Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO
Chapter 895 - 461: Extra: Is She a Backstabbing Woman? (Part 2)
Skyler Jones gently held Christine Quinn, closed his eyes, and inhaled the scent of her hair, softly saying, "Heaven has finally been kind to us."
"Oversky, actually, some time back, my heart often felt painful. I thought it was my body rejecting again...I was so worried, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of ruining the hard-won time we have together. Now I no longer have to worry about these things, I can be with you without any worries..."
Skyler Jones gently kissed Christine Quinn’s soft hair, "Foolish girl, even if something happens to your body, I won’t leave you."
Christine Quinn contently leaned on Skyler Jones’ shoulder, with tears of being moved in her beautiful eyes.
Skyler Jones’ voice was hoarse, "Promise me, don’t ever doubt my love for you again..."
Christine Quinn nodded vigorously, stood on tiptoe, and offered a kiss.
In the hall of Jones’ Mansion, a few wimpy kids were playing in the corner, while Christine Quinn and Rebecca Quentin sat on the sofa chatting.
"Sis, did the doctor really say there’s nothing serious with your body anymore?"
Christine Quinn smiled and nodded, "Yes, didn’t I tell you yesterday?"
"But I really can’t believe it..." Rebecca Quentin’s voice suddenly choked.
"Silly girl, I made you worry all this time."
Rebecca Quentin shook her head vigorously, "I didn’t do anything for you..."
Christine Quinn laughed, "What can you do for me?"
"I wasn’t there with you."
"You’re pregnant and can’t move easily, how could you stay with me? If you were really by my side, I’d have to take care of you!"
Rebecca Quentin was amused by Christine Quinn’s words, then she held Christine Quinn’s hand and said softly, "Sis, I can finally wish you and brother-in-law a lifetime of happiness..."
Christine Quinn bashfully smiled, "Stop talking about such things, they’re too cheesy."
"Seeing you and brother-in-law now so lovingly, I’m really happy... By the way, sis, have you heard about brother-in-law moving the headquarters to New York?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Christine Quinn nodded, "Oversky discussed it with me, I think it’s good."
"Yeah, this way our family can live together."
"Yes."
"Latest report, Nonta Real Estate Group is facing a severe financial crisis due to internal employee embezzlement. Recently, there have been rumors that Charles Douglas, chairman of Nonta, was hospitalized due to a heart attack from the company’s embezzlement shock, and his daughter, Jennifer Douglas, is being chased for debts by several partner companies. However, it is rumored that a secret business magnate has helped Nonta overcome this financial crisis. Although there is no reliable information about the identity of this business magnate, insiders claim that it is the business tycoon Skyler Jones, who was previously rumored to be involved with Jennifer Douglas..."
The news on TV interrupted the two sisters’ conversation.
At this moment, Christine Quinn and Rebecca Quentin’s gazes were fixed on the TV, and it wasn’t until the news ended that they came back to their senses.
Rebecca Quentin murmured, "What? Brother-in-law resolved Nonta’s crisis?"
Christine Quinn slightly frowned, "Probably not, the news always exaggerates. I heard that Nonta had problems and dragged Oversky into it to gain headlines."
Rebecca Quentin nodded, "I think so too... How could brother-in-law possibly help Nonta?"
Christine Quinn focused her attention on Jennifer Douglas, surrounded by reporters on TV, and snorted, "If he dares to help Jennifer Douglas, I’ll kick him away!!"
"Haha..." Rebecca Quentin laughed, "Kick brother-in-law away? Would you dare? Aren’t you afraid of sleepless nights?"
"You’re annoying... I’m not talking to you, I’m going back to my room, you watch the two kids."
At noon.
Skyler Jones walked into the room while loosening his tie and softly called, "Christine..."
Although he saw Christine Quinn sitting at the bedside, he didn’t understand why she hadn’t responded to him. Skyler Jones then went over to the bed, sat beside Christine Quinn, and gently said, "Why won’t you respond to me?"
Christine Quinn ignored Skyler Jones, pretending to be focused on the magazine at hand.
Skyler Jones chuckled, took the magazine away, lifted Christine Quinn’s beautiful chin, "Baby, did I offend you somehow?"
Christine Quinn brushed off Skyler Jones’ hand, "You did offend me, so please honestly confess your crimes to me now."
Skyler Jones looked puzzled, "I don’t even know what crime I’ve committed, how do I confess to you?"
Christine Quinn huffed, "Haven’t you seen the recent news?"
"Oh? What news makes my wife so angry?"
Christine Quinn huffed, "Everyone knows that Nonta Group has had big issues lately, but I heard someone helped Nonta solve this problem..."
"Oh? Who?"
"You, Mr. Jones, with your immense wealth, isn’t saving a Nonta a small effort?!!"
Skyler Jones shook his head, laughed, "News reports are often exaggerated. How could you even believe it?"
Christine Quinn turned her face aside angrily, "There must be some reason behind these rumors."
Skyler Jones turned Christine Quinn’s angry body around and smiled apologetically, "Do you really believe the news is true?"
"I’ll ask you directly if you helped Jennifer Douglas."
"I didn’t."
"Really?" Christine Quinn questioned, "Then what’s with the rumors about you secretly supporting Nonta?"
"These exaggerated reports are just to gain headlines... But I must honestly tell you, I did inject a significant amount of funds into Nonta."
"What?" Christine Quinn hit Skyler Jones’ body with her hand, "You liar, you said you didn’t help Jennifer Douglas... Skyler Jones, I hate you!!"
Christine Quinn threw a heavy punch on Skyler Jones’ body. Skyler Jones yelled in pain, only then did Christine Quinn angrily withdraw her hand and glare at Skyler Jones fiercely, "You scoundrel!!"
Skyler Jones reached out, trying to embrace Christine Quinn.
Christine Quinn shifted to the other side of the bed.
Skyler Jones sighed and explained, "Baby, even if you want to convict me, you should at least give me a chance to defend myself!"
Christine Quinn glanced at him angrily, "Speak."
Skyler Jones truthfully said, "You should remember the TSOL project, I had promised to share the profits with Nonta... So the funds I injected into Nonta were just to fulfill that promise."
"But why fulfill it when Nonta is in crisis?"
"I didn’t choose the timing, I’ve always intended to give this money to Nonta. It was Charles Douglas who hadn’t accepted it before."
