Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 806 - 417: Extra Story: The Only Compensation I Can Give You

Jennifer Douglas awkwardly said, "Who let you come here...?" As she spoke, Jennifer looked apologetically at Skyler Jones, "I’m sorry, my dad doesn’t know about the stuff between us. I’ve explained it to him very clearly, but he still wants to find you..."

Skyler Jones said nothing, stood up, and left a faint remark, "You should explain it clearly to your father!"

Jennifer Douglas watched Skyler Jones’s departing figure, her eyes filled with sadness, but she still supported her father’s arm and stood up without saying a word.

Charles Douglas couldn’t stand his daughter suffering any grievance. He forcefully tapped his cane, "The matter isn’t clarified, no one leaves until it is."

Skyler Jones stopped in his tracks, his back facing Charles Douglas.

Charles Douglas addressed Skyler Jones, "I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with my daughter, but she likes you now and is so worried about you that she can’t eat or sleep. I can’t just sit by and ignore this."

"Daddy..."

"Do not speak!!" Charles Douglas sternly told his daughter.

With his back to Charles Douglas, Skyler Jones spoke coldly, "As someone else’s husband, to have a complicated relationship with your daughter is indeed a moral failing on my part, but I have not done anything to harm your daughter, nor played with or abandoned her."

Charles Douglas, enraged and disregarding courtesy, asked, "Are you saying you didn’t have a sexual relationship with my daughter?"

"You can ask your daughter about that yourself."

Charles Douglas looked at Jennifer Douglas, only to see her head lowered at that moment.

Apparently, Jennifer Douglas silently confirmed that there was no substantive relationship between her and Skyler Jones.

Yet Charles Douglas was still unsatisfied, "Then, since you don’t intend to be genuinely involved with my daughter, why did you accept my help on the TSOL project?"

"Clearly, I never asked for your help."

"This damned kid..." Charles Douglas was so angry that his cane shook.

"However, I should be grateful for your help... So, I will give sixty percent of the profits from the TSOL project to Nonta."

Hearing what Skyler Jones said, both Charles Douglas and Jennifer Douglas stood there stunned.

"You’re giving us such a huge amount of profit, doesn’t ’Oversky’ need any capital turnover for future projects?"

"There’s no need because there won’t be an ’Oversky’ anymore."

After leaving that statement, Skyler Jones walked straight upstairs, leaving Charles Douglas and Jennifer Douglas standing there for a long time, unable to process what had happened.

Upon hearing what Skyler Jones said to the Douglas father and daughter, Mrs. Geoffrey also couldn’t react for a long while.

It wasn’t until Skyler Jones brushed past Mrs. Geoffrey that she turned around swiftly, grabbing him urgently, "What are you saying? What do you mean there won’t be an ’Oversky’ anymore?"

In the past, Skyler Jones would have ignored Mrs. Geoffrey’s anxious expression, but at this moment, his eyes held a gentle softness previously unseen.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "I intend to..."

Mrs. Geoffrey walked disheartenedly to the door of Howard Geoffrey and Becca’s room, just as Rebecca Quentin came out from inside.

"Mom..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Mrs. Geoffrey came back to her senses in a daze and suddenly gripped Rebecca Quentin’s hand tightly, "Becca, can you help Oversky? He wants to sell the company..."

Rebecca Quentin frowned deeply.

Knock, knock.

Receiving no response, Rebecca Quentin slowly pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Skyler Jones sat at the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to the door.

He wore a black shirt, and his silhouette looked desolate and lonely.

"Mr. Jones." Rebecca Quentin called out softly.

Skyler Jones did not react, his gaze still fixed on the distance.

Rebecca Quentin came next to Skyler Jones, watching the vast floor-to-ceiling window just like him, and slowly said, "Mom told me you’re planning to sell ’Oversky’?"

Skyler Jones remained silent.

"’Oversky’ is your life’s effort, and you’ve always wanted it to grow bigger and stronger. Why the sudden decision to give it up?"

Skyler Jones pressed his lips together, still silent.

Rebecca Quentin turned to look at him, "Is it because of my sister?"

"I’m sorry, Becca. I bear more than half the responsibility for your sister’s departure." Skyler Jones finally spoke.

Rebecca Quentin shook her head, biting her lip and holding back the grief in her heart, she choked out, "The doctor said that the rapid deterioration of my sister’s condition was related to her mood... I think if we hadn’t ignored showing her care, and if you had treated her a little better, maybe her mood would have been in a good state, and her body wouldn’t have changed so suddenly..."
