CHAPTER 163: CHAPTER 92: WHY KEEP INTERFERING IN HER LIFE? (2)

This scene feels so familiar, as if I’ve heard a similar story before. In the next moment, Rebecca Quentin suddenly remembered, it was Mrs. Geoffrey.

Soon after, the video ended, and the reporters on site were all immersed in the regretful video, yet no one could guess why Howard Geoffrey wanted everyone to watch it.

Finally, Howard Geoffrey spoke, "I believe everyone who watched the video is filled with questions. Why did I show you this video, and what does it have to do with the happy news I am about to announce today... All of your questions will be answered by my elder brother!"

Howard Geoffrey’s gaze shifted towards Skyler Jones at this moment, as if telling him the path has been laid, and it’s Skyler’s turn to go forward.

Everyone present exchanged gazes at Howard Geoffrey’s affectionate use of "elder brother"...

Skyler Jones was a frequent attendee of such occasions, so his demeanor on stage was no less than Howard’s. He slowly began, "First, I would like to thank you all once again on behalf of Mr. Geoffrey for being here. Secondly, I want to say that the news we are announcing today is not just a happy occasion for Mr. Geoffrey, but for myself as well... I believe some of you might have guessed it by now, yes, the two brothers in the video were Mr. Geoffrey and I during our childhood!"

As soon as Skyler Jones said this, the scene fell completely silent, as everyone was dumbfounded, in a state of extreme shock, including Rebecca Quentin who stood in the corner.

Next, Skyler Jones explained the reason for his separation from Howard Geoffrey during childhood, but Rebecca Quentin didn’t absorb a single word of it. Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief, fear, and anxiety.

After an unknown period, Skyler Jones raised his voice, saying, "So, I announce here that ’Oversky’ and ’Skytop’ will not be separated in the future, and we will be brother companies, hoping that the two of us can continue serving society."

As soon as Skyler Jones finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted at the scene...

This was evidently sensational news, and every single reporter there was beyond thrilled by it.

Rebecca Quentin finally regained her senses, flashes of Skyler Jones’ words crossing her mind, as if unwilling to believe, she kept shaking her head.

When Rebecca Quentin was stepping back repeatedly in shock, a bodyguard gave her an inviting gesture, respectfully saying, "Miss Quentin, the press conference is about to end, and as per Mr. Geoffrey’s order, we need to take you back to his office. Please cooperate."

The bodyguard spoke so politely, but in reality, it was a demand for Rebecca Quentin to be sensible, to avoid them having to use force to maintain peace.

The President’s Office.

Rebecca Quentin stood for a long time, her gaze dazedly fixed on the front.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps pulled Rebecca Quentin out of her deep thoughts, and she subconsciously straightened her back, waiting calmly for the person to arrive.

His uniquely pleasant scent gradually approached, and when it was almost certain that he was near her, her body couldn’t help but tremble lightly.

Howard Geoffrey indeed appeared in front of Rebecca Quentin, looking down on her condescendingly.

Rebecca Quentin didn’t spare a glance at Howard Geoffrey, her eyes still steadily fixed on the towering buildings outside the glass curtain.

Howard Geoffrey noticed Rebecca Quentin’s slightly raised chin, which showed her inherent stubbornness and resilience, he couldn’t help but smile slightly, but his tone was disdainful, "Do you think with just this level of skill, you can take revenge on me?"

While Howard Geoffrey spoke, a black disc appeared in his hand, presented before Rebecca Quentin.

Rebecca Quentin looked at the black disc she had taken from the compensated dating girl, which now lay in her hand. She should have been filled with fear and dread, yet now she seemed numb, without any fluctuation in her expression.

Howard Geoffrey lifted Rebecca Quentin’s chin, forcing her gaze to meet his, coldly sneering, "Do you hate me?"

Rebecca Quentin stubbornly turned her head away, her expression one of rare disgust and disdain, she still remained silent.

Howard Geoffrey applied pressure with his fingers, suddenly gripping Rebecca Quentin’s chin, turning her face back, his tone as if coaxing, "Not speaking, hmm?"

Fierce pain surged through, yet Rebecca Quentin silently endured the force almost crushing her chin.

Howard Geoffrey abruptly released Rebecca Quentin’s chin, now bruised, chuckling, "I couldn’t tell, you have such spirit... but I am in a good mood today, I won’t bother with you."

As Howard Geoffrey turned to walk to the liquor cabinet, a bodyguard’s sounds of obstruction came from outside the door, "Mr. Jones, you can’t go in..."

Skyler Jones quickly kicked aside the bodyguard and entered the office.

Several bodyguards surged in again, blocking Skyler Jones at the door.

Howard Geoffrey, holding two wine glasses, seemed unaffected by the situation before him, leisurely pouring wine into the glasses.

The bodyguard’s troubled voice sounded, "President, Mr. Jones he..."

Howard Geoffrey gestured for the bodyguards to retreat, and once only the three of them remained in the office, Howard Geoffrey held a glass of wine, smiling at Skyler Jones, "Such a beautiful day, elder brother, it’s worth celebrating for us both!"

Skyler Jones’s expression was grave, "I have something to say to Becca alone!"

Howard Geoffrey eyed the wine swirling in his glass, seemingly courteous in asking, "Mind if we finish this wine first?"

As soon as Howard Geoffrey finished speaking, four bodyguards already stood in front of Rebecca Quentin.

Skyler Jones naturally knew he was at a disadvantage on Howard Geoffrey’s turf, so he walked to the liquor cabinet, picked up the glass that Howard Geoffrey poured, and drank it all in one go.

Howard Geoffrey calmly made a toasting gesture, slowly sipping a bit.

The bodyguards retreated from in front of Rebecca Quentin.

Skyler Jones walked over, directly grabbing Rebecca Quentin’s hand and leading her out of the office.

In the corridor, Rebecca Quentin fiercely shook off Skyler Jones’s hand.

Facing Rebecca Quentin, Skyler Jones deeply called, "Becca..."

Rebecca Quentin glared coldly at Skyler Jones, laughing crazily, "No wonder today’s plan failed... Skyler Jones, you and Howard Geoffrey coordinated flawlessly! In the end, the one who truly got played was me, and I foolishly found a partner who could never be against Howard Geoffrey!!"

It was evident that Rebecca Quentin was mocking the relationship between Skyler Jones and Howard Geoffrey.

Skyler Jones didn’t get angry, explaining, "Don’t see me as Howard Geoffrey’s elder brother. The so-called brotherhood between us has long since evaporated. The plan failed today due to my oversight."
