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 yourpany’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 hispany. But she happened to be robbed of the role of the


    leading actress by Ceciliast 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 popr 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 exin.


    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 hispany’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


    air 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 red 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


    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 epted 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 viin!”


    “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 ept


    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 manter? What did my stepmother


    say to you? I’m humble. I’ve humiliated Dickens Family. Who is your real rtive?”


    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 shed 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 ming 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.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    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 particr, looked fiercely at Carrie, who suddenly appeared. He said angrily in a low voice,


    “Why did youe 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, ying 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 youmitted 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!”
