Female Novel
Chapter 515
This was the first time Christina had visited the sales center.
No one had ever asked Christina what she liked about buying a house. Patrick and the others all
bought houses directly and then took her over to see.
Crystal was chatting with the enthusiastic sales lady, but Christina did not join in. Christina thought she
was just a driver accompanying Crystal.
Christina walked around curiously and looked at the models of the building. There were small and large
units, detached houses and townhouses...
Just like going to the counter to buy new clothes, on a whim, Christina casually pulled a salesperson
who was explaining to other guests and asked.
"... How much is it?" Christina pointed to a small apartment with 2 rooms and a hall.
"Miss, you have a good taste. A small house like this is the most suitable for investment. There are a
lot of office workers nearby, so it's easy to rent it out. The rent is equal to the monthly installment
payment. It's very cost-effective..."
The salesperson was as enthusiastic as ever.
Christina said calmly, "I'd like to live by myself."
The guest who was looking at the house was very excited and scolded the salesperson with a fierce
face, "I came to look at the house first, and I took a fancy to this first. Besides, I bought it for
investment. I can buy 5 sets at once!"
The rich lady glanced at Christina arrogantly.
"These people who plan to live on their own will make careful calculations. They'll bargain later. It's
extremely troublesome."
When the salesperson heard that the rich lady wanted to buy 5 sets, he immediately smiled and
flattered her. "Not everyone is as generous as you. If you need anything, I will definitely serve you as
soon as possible."
Christina was expressionless. She wanted to buy an apartment for herself. The Hopkins family was too
big. Although Patrick gave her a detached house with good living environment, the neighbors were too
far away, and sometimes she felt too lonely. Besides, Eric gave her several houses, and the Dickens
family also left two sets for her in the C City...
However, it was like a woman buying clothes. The entire cloakroom was full of all kinds of clothes, but
occasionally she wanted to wear something different.
"... Why did you buy so many houses to rent to others?" Christina asked casually.
Christina couldn't understand the behavior of buying houses to make investment and housing
speculation.
It was just like that she would never lend the clothes in her own wardrobe to others. Even if someone
gave her money, she would not lend them.
The lady glared at Christina. "You don't even know housing speculation. Illiterate!"
Seeing that the lady was so arrogant, Christina was not angry. She just said coldly, "If you don't have
much money, don't buy so many houses. Be careful."
"What did you say?"
The lady in a red leather suit and black high boots was immediately annoyed.
When the staff in the sales center heard the quarrel, they rushed over nervously to avoid angering their
big clients. One of the sales managers immediately pushed Christina away. "Miss, do you want to buy a
small apartment with 2 rooms and a hall? There are also many houses over there. I'll take you there.
The discount there is higher."
"Don't push me. My clothes are wrinkled."
Christina didn't like the service in this place. She shook her hand and pushed the sales manager away
in disgust.
The sales manager didn't expect Christina to be so pretentious. He immediately felt a little dissatisfied,
but he still said it nicely. "Miss, the lowest price for the new property over there is more than 4 million
dollars. Although there are only a few sets left in the other old property of our company, the price is only
2.8 million dollars. It's almost half cheaper, which is more suitable for you..."
"Why did you take me to look at the old sets?" Christina's face was livid. She glanced at the name of
the real estate company marked at the bottom left of the sales manager's name tag and scolded, "Fuck
Charles!"
It turned out to be the company invested by Charles!
No wonder Chandler came here to buy a house. The services here were too terrible!
The sales manager heard Christina scolding the name of the general manager, shocked.
"Miss, do you know Mr. Shepherd?" Only then did he take a serious look at Christina's clothes. It
seemed that her clothes could not be bought easily.
Christina was in a bad mood and did not even look at him.
"... If there is any illegal building, I will report it immediately. I'll see how the profiteer Charles can sell
the house."
Christina immediately vented her anger on the innocent Charles and snorted. She really wanted to kick
those building models.
The sales manager immediately changed his expression and apologized, "M-miss, I said the wrong
thing just now. Don't take it to heart..."
Although he didn't know what this woman's background was, he couldn't offend her. If he really got into
any big trouble, it would be really difficult.
Christina was more than a trouble for Charles.
"Christina, you can't be too wicked. Leave some houses for others to buy." A clear voice came. Lucy
strode forward and suddenly patted Christina on the shoulder.
Christina was shocked to see that it was Lucy's prank. Christina had recently become familiar with Lucy
and knew that Lucy looked cold and heartless, but in fact, she was extremely childish.
Being angered by the sales manager, Christina said coldly, "I asked you to investigate Brianna, but you
just bum around all day and don't do anything."
"You can't blame me for this. I've worked so hard to go out of town, only to find that the orphanage
where Brianna had stayed was burned down. I couldn't find out anything. All the background
information about her was burned."
Lucy pretended to be mysterious and whispered in Christina's ear.
"Do you know how difficult it is to find out about her? There were also fires in both orphanages where
Brianna had stayed before she was adopted in the Hopkins family. Tsk tsk..." Lucy gave a meaningful
look.
As soon as Christina heard this, she immediately forgot the trivial matters about buying a house and fell
silent with a serious expression.
"You mean," Christina repeated, "All three orphanages where Brianna had stayed had fires?"
Lucy smiled with interest.
Brianna seemed to be more interesting than she had thought. Previously, Lucy had only thought that
Brianna was Patrick's autistic sister, and had never cared about her.
Lucy, who liked to stir up troubles, was a little excited. She dragged Christina out of the sales center
and said, "Do you think it's possible that Brianna set fire to all three orphanages?"
"Then she's really awesome." Lucy couldn't help but exclaim.
Christina saw her excitement and rolled her eyes. "Impossible. She was only a few years old then."
"You don't know. Some children are born with a lot of schemes at a young age. Have you ever seen a
film called 'The Bad Seed'?"
Christina frowned. "It's just an exaggeration in films. She's not that scary." Still, Christina didn't believe
it. "Human nature is good."
Lucy shrugged. "I'm sorry, I've always supported what Xuncius said that human nature is evil."
When people were born, they did not know anything. They didn't know what self-discipline was, what
law was, or what benevolence, justice, and morality were, so they needed to be educated.
Therefore, in Lucy's opinion, every child was a devil.
Christina laughed at Lucy's unreasonable reasoning.
Compared to Crystal, who was always apologizing to others and being polite, Lucy was real. Even if
she was shameless, she was aboveboard.
"Christina, are you leaving?" Crystal, who was behind her, saw Christina walking out and called out to
her.
Christina turned around and asked, "Hasn't Chandler arrived yet?"
Crystal looked a little embarrassed. "Maybe there's something wrong with the company. It's okay. I'll sit
here and wait for him..."
Christina was impatient and immediately cursed Chandler in her heart.
Lucy was right beside Christina and said slowly, "... You're like the back-seat driver." Crystal didn't care,
while Christina was so angry.
"I'll discuss Brianna's matter with you." Lucy simply dragged Christina on. A wicked smile flashed
across Lucy's bright eyes and she told Christina in a teasing tone, "Christina, I'll tell you a secret by the
way. Geoffrey is not Chandler's biological son..."
Christina was in astonishment, as if she was shocked by the last sentence.
Then, Christina immediately turned around and looked at Crystal with strange eyes.
Being stared at, Crystal felt a little confused. "What?"
"No-nothing." Christina felt a little guilty and said casually, "I have something to do with Lucy first... Oh,
by the way, this real estate company belongs to Charles. Remember to ask them for a big discount. If
they don't agree, then call Charles and say that's what I said!"novelbin
With that, Christina and Lucy strode away side by side.
Crystal stood still. She looked at Christina and LUCY, who were standing side by side, feeling
inexplicably disappointed.
It was as if watching her best friend gradually leave her. She couldn't keep up with Christina. She was
really inferior to Christina and Lucy.
Crystal sighed and sat back in her chair dejectedly. She glanced at the clock on the wall. Chandler
hadn't come yet.
Christina and Lucy were outside the sales center.
"You just said that Geoffrey is not Chandler's biological son?" Christina looked gossipy and lowered her
voice. "Erica had an affair..." As she spoke, Christina was a little sympathetic.
No wonder Crystal said that Chandler had his reasons. It turned out that he was in trouble.
In an instant, half of her dissatisfaction and anger with Chandler dissipated.
Lucy wanted to laugh when she saw Christina's exaggerated expression. Christina had an expressive
face no matter when she was happy or angry.
"Strictly speaking, Chandler was indeed cuckolded in his previous marriage, but he did it voluntarily
because the man was his own brother..."
"Chandler and Erica were in love when they were studying abroad. Because of their conflicting
personalities, they broke up. A year later, Erica and Mark had an official engagement. Chandler went
home to attend his brother's wedding, only to find that his ex-girlfriend had become his sister-in-law."
"When Chandler and Erica were talking by the wall, Mark happened to bump into them. The wedding
was suddenly canceled. Mark suddenly said he was going to Switzerland to climb the snow mountain,
but then fell down and died."
"Chandler and Mark's parents didn't know the truth, and they were heartbroken seeing their son pass
away. At that time, Erica happened to find out that she was pregnant with Mark's child for three months.
Mark had just passed away, so the his parents naturally wanted to keep this child. However, Erica had
the condition that she wanted Chandler to marry her."
Lucy briefly described this complicated triangular relationship. Finally, she came to the conclusion,
"Erica is a lunatic."
Christina didn't believe what she had heard and looked at Lucy in disbelief.
"Are you lying?"
Lucy was expressionless. "I have evidence. I can get you the paternity test result of Geoffrey and
Chandler."
"Why didn't Patrick tell me?" Christina looked surprised and gossipy.
"Boss probably doesn't take this to heart. There were all kinds of stories in upper class. Besides, men
don't like to talk about personal matters."
Even Charles didn't mention a word about it to Christina. He didn't want his brother to be treated as a
joke.
It was because this past was so ridiculous that even if Chandler had been married to Crystal for so
long, Charles didn't know how to tell the truth.
