CHAPTER 340: CHAPTER 182: THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY CHRISTINE QUINN CREATED FOR THEM (2)

Skyler Jones directly ended the call.

Just as Skyler Jones turned around to head back to the carriage, his phone rang again.

The number displayed on the phone screen made Skyler Jones’s face instantly darken, and he pressed the answer button suddenly, silently waiting for the other party to speak.

A robotic voice came through, "Feeling overwhelmed lately?"

Skyler Jones replied, "You should know, the Hope City project has encountered a major problem."

The other side laughed, "I think the chance to overthrow Howard Geoffrey has arrived."

"What’s your plan?"

"Based on recent mishaps, the likelihood of the Hope City project continuing is slim, so ’Oversky’ is bound to face the challenge of funds running dry, and the only person you can turn to for help is Howard Geoffrey."

Skyler Jones scoffed, "I don’t need his help."

Who would know, at this moment Skyler Jones was secretly laughing inside, "M" indeed fell into Howard Geoffrey’s trap.

"I know you don’t want to swallow your pride for Howard Geoffrey, but your progress against him is truly disappointing to me, so I’m forced to go against your wishes and ask you to borrow money from Howard Geoffrey."

"The opportunity you’re talking about is for me to borrow money from Howard Geoffrey?" Skyler Jones asked, pretending to be confused.

"Yes, do your best to borrow as much money as possible from Howard Geoffrey under the guise of family ties... Once you’ve borrowed the money, I’ll tell you what to do next."

Skyler Jones urged, "I can bow my head for the plan, but I need it to work in one shot." He was forcing "M" to make a move.

"Of course, I’ve been lying low for so many years, just waiting for this golden opportunity."

"Alright, I’ll follow your instructions as quickly as possible, expect good news from me."

"Okay."

Skyler Jones was about to end the call when "M"’s robotic voice came again, "By the way, I’ll make contingency plans, keep an eye on Alice Robinson, she’ll be crucial for me to defeat Howard Geoffrey."

"Okay."

The call ended.

Skyler Jones smirked contemptuously, then pocketed his phone and walked towards the car.

Marilyn Quinn was in the car reading a storybook. Seeing the hint of a smile on Skyler Jones’s face, she called out, "Daddy."

Skyler Jones sat down next to Marilyn Quinn, tenderly saying, "Have you been waiting long?"

Marilyn Quinn shook her head sensibly, "Daddy, you’re in such a good mood, did you call Mommy?"

"Your Mommy said she’ll be with your aunt for a while before coming back."

"Daddy, when Mommy comes back, will you move in with us? Marie really wants you and Mommy to be together every day." Ever since Christine learned she had a father, she hoped to have a complete family.

"Kids shouldn’t worry about adult matters..." Skyler Jones habitually patted Marilyn Quinn’s hair, then instructed the driver, "Drive."

T City.

"Oh dear, I told you not to do these things, I’ll do them..."

After finishing lunch, Rebecca Quentin was about to clean up the dishes when Christine Quinn quickly snatched them away.

Rebecca Quentin frowned, "Sis..."

Christine Quinn said, "Don’t forget, you’re a pregnant woman now, you should avoid heavy work."

Rebecca Quentin sat back helplessly, her clear eyes firmly looking at Christine Quinn, "You know I don’t plan to keep this child."

"Why don’t you ever listen?"

Rebecca Quentin answered seriously, "Sis, I’ve explained my relationship with Howard Geoffrey to you, I’ve finally managed to distance myself from him, and I don’t want any more complications."

"Alright, let me ask you, you decided not to keep this child on your own, did you ask Howard Geoffrey for his opinion?"

"I don’t need to ask him."

"He’s the father of the child!!" Christine reminded her.

Pain flashed across Rebecca Quentin’s eyes, she pleaded, "Sis, do you really think there’s any point in me continuing to be entangled with him?"

"Becca, I’m not forcing you to be with Howard Geoffrey, I just don’t want you to hastily give up on feelings you’ve held onto for so many years."

Rebecca Quentin smiled serenely, "There’s nothing to regret, I’ve always held onto things I shouldn’t have, and it was too late when I realized."

Hearing Rebecca Quentin say this, the anxious Christine Quinn burst out, "Becca, actually..."

"Hmm?" Rebecca Quentin listened attentively.

Christine Quinn suddenly reconsidered, swallowing her words with rationality, softly saying, "Nothing, I just hope you consider carefully."

"This is already the result of my careful consideration."

After cleaning the dishes, Christine Quinn saw Rebecca Quentin playing with the newly awakened Andrew in the room, she then walked into the bathroom, picked up her phone and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, in New York

Howard Geoffrey had just come out of the bathroom after a shower when he saw his phone vibrating on the bedside table.

Howard Geoffrey picked up the phone, looked at the screen, and pressed the answer button.

Before Howard Geoffrey could speak, Christine Quinn’s rather annoyed voice had already reached his ear, "Howard Geoffrey, I’m kind of regretting helping you..."

Howard Geoffrey walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, peering at the night view of New York, asking, "Why would you think that?"

Christine Quinn’s voice was slightly choked, "I can’t bear to see Becca being wronged."

"Wronged? Is there something wrong with her?"

"No, I just feel for her, watching you and her split breaks my heart."

Howard Geoffrey was silent for a few seconds before answering, "I must do this."

Christine Quinn’s nasal tone grew heavier, "I know you must do this, but you don’t know... you don’t know..."

"What?"

Finally struggling, Christine Quinn swallowed her words, not daring to raise suspicion, naturally saying, "You don’t know, Becca has a hard time taking care of Andrew alone, it’d be better if you could be by her side..."

Howard Geoffrey gazed into the distance, his indifferent gaze subtly changing, but that shift quickly reverted to calmness under his cool reason, saying, "Keep an eye on her!"

Christine Quinn exhaled irritably.

What should she do?

She really wished she could mention Becca’s pregnancy...

But Becca repeatedly instructed her to keep it secret, and Howard Geoffrey’s matters were currently in the most critical phase, if Becca’s pregnancy was disclosed now, it wouldn’t just anger Becca, but also distract Howard Geoffrey, perhaps affecting the plan.

Finally, Christine Quinn compromised, saying, "Alright, I’ll try my best to look after her for you..."
