CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 201: JOINING THE GEOFFREY FAMILY (1)

"Yes, Uncle Geoffrey said..."

At that moment, Christine Quinn interrupted Marilyn, "Marie, you’re all grown up, how come you still want to be carried around all day? Come down, don’t forget your hands are dirty, go wash them first."

Marilyn hugged her father’s neck, "Daddy doesn’t think I’m dirty."

Skyler Jones tugged at the corner of his mouth with a smile, "Daddy doesn’t mind, but your mommy is angry, and the consequences are serious."

"Uh..." Marilyn sneaked a peek at her mother’s stern face, slowly slid down from her father’s arms, and obediently said, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m going to wash my hands."

Marilyn then left the garden with the maid.

Christine Quinn didn’t look at Skyler Jones, she placed her hands in front of her body, her fingers nervously twisting as if to dispel the awkwardness, and she was the first to speak, "Uh, Marie said she missed you very much and kept asking me to bring her back, so I..."

She was really foolish to be deceived by Howard Geoffrey’s few words.

Skyler Jones walked over to Christine Quinn and stated directly, "Even if you didn’t come back, I would’ve gone to T City again, I won’t let Marie suffer with you."

Christine Quinn said indifferently, "I believe Marie never felt she was suffering with me."

Skyler Jones coldly spat out, "At least it’s my responsibility to give her a comfortable environment."

Christine Quinn didn’t say anything more.

Skyler Jones also fell silent.

All of a sudden, Christine Quinn started walking. She didn’t want to stay with him any longer because every time she faced him, the pain in her heart came so intensely.

When Skyler Jones was about to pass by Christine Quinn, he timely grabbed her hand, "Can we talk?"

Christine Quinn took a deep breath, looked ahead, and said coldly, "Talk about what?"

Skyler Jones said softly, "About what happened last time, I owe you an apology."

Skyler Jones’s words made Christine Quinn recall the scene from that day...

To convince the people of "M", she had Becca confined in a corner of the room.

Becca was very scared and curled up in the corner...

She wanted to tell Becca the truth, but she was afraid Becca’s reaction would make "M" suspicious, so she could only force herself to pretend to be cold and hard...

That morning, she waited nervously and uneasily for "M" to call, but who would have thought, she hadn’t received the call from "M" yet, it was Skyler Jones who arrived...

The door was kicked open by Skyler Jones, a swarm of bodyguards rushed in, and Skyler Jones with overwhelming force picked up Becca from the corner...

She was immediately restrained by Skyler Jones’s men, and at that moment Skyler Jones glared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to kill her, she was so frightened that she trembled all over, and then she watched as he carried Becca and intended to leave.

With effort, she broke free from the bodyguards’ grasp, blocked his way in time, preventing him from taking Becca away, and helplessly told her she was cooperating with Howard Geoffrey’s plan.

Alas, he didn’t believe her, and even had the bodyguards tie her up with a rope...

It was also at that moment that "M’s" call came in.

She was really afraid that the plan would be ruined, fortunately, he adapted cleverly, instructing the bodyguards to throw her, who was tied up, into the corner...

Since she and Becca looked very similar, when the scene was presented to "M", even though "M" couldn’t see clearly, there was no suspicion.

Skyler Jones immediately ordered the bodyguards to take her to the police station...

She was forcibly dragged out of the suite by those rude bodyguards, and her whole body was covered in injuries.

Perhaps hearing her call, Becca woke up...

She didn’t expect that Becca, who was completely unaware, would actually plead with him to let her go when she saw he was taking her to the police station...

It was just at that moment that Howard Geoffrey’s call also came in...

The misunderstanding was quickly resolved, but she was greatly traumatized both physically and mentally.

Because of his lack of trust, and also because of the look he had when protecting Becca, like he could tear her to pieces...

She never thought, after being with him for so many years, he would have no trust in her, it seemed she never had any character in his heart...

Thinking of this, Christine Quinn lowered her eyes and said plainly, "Why bother saying sorry to me? In your heart, I’ve always been that lowly, haven’t I?"

Skyler Jones glanced at her coldly, "Why do you have to speak to me in such a self-pitying tone? Who you are, I knew clearly at the very beginning of our acquaintance."

As expected...

He would never change his view of her.

Christine Quinn took a deep breath, chuckled lightly, "Yes, where am I a kind person? Nor do I have Becca’s purity, so there’s no need for you to apologize to me, a lowly person like me can’t bear it!" Saying this, Christine Quinn shook off Skyler Jones’s hand and attempted to leave again.

However, Skyler Jones tightly grasped Christine Quinn and said coldly, "I haven’t finished saying what I have to say."

Christine Quinn was forced to stand still, "What you want to ask is probably about Becca’s situation in T City, right?"

Skyler Jones remained silent and didn’t deny.

Christine Quinn turned around, her beautiful face showing a cold smile, "I’m sorry to inform you, I returned to Y City because I didn’t want to disturb Howard Geoffrey and Becca being together. You probably don’t know yet, but you’re about to have a little nephew or niece, Howard Geoffrey is now putting aside work to accompany Becca every day, it’s so sweet..."

Skyler Jones’s face turned pale and he spat out directly, "Impossible."

Christine Quinn looked at Skyler Jones with amusement, "Is it that you can’t accept this reality, or are you unwilling to lose to Howard Geoffrey? Skyler Jones, you’re very clear about who is in Becca’s heart, I advise you to stop longing for her. If you really care about Becca, you shouldn’t ruin her happiness!"

Just as Christine Quinn finished speaking, Skyler Jones ruthlessly let go of Christine Quinn’s hand and turned away arrogantly.

Christine Quinn gently rubbed her wrist where Skyler Jones had squeezed painfully, watching his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions and bitterness.

Skyler Jones returned to the study room of the villa with a stern and cold demeanour.

He slammed the door shut, sweeping all the items off the desk in anger.

Suddenly, he took out his phone in a chilling manner and dialed a number.

T City.

In the room, Howard Geoffrey’s phone rang.

Rebecca Quentin, who was folding clothes, immediately picked up the phone Howard Geoffrey had placed on the bedside table, glanced at the number displayed on it, and then walked out of the room.

Seeing Howard Geoffrey playing with Andrew on the sofa, Rebecca Quentin smiled and said, "You have a call."

"Who’s calling?"

Rebecca Quentin answered, "Mr. Jones." Saying that, Rebecca Quentin handed the phone to Howard Geoffrey and took Andrew from his arms.
