Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 521 - 273: Rumors About Her and the QCS Boss (Part 2)
Why can he be so cruel, while she can’t?
What kind of person is he really?
She always thought he was someone with a sense of propriety, yet tonight he came to find her...
He clearly knows that doing so only brings her harm, so why does he still allow this to happen?
Tonight, he was sometimes indifferent, yet at times he had a tender look in his eyes, what’s that all about?
Countless questions tangled in Becca’s mind, and finally, Becca could only keep cursing that person in her heart to vent...
A private club in New York City.
Chester Robinson put down his phone, a smile playing on his lips.
"Boss, you seem very satisfied right now."
Chester responded with an "Oh," raising an eyebrow, "Do I?"
His subordinate, Keith Antony said, "It seems you’ve taken a liking to someone else’s discarded wife."
"Don’t describe her like that." Chester glared at him displeased.
"Oh... not happy? Since when did the boss become so narrow-minded that even a word can upset you?"
"Is that all you can say?"
"Of course, after all, this is the most important thing for you right now, but I must remind you that she..."
"Enough!" Seeing that Keith was about to bring up the unpleasant fact again, Chester impatiently interrupted him, "Talk about business."
"Alright!" Keith nodded and said seriously, "Boss, I’ve checked Miss Alice’s email login records, aside from the one time you logged in a year ago and Miss Alice’s recent login, the email was only logged in twice, there are no traces of a home wrecker logging in."
Chester narrowed his eyes mischievously.
Keith pondered, "I still can’t figure out how Howard Geoffrey managed to find the email password and log in without a trace?"
Chester pressed his lips together coldly.
"Boss, I’m wondering if we’re overthinking this, maybe this is all Miss Alice’s doing, she staged it to break off relations with you and to be with Howard Geoffrey..."
Chester replied coolly, "No, this matter must be related to Howard Geoffrey."
"Then he must have discovered your relationship with Miss Alice, he wants to destroy the trust between you two!"
"You think that’s his goal?"
Keith nodded, "He seems to be falling deeper in love with Miss Alice, you can see this from how he mercilessly rejected Miss Quentin in Y City."
"I want more convincing evidence."
"The evidence is from the people I sent to monitor Howard Geoffrey’s subordinates, Jason Wood and Lisa Cecily, who say they respect Miss Alice very much, almost treating her as the boss’s lady. Moreover, whenever Howard Geoffrey has time, he’s almost always with Miss Alice."
Chester shook his head, "The more flawless something seems, the more suspicious it becomes."
Keith couldn’t comprehend, "Why are you always wary of Howard Geoffrey? I think he’s not as impressive as rumored, if he were truly wise and shrewd, how could he not find out there was something fishy about Miss Quentin’s miscarriage, and even broke up with her over this?"
Chester laughed coldly, "Keith, do you know why I’ve made it this far?"
Keith looked utterly puzzled.
Chester’s mouth curled upwards, "Because I never underestimate my opponents."
Keith nodded.
The next second, Chester stood up and said blandly, "Did you not say Howard Geoffrey has two capable assistants, and you still can’t track the other one’s whereabouts, you have to keep checking on this."
"I understand."
"Also, Becca’s return time tonight is suspicious, I want you to check on Howard Geoffrey’s whereabouts tonight."
"Yes."
After a night’s contemplation, Becca was in a much better state the next day.
Early in the morning, she went to work as usual, but what she didn’t expect was that the turmoil, quiet for only a few days, had surged once again.
As soon as she entered the "QCS" headquarters, she saw her colleagues gathered in small groups, giving her suspicious and disdainful looks upon her arrival, some even holding newspapers and magazines, comparing them with her...
The feeling was just like what she experienced ten days ago at the T City branch...
Sure enough, she hadn’t even had time to find Manager Smith before someone called her to Director Lynn’s office.
The situation was identical to what happened in T City, as soon as Director Lynn saw her, the first thing she handed her was a magazine.
Becca looked at the magazine on the ground with a start, the headline news was exactly the one that broke ten days ago in T City.
Becca’s face instantly turned ashen, unable to believe why this news, after settling down, was brought back to the headlines once more, and this time it was reported by a globally circulating magazine.
"Secretary Quentin, I never expected you to have such a background!!"
Director Lynn sat back with arms crossed, looking at Becca coldly, extremely displeased.
Becca lifted up her gaze from the magazine, "This report is inaccurate."
Director Lynn tutted, "I don’t care if the report is true or false, but your identity as Howard Geoffrey’s ex-wife should not be wrong, right?"
Becca stayed silent.
Why do others care so much about her past? Just because her ex-husband is Howard Geoffrey?
"I didn’t expect our ’QCS’ to have such talents hidden, let alone someone as ’important’ as you!"
Hearing the derision in Director Lynn’s voice, Becca calmly replied, "Director Lynn, I believe ’QCS’ does not take employees’ relationship histories into account during recruitment."
Director Lynn half shut her eyes, sizing Becca up.
When Becca first came to New York, Director Lynn didn’t have much impression of her, as Becca’s looks were pretty but definitely not stunning.
Now knowing that Becca is actually the ex-wife of the esteemed president of the "Skytop" group, Howard Geoffrey, Director Lynn couldn’t help but feel somewhat envious and resentful, because even as Howard Geoffrey’s ex-wife, it’s still a notable title, not to mention she shared a bed with Howard Geoffrey, which utterly destroys the image of the male god in their hearts.
Director Lynn’s words came with a hint of acid, "Since Secretary Quentin is Howard Geoffrey’s ex-wife, the breakup fee from him alone should last you a lifetime, how come you’re still working?" Becca answered truthfully, "I enjoy being self-reliant."
Actually, she and Howard Geoffrey seldom talked about money.
A few years ago when they divorced, because of the grievances of the previous generation, he was harsh to her, and even though they talked about divorce settlement, it wasn’t much, and she never considered accepting it.
