Spoil My Errant Wife

"Christina's jade?"

"A half-moon blood jade...I have no idea about it.She didn't tell me"

Crystal was puzzled by the question.

But the Mr.Shepherd seemed unwilling to let her go, so she added, "Christina did tell me something weird that happened to her recently"

"Something weird?"

Charles was a little discouraged because he didn't get any useful information about the jade from her.Something weird couldn't arouse his interest.

"Well, she said that she received two text messages on her phone..."

"One came on a rainy day, telling her to go to a cocktail party in Gordon Hotel.It was sent by Patrick.The other came yesterday, telling her to go to the Golden.A Club, which was sent by Barbara..."

Crystal tried to make it as detailed as possible.She was worried.

The strange takeout from nobody really freak her out.She was indeed lucky to marry a rich man like Patrick.But if this marriage would be a threat to Christina's life, what could she do? 

"Barbara asked her to go to the Golden A Club?"

Charles was confused.

He thought about it for a while and then shook his head, "Impossible."

Crystal wasn't satisfied with his reaction.

"You don't believe her, do you? But she doesn't have to lie.Even if there's a misunderstanding, we should trust her...To be honest, she wouldn't even care about Barbara if she hadn't provoked her all the time..."

"What did Barbara say to Christina in private?"

"I don't know" Crystal replied moodily.

Christina didn't tell her.

"How could Barbara bully her? We all know Christina's personality.She's so vivacious and outgoing"

Charles still couldn't believe it.

Now Crystal was annoyed.

"Hey, don't take it for granted that you rich people know everything.It's true that Miss Parker didn't hurt her with knife or something.She did it with all her tart mockery and sarcasm, which are sharp enough to hurt people like a knife.You think Christina was fine because she didn't say anything about it to anyone.You are wrong.I've known her for many years, and she didn't mention a word to me about how badly her stepmother treated her after her own mother had killed herself, how she was disliked by the Dickens Family, or how Cory had ignored her for the whole three years.It was just not her style to complain things to other people.She'd rather endure it by herself.How can you consider that as the evidence that she didn't get hurt!"

Charles was stunned by her scolding.He couldn't help to size her up.

Crystal used to be such a gentle lady.

That was why he was so surprised to see her talk like that.
