Chapter 270: Chapter 147: The Moment to Be Forever Strangers to Him 1
Howard Geoffrey dragged the resisting Rebecca Quentin directly into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Rebecca Quentin struggled desperately against Howard Geoffrey, "Let go of me, let go!!"
Howard Geoffrey remained unmoved, watching the descending numbers of the elevator, not loosening his grip on Rebecca Quentin at all.
The more Rebecca Quentin struggled, the more her wrist hurt. She wanted to use her freed hand to punch Howard Geoffrey, but before she could hit him, the elevator doors opened, and he had already dragged her out.
Howard Geoffrey was very tall, so his stride was naturally much bigger than Rebecca Quentin’s, forcing her to trot to keep up with him.
Along the way, regardless of others’ gazes or her level of resistance, Howard Geoffrey kept pulling Rebecca Quentin out of the apartment building.
The car was already parked by the roadside, and Howard Geoffrey pulled Rebecca Quentin, who was trying hard to pry his hand away, over to it.
One of the bodyguards had already opened the car door for Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey then stuffed Rebecca Quentin into the car.
Rebecca Quentin tried to get out, but the bodyguard had already blocked the door.
Howard Geoffrey sat in the driver’s seat and immediately started the engine.
The car sped off in an instant...
Rebecca Quentin glared angrily at Howard Geoffrey’s stern face, "Let me out of the car, let me out!!"
Howard Geoffrey looked ahead; compared to his previous anger, he was now calm, his handsome face unmoved, lips lightly parted, "I’ll let you out when we arrive!"
Rebecca Quentin began to hit and kick Howard Geoffrey, but finding it futile, she reached over to grab the steering wheel. Howard Geoffrey never stopped her, only spoke slowly as she touched the wheel, "If you don’t want us to die and leave Andrew uncared for, keep fighting me like this."
Hearing this, Rebecca Quentin froze and slowly let go of the steering wheel.
The car sped towards the marriage registration office of the New York government...
Outside the window, night had fallen, and New York, this sleepless city, entered a level of prosperity and bustle beyond the daytime...
Rebecca Quentin gave a quick glance outside the window and said coldly, "Don’t forget, it’s nighttime."
"So what?"
"How to register at night?" Rebecca Quentin intended to stop Howard Geoffrey’s stubbornness, but as soon as she spoke, it took on a different meaning.
Sure enough...
Howard Geoffrey glanced at Rebecca Quentin through the rearview mirror and casually remarked, "Worried we can’t register at night? Rest assured, New York’s latest policy allows marriage registration 24 hours a day."
How could this be?
Just as Rebecca Quentin felt at a loss, a phone rang inside the car.
It was Howard Geoffrey’s phone ringing.
Howard Geoffrey picked up the phone, glanced at the number displayed, and then pressed Bluetooth.
Because the car was very quiet, Rebecca Quentin could vaguely hear the voice on the phone.
"Howard Geoffrey..."
"Speak."
The pleasant female voice belonged to Alice Robinson.
"Aunt is at XX Hospital now, come quickly..."
Hearing the word "hospital," Rebecca Quentin immediately turned her face away from the window to look at Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey’s face turned livid at this moment, and he immediately turned the car around.
Howard Geoffrey arrived at the hospital.
From a distance, Alice Robinson was leaning against the wall outside a ward, arms crossed.
Jason Wood, looking worried, quickly approached Howard Geoffrey as soon as he saw him, "Boss."
Howard Geoffrey frowned, and sternly asked, "What happened? Didn’t you say to send the old lady back, why is she still in New York?"
Jason Wood hung his head as if he had made a mistake.
Alice Robinson walked over to Howard Geoffrey and continued the conversation, "Don’t blame Jason, it’s all my fault..."
Howard Geoffrey’s cold eyes swept over.
Alice Robinson confessed, "I originally promised to send Aunt home, but I was feeling a bit off, and when I saw Jason was there to send Aunt off, I decided to head straight back to France... Maybe Aunt noticed my mood, so she said she wanted to go to France with me for a couple of days. I couldn’t refuse. Afraid you’d disapprove, Aunt didn’t allow Jason or me to tell you... Just now at the airport, while waiting for the flight, the airport news showed pictures of you and Miss Quentin together. Aunt may have been angry and suddenly fainted at the airport..."
After hearing Alice Robinson’s explanation, Howard Geoffrey frowned, his tone displeased, "Jason Wood!!"
"Boss, I wanted to send the old lady back, but she insisted. She even said that if I reported to you, she’d force you to fire me..."
While Jason Wood was explaining apologetically to Howard Geoffrey, Alice Robinson suddenly greeted politely, "Miss Quentin."
