"Is Miss Dickens Mr.Hopkins's wife?"
Everyone was surprised.
"Director Parker, is this true?"
Barbara looked grim.
If the light in this corner wasn't so dim, they could even clearly see her gritting her teeth and staring at
the uninvited guest opposite her.
"Miss Jones, this is an exclusive party.May I ask why you're here?"
She emphasized the last words with a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I've been too idle lately.I happen to have the membership of this club, so I come in to take a look."
Cecilia did not care how others think about her at all.
She lit a cigarette and puffed out white smoke.
Then she turned around with a charming smile, looking at the others.
"As soon as I came in, I heard that your friends were very interested in Miss Dickens.They are asking
you questions about Miss Dickens, why don't you give an answer?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
Her style of conversation was unhurried and mature and she spoke as if she were joking, "Then I
should remind them of Miss Dickens's identity, preventing them from offending Mr.Hopkins's
beloved.otherwise, it would be troublesome."
Everyone present heard what she said clearly.
Everyone here was smart, so they did not ask Barbara any more questions.
Their eyes fell on this stranger.
Everyone present knew Cecilia, an arrogant woman.
She was once a very popular female artist because of her identity as Patrick's girlfriend.
However, it was heard that she seemed to have offended Patrick, and then no film and television
company dared to use her again.
As soon as she appeared, everyone was looking at these two women.
Everyone was brooding over their own matters.
"So, so Miss Dickens is Mr.Hopkins's wife.That's why Mr.Shepherd has been taking care of her so
much."
Yes, I've already noticed that Miss Dickens is quite different from the other models."
The second-guessers smiled brightly but said the fakest words.
If they had known that Miss Dickens was Hopkins family's granddaughter- in-law, they wouldn't have
pestered Barbara.
Why would they hold the open audition if the right person was here? However, it was too late to please
Miss Dickens.
"Director Parker, since this is about advertising, shall we vote again..."
"Yes.I think Miss Dickens did a good job in the last shot."
Businessmen always wanted to optimize the benefits.
They would change their decisions as soon as they found who the big boss was.
"It's up to the director to decide.Our company has its own principles."
Barbara's face was getting even paler after hearing their words.
Although Renee was chosen for the advertisement, she was afraid that Renee would not dare to take it
now.
"Miss Parker, it seems that you don't get along well with Mr.Hopkins's wife.It's not wise."
Barbara was very angry as she noticed that Cecilia was picking on her.
She thought that Cecilia was supposed to be down and out.
However, she was wearing luxury brands all over her body, and the fire diamond on her finger was
especially ostentatious.
"It seemed that you have already found another man.You looked good today:"
"Not bad.There were men giving me money, and buying jewelry that I was interested in in the auction
for me.What's the best, I don’t have to work so hard and wear a smile all day like you"
Cecilia spoke in a very leisurely tone, looking like a rich wife.
Barbara didn't like her attitude, and she was also confused.
"Cecilia, I don't think there was anything wrong between us.Why did you speak like that? Plus,
shouldn't you hate Christina more?"
"I hate her.Of course, I hate her"
They sat opposite each other, separated by an exquisite wooden table.
Suddenly, Cecilia leaned closer to her ear, whispering a curse filled with resentment, "I wish Christina
to die!"
A woman who was jealous was terrifying.
Barbara also hated Christina, but she did not hate her.
"Cecilia, you've gone for so long.Why did you suddenly show up?"
"I've been around all the time.Who said I disappeared? I've been busy all the time."
The jealousy and hatred on Cecilia's face had disappeared.
She pressed her fair fingers against her red lips and smiled, still looking charming.
"Look over there..."
Cecilia pointed in the direction of the shooting range.
Barbara looked down with a complicated expression, and she was surprised.
Christina was the only one practicing at the shooting range.
No one dared to interfere with her, even for those who had already made an appointment to practice
shooting.
Especially now, the head coach, who was very skilled at shooting, seemed to have no choice but to
move backward.
It was their Mr.Hopkins who was forcing Christina to hold the gun with both hands.
Mr.Hopkins stood behind Christina, put his hands on her fingers, and taught her to control the direction
of the gun.
"Calm down and look ahead"
"Forget all your thoughts and keep your eyes on the target.."
Christina's cheeks suddenly flushed.
He tilted his head and whispered in her ear.He was not very gentle, but absolutely serious.
"I can do it myself"
She was a little awkward and didn't want him to teach her.
"Be good!" Patrick blurted out.
Her heartbeat missed half tempo, and with a bang, she missed the target again.
She didn't know how many bullets she had wasted.
Christina began to wonder if she was too stupid in the aspect of shooting.
She lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and her bright eyes were filled with inferiority.
At this moment, she wanted to get out of the people behind her and strode out of here.
She felt ashamed here.
Then suddenly, Christina heard his deep voice sound in her ear.She was not sure whether she was
hallucinating.
"Christina, I want you to...learn to protect yourself"
Feeling surprised, she quickly turned to look at his face.
But he looked cold, only his deep eyes were filled with some emotion.
Bang -
She hit the red heart.
Be quiet.
He stood right behind her, making her unafraid of anything.
The head coach cheered and said with some approval, "Miss Dickens, you're very talented at
shooting."
The purpose of the party had changed a little.
Everyone was staring at the shooting range, wondering if they should go over and praise Miss Dickens
a little bit.
She was Mr.Hopkins's wife.There were voices all over the place.
No one paid attention to Barbara anymore.
"Miss Parker, why don't we make a bet?"
Cecilia suddenly talked to her in a weird tone, acting as she was chatting with a friend.
She continued, "I bet Christina won't get the IP&G advertisement no matter what."
"Really? Are you preparing to lose to me on purpose to get a favor?"
There was some sarcasm in Barbara's words.It was obvious that Christina could win.
"Barbara, you really don't know him"
Cecilia flicked the cigarette between her fingers and took the last puff.
Thinking of the past, she impatiently extinguished the cigarette in the glass cigarette tray.
She smiled charmingly when looking up again.
"Patrick has a habit.He is used to hiding his favorite things and he will not share them with anyone
else."
So the more he wanted to hide Christina, the more she wanted to tell the world about Christina, letting
her die without a whole body...
