Jacqueline was shivering and seemed rather scared out of her wits.
Even so, she still refused to say it. "Don't even think about it. I won’t tell you anything."
Yvonne's face darkened. "Is that so? Let’s start over again then."
With that, she reached for Jacqueline’s collar again and pulled her up from the ground.
Jacqueline screamed shrilly, "YVONNE FREY, YOU CRAZY B*TCH! LET GO OF ME, LET GO OF ME!"
"You're right, I'm one crazy b*tch. Ever since you and your father killed my child, I'm no longer who I was. All I have now is only hatred toward both of you. I’d suggest you think twice before pissing me off."
Yvonne leaned closer to Jacqueline, with pure hatred o n her delicate face.
She was once a naive and timid person.
And she lost her child due to her naivety and timidness.
Hence, she cast away her naivety. She only wanted to become a powerful person who would take an eye for a n eye. She could protect herself this way!
"You...!" Jacqueline looked at Yvonne who was as cold as an iceberg. She felt fear squeezing her heart as a word suddenly popped into her mind-nutcase!
"What about me?" The corners of Yvonne's lips curled up. "Oh, yes. You wanted me to let go of you, right? I can do that, but only after you tell me everything you know. If you refuse then I'll let you experience suffocation again," she threatened coldly.
Truth be told, she didn't want to treat Jacqueline like she was a bad person had she not refused to speak. But she was really out of options.
She just wanted to find Dominic and the enemy of the Lancasters as soon as she could.
This was the only way she could help Henry eliminate the Lancasters' enemies and avenge her child. Hence, she wouldn't give up until she wrung something out of Jacqueline today.
Seeing that Yvonne was dragging her to the sink again, every trace of color that had just finally returned to Jacqueline's face was gone. She turned pale and frightened again.
The sound of running water from the tap reminded her of her near-death experience from being drowned i n cold water earlier and she immediately shouted in terror, "I'LL TELL, I'LL TELL!"
Yvonne’s eyes instantly lit up when she heard it as an excited smile crept onto her face.
Even so, she didn’t loosen her grip on the back of Jacqueline’s head. She kept her face hovering right above the water surface and didn’t submerge it into the sink. However, it was still very close to the water, only a few centimeters away.
"That's what you should be doing. But you better tell the truth and don't try anything funny. Don't even think about calling for help. I'll push your face right into the water as soon as I notice something is off. If you don't believe me, then you're welcome to try,” Yvonne huffed.
Jacqueline trembled with both hatred and fear toward Yvonne. The expression on her face that Yvonne couldn't see was contorted to the extreme and her eyes were filled with poison.
"Don’t worry. How can I possibly lie to you now that I'm at your mercy?" Jacqueline gritted her teeth.
Yvonne curled her lips. "Okay, then tell me, who allied with the Conrads?”
"I don't know." Jacqueline's answer was quite unexpected.
Yvonne frowned as her tone turned sharp. "Are you taking me for a fool?"
"I don’t know who that group is. You can take that answer or leave it. It was them who initiated contact and told us that they bear grudges toward the Lancasters and asked if we would like to work together to bring the Lancasters down. If we agreed to i t, then they would rescue my dad.”
"You’re not lying?" Yvonne lowered her head slightly and stared at Jacqueline's pale profile skeptically.
Jacqueline snorted coldly, "I said you can take it or leave it. In any case, the group never revealed their identities. The only thing I know is that they are from abroad and the leader is an old man. I don’t know anything else. That's all I can say, you can let go of me now."
Yvonne didn't answer. She pressed her lips and thought for a while before slowly releasing her grip." Looks like you're totally useless."
Jacqueline didn't stop her from leaving. She just clenched her fists tightly as she watched her leave with bloodshot eyes. "Yvonne Frey, I’ll definitely return the humiliation you gave me today to you twofold! Just wait for it!" 1
Of course, Yvonne didn't know what Jacqueline was thinking. She just met up with Lynette again.
When Lynette saw her soaking wet, she couldn't help but wonder. "Yvonne, did you just take a shower?"
"Uh... that happened when I washed my face." Yvonne lifted the wet spot on the clothes and smiled dryly.
The corners of Lynette's mouth twitched speechlessly. "You're too old to be wetting your clothes when washing your face."
"Haha, it was an accident!" Yvonne stuck her tongue out.
Lynette shook her head. "By the way, what did you say to the model just now? It feels like there’s some kind o f a grudge between you two."
The smile on Yvonne’s face slowly faded and she lowered her gaze. "Well, there are some grudges between us. I'll tell you about it next time. Let's go now."
"Okay." Lynette nodded and didn’t continue pressing. She knew very well that Yvonne didn’t want to tell her.
Back at the villa, Yvonne changed her shoes at the entrance.
When she was done, she opened the shoe cabinet and was just about to put her shoes in when she suddenly caught a pair of men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet from the corner of her eye.
She couldn’t help but gasp in wonder and quickly put down her shoes. She took out the leather shoes to examine them carefully, and finally determined that this was the same pair that Henry wore when he went out.
When she was changing her shoes before going out in the morning, this compartment in the shoe cabinet was empty.
It seemed like he had really come back already?
