Chapter 56: Want to Hear Your Voice

"Christina!" A dark blue Bentley pulled over in a hurry.

Charles peeked out of the window and looked at the woman sitting in the stone chair with a
complicated look.

He shouted angrily.

"Christina, you said you went to visit your aunt in North of the City, but it was just an excuse for you
dating Cory?!"

"What?"

Having heard Charles's voice, Christina immediately raised her head and came back to her senses.

"I've seen how intimate Cory and you were..."

Charles did not look at her anymore and his voice became cold.

"Get in the car.Your date is over.I have to take you back."

"Christina, don't do anything you shouldn't..." Charles's face was sullen.

Seeing her get into the car, he started the car quickly and reminded her in a meaningful tone,
"Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

If Christina hadn't totally cut off from her relationship with Cory, Charles could tell that Patrick would not
let her go even though she was pregnant with his child.

Patrick would make her suffer.

Because Patrick hated to be cheated on.



Christina sat quietly in the back of the car, listening to his warning silently.

At this moment, Cory, who was outside the car, saw that Christina sitting in Charles's car and leaving.

He subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but he stopped.

Cory was a little upset, and he didn't understand his emotions.

Christina was his cousin-in-law now.

He shouldn't have coveted her, but...

"She said she had something important just now.What on earth is it?"

After sending Christina back, Charles drove away without saying goodbye as if he was dissatisfied with
her.

The butler was surprised to see Christina coming back so soon.

He wanted to ask why, but he decided not to bother her since she didn't look happy.

She was really not in the mood to visit Betty.

She wanted to go straight back to her bedroom, but when looking up at the exquisite and thick door at
the end of the corridor on the second floor, she hesitated.

‘‘Patrick is not at home now, so..”

Patrick spent most of his time in this study after he came home.

Christina had never entered the study before, but she thought that if this man had any secrets, they
must be hidden there.



Christina came to the study.

She looked around to make sure there was no one else.

She secretly twisted the doorknob and immediately slipped in.

The study was spacious, simple, and dark-colored, with a lounge and bathroom.

Sometimes Patrick slept here.

There were five rows of bookshelves on the left with books and documents on them, a coffee table by
the French window, a combined sofa, and three computer screens on the wall.

It was Christina's first time to enter here.

It was said that a man’s study room represented his personality and ability.

The books here were written in at least eight languages.

And his concise notes showed his bravery and cautiousness.

She quickly rummaged the bookshelf for some useful information, such as some about Carrie, or
Cory...

Christina's eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn't expect that she could really find something.

In the bottom row of the fifth shelf, in a yellowed document bag, there were many documents about
Carrie and Cory.

"So many..."



And these were all old documents from a few years ago...

Most of them were from six years ago.

She carefully took out one of the documents about Cory and gently opened it.

"Malicious accusations, semen evidence, rape cases..."

Christina became more nervous and she anxiously took out the entire document to read it carefully.

"What is this?"

She mumbled, Reading the content, she couldn't help tensing up.

"You forgot to close the door!"

At this moment, suddenly, a maid's scolding voice came from outside.

"Apart from cleaning regularly every day, Young Master does not allow anyone to enter the study.There
is not much time left.Hurry up and come in to check and tidy up..."

When Christina heard the sound of the door opening and the approaching footsteps, her heart skipped
a beat.

She immediately put the document back in its original position, looked around, lowered her body, and
quickly tiptoed to the large curtain behind the bookshelf to hide.

The maids were cleaning in the lounge and the bathroom.

Although Christina could not see their faces behind the curtains, she could feel the atmosphere.

The maids did not dare to say much.



Their movements were quick and gentle.

Christina knew that all the servants in the Hopkins Family were afraid of Patrick.

All of a sudden, footsteps approached her.

Christina was so scared that she held her breath.

She froze and dared not move.

"There's no need to clean up over there.We can't touch the bookshelves..."

The leading maid saw that the cleaning was almost done and ordered, "Be quick and check again if
everything is done.If you finish, go out..."

About five minutes later, Christina heard their footsteps disappear.

She lifted the curtains cautiously and found only one maid checking the windows now.

She grabbed the chance to lean down and walk out of the room.

The lock on the study's door was very special.

Without a key, she wouldn't be able to get out if she was locked inside...

Christina returned to her bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a pity that she had not had time to peruse the document.

There was one more thing she was worried about.



‘‘If there are any surveillance cameras in the study? He wouldn't check the surveillance every day, but if
he found out I had touched his documents” Christina felt guilty and nervous for most of the day.

At about seven o'clock.

When Patrick came back for dinner, she sat beside him and kept her head down, not even daring to
look at him.

Patrick ate elegantly with an indifferent expression, but when he glanced at her, his expression became
meaningful.

"At 10:30 this morning, Young Madam and Cory met at the open-air coffee cafe.The details of their
conversation are not clear..."

"And the man we sent to follow Young Madam was discovered, and now he's caught by Cory..."

After dinner, Patrick returned to his study and the bodyguard reported respectfully.

He remained silent, but the atmosphere in the study was oppressive.

"Mr.Hopkins, our man has been caught.Do we need to..."

The bodyguard lowered his head and asked carefully."..let her be.’ He said that in a deep voice.

The bodyguard froze.

Young Master meant that they pretended not to know that their man had been caught.

He didn't understand why his boss ordered that, but he didn't have the guts to ask, so he walked out
respectfully.

"Christina, what on earth do you want to know?" Patrick murmured.



The IP&G Group's fiftieth-anniversary party would be held next week.

Patrick was very busy every day.

He had gotten used to knowing her whereabouts in his spare time.

Busy until 2 am, when Patrick entered the bedroom, the woman was already sleeping soundly on the
bed.

He sat by the bed and looked at her profile for a while.

He reached out and was about to smooth her messy hair on her forehead, but Christina seemed to be
very sensitive and as soon as his hand reached out, she immediately turned over, as if she didn't want
him to touch her.

Patrick's hand was frozen in midair.

At this moment, the phone on the bedside table vibrated...

Patrick picked up the phone, narrowed his eyes at the caller ID.

He answered the call gloomily, and soon a man’s voice came.

"Christina, I'm Cory..."

"I just want to hear your voice, he said in a nervous tone.” It seemed that he was afraid that she would
hang up, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, today you said you had something important to tell me, what exactly is it..."

"She's asleep!" Patrick said in a cold voice.



The next second, before Cory could react, he hung up impatiently.

’‘Cory…”
