Chapter 32
Patrick’s face darkened gradually.
He didn’t say a word more. He turned around and strode away.
Christina looked a little confused when she watched him leave without a word.
Christina didn’t understand what was wrong with him, but she felt that he might be angry.
What was he angry about?
She stepped forward and suddenly wanted to catch up with him. But she remembered what happened
between him and Cecilia, and Christina’s heart was blocked. Forget it!
Patrick was indeed very angry. With a sullen face, he strode forward, took out his cell phone, and
ordered in a cold voice. “Send me the WhatsApp password of your company’s entertainer…”
Charles, on the other end of the phone, received the call and felt that Patrick was obviously in a bad
mood, “Patrick what do you want the WhatsApp password for? It is not good…” After all, this was about
the
privacy.
“I will find someone to crack it.”
Charles became nervous when he
heard this. “What happened?”
“Send me
Connie’s WhatsApp
Patrick
sounded
password… impatient.
Connie? Charles looked thoughtful when he heard the name.
Connie was indeed an entertainer under his company. But she happened to be robbed of the role of the
leading actress by Cecilia last time, and Connie was a member of the Dickens Family…
“Patrick, you’ve registered for marriage with Christina. After all, Connie is also a member of the Dickens
Family. Now Cecilia is very popular in
the entertainment circle, and she can
win the award at the end of the year without any threat. There’s no need.”
Charles said weakly, but… In the end,
Patrick didn’t bother to explain.
Charles had to resign himself to having someone send Connie’s password to Patrick, lest Patrick really
found a technician to crack it and made his company’s database revealed.
However, Charles didn’t understand why Patrick wanted Connie’s
WhatsApp password for no reason.
Moreover, people like Patrick might never use WhatsApp.
Christina sat in the pavilion in the back
garden for a long time, and she looked a little angry. “Why should he be angry? I’m not angry yet!” She
was unpleasant when she thought of Patrick’s callousness.
He went out to fool around and had an
atlair with another woman. Why should he be angry with me?
But just now. Patrick’s look was very strange when he gazed at her.
Christina was distraught and was about to go to the study to ask Patrick about the reason when a tall
figure strode towards her.
As soon as Christina turned around, she became wary when she met her father—-Donald’s stern gaze,
“Do you have any sense of shame?” The moment he opened his mouth, he scolded her sarcastically.
She had been used to his father’s scold. Christina’s face was grim and her hands were clenched in
fists. She
walked away as if he wasn’t there.
“Stop!”
Donald seemed angry. “You married Cory three years ago. Why didn’t you tell me?” His tone was cold
and inquisitive.
“Why should I tell you? You have had nothing to do with me since I left the Dickens Family the day my
mother died!” Christina couldn’t help but turn
back and retort.
Had you ever cared about me? Where were you when I was starving and
freezing? Did you want to care about
me?
He didn’t care about her, and she
disdained his care.
Donald glared at his own daughter. He had only one daughter, Christina, but now they had a
confrontation and viewed each other as enemies.
“Have nothing to do with me? The Old
Master of Hopkins Family asked me to
come here today because you are acting in the name of Miss Dickens. Every word and action of yours
affects
Dickens Family. Don’t embarrass me
outside!”
Christina retorted angrily. “My marriage with Hopkins Family had nothing to do with my identity as Miss
Dickens. Hopkins Family accepted me only because I was pregnant. Don’t think that your Dickens
Family is very powerful. I don’t care!”
“Do you still have the face to talk to me about this? You climbed to Patrick’s bed in order to marry into a
rich family!” Donald’s face also darkened.
Yes! I love vanity. I climbed to Patrick’s bed on purpose!” Christina bit her lips and asked back cynically.
“Why should you teach me a lesson? When my mother helped Connie and her sister go to college,
Connie was only 20 years old. She had climbed to the bed of you, a 50-year-old old man at that time.
Why didn’t you tell her what shame was when you were fooling around?
“Shut up!”
Donald’s face was dark, and he raised
his big palm and hit her in the face.
“What else would you do apart from beating me and teaching me a lesson!”
Christina stood still, with her eyes red. She looked at her heartless father in front of her stubbornly.
Donald’s face was gloom. His hand stopped suddenly when it was half an inch away from her cheek.
He withdrew his hand. He said coldly and ordered directly, “I warn you to be docile in the future. Don’t
be a villain!”
“Your stepmother has already told me
that you made use of Cory’s case to ask him to marry you and drive Carrie out of the country. You
became the mistress on purpose in an attempt to get revenge Don’t think about
malicious provocation all day, or I won’t spare you!”
“Who is the mistress!” Christina held back the tears in her eyes and roared.
“Carrie’s daughter has been over three years old this year. Do you still want to argue!”
Christina suddenly fell suppressing the grievance resentment in her heart
silent,
and
She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. “I helped Cory back then. I didn’t regret doing all
the stupid things. I loved him back
then. I was willing to bear everything. I didn’t need his gratitude, and I didn’t bother to fight for it with
such dirty
methods.”
She, Christina, dared to love and hate.. Even if she loved the wrong person, she was willing to accept
her fate.
“The reason why you say so much to me is because you worry about Carrie and Connie, isn’t it? What
are you worried about? Are you worried that I’ll rob Carrie of her man later? What did my stepmother
say to you? I’m humble. I’ve humiliated Dickens Family. Who is your real relative?”
Christina couldn’t hold back and tears
welled up in the corner of her eyes. She
hated these people!
She did not want to talk to him and did
not want to see him. She straightened
her back and walked with heavy
footsteps. She strode past him and left.
with her only dignity in her lone figure.
Donald’s eyes flashed with surprise. He knew that his daughter was haughty and it was not easy for
her to shed tears from childhood.
Didn’t Cory know about the case that
year…
Three years ago, his stubborn daughter knelt down and begged him, using her mother’s inheritance as
a trade. Finally, he agreed to secretly help Cory avoid imprisonment…
“Who is lying on earth?” Donald’s face
grew darker.
That year, she used her mother’s
inheritance to ask Donald to help Cory… Christina held back the tears in
hereves. It was worthless to shed tears for these people.
Regret? If there was any regret, this thing was what made her feel most regretful. She felt bad for her
dead mother and grandpa.
Cory, the ungrateful man, had an affair with Carrie behind Christina’s back. But now it was Christina
who was wrong and everyone was blaming her.
The more Christina thought about it. the angrier she became. She strode back to her bedroom, not
wanting to see these people.
However, just as she passed the Main Residence of the Hopkins Family, a familiar little figure ran past
her
excitedly.
The little girl was wearing a cute pink bubble dress with two small braids. Christina’s face darkened.
She was Carrie’s daughter.
How could she be here…
“Great-grandfather…” She called out with a childish and coquettish voice.
Christina looked into the hall with her
neck stiff only to see the little girl running to the front of Mr. Hopkins and called the old man lovely and
sweetly.
Mr. Hopkins had always liked children When he saw this cute little girl appearing suddenly, his old face
was stunned. “Who is she?”
This question embarrassed everyone present
Cory, in particular, looked fiercely at Carrie, who suddenly appeared. He said angrily in a low voice,
“Why did you come here all of a sudden?”
Carrie ignored him and looked at Mr. Hopkins timidly. “Her name is Jasmine. She is the daughter of
Cory and me. She is three years old.”
Mr. Hopkins looked at Carrie with sharp eyes and then looked at the child in front of him. His brows
were
furrowed as if he were deep in thought.
Even Donald and Connie were surprised that Carrie had suddenly brought the child to Hopkins Family
and looked at Christina at the door. For
a moment, everyone fell silent.
“Grandma.” The little girl ran to Laurie again, playing coquettish at her feet.
Laurie took the child to do the DNA test. The little girl was indeed Cory’s daughter. So Laurie treated
the child indulgently and doted on her. She rubbed her little head and said, “Dad. this is the little
granddaughter of Hopkins Family. She said and admitted the identity of the child.
Christina looked at the harmony in the hall without expression. It felt like that it was a marriage between
the Dickens Family and Hopkins Family but it was
Cory and Carrie who got the blessing
instead.
She raised her lips and felt bitter.
Mistress. Everyone thought she was
the mistress
Whether it was as for Cory or as for Patrick, she always seemed to be regarded as the mistress,
pushed out by those women but she couldn’t win…
Christina turned around and ignored the people in the hall.
Just as she stepped forward, she heard Mr. Hopkins say in a calm voice behind her. “Since the child
has been three years old, you should get married as soon as possible…”
Christina found it ridiculous that Mr. Hopkins actually urged Cory and Carrie to marry in person.
In the hall of the Hopkins Family,
Carrie looked surprised and excited. She grabbed Cory’s arm and asked, “Cory, when are we going to
register for the marriage?”
Cory’s face was dark and he didn’t want to talk
Connie leaned over and whispered in Cory’s ear, reminding him, “Don’t forget that you almost went to
jail for the rape case you committed back then. It was my little sister who helped
you.”
When Cory heard her mention the
case three years ago, he became
serious.
At this moment, the little girl was approaching him and calling him “dad” in a coquettish voice…
Cory looked up at the door subconsciously, Christina had already
left.
“Isce”
There was unwillingness in his eyes. But when he looked at Mr. Hopkins’s majestic eyes, he could only
nod his head reluctantly.
“Tomorrow, I’m going to register for marriage with Carrie.”
Cory said in a low voice. He had tried everything he could to divorce Christina, thinking that he would
be happy to marry Carrie, but now…
– It was different from what he had imagined as if something had been
intervened and schemed.
When Carrie heard that he was going to register for marriage with her tomorrow, she suddenly looked
excited. She walked to Connie and they went to the bathroom together.
Carrie took her arm and thanked her. “Sis, thank you so much this time.”
“Why did you thank me?” Connie was confused. After thinking for a while. she asked, “By the way, why
did you suddenly bring the child to the Hopkins Family?”
Carrie’s happy face froze after hearing Connie’s question.
Immediately. Carrie nervously took out her cell phone. “It isn’t it because
you just sent me a WhatsApp message saying there was an urgent matter and asking me to bring my
child to the Hopkins Family immediately.”
“I didn‘t send you any message!”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
