Chapter 1231: 643: Extra Story: The Little White Rabbit Invites the Wolf In 2-2

"Hello?"Hearing a voice that wasn’t Chester’s, Christine Quinn was momentarily stunned and asked, "Uh, are you Keith Antony?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, Assistant Antony, hello, I am Christine Quinn."

Keith Antony immediately replied respectfully, "Miss Quinn, sorry, I didn’t recognize your voice."

"It’s okay... By the way, isn’t this phone Chester’s?"

"It is the boss’s, but the boss can’t answer the phone right now."

Christine Quinn was taken aback, "What happened?"

On the other end, Keith Antony sighed, "Ever since the boss returned from vacationing at Foam Island with Miss Alice, he has been in low spirits. He hasn’t even been to the company these days, staying in his room all day, drinking alone, not answering anyone’s calls..."

Christine Quinn was shocked, her eyes wide as she looked at Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey asked, "What happened?"

Christine Quinn slowly put down the phone and said to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Mom, Assistant Antony said Chester has been down since returning from Foam Island with Alice, staying at home drinking alone every day, not even taking care of business..."

"What?" Mrs. Geoffrey frowned worriedly, "This child... why is he feeling so hopeless?"

"Mom, could it be that Alice is really giving Chester no chance at all?"

"It’s hard to say, sometimes for a woman, there’s nothing more painful than a dead heart..."

"Then what should we do? Chester is Oversky and Howard Geoffrey’s brother, we can’t just watch Chester waste away like this, can we?"

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, "This reminds me of Oversky and you... Back then, Oversky thought you were gone, he locked himself in his room and drank alone for a whole month, almost lost his life due to alcohol poisoning... Chester must be realizing how much he cares about Alice now, but drowning sorrows in alcohol will only harm the body eventually."

"Mom, as a woman, I understand Alice, I don’t think Alice really has no feelings for Chester..."

"Why don’t we go to France to see Alice?"

"Huh?"

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Today happens to be the last session of acupuncture therapy, my back is fine now, why not go to France to see Alice, talk to her about Chester, see if there’s a chance for them to reconcile."

"Hmm, hmm."

At the same time, New York, USA.

Keith Antony ended the call and walked towards his boss with a smile.

The boss was sitting on the sofa, his legs crossed elegantly, with a glass of expensive red wine beside him.

"Boss..."

"Hmm?" Chester glanced indifferently at the screen showing ambiguous news about him and Alice, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Keith Antony chuckled, "Just now, Miss Quinn called you, I told her about your situation as per your instructions."

The smile on Chester’s lips deepened, he lifted the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and said unhurriedly, "She’s with Mrs. Geoffrey?"

"Yes."

Chester’s smile grew even deeper.

Keith Antony said mischievously, "Boss, now that the news has blown up like this, old Mrs. Geoffrey will definitely speak to Alice on your behalf as you guessed, with the timing, location, and people all in place, isn’t it time for you to show up around Miss Alice?"

Chester put down the wine glass, replied with a half-smile, "Not the right time yet."

Keith Antony curiously asked, "Then when will be the right time?"

Chester smirked meaningfully.

Paris, France.

"This is terrible, those reporters have been blocking the villa gate for two days now, won’t they let us come and go?" Aunt PA stood in the garden, looking at the dense crowd at the gate, angrily said.

The driver said, "I’m afraid these people won’t give up until they reach their goal, they won’t stop until they interview the Miss!"

Aunt PA said furiously, "If these people don’t leave, I’ll chase them away with a broom!!"

The driver nodded, "These reporters are just too much!"

Aunt PA angrily returned to the villa and saw Alice.

She was wearing casual home clothes, sitting quietly on the sofa.

Aunt PA quickly calmed her anger and respectfully called, "Miss."

Alice looked up and asked, "Are those reporters still at the gate?"

Aunt PA nodded, "It’s been two days, these reporters haven’t moved an inch, their numbers are only increasing."

Alice’s face darkened and she remained silent.

Aunt PA said, "Miss, it’s not a solution to have these reporters blocking the gate, is it? You can’t just not go back to ’Tench’, and Rachel hasn’t been going to school either?"

Alice leaned back on the sofa, rubbed her temple in frustration, "I’ve already sent someone to investigate the online whistleblower, that person didn’t seem suspicious. He had posted the photos of Chester and Rachel playing at the amusement park online days before, but there wasn’t any media hype at that time so it didn’t cause much stir. Who would have thought, a reporter from Star Fortune Weekly discovered this news online and prepared it as a front-page headline to grab attention, but it was accidentally discovered by peers, causing an uproar... that’s why those reporters are swarming the kindergarten, blocking Rachel and me."

Aunt PA sat down beside Alice, worriedly said, "Miss, all the reporters are waiting outside for you to speak, you can’t avoid this forever. Have you thought about how to explain this to them?"

Alice calmly said, "I won’t admit that Rachel is related to Chester."

"But the photos are online, how will you explain Chester accompanying Rachel at the amusement park?"

"I can say that Chester and I are just friends."

"I’m afraid this reason won’t convince those reporters... Miss, you’ve always had no interaction with the ’QCS’ president, and publicly said you weren’t familiar with Mr. Robinson, now that the news of your relationship with Mr. Robinson is out, you claiming that you are friends with Mr. Robinson seems a bit too much, doesn’t it?"

Alice worriedly held her forehead, "Then what can I do?"

"Miss, I think this news coming out has not affected Mr. Robinson lightly either, why not call Mr. Robinson to discuss it and see what he says?"

Alice sat up, "The child has nothing to do with him, I won’t contact him."

Aunt PA frowned, "Miss, why are you being stubborn again? Didn’t you still have feelings for Mr. Robinson? This incident being exposed is actually a good thing, it allows you and Mr. Robinson to be together naturally..."

Alice stood up and calmly said, "Aunt PA, I did tell you about my feelings for Chester, but regardless of how I feel about him, I didn’t intend to get back with him... My ’apology’ to Claud was not because I wanted to start over with Chester, but because I didn’t want to marry Claud with impure feelings."
