CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 54: IT’S NOT THAT I DON’T CARE (2)
Rebecca Quentin replied earnestly, "First, I want to tell you, your sense of crisis is unnecessary. Whether in the past or now, I have never thought about being with Howard Geoffrey, nor has he ever cared about me. But I am very glad you chose to be honest with me about Geoffrey, as this is not only my salvation but also yours... Also, I hope you understand that if a person lives in hatred all their life, they will never be happy. Now you have everything, you should learn to cherish it more..."
Christine Quinn did not answer, for the first time weakening herself in front of Rebecca Quentin.
At that moment, Rebecca Quentin turned around, and before taking a step, she calmly said, "I’ve had enough. Revenge will only bring us momentary pleasure, but it will ruin our entire lives. Such a life is too tiring, too exhausting... I won’t call you ’sister,’ but I can apologize on behalf of my father and hope your life will get better from now on!"
After returning to her room, Rebecca Quentin made a call to Aunt Clare.
Aunt Clare seemed to be asleep, sounding groggy when she answered the phone, "Hello..."
"Aunt Clare."
"Miss..."
"Tell me honestly, did my father do a lot of things to hurt Christine Quinn?"
Aunt Clare seemed to suddenly wake up, stammering, "Uh..."
"Was the biggest harm my father orchestrated against Christine the act of having someone insult her?"
"Miss, how did you know about this?" Aunt Clare was shocked.
"All of this was told to me by Christine Quinn. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have known that my father, whom I always took pride in, has a heart full of filth."
"You can’t say that, Miss. Many things the master also had no choice..."
Rebecca Quentin interrupted Aunt Clare, disappointing her and saying, "No matter what unavoidable reasons he had, he has caused Christine Quinn an irreparable harm that will last a lifetime..."
"Miss..."
"Alright, don’t say anything more. I might return to T City soon, we can talk then!"
"Okay."
Ending the call, Rebecca Quentin sat lost by the bedside.
Suddenly, her world seemed brighter, as if everything had become clear...
Let all the grievances and feuds end at this moment!
She had long been tired, just forcing herself to hold on, and now she could finally have a good sleep...
Lying down, Rebecca Quentin slowly closed her eyes, but after tossing and turning for a long time, she couldn’t sleep as she imagined. The reason was that the figure of a tall man lingered in her mind without respite.
She had never thought that he had done nothing, only coldly observed all that Christine Quinn did to her...
Although not as sinister as the direct instigator, it was still not kind, of course, she couldn’t blame or forgive him...
However, she could understand his indifference, because he always treated things or people he didn’t care about with indifference, let alone that she was the object of his fiancée’s hatred.
Nighttime.
Since she brought nothing upon arrival, Rebecca Quentin had nothing to pack, just continuously watching the clock on the wall, waiting for Howard Geoffrey to arrive.
She naturally had some things to tell him, and she needed his help to leave America.
However, tonight, when the hour hand pointed to ten, Howard Geoffrey still hadn’t shown up.
Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
At this moment, a knocking sounded at the door. Instinctively thinking it was Howard Geoffrey, Rebecca Quentin immediately got up, only to see Mrs. Geoffrey opening the door the next moment.
Mrs. Geoffrey warmly said, "Becca."
Rebecca Quentin smiled, "Aunt, you’ve returned!"
Mrs. Geoffrey moved to Rebecca Quentin’s side, apologetically said, "It’s so late, waiting for Howard?"
"Uh..."
"I’m really sorry, Howard needed to return to the Flowery Kingdom tonight, he said there’s a project to discuss in T City."
Rebecca Quentin was stunned, "He leaves tonight?"
Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, "It might have been a last-minute decision, don’t overthink it, Howard will return in a few days."
Rebecca Quentin suddenly got anxious, "No, Aunt, I need to go back with him, is he still not on the plane yet?"
Mrs. Geoffrey teased, "Won’t part for these few days?"
"Aunt, I don’t have time to explain to you now, can you tell me if he’s boarded the plane yet?" Rebecca Quentin asked anxiously.
Mrs. Geoffrey replied, "He mentioned leaving at eleven; he probably hasn’t boarded yet."
"Is the private airport far from here?"
"Not far, just in our suburb, about forty to fifty minutes by car."
Rebecca Quentin was quite anxious, "Aunt, could you please have the driver take me there, maybe I can catch up with him."
Mrs. Geoffrey smiled knowingly, "Alright, since Howard’s going to T City alone, it’s perfect with that woman not around, you and Howard can get along better... I’ll ask the driver to take you immediately."
"Thank you, Aunt, thank you..."
"Silly girl, you’re going to be my son’s daughter-in-law, how can we be so polite."
The driver rushed Rebecca Quentin to Howard Geoffrey’s private airport as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, when Rebecca Quentin arrived at the airport, she happened to see Howard Geoffrey getting out of the car, perhaps in her haste, she didn’t think and shouted out, "Howard!"
In an instant, the entire place froze, as few dared to directly call his name.
Rebecca Quentin didn’t care whether Howard Geoffrey noticed her at that moment; she ran to him.
However, several bodyguards wearing black sunglasses blocked her way.
Rebecca Quentin stood there helplessly, her eyes eagerly looking at Howard Geoffrey.
Seeing her, Howard Geoffrey remained indifferent, with no unusual expression on his handsome face.
Following Howard Geoffrey, Jason Wood gestured to the bodyguards to stand down, then withdrew with the group of bodyguards.
Rebecca Quentin immediately went up to Howard Geoffrey and softly said, "I want to go with you."
Hearing what Rebecca Quentin said, Howard Geoffrey frowned.
Suddenly realizing she’d spoken wrongly, Rebecca Quentin quickly corrected, "Uh, I mean, I want to take your plane back to the Flowery Kingdom!"
Howard Geoffrey didn’t answer, the deep light hidden in his eyes made it difficult to guess his thoughts.
Rebecca Quentin then explained, "Actually, I came to America because..."
No one expected, before Rebecca Quentin finished speaking, Howard Geoffrey had turned around, striding away, seeming unwilling to spend any more time on her.
"I..."
The words Rebecca Quentin was about to say were swallowed back down as she watched him turn and leave, then turned again to see he had already boarded the plane.
Without any hesitation, Rebecca Quentin chased after him...
Three hours later.
