Chapter 555: Chapter 290: Chester Robinson Can Only Ever Be a Friend 1_2

"I told you, you don’t need to be polite with me. Do you need help?"

"No, Aunt Clare is in surgery now, everything is going well."

"What about the money?"

"Uh, the money... I’ve managed to gather it."

"As far as I know, a kidney transplant can be done so quickly only if you spend a lot of money to find a donor outside, plus the surgery itself costs two hundred thousand. That’s a huge sum."

"Yes."

"Did Howard Geoffrey help you?"

"Huh?" Rebecca Quentin was caught off guard and hurriedly said, "How could it possibly be him who helped me? I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time."

Chester Robinson chuckled on the other end of the phone, "Don’t be nervous, I was just asking casually."

Rebecca Quentin’s tense body relaxed a little, she explained, "When I broke up with Howard Geoffrey, he gave me a sum of money that I’ve never used."

"I just hope you think of me when you need anything."

Rebecca Quentin guiltily replied, "I’ve already troubled you a lot usually, I don’t want to bother you further."

"Silly girl..."

Chester Robinson’s voice was gentle, with a hint of doting.

It was the first time Rebecca Quentin heard Chester Robinson speak to her so fondly, and she felt a bit unaccustomed.

All along she had considered Chester as a good friend and was used to him joking with her, but at this moment, judging from the budding romantic feelings between them, Doctor Robinson seemed to have deviated from the path of friendship.

"Uh, Doctor Robinson, a nurse just came out, I need to ask about Aunt Clare’s surgery, let’s talk later... bye-bye."

Coming up with a quick excuse, Rebecca Quentin pretended to be in a hurry to press the hang-up button, and only after the call ended did she let out a big sigh of relief.

At the same time.

Closing the phone, Chester Robinson, leaning back in his office chair, frowned slightly.

Keith Antony walked in from outside, seeing Chester deep in thought, he didn’t dare disturb him and stood quietly to the side.

"Did you find out anything?" Chester suddenly spoke up.

Keith Antony moved to the desk and shook his head, "There’s no trace of Mr. Geoffrey’s whereabouts. We can’t be certain if he went to M City, but what is certain is that someone helped Miss Quentin pay for the hospital treatment. Our investigation into the hospital’s financial records shows a payment from a certain corporation."

"Which corporation?"

"’Oversky’, the payment was made by Skyler Jones on behalf of Miss Quentin."

Chester raised an eyebrow, "Skyler Jones?"

"Yes, I investigated thoroughly, and it was indeed transferred from ’Oversky’. To be sure, I also checked ’Oversky’s’ financial records, confirming that the transfer was made the day Miss Quentin arrived in M City."

Chester fell silent, pondering.

Keith Antony added, "Boss, I don’t think there’s anything suspicious about this. Skyler Jones has always had lingering feelings for Rebecca Quentin, so helping her out is quite normal. Moreover, it was Christine Quinn who notified Miss Quentin about Aunt Clare’s accident, maybe Christine Quinn asked Skyler Jones for help."

Chester shook his head, "It’s impossible for Howard Geoffrey to leave New York without a reason. Before, the investigations you provided showed he was always working in New York, yet now I can’t even track his whereabouts. This means he was aware I was secretly monitoring him all along."

Keith Antony was taken aback, "Why didn’t I think of that?"

Chester narrowed his sharp eyes, "It’s not that simple."

Just as Keith Antony was about to respond, his phone rang.

Keith Antony respectfully apologized to Chester and moved aside to answer the call.

Shortly after, Keith Antony, with a pale face, rushed back to Chester, urging, "Boss, there’s bad news. Madam is about to be summoned for a retrial."

Half an hour later.

Inside a black business car, Chester’s face was cold.

Keith Antony remained silent, unusually fearful of his boss’s authority, not daring to breathe loudly.

Suddenly, Keith Antony slammed on the brakes because a black Bentley abruptly stopped in front of their car.

Keith Antony was about to curse the other party, but his voice suddenly stopped.

Through the windshield, Keith Antony saw, apart from the driver Roye, a cold face that had become infamous and fearsome—Howard Geoffrey.

Keith Antony’s breath tightened, he glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror.

The boss’s gaze was fixed forward, and from the chilling gleam in his eyes, it was clear he had locked eyes with the formidable opponent.

Their eyes were engaged in combat, even though it was thrilling, the profound darkness in the other’s eyes didn’t reveal a single clue.

At this moment, because the two cars were stopped in the middle of the road, the vehicles behind them began honking frantically.

Keith Antony and Roye both started their engines, and the two cars moved forward, brushing past each other.

As the car proceeded steadily on the road, Keith Antony couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, Mr. Geoffrey is actually in T City, so..."

Chester coldly cut in, "Head to the prison first."

"Yes."

Women’s prison on the outskirts.

Chester sat calmly in the chair, his face indifferent.

The prison guard helped a weary, thin middle-aged woman sit in front of Chester.

It was Vivian Lindsey.

After the guard stepped aside, Vivian Lindsey anxiously said, "How could you come to see me like this? This could reveal the connection between you and me to Howard Geoffrey. You could have sent Keith Antony."

Chester looked at the elder woman’s once well-maintained and elegant face, which had become weary and aged as if she instantly grew ten years older within just over half a year, and he spoke with a heartache, "I once warned you not to act rashly, but you never listened, and now you have to pay the price."

Vivian Lindsey angrily exclaimed, "You don’t know how much hatred I harbor inside, I can’t wait any longer!!"

"Mom, even though you adopted me from the orphanage, from childhood to adulthood, I’ve seen the hardships you’ve endured, and I empathize with the injustices you’ve suffered. I’ve told you more than once that the wishes you want to fulfill, I will definitely help you achieve. What others owe you, I will ensure they pay it all back. This is my way of repaying the debt of gratitude for raising me!"

"Chester, I know I made a big mistake by not heeding your advice and dealing with Howard Geoffrey on my own, but I don’t regret it, because I know if I succeed, the Geoffrey family would be finished. That wretch Evelyn Geoffrey wouldn’t dream of living peacefully for the rest of life. I just never expected, being shrewd all my life, I still couldn’t outsmart Howard Geoffrey... But I have no fear in prison, because I know, I still have you!!" Vivian Lindsey looked at Chester with hope.
