"I went to see Chester."
"Chester?"
Christine Quinn nodded, "It was Becca who wanted to see him... She was afraid Howard Geoffrey would find out, so she asked to cover for her."
Skyler Jones sighed in relief, reached out to wrap his arm around Christine Quinn’s waist, "Let’s go back to the room."
"Hey, did I say you could touch ?" Christine Quinn removed Skyler Jones’s hand from around her waist, then walked toward the second floor on her own.
Skyler Jones shook his head with a smile and followed her up.
As she entered the room, Christine Quinn turned around to warn the man behind her before he could approach, "Don’t touch , or I’ll leave this room."
Skyler Jones raised his hands, spreading them out, "Alright, I won’t get close to you. How about I just stand here and talk to you?"
"There’s no need to be so formal; let’s just talk on the sofa."
Skyler Jones nodded.
Christine Quinn then sat down on the sofa, and Skyler Jones obediently sat across from her.
Skyler Jones was the first to speak, "How long are you going to punish ?"
"I thought I said it would be for all my life."
"Christine..."
Christine Quinn lowered her head and muttered an aside, "But I also know that’s impossible..."
Skyler Jones heard this and smiled, ignoring Christine Quinn’s warning, scooting over to hug her waist, "Then I..."
Who would have thought, Christine Quinn still pushed Skyler Jones away, firmly saying, "I an it’s impossible, but the ti hasn’t co yet."
Skyler Jones fell right back into disappointnt, maintaining a fifty-centiter distance from Christine Quinn, compromising, "There’s no need to be so distant... I’ve already promised you I won’t misbehave."
"Who knows if you..." Christine Quinn mumbled.
Skyler Jones imdiately leaned in again, hugging his sweet wife, "From now on, I assure you I’ll keep my promises."
This ti, Christine Quinn didn’t resist; she let him hold her.
She asked, "Why did you co back from the company so early this afternoon?"
Skyler Jones answered honestly, "There’s nothing much to do; I just wanted to co back and be with you."
Christine Quinn snuggled in Skyler Jones’s arms, playing with his striped tie, and softly said, "You haven’t told why Jennifer Douglas will never co back."
"Because she’s scared."
"Hmm?"
"Actually, before Jennifer Douglas went to India, she ca to France to find ."
Christine Quinn raised a fist and lightly hit Skyler Jones, "How many more things are you hiding from ?" She nearly forgot, she had indeed investigated this before; when he was in France, Jennifer Douglas was also there. At the ti, she mistakenly thought they were rekindling their relationship in France, which is why she sadly considered leaving New York.
"Sweetheart, listen to first..."
"Alright, go ahead."
"She ca to find because of her father."
"Huh? What does this have to do with Charles Douglas?"
Skyler Jones smiled and then picked up a nearby magazine, flipping to a page.
Christine Quinn took the magazine, glanced at it, and was suddenly stunned.
Nonta Group Chairman Charles Douglas embroiled in a mafia vendetta, police have intervened in the investigation..."
Christine Quinn was puzzled, "Mafia vendetta?"
Skyler Jones smiled, "You’re so smart, take a guess."
Christine Quinn analyzed, "Charles Douglas has always been a law-abiding person in the industry; he couldn’t have provoked the mafia unless soone set him up..."
Christine Quinn suddenly looked at Skyler Jones, "Is it related to you?"
Skyler Jones maintained a faint smile, "Since I can spread rumors to tie Charles Douglas to the mafia, naturally I can retract those rumors... So right now, Charles Douglas is like a grasshopper on a string; I can make him live or die at will."
"I understand... Jennifer Douglas went to France to beg you to spare her father because she already knew you were aware of everything."
"Smart." Skyler Jones tapped his sweet wife’s cute nose.
"So her going to India wasn’t her choice; you forced her to go, and for her father’s safety, she will never return."
"My wife is getting smarter by the day." Skyler Jones couldn’t resist giving his sweet wife a kiss.
Christine Quinn suddenly lowered her head, mumbling, "I’m actually the fool."
"What’s wrong?"
Christine Quinn murmured, "Actually, before Jennifer Douglas went to India, I also t with her... At that ti, she acted very at ease in front of , even saying she felt satisfied with her life... Looking back now, she was being forced to go to India and was actually not resigned to it, so she deliberately appeared in front of , said things to make misunderstand, purposely trying to make suspicious of you..."
