CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 186: DECIDING TO KEEP THE CHILD (PART 2)

"Becca..."

"Sis, please don’t look at me with pity. I’m fine, really fine. Since I’ve chosen to separate from him, I won’t care about these things anymore."

Looking at Rebecca Quentin’s earnest and indifferent face, Christine Quinn wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say. After all, it wasn’t the time to comfort Rebecca Quentin yet.

"Alright then, think carefully about the child, but don’t consider removing the child in these two days. Wait until you’re a bit healthier in a few days."

"Okay."

"You should rest now. I’ll take Andrew to the living room to play..."

"Sis, thank you."

"What are you talking about? Go to sleep!"

Rebecca Quentin pulled up the blanket and slowly lay down on the bed.

Christine Quinn, holding Andrew, stood by the bed, looking at Rebecca Quentin’s closed eyes and even more exhausted face with compassion.

The two sisters were so similar, both fell for a man they shouldn’t have loved...

Her ending with that person was destined to be tragic, but fortunately, the Howard Geoffrey Becca fell for was actually worth loving...

She believed that in the near future, she would see Becca smiling like a flower, happily leaning on Howard Geoffrey’s shoulders.

The next day.

"Andrew, this animal is called an elephant. It has a long trunk and two ears like fans..."

Inside the room, Christine Quinn and Rebecca Quentin were with Andrew on the bed identifying animals, and the three of them were having a great time...

Suddenly, Christine Quinn’s phone rang.

Christine Quinn continued waving the card in front of Andrew while picking up the phone and pressing the answer button, "Hello..."

A processed machine voice came from the phone, "Christine Quinn?"

Hearing the other person’s voice, Christine Quinn was stunned for a second, "Yes, who are you?"

"You don’t need to care about who I am; you just need to know that you and I will be cooperating soon."

Christine Quinn suddenly became alert...

She put down the card, avoiding Rebecca Quentin, walked to the living room, and asked coldly, "You’re really strange. You won’t tell me your identity, yet you say we will cooperate. It’s absurd!!"

The woman with the distorted machine voice let out a light laugh, "I was indeed abrupt. I hope I didn’t scare Miss Quinn, but I believe in our cooperation. You will be very willing to talk with me."

Christine Quinn furrowed her brows, saying coldly, "I think if you don’t get to the point directly, the next second I might choose to hang up."

"’Carnation’."

The other party precisely uttered these three words, causing Christine Quinn’s body to tremble heavily, her eyes widening in panic.

"The email Rebecca Quentin received, wasn’t it sent by you?"

Christine Quinn calmed herself and replied, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"Miss Quinn, you don’t have to play dumb in front of me... You sending that email to Rebecca Quentin, one that could potentially destroy Rebecca Quentin and Howard Geoffrey’s relationship, and still getting her trust as a ’good sister’, speaks to the darkness in your heart."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

The other party calmly chuckled and continued, "Christine Quinn, oh Christine Quinn, you’re really clever, even Howard Geoffrey can be deceived by you. I believe, even Howard Geoffrey could not expect the email signed as ’Carnation’ was actually sent by you to Rebecca Quentin, right?"

"Who are you really?" Christine Quinn’s tone sounded anxious.

"Can’t you guess who I am?"

"Are you the person Howard Geoffrey is targeting?"

"Seems like you’re not stupid..."

"You actually dared to call me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll call Howard Geoffrey right now?"

The other party laughed heartily, "Do you think if Howard Geoffrey could track me, he would still be trying all possible ways to lure me out?"

Christine Quinn was stunned, "You know Howard Geoffrey wants to lure you out?"

The other party laughed triumphantly, "Howard Geoffrey is indeed smart. He designed a perfect plan to draw me out..."

Christine Quinn was once again astonished, opening her mouth but unable to speak.

"To implement his plan, the first thing he had to do was to move the woman he loved most out of the spotlight. So he started to deliberately get close to Alice Robinson, with the intention to make me believe he loved Alice Robinson, thereby protecting Rebecca Quentin. After moving Rebecca Quentin out of the spotlight, he started implementing his next step, which was to instruct his trusted assistant Jason Wood to spread rumors that ’Oversky’ would cancel the Hope City project. This was actually meant to force me to act..."

"How could you..." Christine Quinn shook her head in disbelief.

The other party continued, "Howard Geoffrey’s plan to force me to act is — once I hear the rumor that the Hope City project will be canceled, I would see it as a unique opportunity. At this time, I would press Skyler Jones to borrow money from Howard Geoffrey. Once Skyler Jones gets the money, I would think ’Skytop’ no longer has liquid capital to maneuver with, and if ’Skytop’ runs out of liquid funds, ’Skytop’ will surely have to delay paying wages to employees for two to three months. At this point, I only need to slightly stir up societal opinion, and ’Skytop’ employees will start to become uneasy. Gradually, rumors about ’Skytop’ being unable to pay wages will begin to spread, growing increasingly intense like a plague. Eventually, even international projects, large and small, won’t consider ’Skytop’ for bidding. If all goes as expected, the rumor will spread in less than a week, and ’Skytop’s’ stock will start to drop. Seeing this situation, Howard Geoffrey will surely feign an anxious appearance at a press conference to clarify matters, making her believe it even more. Then I will intensify my attacks on ’Skytop’ from all sides, forcing Howard Geoffrey to sell some shares to temporarily ease the scarcity of liquid capital. Taking this opportunity, I would secretly buy all the shares Howard Geoffrey sells off. Plus, I had already acquired shares from several board members of ’Skytop’ bit by bit, allowing me, from this opportunity, to sit in the board of ’Skytop’ and replace Howard Geoffrey as the new head of ’Skytop,’ thus thoroughly striking Howard Geoffrey... Of course, I wouldn’t succeed because Howard Geoffrey has been waiting there to trap me."

Christine Quinn had never expected the other party to be able to describe Howard Geoffrey’s plan so thoroughly, leaving her speechless for quite some time.

"Christine Quinn, am I right?"
