CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 191: BECCA, YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS HERE TO PICK YOU UP 4_2
Jason Wood was surprised by the beauty and figure of the woman in front of him, unable to associate her with the sixty-year-old woman with white hair in his mind.
No wonder she could so easily destroy a happy family, it turns out... her beauty is truly astonishing.
As the woman walked into the office, she sat down opposite Howard Geoffrey, extending her hand with a smile, "Mr. Geoffrey, hello."
Although the woman was well-maintained, the mature tone in her voice revealed her true age.
"Jason Wood, you may leave. I would like to speak with this lady... how should I address you?" Howard Geoffrey asked.
"My surname is Gordon."
"Lady Lindsey."
"I don’t mind if you call me Miss Gordon either."
Howard Geoffrey chuckled softly, "To show respect, I will call you Aunt Lindsey!"
The woman lifted her eyes and scrutinized Howard Geoffrey carefully, "To think, when I first saw you, you were still very young, and now you’ve grown this much... you’re actually more handsome than your father was in his youth."
"Rebecca Quentin doesn’t look a bit like you."
"Haha, it’s good she doesn’t look like me. If she did, who knows how you would bully her!"
"Aunt Lindsey, knowing your daughter is suffering such injustices, yet you haven’t shown up all these years, really speaks to your heart of stone!"
"Mr. Geoffrey, there’s no need to indirectly criticize my failures as a mother... Since everyone already knows each other’s identity, let’s speak frankly."
Howard Geoffrey leaned back in his chair, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth, "Alright, I too dislike unnecessary trouble!"
The woman then glanced at the bodyguard who accompanied her.
Following her cue, the bodyguard took out a laptop, opened it, and adjusted the screen towards Howard Geoffrey.
The woman smiled gracefully, "Mr. Geoffrey, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that ten minutes ago, I had already acquired 51% of ’Skytop’s’ shares, so at this moment I am the new head of ’Skytop’... Mr. Geoffrey, aren’t you a bit surprised now?"
"Aunt Lindsey, you managed to catch hold of my elder brother’s handle at the age of twenty, why would I doubt your capabilities?"
"Haha... It’s not about catching hold or anything, if it weren’t for me, ask Skyler Jones if he could have achieved what he has today?"
"Aunt Lindsey, I’ve been meaning to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"If you were to lose today, should I let Rebecca Quentin know that she actually has a blood relative like you in this world?"
The woman sneered, "Such a scenario doesn’t exist, Mr. Geoffrey, I’ve already won, haven’t I?"
Howard Geoffrey shook his head slightly, a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The woman seemed unbothered by Howard Geoffrey’s contempt as she calmly said, "Don’t forget, the position you’re holding now is already mine."
Howard Geoffrey maintained a nonchalant tone, "If I could be defeated by you so easily, how could I face my mother?"
The woman’s well-maintained yet wrinkled eyes emitted a cold light.
As silence settled between them, Jason Wood came in from outside, respectfully reporting to Howard Geoffrey, "President, should we have Henry Dawn call the police?"
"Call the police?" The woman furrowed her brows.
Howard Geoffrey took out a cigarette, struck a lighter with a flick, and lit his cigarette before exhaling slowly, "Jason Wood, explain it to her."
"Yes."
Jason Wood then turned to the woman, speaking with disdain, "Lady Lindsey, perhaps you don’t know that you’re about to go to prison?"
"Let’s hear it." The woman remained composed.
Jason Wood spoke slowly, "Actually, a year ago, when the boss discovered the scar on Miss Quentin’s chest, he secretly had the matter investigated... The investigation revealed that the scar on Miss Quentin’s chest that day was caused by Mr. Jones."
"If it was Skyler Jones, why link it to me?"
"Because the cross-shaped scar on Miss Quentin’s chest also appears on your chest, Lady Lindsey. You instructed Mr. Jones to do this, as you intended to return the pain you once endured to the Geoffrey family."
The woman didn’t refute, maintaining her gentle smile. "Keep going."
"After confirming Lady Lindsey’s identity, the boss began to wonder why Mr. Jones always followed your orders. Later, the boss speculated that Mr. Jones must have a handle on you, so the boss instructed me to investigate Mr. Jones’s past, and finally, I discovered that Mr. Jones was involved in an assault case at the age of twenty." Jason Wood paused before continuing, "Upon learning Mr. Jones’s handle was in your possession, the boss began to strategize on how to draw you out, for if not, you wouldn’t just be a threat to Mr. Jones but might also continue harming the Geoffrey family!"
The woman coldly interrupted Jason Wood, "So, I’m sitting here today all because of Mr. Geoffrey’s plan, is that it?"
Jason Wood sneered, "Seems like you already know that you have no escape today."
"Mr. Geoffrey, since your subordinate has said so much, might as well let mine speak to you too."
Jason Wood impatiently looked at Howard Geoffrey, "Boss, there’s no need to waste words with her..."
Howard Geoffrey’s face showed no emotion, but a hint of leisure played on his lips, "No problem, let her speak."
The bodyguard beside the woman spoke, "Mr. Geoffrey, you’ve long uncovered our plan, but have you considered that perhaps Lady Lindsey has merely been playing along with you?"
Upon hearing the bodyguard’s statement, Jason Wood’s eyes widened with shock.
The bodyguard continued, "Mr. Geoffrey, actually all your actions have been known to Lady Lindsey... You deliberately got close to Alice Robinson to protect Miss Quentin, you allied with Mr. Jones to smoothly execute your plan, you sent Miss Quinn to T City to look after Miss Quentin as a precaution against Lady Lindsey... Did you really think Lady Lindsey was fooled by all of this?"
