CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 68: HOWARD GEOFFREY CAME TO SAVE HER 3

In the office, Howard Geoffrey opened the video...

In the dimly lit video, Rebecca Quentin could be seen huddled in a corner of the bed, shivering beneath a blanket...

As Howard Geoffrey’s face darkened, his secretary entered the room. "Mr. Geoffrey, Mr. Jones is here."

Howard Geoffrey put away his phone. "Show him in."

"Yes, sir."

Skyler Jones entered, and Howard Geoffrey leaned against the back of his chair, looking relaxed.

Skyler Jones greeted him as usual, "Mr. Geoffrey, long time no see."

"Have a seat."

"Thank you."

Howard Geoffrey spoke in a friendly tone, "Mr. Jones, you’re always so responsible. You came all the way from Y City as soon as there was an issue with the project. No wonder we’re able to cooperate so amicably."

Skyler Jones chuckled, "Mr. Geoffrey, I can take care of the project issues, but I have a personal matter that I was hoping you could help me with."

Howard Geoffrey deliberately adjusted his posture and replied earnestly, "Mr. Jones, please, tell me. If there’s anything I can do to help, I certainly won’t spare any effort."

Maintaining his smile, Skyler Jones looked at the inscrutable Howard Geoffrey and said, "I’ll get straight to the point... I haven’t heard from my fiancée, Rebecca Quentin, for the past couple of days... Aunt Clare told me that she last left with General Leonard of Leonard, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with General Leonard. I heard that you and General Leonard have a good relationship, so I wanted to ask if you’ve been in contact with him recently?"

Howard Geoffrey feigned surprise. "Did Roger go to Y City?"

"Yes, he came to Y City a couple of days ago to discuss a collaboration with me and, by the way, caught up with Becca."

"I haven’t actually seen Roger recently. You know he’s always in G City and rarely comes to T City, much less to see me. However, since this concerns your missing fiancée, I’ll give Roger a call to inquire."

Saying that, Howard Geoffrey picked up his phone and dialed.

Howard Geoffrey put the call on speaker, but the line only indicated that Roger Leonard’s phone was unreachable.

How could Roger Leonard possibly answer Howard Geoffrey’s call right now? He probably assumed Howard Geoffrey was calling to scold him.

Howard Geoffrey said regretfully, "I’m truly sorry. It seems Roger isn’t answering anyone’s calls right now."

"Then there’s really nothing much that can be done. The police haven’t found anything, so I guess we’ll just have to wait for Becca to contact me herself. In any case, thank you for making that call for me, Mr. Geoffrey."

Skyler Jones stood up at this point, the smile on his face purely perfunctory.

Howard Geoffrey also rose, saying seriously, "Mr. Jones, don’t worry too much. Roger is a man who knows his limits. He must have taken your fiancée somewhere for a reason. I’ll have a word with him later... If I get any news about them, I’ll contact you immediately."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Geoffrey..."

"It’s a small matter..."

"Mr. Geoffrey, I’ll take my leave then. Please allow me to discuss the project with you at a later time."

"Alright. Lisa Cecily, please see Mr. Jones out."

The secretary walked in and, smiling at Skyler Jones, said, "Yes... Mr. Jones, this way, please."

After Skyler Jones left, Howard Geoffrey leaned back in his chair, his expression turning cold again, his dark eyes glinting with a cunning light.

Skyler Jones had clearly come to ask him for the person, yet he hadn’t breathed a word about his relationship with Rebecca Quentin. Such transparent yet deep probing... it didn’t seem to fit his nature. Or was he really just an ordinary businessman with a good head on his shoulders? No... he was definitely not that simple.

Thinking up to this point, Howard Geoffrey called out in a low voice, "Lisa Cecily."

The secretary, who had just seen Skyler Jones out, hurried back in. "Yes, Mr. Geoffrey."

Howard Geoffrey ordered coldly, "Cancel all my appointments for the next week. I need to be away for a few days."

"Understood."

Howard Geoffrey grabbed his suit jacket and walked out of the office.

「Foam Island.」

Rebecca Quentin faced her second night on the island. It was still a pitch-black night, but thankfully, the weather was good. The stars were sparse but exceptionally bright, especially when viewed from the sea, making the world feel incredibly serene.

So, instead of huddling in a corner of the bed, tonight she hugged her blanket and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly gazing at the stars outside.

The twinkling stars were truly beautiful, but she had no heart to admire them right now. As she looked at them, her thoughts began to wander. Tomorrow would be the third day. Roger Leonard had said he would have Skyler Jones come pick her up... Actually, she wasn’t stupid. She understood what Mrs. Geoffrey and Roger Leonard were trying to do... They wanted to provoke him—Howard Geoffrey—to come and find her. To be honest, from the moment she first set foot on this island, she had never harbored any hope that he would come. She knew he wouldn’t.
