Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 556 - 291: Chester Robinson and I Can Only Be Friends Forever (2)

Chester stood up coolly at that moment.

Vivian, seeing Chester about to leave, quickly asked, "How is your progress?"

"What you should be worried about is yourself!" Chester replied coldly, his back to Vivian.

"Is it just another hearing? At most, the police might have some new evidence to add three to five years to my sentence. What am I afraid of? Once you deal with Howard, I’ll be out of prison!" Vivian fearlessly retorted.

"Do you really think Howard came to T City just to add another three to five years to your sentence?"

"Howard came to T City?" Vivian frowned in confusion. "I saw the newspaper. It said Howard had already moved the first branch of ’Skytop’ to France. Why would he come to T City? Does he still have unresolved feelings for Rebecca Quentin?"

"It has nothing to do with Rebecca Quentin!"

"Then why is he here?"

"Have you thought about what will happen if your sentence, after the hearing, isn’t just three to five more years but ten? What will happen to you then?"

"A ten-year sentence plus another ten is just a change in numbers for me. Once you defeat Howard, you’ll certainly find a way to get me out."

"I’m afraid that even if I do defeat Howard, I won’t have the power to help you then."

Vivian was shocked, her eyes widening as she asked, "What... what do you mean by that?"

"After receiving a twenty-year sentence, you’ll be transferred to a high-security prison. Even if I intend to help you ’reopen the case’ later, just the process would take at least three to five years, meaning you’ll be stuck in prison for at least another three to five years!"

Vivian’s face turned pale, and she shook her head vigorously, "No, I don’t want to stay in this prison for another three to five years; I don’t want to... Chester, you have to think of a way to help me, you must help me find a way..."

One week later.

At night, Keith Antony hurriedly entered a luxurious villa.

Inside the villa, Chester sat on a sofa in the living room, examining a stack of letters in his hand.

Keith called out "Boss," interrupting Chester’s thoughts.

Chester snapped back to the present and asked, "How is it?"

Keith reported, "The court has set Miss Vivian’s hearing date for the beginning of next month."

"Okay."

"I investigated secretly, and the new evidence received by the court is solid. Expert lawyers analyzed it, suggesting that Miss Vivian’s sentence might be increased by ten years."

"I know."

"I think we should no longer bother investigating why Mr. Geoffrey isn’t in New York. It’s obvious he’s in T City for a direct confrontation with you."

Chester narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Clearly, he, like me, has lost patience with these games... Since we both want to play openly, let’s play openly!"

"And about Miss Vivian?"

"She’ll be fine; you can relay that message to her now." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Keith, puzzled, asked, "Boss, if Miss Vivian is going to be okay, why didn’t you tell her during your last visit? I believe she’s been on edge all this while."

Chester replied coldly, "I wanted her to know that crises are everywhere, and everything must be done with caution. This matter will help to curb her arrogance when she is finally out."

"Understood, Miss Vivian does sometimes act rather improperly."

"Hmm..." Chester glanced at his subordinate, "Did you pick up Rebecca Quentin? Has she arrived?"

Keith checked his watch, "Just about."

At that moment, a servant came in from outside to report, "Mr. Robinson, she has arrived."

Having concluded the serious conversation, Keith teasingly added, "Boss, haven’t seen her much lately, been missing her, right? A romantic night, just the two of you, a perfect opportunity. You better make the most of it!"

"Get going!" Chester said, a hint of a smile appearing on his lips.

In a flash, Keith vanished without a trace.

"Miss Quentin, this way, please."

In the night, the servant led Rebecca Quentin through the garden into the villa.

As soon as she entered the villa, Rebecca was stunned by the sight of the vast villa hall.

Rebecca was not a stranger to luxury, having once lived a privileged life. However, the villa she saw now was comparable to the one she lived in with Howard Geoffrey for two years and was of a similar style, simple yet imposing.

"Becca."

Chester’s voice cut through, interrupting Rebecca’s thoughts.

Turning her head, she saw Chester approaching her.
