Chapter 190
“You’re a cripple, am I wrong? It’s one’s worst luck to marry you.” Cristina took it out for Theresa harshly. Charlie’s
face clouded over. He clutched the armrests so forcefully that his knuckles turned white. That was how the
outsiders saw him. No wonder Theresa didn’t like him either. Her words poked a sore spot. “Ms. Lagarde, you’re
really a talker.” No one had ever dared to scold him like that. She was the first one. Cristina scoffed, “Harsh? I’m

Rose had tried to stop Theresa but failed. She thought about it and came along to hear what they were talking
about. It would be even better if Theresa heard their nice talk. Unexpectedly, from the door, she heard Cristina
calling Charlie a loser.
“Cristina!” Theresa called out. She hadn’t expected Cristina to be so blunt.
Cristina called Charlie over just to scold him? This was crazy. She didn’t want her job anymore? Theresa was
aware of Charlie’s power. It was too easy for him to deal with a corporate slave like Cristina.
Cristina looked up and saw Theresa coming over with Rose. Since she had vented her anger, she got up and
said, “Mr. Calsis, it’s time for me to go.”
She then swaggered away. Rose had hoped to see Cristina and Charlie develop a relationship, but Cristina’s
words frustrated her. She had put in so many good words for Cristina at home.
“Uncle Charlie, those were just her angry words. Don’t take it to heart. I don’t think she meant it.”
Cristina must have lost her mind. She was insane to talk to Charlie like that. She didn’t have to make things so
ugly even if Charlie refused to marry her. Now even the two children couldn’t save her.

Rose was scared away. Only Theresa and Charlie were left in the pavilion. He looked away at the garden. It was
embarrassing that she heard it when he was scolded. Theresa took a deep breath, worried about Cristina’s future.
“Charlie, are you okay?” She went over and asked with concern. He might be thinking about how to get back at
Cristina at the moment. Cristina was crazy to do that.
“Not your concern,” Charlie snorted, “That woman talked nonsense because she has no chance of marrying me.”
He then looked at Theresa with an injured expression in his eyes. “Maybe you think of me the same way. I’m a
cripple, aren’t I? You’re unlucky to marry me, right?”
