Just like being able to feel his company, although seemingly lonely, she wasn’t afraid at all. The little baby in her belly filled her with hope for the future.
"Oversky" Corporation.
Skyler Jones headed towards his office, with his assistant closely following behind.
"Mr. Jones, old Mrs. Geoffrey has been waiting for you in the office for a while now."
Upon walking into his office, Skyler Jones immediately noticed Mrs. Geoffrey sitting on the office sofa with a faintly sorrowful expression.
Hearing someone walk in, Mrs. Geoffrey turned around hurriedly, her face lighting up with joy, "Skyler!"
Skyler Jones didn’t respond to Mrs. Geoffrey, rather, he sat directly behind his desk, with a cold expression, not taking the initiative to speak.
Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes seemed reluctant to leave him for even a moment, walking affectionately in front of him, she said kindly, "I came to the Flowery Kingdom, so I came to see you."
Skyler Jones tilted his head to light a cigarette, exhaling smoke, he replied disdainfully, "Did you?"
Mrs. Geoffrey’s voice was full of longing, "Skyler, let’s have a meal together!"
Skyler Jones refused outright, "I don’t have time."
"It won’t take up much of your time, just tonight, okay?"
Raising his eyes with a sidelong glance at Mrs. Geoffrey, Skyler Jones said coolly, "I don’t think you need to pretend to want to have a meal with me, your purpose for coming to the Flowery Kingdom wasn’t for me!!"
Mrs. Geoffrey shook her head.
Skyler Jones sneered, "Don’t you understand? Isn’t it because you came to see Rebecca Quentin?"
Mrs. Geoffrey was slightly stunned. "Skyler..."
Skyler Jones flicked the ash from his cigarette into the ashtray, laughing, "So Roger Leonard told you the news, I thought it would be Howard Geoffrey who came today!"
He was never a careless person.
When in T City, he had already cautiously noticed her physical reactions.
He didn’t expose it because he knew she didn’t want anyone to know.
Not being at ease, he had been secretly sending people to protect her in T City these days, and thus also learned that Roger Leonard went to find her.
Mrs. Geoffrey explained, "Son, I don’t deny that coming back to the Flowery Kingdom is related to Rebecca Quentin, but my desire to see you is also true, so I flew directly from New York to Y City..."
Skyler Jones mocked, "Why do you have to pretend to be dumb ? Isn’t it because you know Rebecca Quentin is now in Y City?"
Mrs. Geoffrey was astonished, "Rebecca Quentin is in Y City? No, I didn’t know... son, today I really just came to see you."
Skyler Jones extinguished the cigarette in his hand, speaking coldly, "I don’t care whether you knew Rebecca Quentin is here or not, there’s no way you’ll see her!"
"Skyler, I don’t intend to harm her, I just want..."
Skyler Jones frowned, looking displeased at Mrs. Geoffrey, "What do you want? To persuade her to have the baby and give it to you, taking a large sum of money from you, and then leave the Flowery Kingdom, never to be involved with Howard Geoffrey again?"
Being hit right where it hurt, Mrs. Geoffrey swallowed her words and fell into silence.
Skyler Jones stood up, his eyes cold as swords directed at his mother, "old Mrs. Geoffrey, only a selfish mother like you would pull a child away from their mother... let me be clear with you here, from now on, Rebecca Quentin will live under my wings, I will not allow anyone to harm her again, and if you don’t want me to despise you even more, don’t appear in front of Rebecca Quentin again, as for the child, whatever Rebecca decides, that’s what will happen, you have no right to interfere!!"
Mrs. Geoffrey asked in disbelief, "Skyler, you’re speaking to me for her?"
Mrs. Geoffrey stumbled back a step, shaking her head forcefully, "Don’t you know who her parents are?"
Skyler Jones let out a cold snort, "You must have misunderstood, what I hate most is not the grievances of the previous generation, but my cruel mother who abandoned me!!"
"Skyler..." Mrs. Geoffrey’s voice was hoarse, her eyes already brimming with tears.
Completely unconcerned with Mrs. Geoffrey’s feelings, Skyler Jones stood up, directly walking out of the office, and as he stepped over the threshold, he turned his back to Mrs. Geoffrey, saying coldly, "You’re not welcome here, you better not come again... if you still want to see Rebecca Quentin, I advise you to reconsider, for I will not spare anyone who makes her unhappy!"
With those words, Skyler Jones left mercilessly.
At that moment, Mrs. Geoffrey collapsed to the ground, her eyes full of sorrowful tears.
Rebecca Quentin walked down the corridor leading to the meeting at "Oversky."
