Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but frown, "You’re overthinking it. He and I aren’t in touch often, especially since my sister is with him now."
Howard Geoffrey’s dark eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, "You two aren’t in touch often, so who were you calling tonight?"
Who was she calling tonight?
Rebecca Quentin was momentarily confused by his words, then suddenly remembered that when he had returned, she had just ended a call with Skyler Jones.
So he saw it. How petty, he actually remembered from then until now, and even knew she was on the phone with Skyler Jones...
Rebecca Quentin whispered softly, "I was just congratulating him on securing the project."
In that moment, Howard Geoffrey rolled over, pinning Rebecca Quentin beneath him, his dark eyes staring at her charming face, jealousy spilling over as he demanded, "You’re not allowed to contact him anymore!"
His domineering breath brushed against her lips, and she mumbled, "You’re so petty!"
Lowering his head, Howard Geoffrey captured her red lips, not allowing her any objections.
The next day, Rebecca Quentin accompanied Andrew, playing on the wool carpet in the living room, but her mind was elsewhere.
Howard Geoffrey had already told her he was flying to Y City the next morning.
The problem arose now...
She couldn’t attend the banquet with him, but if she refused, he would surely become suspicious. What should she do now?
Most importantly, she also felt that dragging things out with him was not a solution. The longer she stayed with him, the more dangerous it became. She couldn’t let herself continue taking such risks.
Besides, since he and Mrs. Geoffrey were both going to Y City this time, it was a good opportunity for her because as long as they were not in New York, it would be much easier for her to investigate what she wanted to find out...
But how could she stay in New York without arousing his suspicion?
Under what circumstances would he agree to let her stay in New York alone, while he could go to Y City without any distractions?
Unless she could make him so happy that he would know even if she didn’t go to Y City with him, her heart was still entirely devoted to him...
So, what method could make him so happy?
At this thought, Rebecca Quentin’s face suddenly turned red.
Because she already knew what method to use.
Rebecca Quentin was reluctant to use this method, but...
As the morning approached, she couldn’t think of a better plan, and there wasn’t a better one to keep him from suspecting.
After thinking it over, Rebecca Quentin decided to go for it.
If she didn’t seize this opportunity while he and Mrs. Geoffrey were both out of New York to investigate and find out what she wanted, they would inevitably drag things out, and if they continued to do so, some things were bound to happen, especially since he was a standout among those who think with their lower body.
Since dragging it out would eventually lead to that, she chose the option that could still give her a great opportunity...
To be honest, she even had a child with him, and after having the child, he forced her several times. Her body was already beyond loss...
If she needed to "sacrifice" once to find out what she wanted earlier, she should choose this method without hesitation.
Everything seemed normal, but Rebecca Quentin was secretly planning her scheme.
After dinner and putting Andrew to sleep, she saw Howard Geoffrey by the window on the phone, so Rebecca Quentin carried her nightgown and walked into the bathroom. Updates are released by novelFɪre.net
She stayed in the bathroom for about twenty minutes, and after bathing, she pulled the neckline of her nightgown down, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the bathroom.
When Rebecca Quentin came out, Howard Geoffrey was still on the phone in English.
Rebecca Quentin pretended nothing was amiss and sat down on the sofa, picking up a fashion magazine she used to kill time.
"Huffman, it looks like we’ll need to meet again to discuss our collaboration in detail. After I return from the Flowery Kingdom, I’ll be available anytime..." Howard Geoffrey was discussing business cooperation with a partner when a waft of post-bath fragrance floated over.
Howard Geoffrey glanced at Rebecca Quentin sitting on the sofa, then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Sorry, Huffman, something has come up... Let’s discuss the specific details of our cooperation when we meet next time."
Sitting on the sofa, not really reading the fashion magazine in her hands, Rebecca Quentin was intently listening to him on the phone. Upon hearing him abruptly end the call, she knew he had already noticed her.
Rebecca Quentin continued to feign focus on the magazine, but she clearly heard Howard Geoffrey’s footsteps approaching her.
