Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 348

Lynette was dumbfounded.

Indeed, there was an easier way to send her to jail. There was no need for her to beat around the bush.

But she still didn't want to believe that it was true.

"It seems that you still doubt me," Yvonne smiled mockingly and shook her head. "Well, if you don’t believe me, you can contact Jacqueline and ask her if this is true!"

Lynette’s eyes trembled. "Call Jacqueline?"

"Yes, you don't dare to do so?" Yvonne tried to agitate her.

Lynette was already in a bad state of mind. Of course, she bit the bait when she was agitated. "Says who? I'll give her a call now."

After speaking, she took her mobile phone out and called Jacqueline.

When Yvonne saw this, the corner of Yvonne’s mouth twitched.

The call was quickly connected. Lynette squeezed the phone tightly with both hands and asked the other end of the call excitedly, "Miss Jacqueline, is it you?"

"Yes, it's me. What's the matter?" Jacqueline replied with a yawn.

Yvonne held her breath and dared not speak. She didn't want Jacqueline to overhear her.

Meanwhile, Yvonne winked at Lynette, trying to hint her not to expose her presence to Jacqueline.

Lynette had been friends with her for so many years, s o she understood what Yvonne meant. She nodded lightly and returned to the phone call. "Miss Jacqueline, it’s been a few days. I'm very worried about my parents. Can you please tell me how their situation is now? Are they still being treated at the hospital?"

On the other side of the phone, Jacqueline stopped drinking milk and said nonchalantly, "Of course your parents are in good condition. They're receiving treatment in an internationally renowned hospital."

"Really?" Lynette didn't doubt her words and she smiled in relief.

Seeing Lynette believing Jacqueline's words so easily, Yvonne couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Ask her if your parents are at the embassy." Yvonne moved her lips silently to Lynette, signaling her to ask Jacqueline the question.

Lynette was a little reluctant, but Yvonne’s eyes were very determined that she couldn't defy her, so she did as she said.

"Miss Jacqueline, can you take a picture of my parents receiving treatment at the hospital?" Lynette begged.

Jacqueline's face sank instantly. "Why? Don't you trust me?"

"No, of course not. It’s just that someone told me that they saw my parents at the embassy. So, I..."

"Embassy?" Jacqueline narrowed her eyes and interrupted Lynette, "You said someone saw your parents at the embassy. Who's that person?"

Lynette turned to Yvonne for help.

Yvonne thought for a while. Then, she took a paper and a pencil from the side and wrote a sentence and then showed it to Lynette.

After memorizing it, Lynette followed what was written and asked, "My friend's relative went to the embassy for errands and recognized my parents. So they called me."

"Hold on!" Jacqueline interrupted her again, "A friend’s relative? What a coincidence that he bumped into your parents at an embassy abroad. Who are you lying to?"

Lynette opened her mouth, but she was speechless.

Yvonne touched her nose in a panice. She knew that Jacqueline was not foolish.

"Forget it. Stop beating around the bush and just tell her the truth. Tell her that it's my husband and me," Yvonne gave up and whispered to Lynette.

Lynette hesitated for a moment. Then, she said slowly,

Upon hearing this, Lynette's pupils shrank. All the regret and guilt surged up suddenly, and she could

hardly breathe.

Jacqueline was right, she was foolish.

For a verbal promise, she betrayed her friend, sold the house, and her parents were suffering.

She was wrong, so wrong!

"Lyn..." Looking at Lynette this way, Yvonne felt really upset.

Lynette put away her worries, squeezed her hands tightly, and her eyes were determined. "Jacqueline, aren't you afraid of karma? Are you not afraid that I'll call the cops on you?"

Jacqueline laughed disapprovingly, "Call the cops? Go ahead. Do you have any proof? Let me tell you that you have none. Don’t forget that you're the one who put the poison in and you left your fingerprints on the bottle. It has nothing to do with me. Even if you report this to the police, I'll still be able to get away with it."

"You..." Lynette was speechless. Only then did she remember that Jacqueline didn’t touch the bottle.

It was a man who gave it to her and the man was wearing gloves.

She was immersed in the joy of her parents being saved and she didn't notice these details at all. 1

Flashing back at the memory now, she was miserable.

"You planned it all!" Lynette grumbled into the phone with a distorted expression.

Jacqueline giggled, "I've said this before. I want the surrounding people to betray Yvonne. So, I definitely have to plan well."

Yvonne narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Betrayal..." So this was what Jacqueline meant at that time?
