The voice on the phone was not Jennifer's, but rather a strange, urgent female voice.
"Mr. William Cavendish, something terrible has happened. Someone online is spreading rumors that Jennifer is a scheming woman who drugged you, and angry netizens have come to the door to throw eggs at Jennifer."
"Jennifer has now attempted suicide and is in the hospital."
William's face darkened, and he was immediately shrouded in gloom.
Last night, Jennifer admitted that she drugged him, and she confessed in the Cavendish Mansion hall. Who in the Cavendish family would spread this gossip?
Except Christina!
William clenched his phone tightly, gritting his teeth, "Take care of her first, I'm on my way."
With that, William moved closer to Christina.
William had just taken the call, and his expression showed a hint of urgency. The only person who could make William so anxious was Jennifer.
All of William's tenderness and concern were given to Jennifer.
But what William gave to Christina was endless cruelty and dominance.
He was even condescending.
William forcefully grabbed her chin, as if he wanted to crush her jaw, "Christina, how can you be so despicable and shameless?"
"Are you trying to drive her to death?"
Drive who to death?
Jennifer?
Besides pretending to be pitiful, acting weak, and attempting suicide at the drop of a hat, what else could Jennifer do?
"Do you have any evidence that I harmed her?"
She would never admit to something without evidence.
Moreover, she was being wronged for something she didn't do.
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" William's eyes were cold.
In both past and present lives, no matter what happened, William never believed her. She wouldn't beg William to believe her like she did in her past life.
Christina used her other free hand to grip William's wrist tightly.
William had broken her hand.
Now he wanted to crush her jaw too. Did he really think she was easy to bully?
Even though Christina felt a warm sensation between her fingers, she didn't intend to let go. She gritted her teeth, "If you don't have evidence, then you're slandering me. William, if you have the guts, show me the evidence. Otherwise, I can sue you for defamation!"
William sneered, "Do you really think I can't find evidence?"
"Christina, just you wait."
"If anything happens to her, I won't let you off."
William forcefully pushed her away.
The difference in strength between men and women almost caused Christina to be thrown to the ground by William.
Christina wasn't afraid, "If anything happens to me, I won't let you off either!"
With that, William left.
In the large, quiet room, Christina thought of her daughter Harper.
During the days when William wasn't with them, Harper was so sensible and obedient, playing hide-and-seek with her and fantasizing about every corner of the villa.
Harper had the biggest dreams.
"Mommy, Harper wants to turn the room into a fairy tale world. Can Harper draw?"
"Mommy, when Harper grows up and makes money, I'll buy you lots of delicious food and beautiful dresses. I'll also take you around the world."
"Mommy..."
"Yes."
Christina responded instinctively.
But where was Harper's figure around her? Tears instantly blurred her vision. In the end, she couldn't hold back the grief that surged in her heart.
She was hysterical.
In this life, she could never hold her sensible and obedient daughter again.
She didn't know how much time had passed when someone knocked on the door.
She quickly wiped away her tears, "Come in."
The next second, a servant led a tall, handsome man into the room, carrying a medical kit.
Christina recognized him, Joseph, William's doctor friend. In her past life, Joseph became the most outstanding chief physician in both internal and external medicine.
But.
Joseph didn't believe Harper was sick and didn't treat her.
"What are you doing here?" Christina was hostile towards him.
Joseph didn't expect to see Christina. But then again, why was Christina so hostile towards him?
Joseph smiled, "You posted a message online. Why do you think I'm here?"
Christina pursed her lips. She didn't expect that her online message would attract Joseph. But! This made Christina even more resentful.
Joseph could come to save someone because of an online order, but he couldn't save her, thinking she was lying when she took Harper to the hospital in the dead of winter.
"Go back." Christina said coldly. She considered the deposit she paid online as wasted.
Joseph was speechless.
"You placed the order, and now you're telling me to leave. Christina, what kind of madness is this?"
Wasn't this causing trouble for him?
But Joseph looked around and didn't see William, so he casually asked, "Where's William? Where is he?"
Christina didn't speak kindly to him, "Don't you have his number? If you want to find him, you can call him. William and I are not one, why are you asking me?"
Joseph fell silent.
He was also getting angry, "Christina, I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you so hostile towards me?"
He threw the medical kit in front of Christina.
When Christina tried to throw it back at him, Joseph pressed down on the kit. Joseph grabbed Christina's hand, and she instinctively struggled.
During this time, Joseph noticed that Christina's hand was the problem.
His face darkened, "Come help me hold her down."
Joseph was William's good friend, and the servants didn't dare disobey him.
Even if Christina wanted to struggle, she couldn't shake off the two of them.
Joseph was professional. He quickly set Christina's bone and then put a cast on her.
To complete the order, Joseph even took a photo of Christina's hand. He couldn't help but complain, "I don't know why you're being so difficult. We know each other, and you placed the order. You're acting like I did something to you!"
Joseph's cold observation was from the past life, but Joseph was still Joseph, and that couldn't be changed.
Christina said indifferently, "Do you need a reason to dislike someone?"
"You!"
Joseph felt like he was about to be driven mad by Christina. They hadn't had any contact before, and Christina's hostility towards him was too deep.
He thought about it and realized they hadn't had any conflicts.
Could it be, Joseph frowned, "Is Elaine Morris your friend?"
"I don't know her."
"Damn it, then why are you treating me like this?"
Joseph was furious.
But Christina gave the servant a look, "I'm going to sleep now. Please take him out. I'll continue to pay the consultation fee online."
But! She was going to give Joseph a bad review!
Meanwhile, Jennifer wasn't pretending to commit suicide, wasn't she claiming to be a talented woman?
