CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 106: RUNNING AWAY WITH THE BABY

"Rebecca Quentin, do you want to know why I stopped you from being with Skyler Jones before?"

"Sorry, I don’t have time to discuss personal matters with you."

From this arrogant angle, he seemed to be in the clouds, gazing at the world below.

"Because he is the father of Christine Quinn’s child."

Rebecca Quentin was taken aback.

"I won’t allow you to mess with him!"

Rebecca Quentin was confused, "Can you make your words clearer?"

Howard Geoffrey withdrew his gaze from the emptiness in front of him and turned to her, "You have the chance to hear the most accurate version of this from Christine Quinn. What I’m telling you today is—leave the Flowery Kingdom, and stop messing with Skyler Jones!"

"Can’t you speak less harshly? I joined ’Oversky’ just for work, not because of Mr. Jones."

Howard Geoffrey stared her down aggressively, snorted coldly, "Flirting in the office, kissing Skyler Jones in the hall, is this what you call work?"

Rebecca Quentin felt somewhat aggrieved, "Don’t slander me!!"

Howard Geoffrey squinted coldly, disdainfully, "Why bother pretending to be wronged?"

"Howard Geoffrey!"

Why is it every time she clashes with him, it’s like he carves a knife into her heart?

"Rebecca Quentin, at least you used to have that aloofness and pride. Now? Are you really desperate enough to cling to any life-saving straw you find, or are you just like your mother, a complete mess with men, finally showing your true colors?"

Such sarcasm pierced her already fragile heart like a sharp sword, spreading pain throughout her chest.

It’s fine, Rebecca Quentin...

No matter what he says, he can’t hurt you anymore. If you take him seriously, you’ll still be the one to lose utterly.

After comforting herself in her heart, Rebecca Quentin looked coldly at Howard Geoffrey with the same disdainful gaze, smiled, "Since that’s how you see it, I’ll tell you the truth... I’ve always known Mr. Jones is interested in me, so I came to work in Y City. My goal is to cling to Mr. Jones, to regain the favor of this Golden Bachelor, and unexpectedly the result truly satisfied me; Mr. Jones remains gentle and considerate towards me, his deep feelings unchanged. I guess Mr. Geoffrey, you’ll soon be calling me ’sister-in-law’!"

She wouldn’t have said such things before, but at this moment she really felt terrible.

What right does he have to talk about her like that?

She’s not a person without dignity; just because she was foolishly used by him, does he get to trample her personality at will?

Howard Geoffrey’s eyes shot sharp light, his tone threatening, "You can just try and see!!"

At that moment, Rebecca Quentin took out her phone and dialed a number. In front of Howard Geoffrey, Rebecca Quentin turned to leave while speaking with a sour tone, "Oversky, can you come pick me up? I’m at ’Jennings’ club... um, I’ll wait for you at the front door!"

She admitted, at this moment, she was deliberately trying to provoke him!

Rebecca Quentin didn’t know how Howard Geoffrey would react when she turned to leave; she only knew that her eyes were burning and she couldn’t continue pretending in front of him.

It was only at that moment that she realized...

She couldn’t remain calm and indifferent, couldn’t pretend not to care...

To hear someone she once loved so much say those words that insult her character, her heart really hurt, hurt so much...

Heavens, can you tell her what she did wrong to deserve this punishment?

Even if she never cared, even if she never loved, even if all the past doesn’t count in his heart, she accepts it. She’s no longer daring to mess with him; she just wants a peaceful life. Why does he still have to hurt her like this?

Can’t we part amicably?

When Skyler Jones saw Rebecca Quentin, her lost and forlorn figure by the roadside was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to fall at any moment.

He jumped out of the car, saw the sad image of Rebecca Quentin with tears slipping from the corner of her eyes, and asked nervously, "What’s wrong, Becca, what happened?"

Rebecca Quentin just shook her head, tears falling like loose pearls, remaining silent.

Skyler Jones pointed to the suite, "Did Howard Geoffrey come to find you again? Is he inside?"

"Uh..."

"Damn it!!" He cursed and was about to rush into the club.

"Don’t!" Rebecca Quentin reached out and grabbed Skyler Jones, her voice hoarse from crying, "Can you please not let him know I’m like this right now?"

"Becca..."
