CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 172: BROTHERS JOIN FORCES AGAINST M_2

Nelson Lewis burst into laughter.

Howard Geoffrey’s cold eyes shot towards Roger Leonard.

Roger Leonard immediately put down the wine glass by his side, sat beside the imposing Howard Geoffrey, and whispered, "Brother Dora, actually, there is a trick to dealing with a woman like Becca, who is impervious to both hard and soft tactics..."

Roger Leonard, having mingled with many women before meeting Isabella Joanna, had rich experience in handling them.

"Speak."

Nelson Lewis naturally already understood what Roger Leonard was implying, and a wanton smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Roger Leonard sneered, "I just made a call to your baby Becca..."

Howard Geoffrey furrowed his brows tightly.

"You wouldn’t believe how my acting skills were put to the test. I told baby Becca that you’re in France handling the kidnapping incident of Alice Robinson..."

At this point, Howard Geoffrey’s already somber gaze shot at him like a sharp blade.

Roger Leonard quickly raised both hands in a gesture of surrender, "Let me finish, I have no intention of making Becca misunderstand that you care about Alice; I just wanted to provoke a genuine response from Becca... even Big Brother is involved in this."

Howard Geoffrey’s cold, dark gaze turned to Nelson Lewis.

Nelson Lewis smiled and spoke, "Roger didn’t make it clear, let me explain... When you informed us to gather in France, I knew something was up because Roger said you’ve been troubled by women’s matters lately, so you couldn’t possibly have time for a gathering. Sure enough, after arriving in France, Jason Wood told us about the ’M’ situation... You’re strategic in your approach, and we know you have a complete plan to deal with ’M’, so we weren’t worried about that. Realizing you now have internal and external troubles, Roger and I thought of a way to release your internal worry, which is to force Becca to reveal her true feelings... Roger called Becca, saying you’re in danger now and she should seek help from Skyler Jones. Doing this not only forces Becca to show her concern for you but also makes Skyler aware of Becca’s feelings for you. I believe, given how much Skyler likes Becca, even if he knows you’re merely using Alice to divert ’M’s attention, he’ll still choose to protect Becca."

In fact, while this method might upset Rebecca Quentin, it’s the best way to reveal her mind. Howard Geoffrey hadn’t considered doing this because he didn’t want to cause Rebecca Quentin any unhappiness, but since things had already progressed to this point, Howard Geoffrey could only let it be. After all, he also wanted to see how Rebecca Quentin would react...

At the same time.

Rebecca Quentin sat in front of her computer and opened her email inbox.

She was just about to send a message to Skyler Jones’s email when she noticed a message from a stranger in her inbox.

The signature of the stranger was peculiar — Carnation, a flower name.

Compelled by an inexplicable urge, Rebecca Quentin opened the message.

The content was long, with both text and images...

Rebecca Quentin merely cast a casual glance but then suddenly widened her eyes.

Next, Rebecca Quentin’s slender body heavily leaned back against the chair. No one expected that after reading this message, she sat in front of the computer for a long time, no longer sending a message to Skyler Jones.

In Y City.

Inside the "Oversky" Group office building, Skyler Jones stood with his arms crossed in front of a large window, his vision filled with the towering buildings of the vast cityscape.

His entire being exuded an aloof aura, as if disdainful of this world, only wanting to trample it underfoot.

Knock, knock —

The sound of a knock came from the door behind him.

"Come in," Skyler Jones uttered coolly.

After the subordinate came in, Skyler Jones did not turn around, his gaze still fixed ahead.

The subordinate respectfully spoke, "Mr. Jones, I discovered something..."

"What is it?"

"Nelson Lewis and Roger Leonard have gone to Paris."

"Oh?" Skyler Jones raised an eyebrow.

"I found out that these two have already met with Mr. Geoffrey at the XX Clubhouse in Paris, but it’s impossible to guess what they’re discussing."

Skyler Jones began pondering deeply.

Howard Geoffrey always acts with foresight and strategy, so the arrival of Nelson Lewis and Roger Leonard may not necessarily be to help him; it could just be a simple gathering, or it could be a smokescreen used by Howard Geoffrey to distract ’M’, leading them to investigate Nelson Lewis’s and Roger Leonard’s actions, which would provide him with an opportunity for the next step in his plan.

"Is that all?" Skyler Jones asked, knitting his brows.

"Yes."

"And what about Alice’s situation?"

"After Mr. Geoffrey handed over the two criminals who kidnapped Alice to the police, Alice has been protected by Mr. Geoffrey at his hotel in Paris. In my opinion, Mr. Geoffrey plans to take Alice back to New York."

Skyler Jones nodded. "Naturally, he would have such a plan."

The purpose of ’M’ ordering the kidnapping of Alice was to see if Howard Geoffrey would abandon Rebecca Quentin and rush to France to save Alice. Howard Geoffrey’s "cooperation" has already successfully dispelled ’M’s last suspicion that he has feelings for Rebecca Quentin.

"Mr. Jones, regarding Nelson Lewis and Roger Leonard going to Paris, there’s actually a little inside information."

"Let’s hear it."

"According to the server at the clubhouse, the trio’s discussion seemed unrelated to ’M’, and was actually about Mr. Geoffrey’s relationship with Miss Quentin. It’s said that upon learning about Mr. Geoffrey’s recent troubles with Miss Quentin not willing to accept him, Nelson Lewis and Roger Leonard offered their strategies..." The subordinate then completely reported the situation heard from the server to Skyler Jones.

Skyler Jones fell into deep thought after hearing this.

The subordinate cautiously added, "However, the server’s words shouldn’t be entirely trusted, after all, Mr. Geoffrey is thorough in his dealings, so how could he let the clubhouse server overhear such information?"

Skyler Jones pondered for a while then calmly stated, "It seems Howard Geoffrey intentionally let the server reveal this information to me..."

"Why is that?" The subordinate was even more perplexed.

"If Becca seeks my help, this would undoubtedly be Howard Geoffrey declaring his possessiveness over Becca with a triumph, which in turn would deter my craving for Becca, and if Becca doesn’t seek my help, Howard Geoffrey wouldn’t worry about me leaking information to ’M’, because protecting Becca is a shared goal for both of us... Since we have a common goal, we should establish a united front. The fact that Howard Geoffrey let the server pass on this news to us is like extending an olive branch to me."

The subordinate suddenly understood, "So, Mr. Jones, how should we proceed next?"

Skyler Jones’s gaze turned wickedly profound as he spoke in a deep voice, "Next, ’M’ will definitely pressure me to use Alice as a breakthrough to find Howard Geoffrey’s weakness. Naturally, I should still cooperate with ’M’, and that’s also to buy time for myself... Since Howard Geoffrey has extended an olive branch, and like him, I too want to eliminate ’M’, it’s time for me to cooperate with him once."

The subordinate was quite excited, "If you and Mr. Geoffrey join forces, I’m sure you’ll catch ’M’ soon."
