“Derek has turned the whole financial market upside down recently.You know what he wants to do…Christina, you’d better be aware of whose baby you are carrying,” Barbara satirized.
Christina gritted her teeth at her words dripping with sarcasm.She wanted to retort but suddenly saw a few figures rushing over.
“Young…Young Master Hopkins…”
The two maids in front of Christina fawned on Patrick.
Christina’s face darkened as she stared at those in the front, silent.
But Barbara, who was preaching to her just now, turned obviously nervous.
Patrick never liked others to interfere in his private affairs.
“What’s wrong?” the tall and strong man approached Christina and asked in a low voice.
Christina tilted her head to the lotus pool on the other side.
Recalling what Barbara had said just now, she ignored Patrick angrily and pulled a long face.
Clearly, she was out of her plate.
Originally, all the Hopkins family were in mortal fear of Patrick.
Only Christina dared to give him a black look.
In the beginning, even Nanny Faang was surprised by her boldness.
After getting along with Christina for a year, they somehow got accustomed to it.
Instead of pursuing, Patrick turned his deep eyes to her two new maids, hinting at them to speak.
The two poor girls’ hearts had been in their boots by Christina these days.
Being stared at by their Young Master, they turned green around the gills and wished to explain the quarrel between Miss Parker and Junior Mrs.Hopkins, shivering.
“Christina, stop troubling Barbara.She didn’t do that,”
Charles couldn’t stand it and interrupted the strange atmosphere lazily.
Utterly discomfited, Christina glared at him.
“Who on earth was making trouble?” she complained only.
But judging from the imposing manner, it seemed that only Christina could be the one to blame.
“Barbara, Brianna is awaiting you in the hall,” Chandler also came this day.
He spoke gently, much wiser than Charles that fool.
Barbara smiled awkwardly, “I was just walking around…I’ll be right there.”
Her explanation meant that she didn’t come to Christina on purpose, but just passed by.
Christina knew that Barbara was acting.
Squinting at her receding figure, Christina got angry and cursed in the heart, “What a cheeky slut! Chandler also followed her gaze.He frowned slightly and wore dissatisfaction.They’d seen a lot of people.Barbara’s petty trick didn’t hold water.
Christina looked sideways at Patrick and found that his face was as cold as usual.
To Patrick, Barbara’s explanation collapsed at the first blow.
“What did you have for breakfast?” Patrick asked.
Hearing the low voice from above, Christina kept a straight face: such a bromidic question went beyond her expectation.
She grasped the phone on the stone table in the pavilion, as if not wanting to reveal the content on the screen.
Barbara’s mention of the Fisher family and Derek quite upset her.
Charles was dissatisfied that Christina still grudged friendliness even though Patrick had softened his tone.
“I’ll transfer her to the filiale in Paris next month…”
Patrick continued in a low voice, sighing as if having compromised.
Christina’s eyes lit up with surprise.
“Seriously?”
Charles questioned.
He turned his head sulkily and glanced at Christina, complaining with indication, “Barbara just argued with her for a while, not to such an extent as to be expelled abroad…”
How capricious was Patrick that he should casually determine to dispatch Barbara to Paris! Christina held her tongue, just letting Charles grumble.
She remembered that while cursing Barbara, her rival in love, together with Crystal, she was evilly plotting how to eliminate Barbara.
