The secretary added, "Miss Douglas has been waiting for a long time. I just heard that you were in a meeting with several supervisors, so I didn’t want to disturb you..."

Skyler Jones, however, was already looking down at the files at hand, and without any hesitation said, "Send her away."

"Oh."

The secretary was about to ask Jennifer Douglas to leave, but unexpectedly, Jennifer Douglas walked into Skyler Jones’s office at that moment.

"Miss Douglas, you can’t come in..." The secretary hastily stepped forward to stop her.

Jennifer Douglas wasn’t afraid of the secretary’s obstruction. She calmly looked at Skyler Jones and slowly said, "I just want to say a few words to you, and I’ll leave once I’m done."

Skyler Jones impatiently said, "Go ahead!"

The secretary quietly left.

Jennifer Douglas gazed at Skyler Jones for a long while before saying, "Skyler, I’ve come today specifically to thank you for your help with ’Nonta’..."

"There’s no need for thanks. You know I didn’t help you..."

"Do you really have to be so cold to me?"

Facing Jennifer Douglas’s sorrowful face, Skyler Jones showed no pity, "Samson, see her out." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The secretary came to Jennifer Douglas’s side, looking at her standing there with some difficulty.

Skyler Jones paid no more attention to Jennifer Douglas and left straight away.

However, just as Skyler Jones was leaving, Jennifer Douglas’s delicate figure blocked his path.

Seeing this, the secretary, caught in a dilemma, silently retreated once more.

Skyler Jones finally had to look directly at Jennifer Douglas, "I don’t want the company’s security to escort you out."

Jennifer Douglas looked pleadingly at Skyler Jones, her voice slightly hoarse, "I only need five minutes of your time. Once I’ve spoken, I’ll leave on my own."

Skyler Jones’s handsome face was stern, his dark gaze mixed with danger as it fell upon Jennifer Douglas.

"Skyler, do you know why ’Nonta’ suddenly faced a betrayal from its employees?"

"I don’t care about others’ private affairs."

"What if it’s related to your beloved wife, Christine Quinn?"

Skyler Jones furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"

Jennifer Douglas swallowed the bitterness in her throat and slowly said, "The person who betrayed the company is my father’s most trusted subordinate. They’ve been with my father for over twenty years and have always been loyal to the company. Unless there was a huge profit enticing him, there was no way he would have emptied the company’s funds to bring the company down. And the person who could entice him must be very influential... I’ve found out that the person who tempted my father’s confidant to betray ’Nonta’ is your wife, Christine Quinn."

"Jennifer Douglas, no one can play tricks in front of me, and you’re no exception."

Jennifer Douglas’s eyes widened as she asked, "Do you think I’m playing tricks to drive a wedge between you and Christine Quinn? If I really wanted to play such tricks, why would I use such an obvious tactic? You can confront Christine Quinn about my accusations, and you’ll naturally find out if I’m trying to sow discord."

"You say Christine wants to bring down ’Nonta’, why?"

"Because Miss Quinn never trusts me. She thinks I’m retreating to advance, step by step, to ruin your relationship with her, so she wants to deal with me," Jennifer Douglas accused, slightly agitated.

Skyler Jones coldly replied, "Christine is not that kind of person."

Jennifer Douglas’s tone softened, "Skyler... I also don’t believe the person you love deeply could be someone doing such underhanded things. But facts leave me no choice but to believe. Christine Quinn doesn’t have the capability to bring down ’Nonta’; she asked Howard Geoffrey for help. It was Howard Geoffrey who ordered someone to tempt my father’s confidant, causing the betrayals in the company."

"Jennifer Douglas, your tricks are terrible. If it was truly Howard Geoffrey secretly helping Christine Quinn, with your abilities, you wouldn’t have been able to discover him. He has always been meticulous."

Jennifer Douglas explained, "I’m well aware of Howard Geoffrey’s depth, but I have solid evidence proving Christine Quinn sought Howard Geoffrey’s help."

Skyler Jones squinted at Jennifer Douglas skeptically as she took a document out of her purse.

Jennifer Douglas handed the document to Skyler Jones and said, "This is a telecom record I obtained that proves Christine Quinn and Howard Geoffrey had several phone calls while she was in Y City, during the exact days when ’Nonta’ started having internal issues."

Looking at that document, Skyler Jones’s brows knitted even tighter.

Jennifer Douglas then placed the document on Skyler Jones’s desk, "You can choose to believe it or not, to look at it or not, I won’t pursue it, because with my abilities, there’s no way I could take on the Geoffrey-backed Christine Quinn... I just want to remind you, is this Christine Quinn truly the one you deeply love?"

Skyler Jones turned away, his thin lips coldly uttering, "Leave."

When Skyler Jones returned, Christine Quinn was in the living room chatting with her daughter.

The daughter immediately clung to Skyler Jones as he came back.

"Daddy..."

"Hmm."

Skyler Jones looked the same as usual, affectionately patting his daughter, "What have you and mommy been doing at home?"

"We went shopping in the city with Grandma, Mommy, and Auntie this morning, and just got back."

"Oh, did you have fun?"

"Yes, we bought lots of things. Mommy even bought a lot for Daddy."

"Really?"

Christine Quinn walked over affectionately linking her arm with Skyler Jones, "I picked out a few shirts from your favorite brand and some ties too. See if you like them."

Skyler Jones nodded.

Marie sensibly said, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m going to find Andrew to play."

Christine Quinn said, "Okay."

After Marie ran off, Christine Quinn took Skyler Jones back to the room linked arm in arm.

Once back in the room, Christine Quinn reached out and hugged Skyler Jones, coquettishly saying, "Why do you sound not excited at all? I have a good eye, you know."

Skyler Jones gently pushed Christine Quinn away, loosening his tie as he walked towards the depths of the room. "I know."

Christine Quinn didn’t sensitively notice Skyler Jones’s change in mood today. She smiled and followed him, "I’ll show you the shirts I picked for you."

Skyler Jones sat on the sofa, rubbing his brow, "No need, your taste is always good."

Seeing Skyler Jones look worn out, Christine Quinn walked behind the sofa and wrapped her arms around him, "What’s wrong? You look quite tired?"

"Hmm, a bit."
