Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 343

Lynette covered her face. "It’s not like that, you didn't d o anything to me. I have my own reason..."

"You?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes when she heard this. "No, it's definitely not you. Tell me, did someone ask you to do this?"

Lynette was shocked-she didn't expect her to see through all her lies.

"No, I did it. No one made me do it." Lynette trembled slightly; she was not willing to tell the truth.

But Yvonne could tell that she was deliberately lying, and she became more and more disappointed in her." So you're not going to tell me the truth? Fine, let me guess. You have nothing against my grandfather, so you will not harm him. Now, the person who really wanted to harm Grandpa, is his enemy, and that enemy..."

Yvonne suddenly thought of something when she was saying that. Her expression suddenly changed." Jacqueline? It's Jacqueline, right? Did she ask you to d o this?"

She remembered that Jacqueline once said that she hoped Grandpa would die when they were at the nursing home parking lot the other day.

So in all likelihood, it was Jacqueline who asked Lynette to do this.

On another occasion, Jacqueline appeared at Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger's ward out of the blue, and she was probably there to observe whether Lynette could become the pawn in her game.

Everything was starting to make sense now as she thought about it.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Jacqueline asked you to do this, right?" Yvonne looked at Lynette angrily while clenching her fists.

Lynette turned her back on her to avoid her gaze. "No, Yvonne. Stop spewing nonsense, it has nothing to do with her."

"You're the one spewing nonsense. Your expression tells me that I guessed it right-Jacqueline asked you t o do it. Why did she ask you to poison my Grandpa? Did she threaten you?" Yvonne grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her to turn around.

After Lynette turned around, she closed her eyes tightly. She refused to open her eyes to look at Yvonne. She just begged, "Yvonne, please don’t force m e. I won't say anything about it. I'm sorry, I..."

"Sorry?" Yvonne let go of her and looked at her like a stranger. "Lynette, do you hear yourself? You poisoned someone-you poisoned an 80 year old man! If Grandpa didn't seek medical treatment in time, he could be dead already. You think you can just brush everything under the rug with a 'sorry?'" "Poison?" Lynette suddenly opened her eyes wide and her eyes were filled with astonishment. "What poison?"

Yvonne was shocked to see Lynette’s reaction. "Don't you know?"

Lynette shook her head. "I don't know, I was only given some nlaxative. It’s not the poison you were talking about. How could laxatives kill? Yvonne, don't scare me."

She was a little scared.

Yvonne looked at her coldly. "I'm scaring you? Why would I scare you like this? If you don't believe me, you can go to the nursing home with me to see what happened, and you can see if it was laxative or poison."

"No, that’s impossible!" Lynette’s eyes widened and she took a few steps back in shock. "She clearly told m e it was a laxative, so how could it be poison?!"

"She lied to you." Yvonne gave her a pitiful look.

Lynette trembled. "Lied to me?"

"Crazy, you’re crazy!" Yvonne clasped her hands." Lynette, let's go. Come with me and turn yourself in!"

"I'm not going!" Lynette looked at her. "I can't turn myself in. If I did, what would my parents do?"

"But what can you do if you don't? It is a homicide. Do you think you can run away?" Yvonne asked her back. 1

Lynette hugged herself tightly. "Yvonne, for the sake o f our friendship, will you please let me go? I will leave for a foreign country tomorrow and I’ll never come back again. You can just pretend none of this ever happened-he is not your real grandfather anyway." "What're you talking about?" Yvonne looked at her in disbelief. It was hard to believe what she just said.

"Lyn, do you know what you're talking about? Are you still the Lynette I know? How long has it been? You’re like a different person. What do you mean pretend none of this ever happened? It's someone's life, a human life!" Yvonne shouted emotionally.

Lynette also felt guilty, but she did not want to go to jail as much as she did feel guilty.

She avoided Yvonne's gaze and did not dare to look into her disappointed eyes.

"Yvonne, I know I’m despicable, but I really can't go to jail. If my parents know that I've done such a thing, they won’t be able to take it. Yvonne, I beg you please, let me go!"

"Let you go?" Yvonne was so angry she laughed. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. "How d o I let you go? You almost killed my grandpa, and even if I did let you go, do you think my husband would? By the way, haven't you been curious about my husband? Let me tell you now, my husband is Henry Lancaster, your former boss!"

"H-how could it be?" Lynette stood up in horror.
