My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 168

'If I wasn't Derek's girlfriend, he wouldn't even look at me..."

She admitted it unwillingly and helplessly.

Erica raised her eyebrows in surprise. They had known each other for many years. She knew thatBarbara was a sensible woman, so she was surprised to hear these words.

It turned out that Barbara loved him so much.

"Barbara, have you ever thought that the more you love him, the further you are pushing yourselfaway from him..."

Erica suddenly thought of her own private affairs. She pursed her lips and said seriously as ifmocking herself. "It's true that you have been accepted by Patrick's family for all these years. OldMaster Mr. Hopkins, as well as Judy, liked you. Brianna, the defensive girl, also loves to be with you.But it was all because of the fact that you are Derek's girlfriend. This means that you can never haverelationships with Patrick even though he also falls in love with you."

"Considering Patrick's personality, he would never have relationships with a woman related to hisbrother..What you did are..."

Barbara was very upset because what troubled her most was told by Erica. So she stood up from theseat and stared straight at the distance outside the window, considering something else.

"I didn’t think anything of it at the time."

When they were studying abroad, Patrick was so charming that there always had many beautifuland outgoing girls trying to get close to him.

"At least I'm better than the strangers. He cared about me at least.” Barbara murmured as ifcomforting herself. But she was also self-mocking.

"That's true. Patrick was so strange. He was not interested in those women at all.”

Erica picked up the fork on the table and had a few bits of the Spaghetti. Suddenly, she looked sadand raised her voice when reminding someone. "By the way, where's Christina? How's herrelationship with Patrick..."

Barbara looked at the beautiful twinkling light in the distance, and her expression was tightly lockeddown.

“Christina.”

She could not conceal the ruthlessness in her voice as she silently recited the name. It was not easyfor her to get what she wanted, but it was easy for that damned woman to get it. It was like sheworked hard every day but was robbed of all the credit by that woman.

"Christina..."

Christina was sitting quietly in the corner of the banquet hall of the Fishers. Suddenly, she feltsomeone staring at her from the left side. She stood up vigilantly and walked over.

The hall was brightly lit. Some guests were waltzing in the middle of the hall. There was a violinconcerto on the right side. People were talking softly and lowly. The clink of glasses and waves oflaughter were everywhere. The atmosphere was animated while was still formal.

Christina roamed among the crowds. She didn't dare to take big steps. She walked carefully with herhead down. In fact, she was not in a good mood.

She was mocked by Derek's uncle. She had always been a sharp talker, but could only remain silentin the end.

[My nephew is only an autistic fool. Indeed, he’s not good enough for you..]

[Derek is not a fool! He just doesn't like to talk. ] She got a bit carried away and contradicted himwithout thinking.

When he heard what she said, he laughed coldly and scolded with his teeth clenching. [Well, youstill like him as before and get used to help him and protect him. I can't help but wonder, are youreally loving him? Or you only treat him like a joke for having fun. Don't forget that you are theperson who hurt him the most. Don't forget what you had said to him. You threw away the jadependant for engagement in front of him, mocking that you would never marry an autistic personlike him. You also told him never to appear in front of you.]

The eyes of Christina turned red. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but remained silent.In fact, back then... She didn't mean to say that, but she was in great panic.

"I've always wanted to apologize to him..." She lowered her head and choked up in a low voice."Derek, where are you?"

She had been trying to replace him, but failed!

"Derek?"

Two tall figures suddenly appeared from the inner chamber. A shrill voice murmured these twowords and then cursed with disdain, "Someone's spoiling this festival. Don't mention that fool..."When Christina heard this familiar and harsh voice, her face darkened, and she looked straightahead.

When the two women saw Christina standing in front of them, they were stunned for a moment.Soon, Mrs. Fisher recognized her and glared at her. "It's you.”

"I know you. You're the shameless bitch who came to our house every day when we were young."The young lady of the Fishers was cruel and offensive.

Derek was an illegitimate child. However, Mrs. Fisher's offsprings were only two girls. So, the eldersin the Fishers finally agreed to accept Derek as their own blood. Anyway, Derek's biological motherdied when giving birth to him. The elders wanted Mrs. Fisher to accept him.

But there was more to it. Mrs. Fisher hated the redundant child. So she secretly scolded andpunched the handsome little boy who had just started kindergarten.

Christina used to come to comfort Derek secretly. She knew that he wouldn't talk back when beingscolded, and wouldn't fight back when being hit. He only cried when being locked in the utilityroom, being scared, and suffering from hunger. He was always being quiet, and was indifferent toeverything, even to his own life.

But Christina could not bear it!

Christina glared angrily at the mother and the daughter who had heavy makeup. "You had agreedbefore that Derek would join the Fishers. He is part of the Fishers now, and he will enjoy theinheritance of the company. It was nonsense what you were talking about..."

They had announced that it would be the eldest son-in-law who operated the companies of theFishers. The younger son-in-law would be in charge of purchasing raw materials. They enjoyed allthe stock dividends. However, they never mentioned the name of Derek, as if he never existed.

"It's none of your business. You are nobody, and are not qualified to judge us.” Miss Fisher sneered.Christina was furious. "I know everything. When the Fishers sent people to the C City and metDerek's grandfather, they agreed on the terms. As long as Derek was willing to go back to theFishers, he would have 30% of the company's shares. The older generation of the Fishers had signeddocuments..."

Mrs. Fisher was a little nervous when she mentioned that.

Miss Fisher's face darkened when she heard issues relating to her money. "30% of the shares? Keepdreaming. A bastard was vying for our family property. Urgh!"

"Besides, that fool hasn't come back for so many years. He's dead for us. That document is thereforeinvalid!"

Christina couldn't help to beat her. She shouted angrily, "Nonsense! He's alive and is doing well, andhe'll come back!"

"Whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with our the Fishers,” Mrs. Fisher, who kept quietfor a long time, looked at Christina sharply and then glanced at the crowds in the banquet. Shespoke elegantly but coldly. "You'd better leave now, no matter who brought you here.”

Christina found the bodyguards of the Fishers approaching her. They were seemed planning to gether out of the room.

Miss Fisher looked at her arrogantly and said disdainfully, "Just a woman globbing our food. You'dbetter stay out of your way and get out now!"

There were steady footsteps behind her...

"She came here with me."
