Chapter 811
"Christina, did you betray me?" Lucy sounded angry on the other end of the phone.
Christina, who was still lying in bedzily with her phone in her hand, called Lucy for advice. Surprised
by Lucy''s yelling just now, she could feel her mind get soberer.
"I didn''t."
"Wasn''t Patrick suspicious when you tried so hard to please himst night? Did he think you were
possessed by a devil?"
Christina recalled what had happenedst night. Patrick clung to her tightly, whispering in a maic,
hoarse voice. "Why are you so sweet tonight? Did you discover something? What happened?"
Christina could still feel his warm breath seducing her to tell him the truth.
"I didn''t betray you. I promise."
Fortunately, Christina was determined enough to resist Patrick''s charm.
Lucy told Christina about how Patrick had failed to win Christina''s heart in high school, which wasn''t a
pleasant memory to him. If he knew Christina had been aware of this during sex, he would definitely
torture her even harder.
"Patrick thought everything I didst night was because I wanted him to help me deal with the trouble I
caused."
Lucy was convinced by this reasonable answer.
Christina''s muffled voice came through the phone. "Why does he always suspect I will cause trouble?
Am I a troublemaker to him?"
"Well, ask your conscience about this. He has to clean up the mess for you every time you cause
trouble." Strictly speaking, it was Lucy and the others, employees of Patrick, who had to clean up the
mess.
Patrick had been abusing them in the past!
Therefore, Lucy raised her voice and shouted at the phone. "Christina, what advantages do you think
you have?"
Then she snorted, whose arrogant tone got Christina thinking in silence nervously.
Patrick was better than her in all respects. In an instant, Christina''s heart was filled with shame, guilt,
and anxiety, but she drove them away at once and retorted loudly. "I believe everyone was born with
his or her own talent!"
"What? Do you realize the importance of treating Patrick nicely now?"
"Well, you don''t want to cry in regrets when he chooses a vixen over you one day, do you?"
"Unfortunately, Christina, you''re useless. You can''t take good care of him in daily life, and you are just
an idiot when ites to business. What advantages do you have, Christina?"
Lucy spoke to her at a deliberately slow pace with sarcasm.
Irritated by her words, Christina sat up immediately with her teeth gritted. Although she felt an urge to
argue with her, she had to admit the fact that what Lucy said was true.
In the end, she let out a sigh. "What should I do?"
A healthy marriage needed efforts from both sides. Christina felt insecure, considering Patrick was

more powerful and wealthy and obviously in a higher position in the family than her. There was nothing
she could do if Patrick fell in love with another woman one day.
Christina tried to change the situation but didn''t know what to do.
She said in frustration, "Just like there are new flowers every year, there will always be beautiful, young
women outside. If I were a man, I would lose interest in my useless wife who gets older and older. Even
though I didn''t actually sleep with others, I would definitely cheat on her mentally."
Lucy was d to see Christina frustrated.
Lucy would be jealous of her if Christina lived a happy life.
However, Lucy didn''t dare to actually make Christina depressed since Patrick would definitely give
Lucy a hard time if he knew what had happened.
Christina wasn''t a capable woman but anything bad that happened to her would drive Patrick crazy.
"Let me give you some advice. Do a better job in bed."
"With all due respect, this is the only thing you can do now. Work harder and give him a few more
children. At least you''ll have children who support you when anything happens."
Lucy offered her bad advice irresponsibly.
"Look at you, you''re still in bed thiste. Your husband has been working in thepany for a whole
morning. Don''t leave any chance for others to ruin your marriage, especially those vixens in the
“Get up, put on your makeup and the newest, the most expensive jewelry and clothes, and go to the
loves and marries and warn them to stay away from him if they don''t want to lose their jobs.”
Only when Christina hung up the phone did she realize she would be a heinous queen that everyone
hated if she did what Lucy had told her.
But she still took Lucy''s madcap advice.
Apart from Lucy, she didn''t have any other friends to consult. She didn''t want to disturb Crystal since
she was extremely careful about her pregnancy now due to the big shadow left by the miscarriagest
time.
It was already three in the afternoon when Christina finished dressing. Patrick must have had his lunch
now.
To show her sincerity, Christina decided to cook some snacks and bring them to him, which worried all
the chefs in the Hopkins family very much. They picked the easiest snack for her: biscuits. The biscuits
Christina made didn''t look delicious but were generally safe to eat after the burnt ones were thrown
away.
Christina walked briskly into the IP&G building.
People working at IP&G were all smart. Christina had been here yesterday and sat in the waiting room
of the lobby alone. When Charles took her to the elevator, the receptionists were guessing about her
identity and betting that she was one of Charles'' girlfriends.
They knew the truth from one of thepany''s group chats for gossip after work. One of the security
guards took a picture of Patrick leaving with Christina. Their boss, who always looked cold and
indifferent, wrapped his arm on Christina''s shoulder intimately. It turned out Christina was their boss''
wife!
The receptionists didn''t recognize her yesterday! Fortunately, they hadn''t been rude to her.
As soon as Christina arrived at thepany today, the receptionists greeted her with a smile and led
her to the VIP elevator. They also tried to help her carry the bag.
"Thanks, but I can do this by myself."
Seeing that all of these receptionists were curry favor with her, Christina eximed to herself secretly
how useful Lucy''s suggestion was, thinking that they must have been shocked by her expensive
clothes and jewelry.
In fact, her identity as "Patrick''s wife" was more valuable than any jewelry.
Christina could enter Patrick''s office as freely as she entered his study. The secretary didn''t even
bother to inform Patrick about Christina''s appearance. He just gestured for her toe in with a smile.
