Chapter 170
Chapter 170
[ Mr.Hopkins, your mate has been in a vegetative state for the last six years, but you married the woman he loved.You should die in your boots! ]
Christina's face turned pale as she couldn't understand what Larry just said.But that he wanted Patrick to die made her nervous.It sounded like a curse.
For a while, people standing in the inner room of the Fishers looked terrible.
Patrick did not speak.
He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Larry in front of him fiercely.
Perhaps because he was still a little afraid, Larry said no more words and left in a huff.
"Stop, Larry!"
Charles shouted at him in a cold voice, as he didn't want to let him off like this.He definitely crossed the line for insulting Patrick in public.
The bodyguards on both sides looked nervously at Mrs.Fisher at the same time.Should they stop Larry? Mrs.Fisher and other family members were panicked, with their lips pursed.
Hence, as there was no instruction, the bodyguards did not dare to act at will.
Though it was at the Fishers's place, no one dared to offend Patrick.
As long as there were things related to the Hopkinses, it was always wise to keep a distance.
Charles's face was darkened with anger as he watched the fat figure disappear at the banquet.
He could not help but curse, "After getting lucky in these few months, how dare he to be so uncaring."
Was Larry out of his mind or was someone really there to support him? The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and grim.
The people there were at a loss: the bodyguards straightened their backs, while Mrs.
Fisher could no longer keep that fake smile.
But as the violin concerto started playing, though she wanted to leave the room, she felt it impolite to do that.
It was such a dilemma.
Damn it, Larry! He not only offended Patrick, but almost implicated their the Fishers! Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Larry's business has nothing to do with us.He may just run into some luck.His investment projects have been in full swing recently.Maybe he's just doing some shameful and immoral things."
With a fawning smile, Miss Fisher tried hard to belittle Larry, her uncle, to relieve the tension...
"You don't have to be angry, this kind of people will have his retribution sooner or later"' Retribution.
This words totally meant something else right now.
"Patrick...You should die in your boots.” Under this context, Larry's words now meant that Patrick deserved to be punished.
Mrs.Fisher felt her daughter was too mindless.She immediately glared at her daughter and told her to shut up to avoid getting into trouble.
Patrick remained silent, hence, the atmosphere became even grimmer.
Christina felt the hand on her waist put more pressure, and made her uncomfortable.
It was a rare thing to see Patrick was insulted to his face.
Besides his grandfather, who else dared to treat him like that.
But she knew that Patrick was not the kind of person who would get angry if being insulted.
He would feel it unworthy to get mad.He didn't take others seriously.How could he mind what they said? But now he was holding her so tightly.He seemed to really care.
"Hey, Charles, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to look for the baby with Chandler?" Christina's voice broke the ice.
Her tone was so natural as if she didn't go through what had just happened, and just changed the subject without any clue.
"Has Chandler found his son?" Charles was stunned to hear that.
He glanced around and answered, "Yes, Geoffrey is playing at the theme park.Chandler is accompanying his son now” Christina raised her eyebrows and naturally tugged at the Patrick's arm.
"Didn't you say you'd bring that little boy over to introduce us?"
Charles could not answer as Christina was asking Patrick.
Mrs.Fisher and her daughter's expression was unnatural.
They couldn't help but look at the talking people, but they didn't dare to look at them directly.
"I don't like the food here.Ask Chandler to take the child out to dinner with us."
"Geoffrey has been brought back to the Stephenson Family.She will you next time"
It took a long time for the man next to her to speak in that deep voice.
He did say that to help Christina with the cultivation of motherhood, he would let her get in touch with the child in advance.
"Then, can I go? I don't like here.I want to go out and find Crystal for dinner.lf you two are busy, send someone to give me aride there." Christina took the chance to bargain with her husband.
Patrick was thinking about Larry just now, but when he heard her, he lowered his eyes and glared at her.
"How can any bodyguard keep an eye on you?"
His deep voice was a little stuffy.
There's no chance for him to let her go! Christina's face was grim.
Why she became his target? She didn't have to break the ice anymore, as her husband dragged her out directly with large strides.
Charles took a step and left, too.
Looking at Christina's upset face, he raised his lips heartlessly and smiled.
But anyway, Christina did make a difference, especially facing off difficult problems.
Charles and Chandler would first think of her to help them.
Mrs.Fisher was secretly relieved to see Patrick and the others leave on their own.
Some people were really not that easy to serve.You have to treat their every sentence and action carefully.
Thinking of it in this way, Mrs.Fisher hated Larry even more.
"Mom, what's going on with Larry? I think he's in high spirits, but he's definitely too arrogant.How dare he curse Patrick..."
Although Miss Fisher was proud, she knew the importance of things.
And...her eyes followed Patrick until he disappeared.
Biting her lips, her voice was very angry.
"How did Derek's silly little girlfriend marry Patrick? She must have played some trick to have sex with Patrick in a shameless way” She was really angry and jealous to see how Patrick treated Christina.
Mrs.Fisher also couldn't understand.In their eyes, Christina was just a rude girl who used to be in the Fishers' house all day.
They just know she was Derek's playmate and showed no interest in knowing who she actually was.They were surprised to see such an autistic child like Derek actually had a female playmate.They always ridiculed Derek for he couldn't marry some debutante but could only play with a rude girl.
Now, that rude girl had become Patrick's wife.
"Be smart.Don't make trouble for Christina" Mrs.Fisher warned her daughter in a cold voice and left to tidy up her makeup.
She walked towards the banquet hall, still with the usual dignified and calm demeanor as a lady.She had been in this business world for decades, while her husband was weak.She was said to be the one
who fought for the Fishers.She had a sharp eye and always thought more than others.
Only those short-sighted women could think like her daughter and say something for jealousy.
In fact, few ordinary women dare to marry Patrick, the eldest grandson of his family.
It was a joke to marry Patrick only by being pregnant.
When did he ever pay attention to such a small trick? Anyone who dared to irritate him would come to no good end.
Unless Patrick was happy about that.
Thinking of this, Mrs.Fisher's face became serious, with Larry's curse echoing in her ears.
Considering it for a while, she could not help but mutter anxiously.
"Patrick went to great lengths to marry Derek's little girlfriend.What kind of tricks do these young people want to play?"
Over the years, Patrick had given the Fishers privileged support and even spoke politely to them all because of Derek.But now...Mrs.Fisher looked at the lively birthday banquet.
She suddenly had a bad feeling that someone was secretly battling for something.
If the consequence affected the Fishers, it would change everything.
