Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 772 - 400: Extra: The Deeper the Love, the Greater the Responsibility

She never understood why he suddenly let her go, but now she finally understands, it was because Marie begged him.

"Sis, sis..." Becca kept calling on the phone.

Christine Quinn finally snapped back to reality, "Hmm?"

"So, you and Mr. Jones..."

Christine Quinn turned her head and glanced inside the room, Skyler Jones was no longer there. Her eyes were vacant as she slowly uttered, "There won’t be any more ties, it’s finally over."

"I’m sorry that Howard Geoffrey and I obstructed matters regarding Marie’s condition..."

Christine Quinn shook her head, "I don’t blame you... I know, you always wanted the best for me."

"Sis, I’m a woman too, I know how you’re feeling right now, but I have to tell you, if I hadn’t known there was still love between you and Mr. Jones, I would never have let myself or Howard interfere in your relationship..."

"Still love?" As if hearing the biggest joke ever, Christine Quinn laughed foolishly, "I think that’s the funniest joke I’ve heard in thirty years."

"While helping you, every time I saw the mutual harm between you and Mr. Jones, I often wondered if helping you was the right thing to do. So, I had thought about telling you that Marie had passed the observation period, but Howard Geoffrey stopped me, do you know why?"

Christine Quinn still shook her head, her throat full of sobs.

"Sis, I think there are things you still don’t know..."

"Tell me."

"You know M took revenge on everyone, mom, Howard Geoffrey, me, Mr. Jones, Chester Robinson... everyone from the previous generation to this one. M went all out to destroy everyone’s happiness, so why hasn’t she made a move to avenge you? If I remember correctly, after you ’betrayed’ Mr. Jones, there was a time when you were alone. Given M’s usual ruthless approach, knowing you are Alexander Quentin’s daughter, she would never let you go, yet you’ve never been directly harmed by M. Do you know why?"

"I’ve been puzzled by this, but I thought M might have considered that even though I’m a Quentin, I don’t have any real father-daughter relationship with Alexander Quentin, so she let me go..."

"You’re wrong, with M’s deranged personality, she even sought revenge and wanted to kill Monica Landon, who only had a fleeting relationship with your dad. So why would she let you go? You’re Alexander Quentin’s biological daughter!"

"Becca, I don’t understand what you mean..."

"My point is simple, the reason you haven’t suffered M’s revenge is that someone has always been protecting you."

Christine Quinn was astonished, "Protecting me?"

"Yes... the one protecting you is Mr. Jones!"

What... how could it be? Christine Quinn stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Knowing Christine Quinn wouldn’t believe it, Rebecca Quentin continued to explain, "Howard Geoffrey told me that Mr. Jones once regarded you as his life..."

Christine Quinn gave a smile filled with pain, "That’s impossible, he never cared for me, from beginning to end."

"No, Mr. Jones cared for you, he regarded you as his life, and he still does today."

"Becca, did you know? Whether he cares about me now, it doesn’t matter to me anymore..."

"Even if it doesn’t matter to you anymore, I still need to make it clear to you... After M used you to restrain Mr. Jones, the next target was you, but Mr. Jones threatened M. If she dared to harm you, he would take her down with him, even at the cost of going to prison. M reluctantly agreed to Mr. Jones’s terms, so all these years, Mr. Jones willingly worked for M, and one reason M promised not to harm you."

"How did Howard Geoffrey know?"

"Because Howard Geoffrey met M, and this is what M personally told Howard Geoffrey... Imagine, you ’betrayed’ Mr. Jones, yet after you ’betrayed’ him, Mr. Jones still didn’t want you to be harmed. Isn’t that love deep enough?"

"He personally said he never cared about me, he told me he was with me only to use me against Howard Geoffrey..."

"Sis, do you really believe Mr. Jones’s answer?"

Christine Quinn was speechless and choked. She didn’t believe it, but reality forced her to.

"You have to know, Mr. Jones and Howard Geoffrey may seem like enemies, but there has always been a deep brotherly bond between them. Even if Mr. Jones hired you to later join Howard Geoffrey’s company to help him catch Howard Geoffrey’s weaknesses, Mr. Jones would never truly harm Howard Geoffrey... Sending you to Howard Geoffrey was M’s arrangement. He didn’t defy M and let you go because he had to protect himself at the time, and also because he knew you’d be very safe by Howard Geoffrey’s side."
