Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 28: Mad from Being Jealous 

"Miss Jones, Universe Studios has already confirmed that you will be the heroine of their first play of the new year.This is a remake of the blockbuster last year.After rounds of selection, you got the role as soon as you made a comeback.How do you feel?"

Christina was sitting in front of the small sofa of her bedroom, watching the entertainment gossip.

The news about Cecilia's return to the entertainment industry was being broadcast.

"Miss Jones, since you debuted six years ago, you have been playing important leading roles.There are also rumors that you refuse to accept ordinary plays.Everyone has been very curious about your emotional life.Can you reveal the identity of the man a little bit?"

"Miss Jones, did you marry into a rich family when you suddenly disappeared three years ago? Did you come back because he tolerates your interest?"

Cecilia smiled but didn't answer.

She was dressed in a light yellow suit jacket and a long chiffon dress, looking fashionable and elegant.

When she was asked about her affair, her face flushed slightly and she looked happy and shy.

"Patrick is so good to her.’’ Christina looked at the face on the TV that was almost eighty percent like herself.

She suddenly felt a little depressed.

Christina never paid attention to entertainment news, but recently she took an interest in Miss Jones.

She didn't know if she was too bored or...concerned.

She suddenly wanted to know more about Cecilia.

Theoretically speaking, Cecilia was also her rival in love...

"Charles!"

Christina picked up the phone and called Charles.

She did not dare to ask Patrick directly, but Charles was different.

She felt that Charles was much easier to get along with than Patrick.

Charles was a little surprised when she called.

He thought for a moment before answering, "Christina, what's the matter? Have you been bothered by the recent news? Are you jealous?"

He gloated in an unserious tone.

When Christina heard the word’ jealous, her face darkened.

She raised her voice and retorted, "I'm not jealous.I just want to know if I really have a half-sister."

Speaking of this, Charles once doubted, "Don't think too much.Cecilia is not related to you at all"

"Cecilia has been an orphan since she was a child.She was adopted by an old couple in Canada when she was a baby.After she grew up, she went to a university in the United States.Patrick met her in New York six years ago...’’ Christina looked a little awkward.

She also knew that Miss Jones was unlikely to be her biological sister.

She just wanted to know more about her rival in love.

Then she suddenly thought of something that she didn't understand.

"Charles, last time in C City, did you say that Patrick went to pray at her tomb?"

"You thought she was dead and buried her in C City? Is Cecilia's ancestral home in C City?"

Christina's ancestral home was exactly in C City.

Speaking of this, Charles looked strange and his voice was low.

"I don't know about her ancestral home, but...Cecilia talked a lot about the high school in C City with Patrick..."

"Is it my alma mater? Hey, Charles, last time you said that Patrick was back in C City for half a year at the No.1 High School..."

Christina seemed a little excited when he mentioned that high school.

"I advise you not to mention the high school in front of Patrick.He doesn't like it to be mentioned." Charles interrupted her.

Christina listened to his serious tone and did not ask any further questions.

It seemed that every time he talked about Patrick's six months in C City six years ago, he was hiding something, which seemed to be a secret.

"To be honest, apart from the fact that you have similar facial features and bodies, well...Christina, you are so violent.Cecilia is such a gentle and beautiful girl.You are no match for her"

Charles teased her before hanging up.Christina didn't bother him anymore.She just felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of Miss Jones.

"As soon as Cecilia came back, Charles treated her well.He was nicer to her than to me.He has never given me a gift." Christina was jealous.

Originally, she was looking forward to the remake, but, "Cecilia's character is not suitable for that play.Patrick is obviously throwing money to support her..."

Patrick had been busy lately, and she guessed that he was busy with his career of Cecilia.

After all, this time Cecilia took the role of another woman.

"You took the role that belonged to Connie!"

The door of the office was pushed open and Cory anxiously stormed in.

"Universe Studio attaches great importance to this TV play.Last year, they had already started to choose roles.Cecilia's temperament is not suitable to be the female lead at all.You actually interfered in the investment for a woman!"

Since the TV play was a remake, the crew was top-notch, and the goal was to break through the classics.

This temporary change in the lead increased the risk of investment, and Cory was one of the investors.

Compared to the agitation and anger of Cory, Patrick, who was sitting at his desk, looked indifferent.

"You can withdraw your funds if you want."

Patrick continued to hold the pen and sign the document.

He didn't even raise his head.

Patrick's cold attitude provoked Cory.

"Brother! You know this isn't just about investing!"

He almost gnashed his teeth when he said "brother".

"Brother, you should know that Connie is Donald's current wife." Connie was Christina's stepmother as well.

Patrick's hand paused and he chuckled.

"So what?"

"At least Connie is also from the Dickens Family.You and Christina are legally husband and wife.You are doing this openly to curry favor with your mistress and go against the Dickens Family.Brother, isn't that too mean to Christina?"

Patrick didn't pay much attention to Cory.

However, when Cory mentioned Christina's name, Patrick suddenly raised his head and asked in a cold voice, "What are you trying to say?"

Cory had always been afraid of his cousin since he was a child.

Apparently, Cory was displeased now.

He was careful about his wording, "Brother, I know you're using Christina as a substitute for Cecilia.But no matter what, don't hurt Christina."

Patrick looked at him and his eyes grew colder.

"You came here today to remind me not to hurt Christina.You seem to care about her!"

"I told you.Don't interfere with me and Christina!" Cory blurted out, "I've been married to Christina for three years.I know her personality.She can't give in to being anyone's substitute, and I just had a misunderstanding with her..."

"What? Are you regretful? Do you miss your ex-wife?"

Patrick suddenly sneered, suppressed his anger, and looked at Cory fiercely.

"Don't forget that she's your sister-in-law now! A good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture..."

"Some things are destined to be impossible in the beginning...So don't dream about it!"

Patrick said word by word, suppressing his fury.

"Get out!"

He suddenly stood up from his chair and gave a stern shout.

Cory was stunned.

He didn't expect Patrick to be so emotional.

It seemed that Patrick had been irritated by something.

Patrick had complex emotions with his eyes burning fiercely, like...

With a bang, Patrick raised his hand and slammed the vase on the left counter onto the floor.

"I've been married to Christina for three years.For three years.Three years..."

Cory's words echoed in Patrick's ears...

Patrick was mad from being jealous.

They had been together for three years, but he had waited for six years.

People on the top floor of the IP&G Group were nervous...

On the sixth day of the new year, some of the senior executives who were lucky enough to be called back to the company for the first meeting were a little excited.

However, they didn't expect that Patrick had a gloomy face during the afternoon meeting.

"In terms of the undersea tunnel project with Germany, all the raw materials are transported from Germany, and the price has been agreed on.But the construction time needs to be postponed for two months.."

The project director spoke carefully.

With a cold face, Patrick grabbed a document from the desk and flung it out with a bang.

"Two months later?"

He looked up at the project director.

The project director could tell from the grim tone that the president was dissatisfied with the result.

The project director broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "President, this is because there are some core issues in the engineering department that need to go abroad..."

"Then what's pointing of paying them?" Patrick interrupted him in a cold voice, looking grim.

"Bring the foreign team back directly.Fools! Don't you know that time is money?"

In front of the huge circular conference table on the top floor of the IP&G Group, the elite executives lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

The more Patrick looked at these people, the more displeased he became.

Suddenly, he stood up.

The rest of the people immediately tensed up, only to hear Patrick impatiently instruct, "Discuss the rest of the project.Send the decision reports to my office by tomorrow morning."

It was not until Patrick strode out of the conference room that the nervous executives breathed a sigh of relief.

They all looked at each other with bitter faces.

The president was not easy to get along with.

Who the hell offended their president! Today was the first day to work after the new year.

Patrick was standing in front of a French window in his office on the top floor of the sixty-eight floor of the grand IP&G Group Building.

He was in a bad mood as he watched the sunset.

"President, the flight to New York is already booked."

The chief secretary pushed the door and came in to report.

As long as Patrick was in a bad mood, he liked to work overtime and travel.

He was literally a workaholic.

Patrick was still cold-faced and upset.

He walked straight to the door with his long legs and was about to leave for New York to negotiate on a new project.

However, just as Patrick was about to leave the office, he paused.

He looked at the calendar on the wall thoughtfully.

It was Sunday tomorrow...

"Let the vice president replace me to go to New York..."

Patrick ordered the secretary in front of him.

Just as he spoke, his cell phone rang.

Patrick looked at the caller ID on his phone, slightly raising his eyebrows.

"What is it?" Patrick asked.

The voice was still cold, but the secretary was surprised and felt that the president's tone was much softer. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Christina's face puffed up in anger.

She quickly said, "Patrick, grandpa asked me to tell you not to sneak away on a business trip.We both have to go to class tomorrow!"

Patrick listened to her slightly angry voice.

It seemed that her mood had eased a lot.

He joked and asked, "Scolded by grandpa?"

"Come on! You said last time that the video of me jumping into the river was withdrawn.Now grandpa is blaming me.That old man is so insidious.He keeps scolding me.You will also be scolded when you go home!"

Christina complained to him with a darkened face.

"Also, grandpa said that we have to take notes for the maternity course tomorrow.I don't care.I won't do this.You can do it yourself..."

The man was silent, listening to her complaints.

The thick glass reflected Patrick's handsome profile.He raised his thin lips and chuckled…
