Patrick's face darkened gradually.
He didn't say a word more, turning around and striding 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 is he angry about?"
She stepped forward and suddenly wanted to catch up with him.
But she remembered what happened between him and Cecilia.
‘Forget it!’ Patrick was indeed very angry.
With a sullen face, he took out his cell phone, and ordered in a cold voice, "Send me the WhatsApp
password of your company'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 privacy.
"I will find someone to crack it"
Charles became nervous when he heard this.
"What happened?"
"Send me Connie's WhatsApp password..." Patrick sounded impatient.
‘Connie?’ Charles looked thoughtful when he heard the name.
Connie was indeed an entertainer under his company.
But she happened to be robbed of the role of the leading actor by Cecilia last 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 popular in the entertainment circle.She can win the award at the end of the
year without any threat.There's no need..."
‘’I don't want to explain this to you” Charles had to have someone send Connie's password to Patrick,
lest Patrick really found a technician to crack it and made his company's database revealed.
However, Charles didn't understand why Patrick wanted Connie's WhatsApp password.
Moreover, Patrick never used 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 affair 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 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 glared 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? Mr.Hopkins asked me to come here today because you are acting in the
name of Miss Dickens.Every word and action of yours affects our 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 accepted 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.
"That is really funny for you to say those words to me.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 scolding me?"
Christina stood still, with her eyes red.
She looked at her heartless father in front of her stubbornly.
Donald's face was gloomy.
His hand stopped suddenly when it was half an inch away from her cheek.
He withdrew his hand and ordered directly, "I warn you to be docile in the future.Don't be a villain!"
"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 let you go!"
"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 silent, suppressing the grievance and resentment in her heart.
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 accept her fate.
"The reason why you say so much to me is that you worry about Carrie and Connie, isn't it? What are
you worried about? Are you worried that I'll rob Carrie of her man later? What did Connie say to you?
I'm a b*tch.I've humiliated the Dickens Family.Right? Have you ever f*cking thought that who your
biological daughter is?"
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 flashed 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?" Donald was angry.
That year, she used her mother's inheritance to ask Donald to help Cory...
Christina held back the tears in her eyes.
It was worthless to shed tears for these people.
This thing was what made her feel most regretful.
She felt bad for her dead mother and grandpa.
‘Cory, that bastard, had an affair with Carrie.But now it becomes my fault? Why is everyone blaming
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.
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 particular, looked fiercely at Carrie, who suddenly appeared.
He said angrily in a low voice, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Carrie ignored him and looked at Mr.Hopkins timidly.
"Her name is Jasmine.She is my and Cory's daughter.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 the Hopkins
Family and looked at Christina at the door.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"Grandma."
The little girl ran to Laurie again, playing 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 the 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 I'm 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 you committed 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.
"I see."
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.
"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!"
