Christina did not speak.She stared at the man in front of her.
He had changed a lot.
Christina, people always change...
He raised the corner of his mouth, a little self-deprecating.
"If Patrick and I were just strangers, maybe I would admire him, but we were cousins, The two of us had been compared by others all the time since we were children because we were at the same age.I hate it the most because I always have worse performance than him.Defeating him has been my dream since I was young"
"Then reality told me that I could never do that...He was the only grandson in the Hopkins family.The IP&G group was in the charge of him.No one could shake his position.No matter how hard others tried, it was a waste of effort"
Cory seemed to be in high spirits and told her the truth.
"In fact, my mother and I used to work together with three aunts to win over the shareholders of the company and use a loophole in the project to exclude Patrick.At that time, we all felt that we would succeed because he had just returned from the United States and had never handled the group's affairs"
As he recalled, he laughed.
"Do you know the funniest thing is?"
"In the end, we found out that Patrick's power abroad was much more terrifying than the Hopkins family's...He was a shareholder of 18 major companies and the president of all regions.No one dared to disrespect him.Christina listened quietly.
She looked at his smile, which seemed very calm, but Christina saw jealousy in his eyes.
"I knew then that I would never defeat my cousin in my life."
Cory paused, looked at her face with crazy, and said in a low voice, "But things are unpredictable.Who knew that he would be unlucky one day..."
Being stared at by him, Christina felt a little uncomfortable.
"What the hell are you trying to say to me?"
Christina, I want to say that I regret it.I regret it very much.I married you first.I could have beaten him once, but in the end, he schemed against me.
Cory suddenly became agitated and raised his voice.
"He conspired with Carrie to deceive me.He schemed against me!"
The anger and jealousy spread through his chest, and he slammed against the table with his right fist.
"I already married you, but he sent Carrie back to lie to me!"
With a bang, the waiter in the hallway carrying their drinks was terrified, and the plate in his hands fell to the ground.
The sudden noise brought him back to his senses.
The waiter quickly tidied up and timidly said that he would prepare new drinks for them.
As an outsider, Crystal was frightened by Cory's behavior just now.She secretly grabbed Christina with her right hand.
If anything happened, she would immediately pull Christina and run away with her.
Christina was calm.
Probably because of her indifference, Cory felt that he was a joke and quickly calmed down.
"Christina, I was the one who wronged you in the past.Will you forgive me?"
"I've forgotten them." Her voice was calm.
Cory also replied calmly, "Your words are really hurtful"
No matter how calm he pretended to be, his jealousy could not be calmed down.
However, he suddenly laughed again.
This time, he smiled sincerely.
"To be honest, Patrick was blind.He chose you among so many women.Hahaha..."
"You didn’t marry me because you loved me.After you didn't marry him because you loved him, either ."
Christina was a little uneasy when she heard this.
Cory seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.
He looked at her face and asked her inexplicably.
