Chapter 515


    This was the first time Christina had visited the sales center.


    No one had ever asked Christina what she liked about buying a house. Patrick and the others all


    bought houses directly and then took her over to see.


    Crystal was chatting with the enthusiastic salesdy, but Christina did not join in. Christina thought she


    was just a driver apanying Crystal.


    Christina walked around curiously and looked at the models of the building. There were small andrge


    units, detached houses and townhouses...


    Just like going to the counter to buy new clothes, on a whim, Christina casually pulled a salesperson


    who was exining to other guests and asked.


    "... How much is it?" Christina pointed to a small apartment with 2 rooms and a hall.


    "Miss, you have a good taste. A small house like this is the most suitable for investment. There are a


    lot of office workers nearby, so it''s easy to rent it out. The rent is equal to the monthly installment


    payment. It''s very cost-effective..."


    The salesperson was as enthusiastic as ever.


    Christina said calmly, "I''d like to live by myself."


    The guest who was looking at the house was very excited and scolded the salesperson with a fierce


    face, "I came to look at the house first, and I took a fancy to this first. Besides, I bought it for


    investment. I can buy 5 sets at once!"


    The richdy nced at Christina arrogantly.


    "These people who n to live on their own will make careful calctions. They''ll bargainter. It''s


    extremely troublesome."


    When the salesperson heard that the richdy wanted to buy 5 sets, he immediately smiled and


    ttered her. "Not everyone is as generous as you. If you need anything, I will definitely serve you as


    soon as possible."


    Christina was expressionless. She wanted to buy an apartment for herself. The Hopkins family was too


    big. Although Patrick gave her a detached house with good living environment, the neighbors were too


    far away, and sometimes she felt too lonely. Besides, Eric gave her several houses, and the Dickens


    family also left two sets for her in the C City...


    However, it was like a woman buying clothes. The entire cloakroom was full of all kinds of clothes, but


    asionally she wanted to wear something different.


    "... Why did you buy so many houses to rent to others?" Christina asked casually.


    Christina couldn''t understand the behavior of buying houses to make investment and housing


    spection.


    It was just like that she would never lend the clothes in her own wardrobe to others. Even if someone


    gave her money, she would not lend them.


    Thedy red at Christina. "You don''t even know housing spection. Illiterate!"


    Seeing that thedy was so arrogant, Christina was not angry. She just said coldly, "If you don''t have


    much money, don''t buy so many houses. Be careful."


    "What did you say?"


    Thedy in a red leather suit and ck high boots was immediately annoyed.


    When the staff in the sales center heard the quarrel, they rushed over nervously to avoid angering their


    big clients. One of the sales managers immediately pushed Christina away. "Miss, do you want to buy a


    small apartment with 2 rooms and a hall? There are also many houses over there. I''ll take you there.


    The discount there is higher."


    "Don''t push me. My clothes are wrinkled."


    Christina didn''t like the service in this ce. She shook her hand and pushed the sales manager away


    in disgust.


    The sales manager didn''t expect Christina to be so pretentious. He immediately felt a little dissatisfied,


    but he still said it nicely. "Miss, the lowest price for the new property over there is more than 4 million


    dors. Although there are only a few sets left in the other old property of ourpany, the price is only


    2.8 million dors. It''s almost half cheaper, which is more suitable for you..."


    "Why did you take me to look at the old sets?" Christina''s face was livid. She nced at the name of


    the real estatepany marked at the bottom left of the sales manager''s name tag and scolded, "Fuck


    Charles!"


    It turned out to be thepany invested by Charles!


    No wonder Chandler came here to buy a house. The services here were too terrible!


    The sales manager heard Christina scolding the name of the general manager, shocked.


    "Miss, do you know Mr. Shepherd?" Only then did he take a serious look at Christina''s clothes. It


    seemed that her clothes could not be bought easily.


    Christina was in a bad mood and did not even look at him.


    "... If there is any illegal building, I will report it immediately. I''ll see how the profiteer Charles can sell


    the house."


    Christina immediately vented her anger on the innocent Charles and snorted. She really wanted to kick


    those building models.


    The sales manager immediately changed his expression and apologized, "M-miss, I said the wrong


    thing just now. Don''t take it to heart..."


    Although he didn''t know what this woman''s background was, he couldn''t offend her. If he really got into


    any big trouble, it would be really difficult.


    Christina was more than a trouble for Charles.


    "Christina, you can''t be too wicked. Leave some houses for others to buy." A clear voice came. Lucy


    strode forward and suddenly patted Christina on the shoulder.


    Christina was shocked to see that it was Lucy''s prank. Christina had recently be familiar with Lucy


    and knew that Lucy looked cold and heartless, but in fact, she was extremely childish.


    Being angered by the sales manager, Christina said coldly, "I asked you to investigate Brianna, but you


    just bum around all day and don''t do anything."


    "You can''t me me for this. I''ve worked so hard to go out of town, only to find that the orphanage


    where Brianna had stayed was burned down. I couldn''t find out anything. All the background


    information about her was burned."


    Lucy pretended to be mysterious and whispered in Christina''s ear.


    "Do you know how difficult it is to find out about her? There were also fires in both orphanages where


    Brianna had stayed before she was adopted in the Hopkins family. Tsk tsk..." Lucy gave a meaningful


    look.


    As soon as Christina heard this, she immediately forgot the trivial matters about buying a house and fell


    silent with a serious expression.


    "You mean," Christina repeated, "All three orphanages where Brianna had stayed had fires?"


    Lucy smiled with interest.


    Brianna seemed to be more interesting than she had thought. Previously, Lucy had only thought that


    Brianna was Patrick''s autistic sister, and had never cared about her.


    Lucy, who liked to stir up troubles, was a little excited. She dragged Christina out of the sales center


    and said, "Do you think it''s possible that Brianna set fire to all three orphanages?"


    "Then she''s really awesome." Lucy couldn''t help but exim.


    Christina saw her excitement and rolled her eyes. "Impossible. She was only a few years old then."


    "You don''t know. Some children are born with a lot of schemes at a young age. Have you ever seen a


    film called ''The Bad Seed''?"


    Christina frowned. "It''s just an exaggeration in films. She''s not that scary." Still, Christina didn''t believe


    it. "Human nature is good."


    Lucy shrugged. "I''m sorry, I''ve always supported what Xuncius said that human nature is evil."


    When people were born, they did not know anything. They didn''t know what self-discipline was, what


    Therefore, in Lucy''s opinion, every child was a devil.


    Christinaughed at Lucy''s unreasonable reasoning.


    Compared to Crystal, who was always apologizing to others and being polite, Lucy was real. Even if


    she was shameless, she was aboveboard.


    "Christina, are you leaving?" Crystal, who was behind her, saw Christina walking out and called out to


    her.


    Christina turned around and asked, "Hasn''t Chandler arrived yet?"


    Crystal looked a little embarrassed. "Maybe there''s something wrong with thepany. It''s okay. I''ll sit


    here and wait for him..."


    Christina was impatient and immediately cursed Chandler in her heart.


    Lucy was right beside Christina and said slowly, "... You''re like the back-seat driver." Crystal didn''t care,


    while Christina was so angry.


    "I''ll discuss Brianna''s matter with you." Lucy simply dragged Christina on. A wicked smile shed


    across Lucy''s bright eyes and she told Christina in a teasing tone, "Christina, I''ll tell you a secret by the


    way. Geoffrey is not Chandler''s biological son..."


    Christina was in astonishment, as if she was shocked by thest sentence.


    Then, Christina immediately turned around and looked at Crystal with strange eyes.


    Being stared at, Crystal felt a little confused. "What?"


    "No-nothing." Christina felt a little guilty and said casually, "I have something to do with Lucy first... Oh,


    by the way, this real estatepany belongs to Charles. Remember to ask them for a big discount. If


    they don''t agree, then call Charles and say that''s what I said!"


    With that, Christina and Lucy strode away side by side.


    Crystal stood still. She looked at Christina and LUCY, who were standing side by side, feeling


    inexplicably disappointed.


    It was as if watching her best friend gradually leave her. She couldn''t keep up with Christina. She was


    really inferior to Christina and Lucy.


    Crystal sighed and sat back in her chair dejectedly. She nced at the clock on the wall. Chandler


    hadn''te yet.


    Christina and Lucy were outside the sales center.


    "You just said that Geoffrey is not Chandler''s biological son?" Christina looked gossipy and lowered her


    voice. "Erica had an affair..." As she spoke, Christina was a little sympathetic.


    No wonder Crystal said that Chandler had his reasons. It turned out that he was in trouble.


    In an instant, half of her dissatisfaction and anger with Chandler dissipated.


    Lucy wanted tough when she saw Christina''s exaggerated expression. Christina had an expressive


    face no matter when she was happy or angry.


    "Strictly speaking, Chandler was indeed cuckolded in his previous marriage, but he did it voluntarily


    because the man was his own brother..."


    "Chandler and Erica were in love when they were studying abroad. Because of their conflicting


    personalities, they broke up. A yearter, Erica and Mark had an official engagement. Chandler went


    home to attend his brother''s wedding, only to find that his ex-girlfriend had be his sister-inw."


    "When Chandler and Erica were talking by the wall, Mark happened to bump into them. The wedding


    was suddenly canceled. Mark suddenly said he was going to Switzend to climb the snow mountain,


    but then fell down and died."


    "Chandler and Mark''s parents didn''t know the truth, and they were heartbroken seeing their son pass


    away. At that time, Erica happened to find out that she was pregnant with Mark''s child for three months.


    Mark had just passed away, so the his parents naturally wanted to keep this child. However, Erica had


    the condition that she wanted Chandler to marry her."


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucy briefly described thisplicated triangr rtionship. Finally, she came to the conclusion,


    "Erica is a lunatic."


    Christina didn''t believe what she had heard and looked at Lucy in disbelief.


    "Are you lying?"


    Lucy was expressionless. "I have evidence. I can get you the paternity test result of Geoffrey and


    Chandler."


    "Why didn''t Patrick tell me?" Christina looked surprised and gossipy.


    "Boss probably doesn''t take this to heart. There were all kinds of stories in upper ss. Besides, men


    don''t like to talk about personal matters."


    Even Charles didn''t mention a word about it to Christina. He didn''t want his brother to be treated as a


    joke.


    It was because this past was so ridiculous that even if Chandler had been married to Crystal for so


    long, Charles didn''t know how to tell the truth.
