Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO
Chapter 928 - 478: Extra: Mr. Jones’s Hard Work 2
"Yes, I just want to know whether Skyler Jones is worth you loving him."
"And what about now?" Christine Quinn fixed her gaze on Jonathon Gibson, tears of grievance pooling in her eyes. "Is he worth it?"
Seeing the faint glimmer of tears in Christine Quinn’s eyes, knowing his actions had already deeply hurt her, Jonathon Gibson spoke with guilt, "When I did this, I already knew that the day I explained everything to you, I would definitely see the disappointment you feel for me in your eyes. But Christine, I don’t regret it... All I’ve ever wanted in this life is to see you happy. Skyler Jones has never been, in my opinion, someone who could give you happiness. But the person you happen to love is him, and I know I will never be able to change your heart in this lifetime, so the only thing I can do is choose to believe that Skyler Jones can bring you happiness... After all that happened, I can finally be sure that your judgment wasn’t wrong. Skyler Jones didn’t hurt you by failing to trust you. Just for that alone, he’s someone you can entrust your life to."
Crystal tears slowly slid from the corner of Christine Quinn’s eyes...
An indescribable feeling made her this sad.
A moment ago she had hated Jonathon Gibson’s deceit so much, but in this moment she could no longer bring herself to hate him...
"I’m sorry, Christine... I think right now you must hate me for creating this rift between you and Skyler Jones. Please forgive my selfishness, but everything I did was only because I hoped you could be happy."
Christine Quinn shook her head lightly, tears shooting from her eyes one by one.
Heart aching, Jonathon Gibson said softly, "Don’t cry, Christine... Whether or not we can still be friends in the future, I will still be the one who can appear at your side the moment you need someone. I sincerely wish you and Skyler Jones well."
Christine Quinn kept shaking her head, her tears falling in silence. She clamped a hand tightly over her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably.
Jonathon Gibson stood up, smiled at her, and said in a low voice, "Before we part, there’s one more thing I want to tell you... A couple of days ago I ran into Jennifer Douglas. She was in a dazed, crushed state. I think the news that Skyler Jones chose not to hold a grudge and even took you abroad on vacation also caught her off guard. I expect she’ll definitely go looking for Skyler Jones in these days. It’s about time you let Skyler Jones completely cut her out of your lives."
When Christine Quinn came back from outside, she happened to run into Justin Walter in the garden of Jones’ Mansion.
"Ma’am."
Justin Walter greeted her very respectfully.
Christine Quinn was still in a sorrowful mood. Seeing Justin Walter, she forced up a faint smile and gave a slight nod.
"Mr. Jones is already back. He didn’t see you and has been looking for you!" Justin Walter said with a smile.
Christine Quinn smiled faintly. "Oh, okay." She then walked toward the villa.
However, she hadn’t gone far when her steps suddenly halted. She turned and called out, "Wait, Justin."
Hearing Christine Quinn call him, Justin Walter turned around, looking at his boss’s wife in puzzlement as he walked toward her.
"Ma’am, is something the matter?"
Christine Quinn looked calmly at Justin Walter and said seriously, "I want to ask you something. Don’t tell Oversky about this, and you have to answer me honestly." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Justin Walter frowned slightly. "Ma’am, please go ahead."
"I asked Oversky whether he’d found the person who took those photos. Oversky told me he had, but he didn’t tell me who it was. Was it Jennifer Douglas?"
"This..." Justin Walter hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Don’t hide it from me. I already know it was Jennifer Douglas, but I want to know why Oversky kept it from me."
Hearing what Christine Quinn said, Justin Walter could only answer helplessly, "It was indeed Jennifer Douglas. But Mr. Jones wasn’t trying to hide it from you, he just didn’t want you to be troubled by anything to do with Jennifer Douglas anymore."
"Then, has Jennifer Douglas come to see Oversky in the past couple of days?"
"Yes, but it wasn’t Jennifer Douglas coming to see Mr. Jones—it was Mr. Jones who went to see Jennifer Douglas... What she did with the photos to create a rift between you and Mr. Jones made him very angry." What Justin Walter left unspoken was that Skyler Jones went to see Jennifer Douglas to settle the score.
"How did their conversation turn out?"
"There was no result, because Mr. Jones basically didn’t talk about anything with Miss Douglas. Mr. Jones has always been indifferent to her." As a subordinate, Justin Walter naturally knew what should be said and what shouldn’t.
"All right, thank you, Justin."
"It’s nothing. If you need anything, Ma’am, you can always instruct me."
"That’s all. Go on with your work!"
