Chapter 1346
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
Christine stood there with a sullen face, and her carefully maintained nails pricked into her palms.
Christine thought, âHanna is such an ordinary woman. How could Lorin fall in love with her?! He loved me at that time! But why does Hanna always hinder me? Just like many years ago when I was in high school, I joined a comic competition, but Hanna won first place and I got second place. I donât want the second place!â
If it was not the first place, then-Christine would rather not get it. So she withdrew her manuscript and stopped drawing comics.
For Christine, drawing comics was just a temporary interest and she didnât regard it as her future career.
But later, in college, Christine met Hanna. She was still drawing comics and even publishing them.
Every time Christine saw her classmates praising Hannaâs painting skills, she felt embarrassed. So she wanted to make trouble for Hanna and destroy her.
And what happened later was indeed as Christine expected. Hanna became a person hated by everyone in school. Then Christine had no interest in Hanna anymore and stopped paying attention to her.
But Christine didnât expect that Hanna not only became a cartoonist and had a comic adaptation but also was protected by Lorin.
Christine thought, âSince I could trample Hanna back then, I can do it again now!â
âLorin, you will regret it!â Christine murmured coldly.
After Shelly learned that Christine had sponsored the drama, she directly cursed. Then she looked at Hanna worriedly. âHanna, youâ¦â
But Hanna smiled and said, âShe is just one of the sponsors. What can she do to me? Can she tell the director and the producer not to add my name in the opening of the drama or ask to work on another comic adaptation?â
âYouâre right,â Shelly murmured. âBut Christine is vicious. Who knows what sheâll do to you? Sheâs really a psychopath!â
âIndeed. Sheâs really a psychopath,â Hanna nodded and agreed. âAnyway, just roll with the punches.
Now that she has come to us, letâs just face her. Weâre different from when we were in college.â
âYeah, letâs see what she can do!â said Shelly.
The next day, when Hanna went to the set, she met Christine again. Hanna stopped and looked at her alertly.
Christine stepped forward with a smile. âHanna, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. I sponsored this drama for nothing else but Lorin. You know that Lorin liked me when we were in college.
But then he became an exchange student and we broke up. Since he was optimistic about this drama and wanted to invest in it, I also wanted to help him.â
âItâs your and his business. You donât have to tell me about that,â Hanna said coldly.
âWhy not? I remember that you were also quite into Lorin back then. But you couldnât get him back then, and now you still canât. I just donât want you to be hurt,â Christine said like a winner, waiting to appreciate Hannaâs embarrassed and unwilling expression.
But Hanna just said calmly, âYou really donât have to tell me that. I already have a boyfriend. Be free to get him if you want Lorin. I have no feelings for him at all.â
Christineâs expression stiffened. âYou have a boyfriend?â
Hanna snorted and said, âMs. Herst, you donât think Iâm still into Lorin after so many years, do you?â
Christineâs gorgeous face was slightly distorted. She planned to embarrass Hanna, but now she was the one who was embarrassed.
At this moment, Lorin suddenly rushed over. When he saw the two of them, he directly ran forward and said, âChristine, what do you want to do to Hanna? Iâve told you not to lay hands on her!â
Christine said, âI just said hello to Hanna. What are you afraid of? By the way, Hanna also told me that she already had a boyfriend. Lorin, youâve wasted your time.â
Lorinâs expression changed slightly. âI know she has a boyfriend, so what?â
Christine was slightly surprised.
Hanna didnât bother wasting time on them and directly walked past them.
Lorin wanted to say something more to Hanna, but he also knew that it was inconvenient since Christine was here now, so he could only watch Hanna leave reluctantly.
Christine saw the reluctance in Lorinâs eyes clearly, which also made her feel jealous and unwilling.
Christine thought, âWhy does the man who loved me back then love Hanna now? I canât even defeat Hanna? Which part of her is better than me except for the skills of drawing comics?! But whatâs the use of being good at drawing comics? She canât make much money by that at all! Such an orphan is not qualified to compete with me!â
âLorin, I thought Hanna still loved you a lot. But I didnât expect⦠Hahaâ¦â Christine laughed mockingly.
âIt turns out that she already has a boyfriend. She seems to not take you seriously at all. But youâve even fallen for her. So ridiculous!â
âShut up!â Lorin roared. His black eyes looked fierce, and he was like an angry beast that would pounce on someone and tear that person into pieces at any time.
Christine was startled by the fierceness in Lorinâs eyes. He looked at her as if he was looking at an enemy instead of looking at his beloved like before.
âEven if Iâm ridiculous, so what? I was already ridiculous when I joined hands with you back then!
Christine, listen carefully. If you dare to lay hands on Hanna, I will definitely make you suffer!â Lorin threatened Christine.
Christine slightly shivered. Lorinâs expression and tone were telling her that he really meant it. âDoâ¦
Do you love Hanna that much?â
Lorin was silent.
Lorin thought, âLove? Maybe. But I donât know how much I love her. The only thing I know is that I donât want to make the same mistake as before and let this innocent woman get hurt again.â
Christine slightly bit her red lip, suddenly stepped forward, and hugged Lorin. âLorin, the one you love is me. You just feel pity for Hanna. You were willing to do anything for me at that time. How could such love disappear easily? Iâm by your side now. As long as you wantâ¦â
