Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO
Chapter 871 - 449: Side Story: Speaking Frankly_2
"If we’re going to clear this up completely, I think I should be there too."
"Alright... I think I just heard Oversky say he scheduled at Star Island Cafe, I’ll have the driver take you there."
"Okay, thanks Mom."
As soon as Christine Quinn entered Star Island Cafe, she saw Skyler Jones and Jennifer Douglas quietly talking in a corner of the cafe.
Christine Quinn originally wanted to walk straight over, but who would’ve thought that Skyler Jones and Jennifer Douglas had already finished their conversation, and at this moment Skyler Jones was getting up to leave the cafe.
Christine Quinn stayed where she was, preparing to wait for Skyler Jones to come over, but unexpectedly saw Jennifer Douglas chasing after him.
Just a few meters away from Christine Quinn, Jennifer Douglas blocked Skyler Jones’s path.
Because the distance had closed significantly, Christine Quinn could hear their conversation...
Jennifer Douglas was the first to speak, "I really apologize for what my father did, he fabricated all of this just to stand up for me, but please understand his intentions, in any case, I won’t let him do such outrageous things anymore... I know you’ll be returning to Y City in a couple of days, I want to give you a gift, once you’ve seen it, keep it if you want, discard it if you don’t, we will have nothing to do with each other after."
With that, Jennifer Douglas placed the gift on the coffee table beside her.
Skyler Jones’s expression remained indifferent, and he did not respond to Jennifer Douglas.
After one last glance at Skyler Jones, Jennifer Douglas left with her bag.
As she was leaving, Jennifer Douglas saw Christine Quinn, her steps paused, but ultimately she did not stop and left the cafe.
"Christine?"
As he was leaving, Skyler Jones was quite surprised to meet Christine Quinn.
Christine Quinn noticed the gift still on the coffee table where Jennifer Douglas had placed it, she calmly said, "I just arrived, and I only heard Jennifer Douglas say she wanted to give you a gift... I just thought if you were going to clarify things with Jennifer Douglas, maybe I should be present."
"I’m glad you could come..." Skyler Jones hugged Christine Quinn, "I was so afraid you wouldn’t forgive me..."
Christine Quinn leaned against Skyler Jones’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and hugged him tightly.
His body warmth comforted her heart, she didn’t want to think much, only to hold him tightly at this moment.
After a long time, they let go of each other...
He kissed her forehead lightly, held her close, "Let’s go home first."
Christine Quinn nodded silently.
Skyler Jones was in a very good mood, completely disregarding the gazes of others, kissed her again on the cheek.
Just as Skyler Jones was holding Christine Quinn ready to leave the cafe, a waiter rushed over, "Sir, Sir..."
Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn stopped in their tracks.
The waiter handed the gift Jennifer Douglas left behind to Skyler Jones, "You forgot to take your item."
Skyler Jones simply said, "I don’t want it."
"Huh?" The waiter seemed incredulous, for just by the wrapping one could tell the item inside was of considerable value.
Christine Quinn glanced at the gift, and as Skyler Jones was holding Christine Quinn ready to leave, Christine Quinn suddenly said to the waiter, "Give the gift to me!"
The waiter promptly handed the gift over to Christine Quinn.
Skyler Jones frowned slightly, watching Christine Quinn open the gift.
As expected, just as Christine Quinn had anticipated, inside the gift box was a sapphire velvet box, which revealed a purple diamond bracelet upon opening.
Even though she had already guessed it was this item, seeing it, at that moment, Christine Quinn was still taken aback.
Skyler Jones obviously did not expect the gift Jennifer Douglas would give him was such a purple diamond bracelet, it wasn’t actually "giving," but rather "returning."
His expression showed some emotion as well.
Christine Quinn took the bracelet out of the velvet box, it shimmered as brightly as when she first saw it, upon closer inspection, the clasp of the bracelet was precisely engraved with two letters—JR.
Clearly, in Jennifer Douglas’s eyes, this gift was a token of love from Skyler Jones, which is why she’d engraved their initials on the bracelet.
Afraid Christine Quinn would think too much, Skyler Jones hurriedly explained, "Christine, to me this bracelet is not worth mentioning at all..."
Yes, a mere bracelet worth fifty million is nothing more than drop in the ocean to the president of the ’Oversky’ Group, and its significance doesn’t even compare to the millionth of the red diamond ring Skyler Jones gave Christine Quinn.
"I know, but..."
"Christine, you have to believe me, I never gave her any indications, it was always just a game of taking what we need between us..."
"I’m not doubting that, I mean this bracelet is quite valuable, it’s too wasteful to just discard it like that, why not sell it and donate the money to a charity..."
Skyler Jones immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure, whatever you say."
Christine Quinn smiled slightly.
Skyler Jones then held Christine Quinn as they walked out of the cafe.
Outside the cafe, far away in a car, Jennifer Douglas was watching through her sunglasses at Skyler Jones thoughtfully opening the car door for Christine Quinn in the rearview mirror.
Only when she saw Skyler Jones driving off did Jennifer Douglas look away, her eyes lowering in despondency.
Beep, beep—
The sound of a car horn came, Jennifer Douglas abruptly lifted her eyes to look at the car’s rearview mirror.
Jennifer Douglas then got out of the car.
Following behind Jennifer Douglas’s car, Jonathon Gibson also got out of his car.
Jennifer Douglas crossed her arms and leaned against the car until Jonathon Gibson walked up to her.
"Are you stalking Christine Quinn?" Jennifer Douglas directly asked.
Jonathon Gibson was quite surprised, "Christine? She’s here?" He said, looking around everywhere.
"Seems it’s a coincidence you came here."
Jonathon Gibson quickly asked, "You said Christine was just here?"
Jennifer Douglas nodded, "She just left with Skyler Jones."
"When did she come to New York?" Jonathon Gibson asked.
Jennifer Douglas answered truthfully, "Heard Geoffrey’s wife Rebecca Quentin just had a little princess a few days ago, they might have come to New York to visit Rebecca Quentin."
"Oh, then what are you doing here?"
"Nothing much."
"Your face doesn’t look so good."
"I’m fine." Jennifer Douglas lowered her head, hiding her low spirits.
Jonathon Gibson asked, "Are Christine and Skyler Jones fine?"
Jennifer Douglas nodded.
"I rarely see women like you... are you too scheming or truly deeply in love?" Jonathon Gibson shrewdly squinted, scrutinizing Jennifer Douglas.
Jennifer Douglas just gave a faint smile, opened the car door, sat in the cabin, and from the rolled-down window said to Jonathon Gibson, "Thank you for helping me."
Jonathon Gibson said, "I wasn’t helping you, I was helping Christine."
"So, you and I are both foolish, but it’s worth it for the ones we love."
