The reason Aunt Clare spoke this way wasn’t because Howard Geoffrey had once confined her, but because she thought Geoffrey was an extrely unfeeling and cold-blooded person. Aunt Clare ca to this conclusion after Geoffrey broke off contact with her following her miscarriage.
She was relieved that she didn’t have Aunt Clare by her side; otherwise, Aunt Clare would be worrying about her right now.
However, the negative news has finally passed...
Tonight, when Assistant Antony spoke to the dia on behalf of the "QCS" owner, he cleared away all the dark clouds surrounding her.
Because of what Assistant Antony said, she smoothly transford from a "despicable woman clingy to her ex-husband" to the prospective mistress of a well-known group, and those negative news stories beca baseless, putting Alice Robinson at a disadvantage...
This kind of dramatic turnaround surely left many people stunned, right?
To be honest, even though she was left confused, she couldn’t help but feel grateful to the mysterious person that Assistant Antony ntioned.
Yes, Assistant Antony explained to her that the reason his boss was willing to help her was that soone asked his boss for a favor, and it was soone she knew.
Even though Assistant Antony insisted on not telling her who helped her behind the scenes, she already guessed it was Howard Geoffrey!
Who else could it be, soone she knows that could persuade such a big figure as the boss of "QCS," if not Geoffrey, who promised to help her tonight?
She had been worried that his help would upset Alice Robinson, never expecting him to use such a perfect solution!
Honestly, she was quite happy that he was willing to help her.
The last ti her negative news broke out, he chose to ignore it, which really disappointed her...
Even if the feelings have faded, and he no longer cares about her, they did share eight years together, which made his cold and indifferent attitude even more disheartening.
But tonight, he didn’t let her down after all.
With a sweet smile on her lips, after hesitating since last night, she finally decided to give him a call. Having asked for his help, she should thank him...
Rebecca Quentin excitedly picked up the hotel phone and dialed the familiar number, but as she reached the last digit, she suddenly stopped.
After hesitating for a while, she slowly put down the phone, and the excitent on her face gradually faded, leaving a trace of lancholy.
It was still quite early now, and he probably hadn’t gone to the office yet. Would calling him disturb his rest? To be precise, disturb him and his girlfriend’s rest.
Yes, for a mont, she almost forgot that he had a girlfriend.
Rebecca Quentin hid the disappointnt in her eyes, which were as clear as water, as she hung up the phone, sighed, and leaned back against the headboard again.
Once again, she reminded herself in her heart...
Rebecca Quentin, have you forgotten? He doesn’t care about you anymore...
Perhaps he helped by asking a friend with just a simple phone call, and it’s not a big deal. Why are you so excited?
At that mont, another voice erged from within her heart...
Who says he doesn’t care?
If he really didn’t care, what was he doing coming to her the night before last? And why did he willingly help her out last night?
If he really didn’t care, he would have continued to ignore it this ti...
These two voices, like an angel and a demon, constantly tangled in Rebecca Quentin’s mind until she heard a knock on the room door.
Wearing a nightgown over her pajamas, Rebecca Quentin got out of bed to open the hotel room door.
Seeing the visitor, Rebecca Quentin called out pleasantly, "Doctor Robinson."
There was a gentle smile on Chester Robinson’s handso face as well, as he raised a newly purchased pizza and asked, "There’s no sandwich you like here, how about pizza?"
Rebecca Quentin smiled serenely, "Thank you."
The two of them sat at the small bar in the room and started eating.
Chester Robinson couldn’t help but tease as he watched Rebecca Quentin wolfing down the food, "Haven’t been eating properly these past two days, huh?"
Rebecca Quentin nodded vigorously.
"I’m sorry I was in etings at the hospital all day yesterday and didn’t know about the magazine issue. It wasn’t until I saw the news today and saw you on TV that I realized sothing big had happened to you."
Chewing a mouthful of pizza, Rebecca Quentin mumbled indistinctly, "It’s okay, it’s all over now."
Chester Robinson suddenly blurted out, "Congratulations."
Rebecca Quentin was taken aback, "Ah?"
"I saw that the owner behind ’QCS’ announced their relationship with you..."
Rebecca Quentin swallowed the pizza with effort and quickly said, "You don’t actually believe the news, do you?"
