Chapter 251
After Cristina climbed the stairs, she felt like jelly. She had to lean against the wall to stop herself from
collapsing.
She couldn’t take the pain any longer and immediately rang Glenn, filling him in on her current
situation.
On the other end of the phone, Glenn was fuming.
“What the hell have you done?! You not only let Carter hang around you, but you actually believe him!”
Cristina was slightly regretful at this point, “Glenn, what could I do? Neil has caught onto us. If he
wakes up, we’ll all get kicked out.”
Glenn was also getting desperate, but he had to admit that Carter didn’t do anything wrong. At this
point, they certainly couldn’t let Neil wake up
But he was still mad, mad that Cristina kept taking people to the family villa to do inappropriate things.
Last time, they almost got caught by Maja who had returned to the villa. He thought she would stop, but
she continued
“I can’t believe he got you all twisted up!”
Glenn’s face was grim, Carter was clearly up to something. Even if they did kill Neil, the Pennyfeather
family’s shares would never go to Carter. “Glenn, what should we do now? Maja has been watching
Neil closely, I can’t find an opportunity. If Neil wakes up…”
Having someone to confide in, Cristina calmed down a lot.
“How would I know what to do? The Pennyfeathers is in chaos. All projects have been put on hold, and
the top brass are in disarray. You certainly know how to stir up trouble. It’s embarrassing!”
Being scolded by her son like this, Cristina felt humiliated, but she couldn’t argue back. If she could do
it all over again, she definitely wouldn’t have been fooled by Carter to dismiss the servants and have
sex with him in the villa, leading to the current situation.
Glenn took a deep breath, “Even if my dad wakes up from the ICU, it will still be a while before he can
speak. Don’t panic and give yourself away to Maja.”
The thought of Maja made his throat tighten. If Neil died and lan ignored Maja, then he could do
whatever he wanted without anyone to stop him. Thinking along those lines, it seemed like Neil had to
die.
Glenn felt a little better and advised Cristina.
“Don’t let Carter fool you again. You have money, you can have any man you want.”
Cristina, although sharp-tongued, was weak when it came to love. During her first relationship, the guy
was a jerk, but because of Glenn, she endured him for a long time, always hoping he would change.
That man would say a few sweet words, and she would immediately forget about his domestic
violence, happily thinking that good days were coming
Later, that man left with another woman, and she met Neil Initially, she treated him sincerely, but Neil
often disappointed her in bed, and she started having other ideas. Before marrying Neil, she had a
crush on Carter, who was younger and seemed well-groomed. She mustered up the courage to pursue
him, and to her surprise, they both felt the same and started a relationship.
Her lonely heart was completely filled by Carter. And his sweet talk was irresistible; he completely
fooled her
She became less and less serious about Neil, only wanting the Pennyfeather family’s wealth.
“Glenn, I got it. Carter is actually nice.”
But the call was swiftly hung up on the other end, and Cristina stopped talking and went into Tricia’s
ward. Tricia’s health was not good, and the picture that Maja had sent made her so angry that she
smashed all the cups around her Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Bitch! Damn you, Carlene!”
When Cristina came in, she saw shards of glass all over the floor.
“Tricia, what happened?”
Tricia took a deep breath, trying to suppress her fury.
Tm almost better, I have to get out of here, or lan will be taken by Carlene
Cristina was helpless when it came to lan. He could easily block the Pennyfeather family’s business for
half a year, this was not something they could control.
Cristina hugged Tricia
“Don’t worry, Maja and lan’s marriage is up to Holden. As long as Holden doesn’t agree, Carlene can
only be a lowly mistress. She was spoiled growing up in the Shepard family. How could she endure
this? You just need to show off your charm in front of lan.”
Being comforted like this, Tricia let out a sigh of relief.
“Didn’t Glenn say he was going to take action against Maja? When exactly?”
She couldn’t take it anymore. Carlene and Maja, both despicable people!
“It will be soon, just wait a bit longer.”
