Chapter 719: Chapter 373: Extra: Did He Really Never Have Feelings for Her? (2)

Miss Douglas stepped forward in twelve-inch heels, her captivating figure swaying elegantly as she approached Skyler Jones, her tone soft as water, "Mr. Jones, did I scare you and your date?"

"Miss Douglas, you were in such a rush chasing my car. I wonder what you are up to?"

Miss Douglas placed her delicate hand on Skyler Jones’s shoulder, her red lips drawing close to his ear, whispering softly, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Faced with the intoxicating fragrance of Miss Douglas’s body and the teasing breath that tickled his ear, Skyler Jones, like a man bewitched, embraced the lady’s slender waist, his dreamy dark eyes looking at her, "Go on."

"The gentleman who kept bidding against you earlier is actually my date for tonight. I specifically invited him because I wanted him to bid for the purple diamond bracelet for me..." As she spoke, Miss Douglas seductively and ambiguously tapped Skyler Jones’s firm chest in his suit with her soft, slender fingers, her lips pouted, and she uttered with a hint of grievance and regret, "It’s a pity that Mr. Jones outbid him for the bracelet. I’m so disappointed... I came to the party tonight just to win this bracelet."

Skyler Jones’s dark eyes squinted narrowly, his voice low and hoarse, "Do you really like it?"

Miss Douglas nodded lostly, "Yes."

Skyler Jones chuckled softly, then turned with Miss Douglas towards the passenger side.

Christine Quinn had been sitting in the car and had no idea what Skyler Jones and Miss Douglas were talking about. However, the intimate actions and the exchanged flirtatious glances between Miss Douglas and Skyler Jones made Christine Quinn very uncomfortable.

Knock, knock—

Skyler Jones reached out and tapped on the passenger window.

Christine Quinn took a quiet breath and then got out of the car.

Miss Douglas surveyed Christine Quinn from head to toe with those charming eyes, a hint of jealousy in her gaze at Christine Quinn’s beauty, yet she tenderly remarked, "Mr. Jones, your date is so gorgeous!"

"Let me introduce you; my date tonight is Christine Quinn, she’s my sister-in-law’s elder sister."

Miss Douglas asked Christine Quinn directly, "Rebecca Quentin’s sister?"

Christine Quinn nodded gently.

"So it truly runs in the family... I also met your sister at a charity gala recently. She was with Howard Geoffrey, and they looked perfectly matched."

"Thank you."

"Christine, Miss Douglas said she came to the party tonight just to win the purple diamond bracelet, but it accidentally got bid by me and given to you. Miss Douglas has been longing for this bracelet for a while... I wonder if you mind passing this bracelet to her?"

Give it away?

Christine Quinn suddenly looked up at Skyler Jones.

Did he mean to give the bracelet he had just given her to a stranger?

Christine Quinn stared at Skyler Jones, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Mr. Jones, since you’ve already given the bracelet to Miss Quinn, how could I possibly ask her to give it to me? Let’s forget it..."

Skyler Jones looked elegantly at Christine Quinn with a smile, "You wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Christine Quinn continued looking at Skyler Jones, not responding for a long time.

"Mr. Jones, it seems Miss Quinn is reluctant, I would not want to take it from her, let’s just..."

"Miss Douglas, if you really like this bracelet, it’s yours. Anyway, my sister has given me quite a few similar ones..." Saying this, Christine Quinn handed the velvet box containing the bracelet into Miss Douglas’s hand.

"Thank you very much, Miss Quinn. I’ll transfer the money to Mr. Jones’s account."

"Do we really need to count this money? As long as Miss Douglas is happy..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Mr. Jones, I’ll take my leave first... Let’s meet for a meal sometime."

"Sure."

Throwing a flying kiss to Skyler Jones, Miss Douglas then drove off in her striking sports car.

After the red sports car drove away, Skyler Jones commented blandly, "Get in the car." Then he took a seat in the driver’s position, leaving the passenger door open for Christine Quinn.

However, Christine Quinn remained frozen in place outside the car, her eyes dimly fixed on Skyler Jones.

Skyler Jones turned his head towards her, frowning slightly, "Aren’t you getting in?"

Christine Quinn swallowed the lump in her throat, "You did it on purpose, didn’t you?"

Skyler Jones narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

Christine Quinn looked away, took a deep breath, then turned back to Skyler Jones, "Does humiliating me make you that happy?"

Skyler Jones grinned, then stepped down from the car and looked disdainfully at Christine Quinn, "Yes, I did it deliberately, so what?"

Even though she was prepared, hearing this cruel truth still hit her hard.

Skyler Jones squinted at Christine Quinn, laughed coldly, "Admit it, Christine Quinn, you were so happy to receive my gift."

All her actions, her every smile, were under his control, and he was always watching her, waiting to revel in her disgrace... Knowing that Miss Douglas wanted the bracelet, he bid on it under a pretense to give it to her, all to humiliate her.

The heartache came with the pain in her chest, making breathing difficult, yet she tried hard to maintain steady breaths, her fingers tightly gripping the dress hem, looking unwaveringly at Skyler Jones, "If you dislike me so much, why did you agree to register with me?"

Skyler Jones’s gaze sharpened, "Wasn’t that because you forced me?"

Christine Quinn’s voice became choked, "Do you really think I deliberately let Marie know I was leaving to force you to marry me?"

"Why pretend to be innocent before me?" Skyler Jones glared at Christine Quinn contemptuously, his mouth curling sarcastically, "We both know you love playing tricks."

His words were like blades, piercing her tender heart unerringly.

She wanted to clutch her chest from the pain but refused to let him see her vulnerability, lest she be accused of seeking sympathy.

Christine Quinn slowly lowered her head, unable to utter a word due to the heartache.

"What’s wrong, is my pointed truth too much for you?" Skyler Jones looked at her coldly, his unfamiliar gaze freezing her heart.

"Skyler Jones, regardless of whether you believe it or not, after we parted years ago, I never thought I’d be with you again in this life, so I never acted in front of Marie... And please don’t humiliate me with your aggressive demeanor. I indeed owe you from the past, but I’ve paid back all I owed you... So, please treat me with some respect."

"Want respect? Alright, just tell Marie about her true mother in front of her, and then you and I will be at peace."

Skyler Jones looked coldly at her, word by word, piercingly focused.
