"Fortunately, Miss Douglas is kind-hearted. She didn’t actually do anything to harm Madam. She just hoped Madam would give up when facing difficulties. She hadn’t expected Madam wouldn’t back down and would repeatedly resolve the trust crisis with you. It was only when she had no other choice that Miss Douglas revealed the photos, even though she knew you would find out she was the mastermind behind it... But for you, she has no regrets."

Justin Walter’s long speech thoroughly analyzed Jennifer Douglas’s intentions.

But how could Justin Walter know what kind of thoughts Jennifer Douglas had? How could Skyler Jones not be clear about it?

In fact, ever since the "pregnancy" incident involving Jennifer Douglas erupted, he had suspected that she was the manipulator behind the scenes.

But he gave Jennifer Douglas a chance—by choosing to trust her.

Who would have thought that the photo incident would explode again...

This time, Jennifer Douglas touched his bottom line.

If before, he hadn’t been utterly indifferent because he had somewhat selfishly used Jennifer Douglas to provoke Christine Quinn, the outbreak of the photo incident was Jennifer Douglas’s own undoing.

"You speak so much on her behalf, I really question if she has bribed you." There wasn’t a hint of emotion in his words, Skyler Jones said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Justin Walter trembled all over, his tone became timid, "Mr. Jones, please don’t joke with your subordinate like this, I’m just stating facts."

"Then drive your car and stop talking."

Justin Walter immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Skyler Jones leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes for a short rest.

Christine Quinn hummed a tune in the room while tidying up the things she brought back from the trip...

After a long flight, she was indeed tired, but she wanted to wait for Skyler Jones to come back and sleep together. She liked to snuggle with his arm and sleep.

The phone’s ringtone interrupted Christine Quinn folding clothes. She searched for her phone, and her once joyful face turned pale the moment she saw that familiar number displayed on the screen.

She initially didn’t want to answer, but she understood there were some things she couldn’t avoid, and she also needed to clarify with that person. Finally, she calmly pressed the answer button. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hello..."

"Christine." Jonathon Gibson’s voice was noticeably more worn out than before.

"Why are you still calling?" Christine Quinn’s tone was unfriendly.

"Thank you for still being willing to take my call."

"I took your call just to make it clear... From now on, we will no longer be friends, and I don’t want to see you again."

After a long silence, Jonathon Gibson finally spoke, "Can I see you one more time?"

"I said, we’re no longer friends, and I can’t see you again. This is the last call I’m making to you today."

Jonathon Gibson slowly, softly, and carefully said, "If I tell you that nothing happened between us, and the things I said to you that day were just to test how much Skyler Jones loves you, would you still be willing to meet me one more time?"

Christine Quinn widened her eyes in disbelief, "What did you say? We... we didn’t..."

"Come and meet me. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll be waiting for you at our usual place where we meet for coffee."

It took Christine Quinn a while to react until Jonathon Gibson had already ended the call.

When Skyler Jones returned home, he saw Christine Quinn sitting by the window, lost in thought.

He put down his suit jacket and walked over.

Christine Quinn was deep in thought and didn’t notice that Skyler Jones had returned until he sat beside her, holding her affectionately, and gently asked, "Why are you sitting here alone, daydreaming?"

When he embraced her, she snapped out of it, looking at him with delight, "When did you come back..."

"Just now."

"I didn’t even hear the sound of the door opening."

"You were so lost in your thoughts."

Christine Quinn felt embarrassed.

Skyler Jones asked, "What were you thinking about so intensely?"

"Oh, nothing, just daydreaming." In fact, she was thinking about what Jonathon Gibson had said to her, but she didn’t want to tell Skyler Jones about it yet. She would tell him after seeing Jonathon tomorrow.

"Why don’t you take a nap?" Skyler Jones kissed Christine Quinn’s cheek, asking lovingly.

Christine Quinn lazily leaned on Skyler Jones’s shoulder and wrapped her arm around his, "I want to wait for you to come back so we can sleep together."

He turned his face, his prominent nose inhaling the light fragrance of her hair, "Then, I’ll carry you to bed to sleep."
