Chapter 246: Chapter 134: She Wants to Shake Him Off? No Way!! (2)
Everyone knows that Robinson’s niece is Alice, and Robinson is the person in charge of the Hope City project.
Faced with Lisa Cecily’s worried expression, Howard Geoffrey seemed indifferent, lounging back in his chair, eyes calmly fixed on his phone, as if he didn’t take the matter to heart at all.
Whether it’s "Skytop" or "Oversky", winning the Hope City project requires currying favor with Robinson first.
Although the relationship between Robinson and Howard Geoffrey isn’t shallow, it can’t compare to the uncle-niece relationship between Robinson and Alice. If his niece were to suffer any grievances, Robinson couldn’t possibly sit by and watch.
This simple logic didn’t need further explanation to Howard from Lisa Cecily. Knowing Howard’s always been calculating and meticulous in his dealings, Lisa didn’t bother with the matter any longer and quietly left.
After Lisa left, Howard pondered for a moment.
The Hope City project has already been decided to go to "Oversky", and next Skyler Jones is bound to be very busy.
There are four days until next Wednesday. If within these four days Skyler doesn’t take Christine Quinn away, there might be even less time to deal with the matters between him and Christine.
No, Christine Quinn must leave. There can’t be anyone getting in the way between him and Rebecca Quentin.
Thinking of this, Howard suddenly curled his lips into a faint, insidious smirk.
Someone didn’t answer his call last night and directly hung up. It seems she’s determined to cut ties with him, but no chance!!
She can never escape the palm of his hand in this life...
Suddenly, he dialed the number and called her again.
The call was connected, but she still didn’t answer.
He didn’t get angry, instead, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.
If she doesn’t want to talk to him so badly, let’s see how she’ll keep avoiding him.
Taking out his phone, Howard got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, dialing another number.
This time, the call was quickly answered, and a lukewarm voice from Christine Quinn came through, "You called me, I presume for Becca, right?"
Howard stuck one hand in his pocket and moved to the window, gazing out at the wide view beyond the glass curtain wall, and casually said, "You’re right, you also know, you’re getting in my way."
"Howard, I don’t care if you truly want to be with Becca right now, but before Becca makes her stance clear, I will always remind her objectively, not letting her be deceived again."
Howard smiled smugly, "Is that so?"
"If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!"
"You don’t want to treat Marilyn Quinn’s illness anymore?"
A simple, offhand remark from Howard made Christine suddenly press the phone tightly to her ear, nervously asking, "What did you say?"
Howard gazed ahead, lazily speaking, "Marie’s condition has cost you a lot of effort, hasn’t it?"
"What exactly do you mean?"
"As the father of the child, if I don’t want my child to risk surgery to save others in the future, do you think your Marie isn’t quite pitiful?"
Too nervous, Christine Quinn retorted angrily, "The child is Becca’s, she’s the one with the right to decide."
"Are you sure the child will have the last name ’Quentin’ and not ’Geoffrey’?"
Howard implied that he could decide everything about the child.
"Howard!!" Afraid he’d hang up, Christine desperately suppressed her panic, "You wouldn’t do that, you wouldn’t... You’ve always been good to me because Marie is your brother’s daughter. You wouldn’t watch idly as something happens to Marie."
Howard, maintaining the same light tone, said, "As the uncle to the child, of course, I can’t just watch as something happens to Marie, but with you unwilling to help me, I’m also not inclined to help you."
Christine’s greatest hope now is for Marie to undergo surgery as soon as possible, because as Marie grows, her condition will worsen, and no one can know if her heart might suddenly act up at any moment...
She once survived on artificial blood, but Marie being so young, can’t possibly tolerate artificial blood, so surgery is the only way, and Andrew was confirmed at birth to have inherited the recessive MNSsU blood type from Marie’s gene, so he can be of help when a bit older.
She knew Howard might just be trying to scare her, because from what she understood of Howard, he was extremely fond of Marie, and moreover, Marie is Skyler Jones’ daughter, but Howard’s character was unpredictable, what if...
She couldn’t bear such a possibility.
After hesitating for several seconds, Christine, in the end, had to concede, "Alright, I won’t obstruct you and Becca, but you must also fulfill your promise to treat Marie."
