Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 656 - 342: Geoffrey’s Winning Process (Part 2)

Alice slowly stood up, her slightly dim gaze directed toward Rebecca Quentin.

Rebecca Quentin met Alice’s gaze, her eyes full of confusion.

Alice locked eyes with Rebecca Quentin for a second, then shifted her gaze to Howard Geoffrey, "I suppose you haven’t told your wife everything yet. If you don’t mind, I can help you say it... Of course, there are also some things I wish to say to your wife privately."

Howard Geoffrey furrowed his brow, tightening his grip around Rebecca Quentin slightly.

Alice chuckled softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll tell the truth... Perhaps I can even say something nice for you."

Rebecca Quentin wore an expression of bewilderment.

Howard Geoffrey pondered quietly for a second, then gently released Rebecca Quentin, supporting her frail shoulders, and affectionately whispered, "I’ll wait for you outside."

Rebecca Quentin nodded blankly.

Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s forehead, his gaze filled with infinite love as he looked at her.

Rebecca Quentin noticed an unusual sense of unease and hesitation on Howard Geoffrey’s familiar handsome face, but ultimately, he released her with unspoken emotion and walked out of the hospital room.

After Howard Geoffrey left the room, Alice gave Rebecca Quentin a slight smile.

Rebecca Quentin felt somewhat uncomfortable, the defensiveness she held against Alice still lingering at the bottom of her clear eyes.

"Miss Quentin... Oh no, I should now call you Mrs. Geoffrey..." Alice spoke softly with a faint smile.

Rebecca Quentin looked at Alice calmly, her expression cool.

"Congratulations on finally becoming Mrs. Geoffrey."

Thinking of Alice’s past trickery and hurt, Rebecca Quentin’s tone was not friendly, "Whatever you want to say, just say it quickly!!"

Alice smirked, "Don’t you want to hear about the confrontation between Howard Geoffrey and Chester Robinson?"

Rebecca Quentin replied calmly, "Howard Geoffrey will certainly tell me."

"Do you know why he’s hesitating to tell you the whole thing?"

Rebecca Quentin fell silent. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Alice laughed lightly, "From your expression, it’s clear you don’t know anything..."

Rebecca Quentin frowned in displeasure, "Why are you so smug about knowing?"

Alice shook her head with a smile, "I’m not being smug. Actually, speaking to you today, I have no malicious intent. I’m just curious about why you haven’t sought me out since learning Howard Geoffrey quietly cared for me?"

Rebecca Quentin’s clear eyes betrayed a hint of melancholy, but she remained silent.

Alice crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, "See, this is you, Rebecca Quentin... Indecisive, lacking self-confidence, always hesitant and careful, afraid of this and that, and lacking a sense of security. Even knowing your husband might care about another woman, you didn’t dare to confront him. To put it nicely, you’re cherishing your relationship with Howard Geoffrey. To put it bluntly, people like you just wallow in self-pity, withdrawing at the slightest setback... It’s truly hard for me to understand why Howard Geoffrey was drawn to you."

Rebecca Quentin stared intensely at Alice, lightly biting her lower lip.

Alice scoffed, "In terms of personality, I’m extreme, but you’re no weakling. In terms of beauty, I surpass you, and compared to me, you’re even ordinary. In terms of depth, I might not rival you, but the most important thing for a woman isn’t depth—it’s having a heart that always considers her partner."

"I don’t need you to preach to me."

Alice sighed, shrugged her shoulders, "I’m not trying to belittle you, just pure jealousy... Jealous that you’re so lucky to have so many outstanding men around you." Then, Alice spread her hands, lowering her previously arrogant stance, "OK, let’s get to the point."

Rebecca Quentin barely had time to digest what Alice just told her, and Alice had already begun again, "I’m not one to make simple matters complicated, so I’ll tell you directly..."

"Howard Geoffrey has always planned to deal with Chester Robinson, but Chester Robinson is no easy target. Chester Robinson has been well aware that Howard Geoffrey wants to use evidence linking some of Chester’s companies with drug trafficking groups in N City to accuse Chester Robinson and send him to prison. Chester has long thought of countermeasures, and to keep Howard Geoffrey from noticing, he deliberately stayed under the radar, allowing Howard Geoffrey to step into his trap. Surely, your visit to Chester Robinson elicited suspicion toward Howard Geoffrey, prompting Howard Geoffrey to finally act, moving the plan up to the wedding day. Howard Geoffrey’s outrage fell right into Chester Robinson’s trap, as Chester originally intended to ruin your wedding with Howard Geoffrey, and by choosing to act on the wedding day, it means that if Chester can counteract, Howard Geoffrey will inevitably miss his wedding with you that day..."
