Chapter 619


    “No!” Christopher shook his head, his eyes glinted. “I’m just a little taken aback. Even though I have


    given you so much money, Mr. Goldstein is still concerned about you and fears that you don’t have


    enough money to spend. I mean, he even gave you such a significant dowry – isn’t he afraid that I


    might just keep your dowry to myself?”


    “Will you do that?” I teased him. Since I was not facing him, I was unaware of Christopher’s upset


    reaction upon reading about the shareholding.


    “This is entirely possible. I’ve recently decided to expand a few projects. So why don’t you transfer your


    shares to me and I’llbine our shares to make a bigger profit? What do you think?”


    “Huh?” I turned around to look at Christopher and asked, “Do you really want to do that?”


    “Of course! Do you find it upsetting that I want to take your shares?” Christopher pretended to be in


    pain and sprawled on the table. He then said, “Poor me! My shares are gone and I’m trying to borrow


    money from my Honey, only to be turned down. So, what should I do next? I can’t stand it anymore; I’m


    going to jump into the river!”


    “Remember to bring me with you when you jump. Tell your beautiful assistant to draw up a document,


    and I’ll sign it for youter,” I said while lightly tapping Christopher’s shoulder.


    Obviously, I did not believe that Christopher would take possession of my assets. However, since


    Christopher stated he wanted it, I would simply give it to him. The naive me would not have an idea


    what was going on with these projects.


    I then went to the office of Lane Corporation andpleted all of the relevant procedures and


    formalities. I was not hesitant at all when it came to the signing. “If my dad wants to see me in the


    future, I’ll tell him to contact you directly.”


    To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best not to tell Mark about it. At that time, I had no idea about Mark’s


    purpose in giving me these documents.


    After a long time, when everything had happened, I realized it was all a scam and Christopher was the


    ultimate target. Perhaps no one would expect me to so easily hand over to Christopher something


    worth more than a billion.


    I was feeling grateful at the time. I loved Christopher, and he also loved me. We trusted each other, and


    even if some bad things happened along the way, we would still have faith in each other. That was why


    we could get through our crisis.


    I checked my phone but did not see anyone sending me a text message. The only message I had


    received was from Remington, who was urging me to finish the painting quickly. He asked me to stay


    focused on my current task instead of chatting with Christopher all the time.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    I replied coldly to him: Mr. Artist, you do not understand the world of love. You should look for someone


    to share your artistic world with. If you don’t, you’ll be lonely when you get older, and no one will be by


    your side to appreciate your artwork.


    As soon as Remington saw my message, he replied: Even if you’re having a great time with your


    partner, you still need to finish your artwork. Aside from that, please tell Crystal to bring her artwork to


    me as soon as possible. I’m not just going to sit here and wait for her.


    When I saw his message, I realized Remington was possibly aware of Crystal getting closer to my


    mom. After all, Avenport was only a small city and Remington’s clients were rich and prestigious. It was


    only normal for him to know about it.


    I let out a sigh. The thought of having to find Crystal for such things made me feel very uneasy. I must


    have owed Crystal in my previous life. Perhaps I was the one who took her life. Otherwise, why does


    she keep bullying me in this lifetime?


    When I returned to the Goldstein residence, the housekeepers were concerned about me and asked


    where I had gone the night before. In contrast, my mom did not say anything when I did not return


    homest night. I was befuddled.


    If she became overly concerned about me, I was afraid she would keep asking me about Christopher. If


    she did not appear to be worried about me, I would think she was so preupied with Crystal that she


    no longer cared about her biological daughter.


    Perhaps this was a fundamental bad habit, but I still believed that the main reason I became like this


    was that the person who was always by my mother’s side was Crystal.
