Chapter 229 Envy


    Christine''s POV:


    "What''s wrong with your face?" Hayley asked, her sharp gaze fixed on me.


    I touched the small cut on my face and exined, "It''s nothing, just a little ident, but it''s fine now."


    ayley sighed upon hearing this, wondering, "What kind of luck do we have that even small idents happen to us in the same way?"


    I immediately asked, "What happened? Did something happen to you?"


    Hayley sighed again and exined, "I went horseback riding yesterday and fell off


    the horse. Fortunately, it wasn''t serious, and I''m already better today."


    Hearing that, I sat down and quietly said, "Actually, I got hit by a car."


    Hayley was shocked. "What? You were hit by a car? When did this happen?"


    "It''s fine now; it''s in the past, but do you know who hit me?" I said, a smile creeping onto my face.


    Hayley frowned, puzzled. "Who?"


    I grinned, "It was my hubby, Christopher."


    Hayley''s eyes widened in disbelief. "He hit you?"


    "I suddenly remembered that day when I called Christopher, and he said he was


    at the hospital. Could it be that he was visiting you since you were hit by a car?


    "Are you sure you''re okay? This isn''t something to joke about," Hayley said, her voice full of


    concern.


    I shook my head and said, "It''s fine, really. I''m good! Actually, I feel kind of happy, even though my body is sore. Deep down, I''m happy because this ident has brought me closer t my hubby."


    Hayley shook her head disapprovingly. "You''re risking your life just to be closer to your idol? That''s not okay."


    "Others aren''t worth putting yourself in danger for," she added, her tone serious.


    After a deep sigh, she said, "Well, as long as you''re fine, that''s what matters. The rest doesn''t


    matter."


    But I disagreed

    Chapter 39 Envy


    These past few days with Christopher, I''vee to realize he''s truly a great person.


    He was not only handsome, but also incredibly patient.


    Despiteing from a prestigious family and being a high-rank beta, he never looked down on me nor was he impatient with me.


    Most importantly, he was responsible. He could have easily left this entire


    situation to his assistant or manager, but he chose not to.


    cared about my injury and even took the time to visit me at the hospital.


    All in all, I think Christopher was a wonderful person. I can''t even imagine who in


    the future will be lucky enough to be chosen as his mate.


    The thought made my chest tighten, and I started to envy the girl who would marry Christopher.


    Meanwhile, at Horizon Entertainment, an agile man entered Gillian''s dressing room. He reported, "Ms. Gillian, here are the photos we''ve taken recently of Christopher."


    The man tossed an envelope to Gillian. She smiled and raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Did you get anything useful?"


    The man shrugged and said, "Big discovery-Christopher seems to be in a rtionship."


    Gillian froze, and she immediately asked, "Seriously?"


    The man gestured toward the envelope. "There''s proof, with photos."


    Gillian opened the envelope, and inside were images of Christopher at the hospital with Christine, as well as pictures of him dropping her off at school. "This... at the hospital?"


    The man smirked wickedly and said, "Yeah, the hospital. What do you think a young, unmarried couple is doing at the hospital?"


    Gillian looked up at him and asked, "Don''t tell me they''re having an abortion." "We''re in a state where abortion is legal,” he replied casually.,


    "But the public opinion game can be controlled, right? A bit of negative publicity could definitely hurt Christopher''s image," Gillian said with a knowing smile.


    The man spread his hand and said, "I don''t know the exact reason, but the media might be very interested in digging into it. You know how rumors go-no one really knows the truth."

    She then chuckled. "The entertainment industry works like this, and yes, this could be useful. But that''s not what I''m after. Didn''t you get any other pictures?"


    The man leaned in, grinning. "Ms. Gillian, I''ve only been trailing him for a short time, and I already have this big scoop for you. I may not have a lot of credit, but at least I''ve worked hard. You should reward me, so I''m motivated to dig deeper."


    Gillian was no fool. She stood up, reached out, and pulled the man toward her, kissing him on the lips.
