She did say what she did, but it was really out of her rage. From how she saw it, it was just one of the many excuses her mother was using to ask money from her, so she did not think that the girl would actually abort the baby.

Now, however...

"Out of anger?" Jason’s laughter was frenzied. "Out of anger. I've lost my baby because of your words out of anger. Yvonne Frey, everything's happened because of you. How could you be so vile?"

Vile?

Yvonne felt a pang in her heart, her breathing quickened.

She was vile?

How was she vile when she just did not want to give them money?

Receiving no reply, Jason grew bolder assuming that Yvonne felt guilty. "Yvonne Frey, I’ll hold you to this for life. Just you wait, I won’t let it pass so easily.” 1

With that threat, he hung up.

Yvonne stood her spot frozen and dazed. Her hand carrying the phone fell limp as the gadget slipped out of her grasp onto the floor with a clack. It did not cross her to pick it up. All her mind could think of right now was what Jason told her.

She thought that Jason was calling to ask her for money again, but this was not the outcome she was expecting!

"Madam, what's wrong?” Sue came out of the kitchen t o call Yvonne for the meal only to see her standing in front of the couch beating herself up with an obviously negative emotion.

"Sue..." Yvonne's eyes rimmed red at once when she saw Sue.

Sue walked to her briskly at the sight. "Madam, what happened?”

Yvonne let herself fall into the woman's arms. "Sue, have I been wrong? Am I really a vile person?"

"Huh?” Sue was utterly confused, not knowing what happened.

Yvonne recounted her phone call with Jason through her sobs and when Sue finished listening to it, she was fuming. "Madam, don't listen to him. How is this your fault? How are you the vile one? They're the ones who can’t provide the money and the girl aborted the baby because she can't see any light of hope with them. If I have to comment, the abortion's a wise move.” 3

"A wise move?" Yvonne looked at Sue with her jaw dropped.

Sue nodded. "Yes. If she did get married into a family like the Freys, she's basically signing up for torment. I f that baby is actually born, who knows what good-for-nothing devil they'll groom it into with how they're acting now. So madam, don’t burden yourself with unnecessary faults.”

"But my conscience can’t take it.” Yvonne ruffled her hair in anguish. "I keep feeling that it's my mistake. I caused it because I didn’t give them money. I..." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Madam!” Sue patted her head. "Calm down, madam. I know why you'd assume so. It's because you're too kind. But you’re not wrong, and you're not the slightest bit at fault. Don't overthink it."

"I can’t help it, Sue, I really can't not think about it, you know? I regret it so much. Why did I say that? Now that Amy aborted the baby, my conscience is screaming at me!” Yvonne said in pain, pounding her chest.

Sue sighed, "What do you want to do now, madam?" "I want to go back and have a look," Yvonne replied.

Sue stopped her instantly. "No. They won't let you get away if you go home at this time.”

"I know, but I have to. Sue, don't stop me.” Yvonne got u p from the woman's embrace and picked up her phone from the floor, rushing out. 3

Unable to do anything since Yvonne left obstinately, Sue retrieved her phone as well to call Henry, telling him the entire story.

Henry was chairing a meeting at the moment, but his expression turned ice cold when he heard what he was told, chilling even the temperature of the meeting room.

His staff exchanged looks, not understanding why their CEO was seething in the blink of an eye.

"I understand. I'll go over right now," Henry told Sue coldly and hung up, shouting at the meeting room's door, "Joe!"

Joe came in through the door. "Mr. Lancaster."

"Prepare the car!"

"Yes."

After Joe went out, Henry got up and scanned the occupants in the meeting room with frosty eyes. "This is all to today's meeting for now. I have something to attend to. Email your objection regarding the planning report mentioned just now, if any, to me."

"Yes, yes, we will. Please go ahead with what you must, Mr. Lancaster," someone stepped up to say despite the pressure.

With a hum, Henry left the meeting room in a wide stride and called Yvonne when he was in the car.

Yvonne was also currently in a cab. Thinking that it was Jason when her phone rang, she quickly fished it out of her purse and picked up without checking."

Jason...”

"Where are you right now?" Henry asked her with a frown.
