Chapter 169
Christina looked surprised as she looked at the fat man standing beside her.She knew him.
He was Derek's uncle.
The fat man had just taunted her shamelessly.
But now he walked towards her in a hurry.What did he mean by those weird words?
"She came in with me."
Larry spoke directly to the mother and daughter of the Fishers.
"Uncle, why did you bring such a person into our place..."
Miss Fisher of the Fishers looked scornful.
After some thought, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Christina's bulging abdomen.
Her tone became somewhat ambiguous. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Uncle, you're aged now.Are you fooling around with her...Can the child be yours?"
At this point, Mrs.Fisher, who had been quiet for a long time, looked even gloomier.
Christina frowned and said nothing.She glanced at Larry beside her, always feeling that his behavior was a little strange.
Larry was a cousin of the Fishers, and he had been relying on the relationship of the Fishers to get commissions from introducing business for the Fishers in recent years.
But recently, he seemed to have his lucky day and make a big profit from a newly invested project, and now the market share that he controlled even made the Fishers a little jealous.
Larry was 56 years old, old enough to be Christina's father, but the old man was rich, regardless of his ugly and disgusting look, there would always be some vain women flocking to him.
"Come with me..."
Larry completely ignored Miss Fisher and Mrs.
Fisher and gave Christina an order.
He turned around and left.
Christina hesitated.
Of course, she didn't come to this party with Larry, but now it felt like Larry had something else important to tell her.
"Larry, don't be too cocky.Don't forget that we the Fishers used to help you a lot!"
Seeing that he had no respect for her, Mrs.Fisher immediately became angry and roared at the fat figure.
"Sister-in-law, you don't understand my kindness."
Larry stopped in his tracks and looked back.
He had a flattering smile on his face, but it was a fake smile.
"I'm trying to get her out of here so you don't offend her.It will be even harder to solve if you don't stop..."Mrs.Fisher was startled.
Larry urged Christina in a low voice, "Hurry up, he's waiting for you."
Christina didn't understand.She wanted to ask him.
"What did you mean by that?"
Mrs.Fisher was the first to ask in her sharp voice.
Mrs.Fisher's eyes signaled the two bodyguards of the Fishers to stop them, and Christina felt some tension.
Sure enough, the next second, Mrs.Fisher was so aggressive that she yelled, "Larry, I don't know who you've been working with lately, but you'd better know that what you achieved was just because of your luck.Luck will always come to an end.We are your relatives.If you dare to secretly do something against us, don't blame me for being rude."
"What did you mean just now by "offend"? Make it clear to me!"
Mrs.Fisher had been fighting with her husband in the business field for decades, and she was so discerning that she could sense the meaning of Larry's words from the moment she heard them, especially since there had been a series of errors in several projects of the Fishers recently, which made her vigilant.
Larry didn't say anything, but the flamboyant Miss Fisher suddenly approached Mrs.Fisher.
"Mom..."
She tugged at her mother's arm nervously, Mrs.Fisher was impatient.
She had wanted to get rid of his willful eldest daughter, but when she turned her head, her expression froze.
It was him...
The two handsome men walked slowly towards them.
On the cold face of the leading man, his brows furrowed slightly and he gave a cold atmosphere, indicating that he was not very happy.
He approached them, step by step, steadily...
This time, even Larry, who wanted to speak sarcastically, was shocked.
"Christina, could you not wander around for just one day?"
The man complained to her with anger.
It was Charles who said it, but the man who put his arm around Christina's waist was the young master of the Hopkinses.
Mrs.Fisher, Miss Fisher, and Larry were all stunned, unable to respond to this.
"Patrick, Charles, long time no see."
Mrs.Fisher was cunning and she was the first to react.
She put on her usual dignified expression, gave a faint smile, and looked kindly at Patrick and Charles in front of her.
Patrick didn't treat Mrs.Fisher as coldly as the other elders.
He nodded at Mrs.Fisher.
"Auntie."
Patrick's behavior was not surprising, but Christina felt that he was very abnormal.
How could this ice cube be so polite? It was already good for him not to put on an indifferent expression, but now he was actually taking the initiative to greet her.
It was probably because Christina tried to struggle out of his hand, Patrick pressed her waist with a slight force in his hand, sending a clear warning signal.
"Auntie, Patrick's wife is quite straightforward.If she offended you just now, please don't take it seriously.' Charles glanced at Mrs.
Fisher and specially mentioned this in a plain tone.
The burning eyes immediately fell on Christina.
"How could this shameless little bitch be..."
Miss Fisher was used to insulting Christina.
When she said this out of shock, Patrick looked at her coldly.
She felt a chillon her back and dared not continue.
She was the woman who was pregnant and married into the Hopkinses...
The Fisher Family lady looked incredulous.
How could this wild girl, who often frequented the Fishers looking like a dirty little beggar when she was a child, had become the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkinses? At the same time, a sense of panic surged in her heart.
She scolded her just now.
In fact, as early as a few years ago, the business of the Fishers was gradually declining.
If it wasn't for the support of the Hopkinses of A City, there wouldn't be the Fisher Family today, so they were in awe of the Hopkinses.
What was behind the fake smile on Mrs.
Fisher's face was a mix of complicated emotions.
She reached out and pinched her eldest daughter's arm.
Miss Fisher endured the pain and immediately understood, she said with a fake smile on her face that she usually put on in the workplace.
"At first, I wondered whose wife had got lost.It turned out that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkinses, the young Mrs.Hopkins, I just said those words to outsiders.Don't take it to heart.the Fishers and the Hopkinses have a good relationship..." She laughed to hide the awkward atmosphere.
But Christina looked at the disgusting smile of the woman.
She turned her head and ignored her without any response.
Christina didn't respond, which made the tow of the Fishers even more awkward.
This the Hopkinses's granddaughter-in-law was too disrespectful.
Mrs.Fisher was so angry in her heart, but she did not dare to say anything.
Hopkins Family had strict family rules, but Patrick actually allowed his woman to be so rude.
The atmosphere was a little strange, but Patrick did not care at all.
He lowered his eyes, looked up and down at the woman next to him, found that she did not get hurt, and asked her in a soothing voice, "What are you looking for?"
Patrick knew her very well and could know what she was up to, unlike Charles, who was so angry and scolded her for running around.
Christina raised her head and looked at the man much taller than her.
"Actually, I came to the Fishers for..."
She mumbled.She came to the Fishers for Derek.She wasn't sure about Patrick's relationship with Derek...
"Mr.Hopkins, I've heard a lot about you."
Larry's voice was hoarse and high-pitched, and his sudden utterance attracted everyone's attention.
Larry's words were ambiguous in meaning.
"Thank the Hopkinses so much for taking care of we the Fishers in these years..."
"Larry, tell me what you want.'’ Charles didn't even bother to call him uncle, and his face darkened as he interrupted with this strange words.
The last time Larry talked about cooperation with IP&G Group, he was so bold as to force Barbara and the others to drink more than they could, which was obviously provoking them.
"Mr.Shepherd also inherited your old man's quick-witted style.You guys are really young and promising.You both have bright futures."
Larry was complimenting them, but there was no expression on his face.
Patrick also turned to Larry.
He had noticed the middle-aged man as soon as he came over, but he didn't take Larry seriously because he didn't need to.
He tightened his around Christina's waist unconsciously for some reason, and there was some other implication in the expression of Larry.
Larry and Patrick looked at each other, his face contorted with a forced smile.
"Actually, there's nothing to say.We all know that the so-called good gesture of the Hopkinses is only because someone felt guilty and gave some money to us for compensation."
