Chapter 28
“Miss Jones, Universe Studios has already confirmed that you will be the heroine of their first y of
the new
year. This is a remake of the blockbusterst year. After rounds of selection, you got the role as soon
as you made aeback. How do you feel?”
Christina was sitting in front of the small sofa of her bedroom, watching the entertainment gossip. The
news about Cecilia’s return to the entertainment industry was being broadcasted.
“Miss Jones, since you debuted six years ago, you have been ying important leading roles. There
are also
rumors that you refuse to ept ordinary ys. Everyone has been very curious about your emotional
life. Can you reveal the identity of the man a little bit?
“Miss Jones, did you marry into a rich family when you suddenly disappeared three years ago? Did you
Cecilia smiled but didn’t answer.
She was dressed in a light yellow suit
jacket and a long chiffon dress, looking
fashionable and elegant. When she
was asked about her affair. her face
flushed slightly and she looked happy
and shy.
“Patrick is so good to her.”
Christina looked at the face on the TV that was almost eighty percent like herself. She suddenly felt a
little depressed.
Christina never paid attention to entertainment news, but recently she took an interest in Miss Jones.
She didn’t know if she was too bored or… Concerned.
She suddenly wanted to know more about Cecilia. Theoretically speaking, Cecilia was also her rival in
love....
“Charles!” Christina picked up the phone and called Mr. Shepherd.
She did not dare to ask Patrick directly. but Charles was different. She felt that Charles was much
easier to get along with than Patrick.
Charles was a little surprised when she
called
He thought for a moment before answering “Christina. what’s the matter? Have you been bothered by
the recent news? Are you jealous?”
He gloated in an unserious tone.
When Christina heard the word
jealous her face darkened.
She raised her voice and retorted, “I’m not jealous. I just want to know if | really have a half-sister.”
Speaking of this, Charles once doubted, “Don’t think too much. Cecilia is not rted to you at all.”
Cecilia has been an orphan since she was a child. She was adopted by an old couple in Canada when
she was a baby. After she grew up, she went to a university in the United States. Patrick met her in
New York six years ago...”
Christina looked a little awkward. She also knew that Miss Jones was unlikely to be her biological
sister. She just wanted to know more about her rival in love
Then she suddenly thought of something that she didn’t understand.
“Charles,st time in C City, did you say that Patrick went to pray at her tomb?
“You thought she was dead and buried her in C City? Is Cecilia’s ancestral home in C City?” Christina’s
ancestral home was exactly in C City
Speaking of this, Charles looked strange and his voice was low. “I don’t
know about her ancestral home, but..
Cecilia talked a lot about the high school in C City with Patrick.”
“Is it my alma mater? Hey, Charles,st
time you said that Patrick was back in
C City for half a year at the No. 1 High
School…” Christina seemed a little
excited when he mentioned that high
school
“I advise you not to mention the high
school in front of Patrick. He doesn’t
like it to be mentioned.” Charles interrupted her
Christina listened to his serious tone and did not ask any further questions.
It seemed that every time he talked about Patrick’s six months in C City six years ago, he was hiding
something which seemed to be a secret.
“To be honest, apart from the fact that you have simr facial features and bodies, hehe… Christina,
you are so violent. Cecilia is such a gentle and beautiful girl. You are no match for
her.”
Charles teased her before hanging up.
Christina didn’t bother him anymore. She just felt a little ufortable at the thought of Miss Jones.
“As soon as Cecilia came back, Charles treated her well. He was nicer to her than to me. He has never
given me a gift.” Christina was jealous.
Originally, she was looking forward to the remake, but, “Cecilia’s character is not suitable for that y.
Patrick is obviously throwing money to support her.”
Patrick had been busytely, and she guessed that he was busy with the career of Miss Jones. After
all, this time Cecilia took the role of another
woman.
“You took the role that belonged to
Connie!”
The door of the office was pushed open and Cory anxiously stormed in.
“Universe Studio attaches great importance to this TV y. Last year, they had already started to
choose
roles Cecilia’s temperament is not suitable to be the female lead at all. You actually interfered in the
investment for a woman!”
Since the TV y was a remake, the crew was top-notch, and the goal was to break through the
ssics. This temporary change in the lead increased the risk of investment, and Cory was one of the
investors.
Compared to the agitation and anger of Cory, Patrick, who was sitting at his desk, looked indifferent.
“You can withdraw your funds if you
want.
Patrick continued to hold the pen and
sign the document. He didn’t even
raise his head and his voice sounded
Patrick’s cold attitude provoked Cory. “Cousin! You know this isn’t just about investing!” He almost
gnashed his teeth when he said “cousin”
“Cousin, you should know that Connie is Donald’s current wife.” Connie was Christina’s stepmother as
well.
Patrick’s hand paused and he chuckled. “So what?”
“At least Connie is also from the Dickens Family. You and Christina are legally husband and wife. You
are doing this openly to curry favor with your lover and go against the Dickens Family. Cousin, isn’t
that disrespectful of Christina?”
Patrick didn’t pay much attention to Cory. However, when Cory mentioned Christina’s name. Patrick
Suddenly raised his head and asked in a cold voice. “What are you trying to say?”
Cory had always been afraid of his cousin since he was a child. Apparently, Cory was displeased now.
He was careful about his wording. “Cousin, I know you’re using Christina as a substitute for Cecilia. But
no matter what, don’t hurt Christina.”
Patrick looked at him and his eyes grew colder. “You came here today to rernind me not to hurt
Christina. You seem to care about her!”
“I told you. Don’t interfere with me and
Christina!”
Cory blurted out, “I’ve been married to Christina for three years. I know her personality. She can’t give
in to being anyone’s substitute, and I just had a misunderstanding with her..
“What? Are you regretful? Do you miss Your ex-wife?”
Patrick suddenly sneered, suppressed his anger, and looked at Cory fiercely. “Don’t forget that she’s
your sister-inw now! A good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture.”
“Some things are destined to be impossible in the beginning. So don’t dream about it!”
Patrick said word by word, suppressing his fury that was about to explode.
“Get out!”
He suddenly stood up from his chair and gave a stern shout
Cory was stunned. He didn’t expect Patrick to be so emotional. It seemed that Patrick had been
irritated by something. Patrick hadplex emotions with his eyes burning fiercely, like.
Bang!
Patrick raised his hand and mmed
the vase on the left counter onto the
floor.
“Tve been married to Christina for three years. Three years. Three years..”
Cory’s words echoed in Patrick’s ears… Patrick was mad from being jealous,
They had been together for three years, but he had waited for six years.
People at the top floor of the IP&G Group were nervous…

On the sixth day of the new year some of the senior executives who were lucky enough to be called
back to thepany for the first meeting were a little excited. However, they didn’t expect that Patrick
had a gloomy face during the afternoon meeting.
“In terms of the undersea tunnel project with Germany, all the raw materials are transported from
Germany, and the price has been agreed on. But the construction time
needs to be postponed for two months.” The project director spoke carefully
With a cold face, Patrick grabbed a document from the table and flung it out with a bang.
“Two monthster?” He looked up at the project director
The project director could tell from the grim tone that the president was dissatisfied with the result.
The project director broke out in a cold sweat and quickly exined, “President, this is because there
are some core issues in the engineering department that need to go abroad.”
“Then what’s pointing of paying them?”
Patrick interrupted him in a cold voice. looking grim “Bring the foreign team back directly. Fools! Don’t
you know that time is money?”
In front of the huge circr conference table on the top floor of the IP&G Group, the elite executives
lowered their heads and did not dare to make a
sound
The more Patrick looked at these people, the more displeased he
became. Suddenly, he stood up.
The rest of the people immediately tensed up. only to hear Patrick impatiently instructed, “Discuss the
rest of the project yourself and send the decision reports to my office by tomorrow morning.”
It was not until Patrick strode out of the conference room that the nervous executives breathed a sigh
of relief.
They all looked at each other with bitter faces. The president was not easy to get along with. Today, he
seemed to have eaten explosives and
was not satisfied with any proposal.
Who the hell offended their president!
Today was the first day to work after
the new year. Patrick was standing in
front of a French window in his office
on the top floor of the sixty-eight floor of the grand IP&G Group Building. He was in a bad mood as he
watched the
Sunset
“President, the flight to New York is
already booked.” The chief secretary pushed the door and came in to report.
As long as their president was in a bad mood, he liked to work overtime and travel. He was literally a
workaholic
Patrick was still cold-faced and upset. He walked straight to the door with his long legs and was about
to leave for New York to negotiate on a new project.
However, just as Patrick was about to leave the office, he paused.
He looked at the calendar on the wall thoughtfully.
It was Sunday tomorrow…
“Let the vice president rece me to

With a cold face, Patrick grabbed a document from the table and flung it out with a bane.
“Two monthster?” He looked up at the project director
The project director could tell from the grim tone that the president was dissatisfied with the result.
The project director broke out in a cold sweat and quickly exined,

eased a lot
He joked and asked, “Scolded by
grandpa?”
“Come on! You saidst time that the video of me jumping into the river was withdrawn Now grandpa is
ming me. That old man is so insidious. He keeps scolding me. You will also be scolded when you go
home!” Christinained to him with a darkened
Also, grandpa said that we have to take notes for the maternity course tomorrow. I don’t care. I won’t
do this. You can do it yourself.”
The man was silent, listening to herints.
The thick ss reflected Patrick’s handsome profile. He raised his thin lips and chuckled…
