Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 112 

When Christina arrived at the villa of the Hopkins Family, she realized that the Old Master Mr.Hopkins wasn't home.

"The Old Master is still at a hospital in Seattle."

The housekeeper explained to her briefly while telling the servants to prepare some porridge for her.

"Is Grandpa feeling uncomfortable?"

The housekeeper did not say much, "Miss, why not have some hot porridge and get rest in your bedroom? You must be a little jet-lagged"

He left as soon as he finished his sentences.

It was like he had something else to do.

Christina stood at the table.

The housekeeper had already left before she could say her question.

She had no appetite and went to her bedroom, leaving the food almost untouched.

"She remembered that the day before yesterday” Charles told her about how angry Grandpa was for the trouble the company was in this time.

He was afraid that the rage would hurt him too so he had decided to leave Patrick to deal with all the problems on his own.

After sleeping on the plane, she wasn't sleepy now.

Seattle had a pleasing temper and environment, but somehow she felt more comfortable at home.

That's right.She didn't even notice since when had she started to think of this villa of the Hopkins Family as her own home.

Curled up on the sofa in the bedroom, she turned on the TV with the remote control.

To her surprise, a press conference was broadcast live on the news channel.

The man on TV was Patrick, who held this conference to remove all the rumors about the previous car accident.

"For the first time, you met the press publicly on TV and you look like a sick cat though.'' Christina stared at the man on TV and muttered.

Patrick had his right shoulder broken so he had to fix it with a special brace.

But he seemed noble and haughty even with his brace.

He looked like exactly those guys that you would never want to interfere with and get yourself in trouble.

"It seems that Grandpa is indeed angry." She felt confused.

The old man loved Patrick the best, even though he didn't always show his caring directly on the face.

Why did he leave his injured grandson on his own to all of these troubles? "How's Grandpa doing in Seattle?"

"He was strong and healthy."

Her phone rang suddenly and she took the call.

"Christina, are you back already?"

It was Crystal.

She turned the tv down and said, "Yes, just been home for a while."

The sound of the news came vaguely through the phone.

Crystal asked hesitantly, "Are you watching Mark's press conference?"

"Yes,"

Crystal was also watching this channel at home.

She sounded worried.

"Christina, thanks to your husband, I'm going to be bored to death."

"I was invited to a group chat for the class reunion party last time.The other girls took some pictures of your husband and exchanged them on WhatsApp.They said they'd never seen a man as handsome as him so they decided to treat him as their sex god...Now that the god turned out to be the eldest grandson of the Hopkins Family, they are getting overexcited."

"They're so crazy, sending me messages for more information about him."

These crazy women are also the reason why Crystal got to know about the press conference at the first place.

"On the night when we were at the villa, the old class monitor even showed off to your husband.Hahaha, now he's very nervous and asked me about your preferences just now.It seems that he's going to give you a gift..."

Crystal chatted with her about some old classmates, but Christina was absent-minded.She kept staring at the TV...

"..Ok, I'll tell him to keep a low profile next time," she replied casually.

"Are you ok?"

Crystal noticed that her voice didn't sound right.

"The car accident...Mark was injured in his right arm, but he looked fine on TV.How about you? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

"No, I'm fine." Christina didn't lie.

She was just wondering why did Patrick announced on TV that all of this was an accident and he didn't intend to hold Cory accountable.

She knew Patrick was not such a tolerant person.

Cory was already in criminal custody for drunk driving.

It was no big deal for the Geoffrey Family.

The only thing that kept Laurie worried was that Patrick might hold Cory accountable.

Christina thought about it.

"Because they are family?"

But it really wasn't his style.

"That night, a suspicious person was found in the parking lot of the Red Villa.It was confirmed that someone did something deliberately to Cory's car.."

Patrick gave a brief speech at the press conference and left.

They went straight to the office.

After the secretary closed the door for them, Chandler began to show him some of the videos he had found.

"Also, when you were in Seattle, domestic media was clearly manipulated by someone.This newspaper confessed to us that they received a lot of money to maliciously spreading rumors about you being seriously injured in this car accident.As the we-media rapidly developed these days, it's difficult to keep things under control.Those rumors directly affect the confidence of the shareholders.'’

At first it was considered as an accident led by Christina and Cory's romantic relationship.

But now it was clear that this accident was carefully and deliberately arranged.

Its target was Patrick.

"It doesn't look like it came from a business competitor.’' Shawn put a stack of project documents back on the table.

Ever since Patrick's accident, they had stayed up for nearly two weeks, trying to figure out who planned this.

There was plenty of people in the commercial circle who envied Patrick so much, but they didn't find anyone suspicious.

The one who planned this didn't just want to attack the company.He wanted Patrick dead.

"Could it be that the other relatives of the Stephenson brothers?" Charles asked casually.

He was also a little tired, leaning back on the sofa.

Chandler looked tired too, "I have the Stephensons checked.The brothers served the prison terms well.And there was nothing strange about their mother and sister either.'’

The Preston Family couldn't plan such a car accident and spread the rumor now.

"..In addition, there weren't any impulsive fools in the Preston Family who dared to challenge Patrick now after that incident.’' Charles and the others were discussing.

Patrick listened to them quietly.

"Patrick, do you have a clue?"

Chandler saw the expression on his face as if something important had just occurred to him.

"Who would be so eager to see my cry…’' Patrick turned up the corner of his mouth and mocked himself. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Quite a long list."

He stood up suddenly and left a short command, "Tell them to start with the people they know best."

"I'll leave now."

He walked towards the door as he was saying this.

"Tired out."

Charles lay down on the sofa and complained loudly as soon as Patrick left.

"We'll do as Patrick said, starting with the people they know best.It seems that the planner is quite familiar with the personal grudge between Cory and Patrick.Maybe it's someone we all know.’'

"Patrick doesn't seem to care much, so it's probably someone unimportant.I'll go home and lie down too." Chandler rolled his eyes at him.

What Patrick cared about was at home.
