CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 190: BECCA, YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS HERE TO PICK YOU UP 3_2

The other party laughed, "I just like dealing with smart people like you..."

"You must be quite proud now! Howard Geoffrey followed his plan and held a press conference on TV, just waiting for you to walk right in, but in fact, you already saw through his plan and think he’s progressing too slowly..."

"It’s really interesting to talk with you, Miss Quinn... Since you’re so smart, why don’t you guess what my next step is?"

"With my intelligence, how could I possibly guess? No need for more nonsense, just tell me when to act."

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Christine Quinn was shocked, "Does it have to be so soon?"

The other party’s tone turned grave, "If I’m not mistaken, Howard Geoffrey will pretend to gather funds tomorrow by selling some of ’Skytop’s’ shares, and I’ll act as the bait, sending people to secretly acquire all the shares he sells. Once I acquire these shares, and combine them with all the shares I’ve already acquired from other directors, I’ll become the largest shareholder of ’Skytop’. However, when I appear as ’Skytop’s’ new person in charge, a heavy pair of handcuffs might be placed on my wrists..."

Christine Quinn was puzzled, "I don’t understand, you’ll become the largest shareholder of ’Skytop’, why would that make you a criminal?"

The other party was straightforward, "Because Howard Geoffrey, to entrap me, is willing to take risks..."

Christine Quinn was even more confused, "Take risks?"

"The second shareholder of ’Skytop’, Henry Dawn, appears loyal to Howard Geoffrey, but actually has long disapproved of Howard Geoffrey’s way of handling things. Howard Geoffrey also long wanted to eliminate Henry Dawn, but neither found the right opportunity... This time Henry Dawn somehow learned about Howard Geoffrey’s suspected insider trading crime and immediately reported it to the police. However, even a month after the report, the police still have not caught Howard Geoffrey committing insider trading. This time the stocks of ’Skytop’ are experiencing turmoil, and the police are already secretly investigating. If I suddenly acquire more than fifty percent of ’Skytop’s’ shares, the police will naturally suspect that I’m a beneficiary of Howard Geoffrey’s suspected insider trading, and then Howard Geoffrey and I will be taken to the police station for investigation. At that time, any director from ’Skytop’ can come out and absolve Howard Geoffrey, claiming they disclosed insider information to me, then Howard Geoffrey can easily escape, and I will be framed and forever trapped..."

"You’re wrong, Howard Geoffrey’s plan to frame you will never succeed."

"So, tomorrow I’ll release a smokescreen about acquiring ’Skytop’ shares, hitting Howard Geoffrey hard while he’s reveling in his success."

"Sounds exciting, tell me, when should I act tomorrow?"

"I’ll call you again, but you better be cautious. If Becca gets away, my plans might be ruined."

"I’ll be cautious, don’t worry, Becca won’t get away..." Christine Quinn turned around, about to end the call and return inside, but was suddenly startled by the slender silhouette she saw.

"Becca?"

Christine Quinn’s voice carried a hint of panic.

Yes, the person standing before Christine Quinn was indeed Rebecca Quentin, who came out in the middle of the night because she couldn’t sleep thinking about Howard Geoffrey and wanted to chat with Christine Quinn. But she unexpectedly saw Christine Quinn making a phone call on the terrace.

Rebecca Quentin naturally didn’t intend to eavesdrop on Christine Quinn’s conversation, however, the sensitive words Christine Quinn kept mentioning made Becca unable to move her feet...

Christine Quinn had just closed her phone and regained her composure from the panic, her voice became somewhat frightening, "Did you hear everything?"

Rebecca Quentin’s face had gone pale, seemingly realizing the danger, she immediately turned around.

However, just as she turned to run, Christine Quinn caught up with her in a few quick steps.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

"I..." Becca’s eyes started showing fear.

Christine Quinn sneered at Becca, her gaze turning cold, "You can escape, but what about Andrew?"

Becca’s body shuddered violently.

"Mommy..."

Marilyn Quinn heard noises on the terrace and came over with sleepy eyes, not expecting to see Christine Quinn tying up Becca with a rope, fiercely.

Marilyn Quinn had never seen her mother so fierce, she immediately covered her mouth. Before Christine Quinn could react, Marilyn had already turned and ran away from the terrace...

Christine Quinn then realized her daughter’s presence, but Marilyn had already vanished without a trace, and no matter how much Christine called, she wouldn’t return.

Christine Quinn’s body suddenly went limp, she called out blankly, "Marie..."

New York.

Early morning, Skyler Jones had just finished grooming and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in his hotel suite, adjusting his tie when his phone rang unexpectedly.

Skyler picked up his phone without looking at the number on the screen, he pressed the answer button, holding the phone between his shoulder and neck while continuing to adjust his tie, "Hello."

"Daddy..."

A crying voice of a little girl came through the phone.

Skyler’s body shook, he immediately took the phone down and pressed it to his ear, "Marie..."

"Daddy, where are you? Can you come save me? I’m so scared..."

"Marie, what happened?"

Marilyn Quinn spoke fragmented sentences as if she’d experienced a great fright, "Mommy... Mommy tied up Auntie with a rope last night, she’s so fierce... Daddy, Marie is so scared, Marie didn’t dare go home to find Mommy all night, a cleaning auntie gave Marie ten dollars so she could call Daddy..."

"Marie, calm down and explain. Are you saying your mommy tied the aunt with a rope?"

"Yes."

"Okay, Marie, Daddy knows you’re calling from a payphone telephone booth. You stay there like a good girl, and Daddy will send someone to pick you up right away, okay?"

"Okay."

"Marie, don’t be afraid. Remember, Daddy will come quickly..."

"Okay, Marie won’t go anywhere, I’ll wait here for Daddy to come get me."

After ending the call with Marilyn Quinn, Skyler Jones immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number for his subordinate in Y City.

After instructing them, he folded his arms, then dialed Christine Quinn’s number.

Alas, Christine Quinn’s phone was always unreachable.

Skyler could no longer maintain his composure, walking out of the room briskly.

At the same time.

In the CEO’s private elevator, Jason Wood couldn’t hide his excitement and exclaimed, "CEO, today we will finally see that big fish!!"

Howard Geoffrey had his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the monitor, watching the elevator rise floor by floor, a slight curve on his thin lips, remaining silent.
