Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 275 

Christina's string-puller was...

When Crystal saw Charles, who was sitting opposite them, she suddenly understood.

So this unambitious Mr.Shepherd was the string-puller.

"I want to advance to the second round of this audition"

Christina went straight to the point.

Yet Charles looked a little gloomy and did not speak.He glared at her unkindly, gritted his teeth to suppress his anger.

It seemed that he would explode at any time.

At present, Crystal sat quietly, yet was secretly happy.It turned out that Christina was here to threaten Charles.

"Is that why you called me out?"

He slammed the table with a sullen face and questioned Christina coldly.

"Yes."

And she admitted it honestly, which provoked him even more.

He couldn't restrain his anger any longer and shouted at her angrily, "You didn't contact me for so long.And you came to me this time to use me.Do you think I am too stupid to see that? Christina, don't be so self-righteous.Why should I listen to you?"

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Crystal then turned to look at the woman beside her with tremble.

After all, if Christina wanted to ask for help, she had to swallow her pride first.

However, Christina asked again, "Are you going to help me or not?"

He then paused for a moment, then his face turned darkened.

Even Crystal thought he was not going to help Christina.

And he was pissed off and scolded angrily again, "Christina, you haven't recovered yet.You should be at home and recuperate yourself! Don't go out anymore.And don't think about the audition!"

Christina did not refute.It was rare for her to listen to him patiently.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not harmonious, the waiter quickly served the drinks and left immediately.

"I heard that someone was dead in the apartment you are living.When did you become so poor? How dare you live in a haunted house? Are you possessed by a ghost? I don't understand why you want to participate in the IP&G project.You are not a professional.And the audition is obviously a cover-up.It's all cut and dried."

Crystal was surprised that he knew about Christina's haunted house.

Being scolded, Christina had no shame.She was expressionless and looked at the tea in front of her.

It seemed that she struggled for a second before she pushed the milk tea to his side.

And he also noticed her action, but still glared at her with a gloomy face.

Then she said, "Do you want to drink milk tea?"

He paused and then took it over.

And Crystal was surprised to see that Charles, who was emotional a second ago, was bought over by a cup of milk tea.

And he was quite satisfied with it.

In fact, Christina didn’t intend to bribe him.

She only felt that he was probably thirsty after speaking so long.

Seeing that he had drunk the milk tea, she then asked energetically, "Anyway, I want to be on the promotion list for this audition."

It was probably he had been oppressed by her in the past, so he was actually glad that she was nice to him.

Even she only gave him a cup of tea, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.But when he calmed down, he became dispirited for being bought over so easily!

"Why did you participate in this audition?"

Since he could not refuse, he then immediately put on his airs.

At least he should let her know that she was begging him for help now.

"I'm short of money." She replied flatly.

"Short of money?"

He didn't believe that.So he glared at her.

"If you don't tell me the truth, don't expect me to help you!"

In fact, Crystal was also curious.

And she secretly looked at Christina.

At this moment, Christina frown slightly, as if she was hesitating.

After about three minutes, she turned her head away with a guilty look in her eyes.

She was forbearing and said in a low voice, "I must get into the next round."

Until now, Crystal was still confused that why he was suddenly willing to help.When he heard Christina's soft voice.he jumped up from the chair as if he had been provoked.

He was ready to scold her again, but he held back.His face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll help this time.But if you have any conflicts with Patrick, don't come to me for help again!"

Then, he left.

"He seems very angry"

Crystal watched him storm out and couldn't help but worry.

"If you really advance in the audition, you will have to contact Patrick.If Charles refuses to help you, then you will face it alone..."

"I know;"

Christina nodded, then reminded Crystal, "Your Italy powder is cold"

Crystal sighed and didn't have any appetites now.

However, Christina started eating her own pasta with a fork and then said firmly, "Charles will help me"

Indeed, as Christina had expected, Charles was soft-hearted.

No matter how much he was mad at her, he would never leave her to face the difficulties alone.

After several screenings, only 4 places were left, one of which would belong to her.

When Barbara was chatting with the personnel department about the promotion list, she was shocked to hear Christina was on it.

"Didn't she get rejected in the primary?"

She suppressed her displeasure and asked coldly. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Henry, the head of the personnel department, looked around and saw that there was no one around.

Then he whispered in her ear, "Mr.Shepherd arranged it."

"Charles Shepherd."

She said the name expressionlessly and sneered.

"Christina's so capable.Even Mr.Shepherd would help her"

It was not strange that the people were clinging to power.

If Christina was still Junior Mrs.Hopkins, lots of people would help her.

But now that she was so destitute, Charles was still willing to help her.But Barbara soon felt something was wrong.

"Why didn't she come to Derek?"

Given Christina's current situation, her relationship with Derek was closer than that of Patrick's friends.

Moreover, Derek had always responded to her requests.

"Christina, why didn't you ask Derek for help?"

Today, Crystal accompanied Christina to the IP&G Group to confirm that Christina had entered the finals.

And Christina felt very nervous standing here.

"Sometimes I think Derek is more powerful than Patrick.If you need anything, you can go and ask him."

After they finished, they then left.

They walked out of the company gate side by side and stopped at the gate, waiting for a taxi.

Crystal said some of her own opinions.It was obvious that Christina suddenly participated in this activity for a reason, but she was unwilling to say it out.

"I don't want him to interfere," Christina explained.

Crystal was curious.

"Why do you want to participate in this activity?"

As she spoke, she said gloomily, "Is it that you want to see Patrick?"

Hearing this, Christina froze.

At this moment, a black Rolls-Royce passed them.Patrick and Barbara were sitting inside, chatting happily.And they drove directly to the Hopkins residence.
