Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 807 - 417: Extra: The Only Compensation I Can Give You_2
Skyler Jones closed his eyes in pain, "I will donate all my assets in her name..."
"You don’t need to do that."
"It’s the only thing I can do, even though it’s hardly any compensation."
"You don’t want the company, so what are you going to do now?"
"I remember she once told me she wanted to see the Aegean Sea in Greece and visit the Florence Cathedral in Italy... She wants to see the places she longs to visit."
"Mr. Jones, do you really care about my sister?"
The look in Skyler Jones’s eyes grew increasingly dim, "I no longer have the right to say such things."
Rebecca Quentin gazed at Skyler Jones for a long time, feeling a sense of reluctance...
In the next moment, Skyler Jones stood up from the chair.
Rebecca Quentin asked him, "Where are you going?"
"I must return to Y City... Marie is temporarily in New York, so please take care of her," he said.
"Are you going back to Y City to deal with ’Oversky’?"
Skyler Jones replied softly, "Yes."
Watching Skyler Jones walk away, Rebecca Quentin suddenly called out to him, "Wait, Mr. Jones..."
Skyler Jones halted his steps.
After struggling in her heart for a long time, Rebecca Quentin finally spoke, "My sister is still alive."
If Rebecca Quentin hadn’t disclosed it, Skyler Jones would never have imagined Christine Quinn was on Lorenzana Island in Italy.
Lorenzana Island is located in a remote part of Italy, beautiful yet little known, with fewer than a hundred residents. Its greatest feature is tranquility and serenity.
White houses, white beaches, white waves...
No cars, no smell of gasoline, no roar of engine, no taxi drivers honking at you to get in. It’s a real-life utopia.
Everything is so peaceful and harmonious.
"Mr. Jones, there are places in this world that are so quiet and peaceful."
Skyler Jones embarked on this journey with only one subordinate, who is also his most capable assistant in handling matters.
Skyler Jones took off his sunglasses and looked up at the entire island.
Palm trees swaying in the sea breeze, white waves crashing on the beach, and island residents wearing simple clothes... This place, if not visited in person, might lead one to believe they’re in a dream.
Such an unknown yet incredibly beautiful place, if not deliberately sought out, few would know the world has such a beautiful and serene place.
She... had planned her future long ago.
There’s no denying that this island is a perfect choice for one seeking seclusion. Even for him, despite knowing the island’s name from Rebecca Quentin’s words and confirming its exact location, it still took him several days.
Skyler Jones asked, "Are all the houses on this island here?"
His assistant replied, "Yes, there are sixteen homes altogether."
Skyler Jones looked at the row of white houses in front of him, imagining Christine Quinn in one of them, remembering Rebecca Quentin’s words.
"Mr. Jones, the reason I told you about my sister isn’t because I hope you find her, but because I don’t want to see you continue living so despondently... However, I need you to promise me one thing: do not disturb her, because I promised my sister I wouldn’t let you disrupt her life anymore."
Stopping his recollection of Rebecca Quentin’s words, Skyler Jones asked his assistant, "Can we communicate with the inhabitants on this island?"
His assistant replied, "The locals speak Sicilian. I’ve contacted a resident who understands English and Sicilian; he can facilitate communication with the island’s inhabitants."
Just as his assistant finished speaking, an elder dressed in island attire approached Skyler Jones.
The assistant began conversing with the elder in English.
"Is there an Oriental woman who recently moved here?"
"Are you referring to Miss Quinn who has been residing here for over a month?"
The elder’s words made the assistant excited, and Skyler Jones’s eyes were filled with a hopeful gleam.
"Yes, it’s Miss Quinn."
The elder smiled gently upon hearing this, "Here on our island, we don’t usually welcome outsiders. But for some reason, everyone liked Miss Quinn as soon as she arrived... Perhaps it’s because she’s quite beautiful."
"Where is Miss Quinn now?"
The elder pointed with his hand, "Over there, behind that house... Every day at this time, she walks on the beach with her boyfriend."
The assistant was stunned, "Boyfriend?"
In the serene afternoon, a gentle breeze brought a refreshing feel, white waves gently kissed the shore, with the salty scent of the seaside in the air.
Christine Quinn in a Hawaiian beach dress, walking barefoot on the sand...
The sun and the beach make her slender frame appear not so frail; her face, not very flushed, looked more vibrant due to the radiant smile she wore.
She always shows her strongest side in front of him, so even in this encounter, fate didn’t allow him to see her weakest moments.
However, her body still hasn’t fully recovered. After merely walking a few meters, she felt somewhat tired, but fortunately, someone was there to support her.
At this moment, she turned to smile at the person beside her.
Her gentle smile entered Skyler Jones’s view. In that instant, time seemed frozen; he felt as if his heart stopped beating.
But the person standing alongside her, supporting her—Jonathon Gibson—was glaringly conspicuous in his eyes.
Skyler Jones’s assistant furrowed his brow on seeing this scene, "Mr. Jones, how come Jonathon Gibson is... is here?"
Upon asking this question, the assistant realized he shouldn’t have, as it might agitate his boss.
Skyler Jones said nothing, tightening his cold lips into a hard line.
The assistant did not dare utter another word, bowing his head in silence.
Watching from afar as Jonathon Gibson and Christine Quinn strolled and laughed on the beach, Skyler Jones felt a mix of emotions, yet his face showed little sign of change.
