The bodyguard was even more puzzled, "President? We are acting on Assistant Antony’s orders."
"Who is Assistant Antony?"
The bodyguard was baffled by Rebecca Quentin’s question, "Assistant Antony is the one who just helped you out!"
Rebecca Quentin was montarily thrown into confusion.
When she was taken out just now, she thought "Assistant Antony" was Howard Geoffrey’s man, but why didn’t these bodyguards ntion Howard Geoffrey at all?
The bodyguard quickly said, "Miss Quentin, please get in the car, Assistant Antony said he would personally explain everything to you."
Rebecca Quentin suddenly shook her head, "I’m not getting in the car, I don’t know you guys..."
"Miss Quentin, please don’t be afraid, we an no harm."
As Rebecca Quentin turned to leave, a voice ca from behind.
Rebecca Quentin instinctively turned her head to look and saw that the person coming was indeed "Assistant Antony."
Just after dealing with the reporters, Assistant Antony walked up to Rebecca Quentin and smiled kindly, "I know you’re very confused right now, Miss Quentin. Please get in the car, and I’ll explain everything slowly inside."
"No, I don’t know you!!"
Assistant Antony continued to smile, "If Miss Quentin still wants to face those reporters, please feel free."
As he finished speaking, Rebecca Quentin saw the reporters swarming out from the "QCS" main gate.
Panic-stricken, Rebecca Quentin imdiately jumped into the car behind her.
Assistant Antony followed her inside.
In the car, Rebecca Quentin watched Assistant Antony warily, "Who exactly are you?"
Assistant Antony took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Rebecca Quentin, "I haven’t formally introduced myself yet, my na is Keith Antony, I am the assistant to the president of the ’QCS’ Group Company."
Upon hearing Keith Antony’s introduction, Rebecca Quentin was montarily stunned on her seat.
Keith Antony then opened a tablet and played the live news that had just been uploaded online for Rebecca Quentin to see.
"On behalf of our group company’s president, I want to clarify to everyone that recent rumors of our president and Miss Quentin being in a passionate relationship have garnered much attention. The president wants to say that love is a private matter, and while the president and Miss Quentin are indeed in a relationship, they wish to keep it low-key. However, so recent malicious negative news slandering Miss Quentin has impacted her assistance to the president during his inspection of work at ’QCS,’ forcing Miss Quentin to hold a press conference to clarify. The president just wants to warn everyone, any dia participating in tonight’s press conference will receive a lawyer’s letter from us. Additionally, rumors about Miss Quentin seducing Mr. Geoffrey in Y City are fabricated. The president was with Miss Quentin the entire ti those days! We hope everyone will sincerely wish the best for the president and Miss Quentin!"
That was what Keith Antony had just told the dia reporters.
"Palace" hotel.
Early in the morning, the phone rang again. Rebecca Quentin, leaning against the headboard deep in thought, picked up the phone.
Glancing at the phone screen, she pressed the answer button imdiately, "Aunt Clare!"
"Thank God you finally answered my call..."
"You want to ask about the news, right?"
"Yes."
For the past half year, she has rarely contacted Aunt Clare, not because the bond between master and servant was gone, but because she had pleaded with Aunt Clare not to contact her anymore.
Since she found out that the year Aunt Clare disappeared was due to being confined by Howard Geoffrey in Y City, she started worrying about the people around her for the first ti.
Her world had been shrouded in darkness ever since the day her family changed eight years ago. Aunt Clare, staying with her, was dood to a life far from ordinary, so she always hoped Aunt Clare could stay away. The year Aunt Clare disappeared, she had thought Aunt Clare had returned to the countryside, only to later learn that Aunt Clare was confined in Y City by Howard Geoffrey for uncovering the truth behind her father’s death... After the grudges of the past generation were settled, Aunt Clare wished to stay by her side, but she wouldn’t permit it, because Aunt Clare had already suffered enough for her.
Now Aunt Clare has a family with her beloved person in the countryside, living comfortably and harmoniously, proving her decision was right.
Rebecca Quentin shook her head and said, "I told you, don’t worry about anymore..."
"How can I not worry about you, you’ll always be my ’young lady.’ I was so worried about you when you didn’t answer my calls before. You have no idea how concerned I was."
Rebecca Quentin comforted, "The reason I didn’t answer your calls is that I’m doing very well."
Aunt Clare expressed doubt, "But you’ve been getting a lot of bad press lately, I..."
Rebecca Quentin imdiately interrupted Aunt Clare, "The fact that I can talk to you like this proves that the news has no impact on ."
"And the reports in the news? They say you’re dating that CEO of so ’Q’ decoration company, and last night he even had soone announce it, is it true?" Aunt Clare asked with hope in her voice.
First sister, then Isabella, now Aunt Clare...
She’d been on the phone since the morning.
With her sister and Isabella, it was easier to explain, because they didn’t believe the news and were just asking if she really knew the boss behind "QCS" and why he helped her, so she could explain truthfully. But with Aunt Clare...
Aunt Clare always hoped she would find a boyfriend and start over. If she told Aunt Clare that the news reports weren’t true, Aunt Clare would certainly be disappointed. The more critical issue is, with her recent string of negative news, Aunt Clare must have been worried for a long ti. If she revealed the truth to Aunt Clare, it would only make her worry more.
Resigned, Rebecca Quentin could only say, "Yes, it’s true."
Aunt Clare’s joyful voice ca over the phone, "That’s wonderful... Tell about him, what does he look like, what about his personality, his family background?"
Well...
Aunt Clare’s questions were so detailed. Fortunately, Rebecca Quentin had already prepared a response in her mind, "Don’t be so anxious. We’re just seeing each other now, who knows what the future will hold... But I promise, if we continue to be together, I’ll definitely introduce him to you."
"Good, good..." Aunt Clare responded excitedly, "I’ve been so worried about you these past months, afraid you couldn’t let go of Howard Geoffrey. Now I can finally relax."
"Mm."
"Take good care of yourself and don’t dwell on the past, Howard Geoffrey isn’t worth holding on to..."
"Mm."
After speaking with Aunt Clare, Rebecca Quentin let out a big sigh of relief, having managed to put her off.
Her mind flashed back to sothing Aunt Clare just said ― Howard Geoffrey isn’t worth holding on to.
