My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 437

"Miss, wait a minute. You missed a thing..." The logistics officer in the prison suddenly shouted at her, "This coin is yours..."

A silver-black coin was put in her palm.

The coin felt slightly cold, which made her shiver. A chill ran down her back.

"This..." Christina seemed to think what she was holding was something dirty and wanted to return it, "This, I didn't bring it here!" Even her voice was trembling.

People in the prison were more irritable. The people queuing behind shouted at Christina, "Don't block the way. Take your stuff and get out of the way!"

The logistics staff did not bother to pay attention to her.

Everyone who came to the prison to visit, their personal belongings like phone shall be stored in a small box. They could only bring papers from lawyers in the prison. No matter how Christina said that the coin was not hers, it was indeed the item discovered in her small box. According to the rules, it should be returned to her.

Christina was pushed to the side by the crowd behind her, and she still looked dull, staring blankly at the silver-black ancient coins.

"It was thrown into the lotus pond by Charles last night. How could it be..."

There was a scratch on the ancient coin, which was caused by the needle last time when she was attacked in Japan.

This was the same ancient coin.

Christina froze for a long time, and her face looked pale. An armed guard in the prison noticed something unusual about her while patrolling, so he walked over and rudely picked up an iron bar. He knocked hard on the iron window beside her, banged, and warned her, "This is prison. Leave quickly."

Christina was still in a state of shock. She looked up at the majestic prison guard in front of her and nodded dully. She then walked out and felt that she was floating.

"This ancient coin..."

"It really came back on its own." It deliberately pestered her.

Christina was instantly terrified by it and shuddered.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. The sudden sound startled her as she was already disturbed.

She looked at the familiar number on the screen. It was from Patrick.

Christina pressed the answer button and suppressed the nervousness in her mind. She said nervously, "What's the matter?"

"Where are you now!"

Unexpectedly, Patrick asked her back anxiously.

"At, at the company..."

She knew that Patrick was still in Europe, and people in the Hopkins family didn't know that she was on leave today. So she naturally lied to prevent him from asking further questions.

Patrick was even angrier when he heard her say that. He asked her directly, "Why did you suddenly go to C City?"

He was prepared early. Hearing her speak so confidently, his tone became a little harsher.

Patrick was still in Europe, but an hour later, he received a call from his home, reporting to him that today Christina drove out to somewhere but the company. The one called also reported to Patrick that Christina had deliberately asked for sick leave to the company. He kept calling her just now but her phone was turned off.

Patrick remembered that recently Charles's elder brother could not be contacted. When he heard the report from the Hopkins family, he immediately sent someone to investigate. The project he was working on was also left to his subordinates to discuss. Now he was flying back with his exclusive plane.

Now that Christina's phone was connected, she even dared to lie to him!

Patrick looked unhappy, but Christina on the other end of the phone had no intention of explaining anything. He became angrier and angrier, "You'd better explain it clearly!"

Christina was so confused by the ancient coin in her hand that she didn't have the mood to think about anything else. She was also angry when he became angry out of nowhere.

He clearly knew that she didn't go to work today, and he also found out that she had taken a short flight to C City this morning. Now the way he spoke with her was like he was questioning a prisoner.

"Can't I come to C City? Can't I ask for leave from the company? Do I have no personal freedom at all? Should I be locked up like a prisoner?"

"Christina!"

Patrick was so angry that he didn't know how to scold her. He shouted her name angrily.

She, she was being unreasonable.

"What are you trying to lecture me again? Do you want me to shut up? I'm sorry, I'm not an employee of IP&G Group. I'm not your subordinate. You have no right to order me to do things!"

Christina seemed to get angrier as she spoke.

In the past two days, she herself had been driven mad by these strange things. Patrick's anger towards her today was like a fuse for her to vent her anger out.

Patrick was usually very indifferent to what was going on outside, but now he was so furious that he gritted his teeth, "You suddenly asked for leave, and you did not answer the phone. Others will worry about you."

"My phone is only turned off for an hour. I came to C City in the morning. I'll be back in the Hopkins family by 7 pm. Don't worry."

She had already thought about it. She came over in the morning and went back before dinner. She didn't want them to worry. How did she end up making others worry about her?

Hearing her talk about her arrangement, Patrick became aware that she was not forced by others and felt better gradually.

After all, he was not angry because he restricted her from going out, but because he was worried that something unexpected might happen to her.

After calming down, he tried his best to use a gentle tone with a hint of coaxing, "Why did you suddenly go to C City?"
