Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 619 - 323: His Heart Hurts Even More Than Hers 2

Rebecca Quentin did not respond.

Howard Geoffrey extended his arms from behind to embrace Rebecca Quentin.

To no avail, Rebecca Quentin used her elbow to nudge him away, breaking free without hesitation.

Howard Geoffrey wanted to step forward, but Rebecca Quentin had already coldly said, "Don’t come closer, let’s talk this way."

Aware that Rebecca Quentin was currently angry, Howard Geoffrey dared not be too aggressive and let her be.

Rebecca Quentin’s slightly reddened eyes stared at Howard Geoffrey with a slightly hoarse voice, "I just want to ask you, how did you find out about Chester Robinson and Vivian Lindsey’s relationship?"

Howard Geoffrey replied, "My brother once faced threats from Vivian Lindsey, and after my investigation, given Vivian Lindsey’s ability alone, she could not possibly balance out my brother. Coupled with previous suspicions about Vivian Lindsey disappearing for over twenty years but having substantial funds, I guessed she had accomplices and her adopted son Chester Robinson was always the one I suspected... He initially didn’t show a single flaw until the day we registered to marry in T City. You should remember that the reason we didn’t succeed was because your sister untimely called you..."

Rebecca Quentin nodded. She remembered that day when her sister sent her a video, which was news about Vivian Lindsey being imprisoned. It was the first time she realized her mother was still alive; the shock from this made her disinterested in registering their marriage, directly leading to their separation afterward.

"I once wanted to conceal the matter about M from you, so I blocked all media that wanted to report the incident at the time. But then, the news inexplicably ended up on television, forcing me to suspect that there was someone deliberately manipulating it behind the scenes..."

"Are you saying that back then you suspected this person to be Chester Robinson?"

"Yes, whether it was your sister calling when we were registering or my brother exposing the matter about me ’forcing’ the death of your father when we were about to vacation on Foam Island, all were secretly facilitated by him."

Rebecca Quentin remained stunned on the spot.

No wonder he once told her that some people and some things would never be as simple as they appeared; indeed, this world was filthy and vile.

"Becca..."

Howard Geoffrey took a step closer.

Rebecca Quentin still took a step back, looking distantly at him, "So, when we separated due to my misunderstanding about my father’s death, you already knew Chester was a dangerous figure."

"Yes."

Rebecca Quentin angrily questioned, "Then why did you still let him get close to me?"

At this moment, Howard Geoffrey fell silent.

"Why aren’t you answering?"

"I have my concerns."

"Your concerns?" Rebecca Quentin glared at him and voiced loudly, "You probably worried that once you intervened to prevent Chester from approaching me, he would realize you already knew his true identity, which would be very troublesome for your subsequent plans."

"It’s not like what you think."

"Then what is it, tell me?"

"I’m not at liberty to say."

"Howard Geoffrey!!"

Rebecca Quentin gritted her teeth, calling his name, her frail body continuously retreated until her body pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window behind her. Her incredulous eyes gazed at his calm demeanor, uttering in loss and disappointment, "You cannot answer because I hit the nail on your intentions..."

"Becca!"

"Don’t call my name, Howard Geoffrey..." A layer of mist instantly covered Rebecca Quentin’s clear eyes; she stared at him, voice hoarse due to great agitation, "I’ve known you for so many years, perhaps there are still many things I don’t understand about you. Even until today, I still cannot fathom your thoughts, but there’s one thing I’m certain of: you are a person who will never allow yourself to lose... You didn’t stop Chester Robinson from getting close to me because you didn’t want to alert him, but you didn’t consider that your competitiveness allowed Chester to harm our child..."

"Becca..." Howard Geoffrey stepped forward and tightly embraced her, his chin resting on her face, low and hoarse echoed, "I admit it was due to my negligence that we lost our child, but it wasn’t because of momentary competitiveness. Please believe, regarding the child’s matter, I am always filled with guilt..."

Rebecca Quentin withdrew from Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, "If this matter wasn’t due to your competitiveness, then after, when you pushed me to Chester for surgery, what was that for?"
