Chapter 28: Mad from Being Jealous


    "Miss Jones, Universe Studios has already confirmed that you will be the heroine of their first y of


    the new year.This is a remake of the blockbusterst year.After rounds of selection, you got the role as


    soon as you made aeback.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 ying important leading roles.There


    are also rumors that you refuse to ept ordinary ys.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 rted 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,st 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,st 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 simr 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


    ufortable 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


    y.Patrick is obviously throwing money to support her..."


    Patrick had been busytely, 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 y.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 y was a remake, the crew was top-notch, and the goal was to break through the


    ssics.


    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-inw 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 hadplex emotions with his eyes burning fiercely, like...


    With a bang, Patrick raised his hand and mmed 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 thepany 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 monthster?"


    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 exined, "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 circr 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 rece 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.


    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 ss 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 saidst time that the video of me jumping into the river was withdrawn.Now grandpa is


    ming me.That old man is so insidious.He keeps scolding me.You will also be scolded when you go


    home!"


    Christinained 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 herints.


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