My billionaire husband spoils me too much

Chapter 815

It was a sleepless night. Many people were descending into chaos.

Patrick had never been so angry before. The group of think tanks who accompanied him here was in a

panic.

"Linda, didn't you stay with Christina all the time? Why is she having upset stomachs, yet you're fine?"

"Linda, you've been acting dissatisfied with her before. Did you do it on purpose?"

These elites who made millions per year huddled in the corner of the corridor, not daring to sleep in the

middle of the night. They uttered their speculations, and some even blamed Linda for it.

Her eyes were red from crying. She raised her head and retorted angrily, "I didn't hurt her. Don't frame

me on this!"

"I've been working in IP&G Group for so many years, and I've accompanied Mr. Hopkins on countless

business trips. But I've never seen him so furious... Linda, I've taught you before not to stay a lofty tone

and be flamboyant. Otherwise, you're the one who loses in the end. When you get back, suggest a

demotion yourself."

The rest seconded, "Right!"

"Mr. Hopkins was so scary just now. He had never lost his composure and flew into a rage at us like

today."

Linda was at a loss and explained in a hurry, "I really didn't hurt her!"

Someone sighed and tried to smooth things over. "I think Linda is innocent. She won't do such a thing."

Another European regional president rationally analyzed, "Linda is not so stupid."

"Could it be the 'little game' tempted by the jealousy of you women?"

Women always fought for a man's favor. Since Christina could become Patrick's wife, she must not

easy to deal with. "Linda, did you offend her?" Just then, a man asked.

After hearing that, everyone immediately felt that Christina was pretending to be sick.

Linda's red eyes widened and she stopped crying. Right now, she was in a huff.

The next second, she turned around angrily and walked towards Christina's ward. Just then, Patrick

opened the door and walked out.

"Mr. Hopkins, I need to clarify one thing to you."

The staff in the company had a sense of respect for him, and they were also very clear about his

character. He had a clear distinction between public and private affairs, so she raised her head

fearlessly and said righteously.

"I went out with Junior Mrs. Hopkins and we ate the same thing. There was nothing wrong with my

body. She shouldn't have fallen ill."

She was implying that Christina was pretending to be sick.

He stood still right there. The hospital's incandescent lights in the middle of the night shone on his tall

straight figure, washing over his features. His cold eyes made him look even more unapproachable.

The other managers immediately trotted over, admiring her courage.

After Patrick heard that, without saying anything, he motioned for her to continue.

At this time, she didn't dare to look straight at him. She tilted her head slightly. "Mr. Hopkins, I admit

that I deliberately made things difficult for Junior Mrs. Hopkins. She wanted to buy 12 bags from Louis

Vuitton. I lied to her about the credit card limit and embarrassed her. It was my fault." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She then bowed deeply to apologize.

"Actually, before that, I accompanied her to the Champs Elysees. She had already bought a lot of

products at Hermes, Versace, Patek Philippe, Cartire, including 5 bags, 8 watches, scarves, ties,

diamonds... At that time, she had already spent more than 2000 million euros, so I felt that she really

didn't have to buy the 12 bags of the same style. I took the liberty of stopping her squandering. It was

my fault."

After that, she bowed again and apologized, lowering her head. Despite her humble attitude, she was

very careful and logical and implicated that Christina was a parasite.

That meant that Christina might pretend to be sick to punish her.

Linda didn't want to be blamed.

"Mr. Hopkins, if she feels that it's me that makes her embarrassed and angry, please let me go in and

apologize to her personally..."

She looked sincere as she said that.

Yet after hearing this, Patrick felt that his fury compounded.

The HR director at the side immediately noticed something was off with the atmosphere between them.

He then took a step forward, pulled her behind him, and said quickly.

"Mr. Hopkins, Linda is not qualified to be your chief secretary. It was my fault for giving her a promotion

that was beyond her ability. I volunteered to reduce my salary and downgrade my post. Now Junior

Mrs. Hopkins's health is the most important thing, you should also pay attention to your health."

The normally arrogant director was sweating nervously.

But Linda didn't understand. If Patrick found out that Christina was pretending to be sick, he would

definitely not blame her. She wanted to explain again, but the people behind her tightly grabbed her

wrist, signaling that she must not provoke Patrick further.

Patrick stood with his back straightened. With a cold face, he said in an acerbic tone. "Why would my

wife be sick or if she's pretending to be sick? I'll find out myself. As for what you said about shopping,

she has never mentioned it to me."

Everyone lowered their heads and listened quietly, jittery.

Christina didn't complain to him?

Shocked, Linda looked at him in disbelief.

Patrick then turned around and left the hospital in anger. No one was allowed to enter Christina's ward.

It was almost conceivable that after this business trip, the rest would definitely be punished because of

this matter.

The project manager was furious. "Linda, you're really stupid. Do you think Mr. Hopkins will feel pity

about the money that his wife spent?"

"Yes, Linda. I really don't understand how you got to be the chief secretary."

Some gloated.

"Even if Junior Mrs. Hopkins tattled on you to him and deliberately framed you, don't you know how to

solve this kind of things after working so long here? When the boss let you take the blame, you just

take it. If you're obedient, you might even be promoted later. After all, Mr. Hopkins knows everything.

But... you thought you could deface Christina like that, yet Christina didn't mention it to him at all. You

have to pay for your stupidness now.."

Linda's eyes turned red in tear again, and she sobbed aggrievedly. "Then... what should I do now..."

She also realized that she was being silly.

The HR director, who had been supporting her, scolded angrily, "Go back to the hotel immediately.

Don't show up for the last few days. Don't let Mr. Hopkins you. Once he's in a bad mood, we all will

have a hard time!"

In work, things had always been so realistic and cruel.

Linda did not dare to refute, lowering her head. Now she fully understood the difference in treatment

between her and Christina.

Ever since she had just been promoted to the chief secretary, she thought she could be superior to

others, but compared to the people in the upper class, she was nothing. All the time, she was being

stupid and naive.

At the same time, Christina in the ward also felt the hostile atmosphere outside.

Fortunately, she was a patient now.

Patrick would hold back his anger for the time being.

In fact, she was not seriously ill. The doctor said that she was suffering from food poisoning, because

she had eaten some poisonous mushrooms that could create hallucinations. But this kind of poisonous

mushrooms wouldn't cause much harm to her body. However, he requested her to have the gastric

lavage to ensure that there was no residual poison inside her.

Having always been very physically strong, apart from her pale face, she didn't feel uncomforable.

"Madam, the people in the restaurant called and said they wanted to apologize to you personally. Do

you want to answer the phone?" A nurse asked her carefully with a cell phone in her hand.

Just as she was about to answer the phone, he came back. He looked at the newly hired nurse with

rage. He thought that hiring a nurse from the same country as them would be better and more

convenient. Yet he had underestimated the greed in human nature.

"Get out now! Get out!" Her behavior had picked up on his irritation.

The nurse was bought off by the restaurant and deliberately acted as a middleman to make Christina

accept an apology. Unexpectedly, she was caught on the spot.

That local restaurant had been developing well for many years. But due to the internal strife between

the employees, they had completely ruined their reputation and even led to the poisonous mushroom

incident. In the end, they poisoned the wrong person, who had a strong background. Right now, the

restaurant was in a mess, trying to get Christina's forgiveness.

Such a famous chain restaurant could be delisted from the market by Patrick swiftly, not to mention her,

an ordinary people, who came to France to work.

Seeing his imposing aura, the nurse was so scared that she immediately scrambled out of the ward.

Christina was also startled.

"Why are you so angry?"

Then she muttered to him fearlessly, "Patrick, you can't be too unreasonable. And you just yelled at

your staff."

Glaring at her with a gloomy face, he fumed, "Do you remember what you did last night?" He gritted his

teeth.

She tucked herself in the quilt nervously and wrapped herself tightly with it.

And then she looked at him carefully and kept thinking, "I was very delighted to meet my friend again.

You insisted on calling me back to have dinner with you. But I wasn't hungry and only drank half a glass

of red wine... As for what happened later, I don't remember. I didn't do anything wrong." Her voice

became lower, under his frightening gaze.

Why was he so angry?

Her words just added fuel to his anger. "You can't remember? Very well!" Gritting his teeth, he shouted,

"Then you can stay here forever. Don't come back until you remember!"

"Ah? Wait, I don't want to stay in the hospital..." She quickly pleaded.

With darkened face, he slammed the door.

"Except for the medical staff, no one else is allowed to enter this ward, nor phone call, especially from

the people in the restaurant! Do you hear me?" This was his last warning.

"Yes, copy that."

His staff outside the door answered in a trembling voice.

In the next few days, Christina was grounded in the hospital ward, which made her disgruntled. She

came to France to travel. Why was she trapped in the ward? She was not sick.

The most important thing was that Patrick was still mad at her, but she didn't know what he was angry

about.

"Is him menopausal?"

She cursed him in her heart.

During this period of time, she tried to contact May a few times, but there was no reply. It seemed that

May was really busy.

In fact, Christina didn't many female friends. She was not diplomatic enough. Perhaps May, who used

to be her high school roommate, did not treat her as a friend. Thinking of this, she felt a little

depressed.

However, she didn't know that May was now in hot water.
