Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 19

Reporters swarmed outside the house of the Dickens Family, all of whom were agitated and stretched out to hand microphones to Donald to ask questions.

"Mr.Dickens, it is known that the heroine in the popular video online is Christina, your biological daughter.’’

 "Miss Dickens jumped into the river to save her ex-husband, Cory.Is she doing this because she was abandoned and is now dying to win Cory's heart back?"

"Mr.Dickens! Mr.Dickens, I just got the latest news from the hospital that your daughter Christina disappeared for no reason.What is your opinion on this matter?..."

Donald was annoyed by these aggressive questions.

His face clouded over and he coldly spoke into the microphone, "Christina is not my daughter!"

"She's my wife!" Patrick strode out of the car.

His low, cold voice made the reporters in front of him turn their heads abruptly...

Patrick stepped forward and stood in the spotlight, staring at the cameras and looking around coldly.

Charles then got out of the car, who was very surprised.

Patrick kept a very low profile and had always been very dismissive of media interviews.

However, when Patrick now stood in front of the camera, he had a haughty manner.

The reporters looked at Patrick, who suddenly appeared, with a puzzled expression.

They did not know him, but judging from his temperament, they thought that he must be born with a silver spoon.

One of the reporters handed Patrick the microphone and asked timidly, "Excuse me, sir, since you said you are Miss Dickens's current husband, what do you think of Miss Dickens jumping into the river at her own risk to save her ex- husband?"

Instead of answering the reporter, he stretched out his long arm to grab the microphone.

He stared at the camera with a sinister look.

He was like an angry beast, full of rage and fury.

He clenched the microphone in his hand, "Whoever kidnapped her, bring her back intact within two hours! Or I'll have you all buried with her.’’ 

His words stunned everyone present.

Most of the interviews were life, so his menacing warning was spread everywhere almost at the same time...

"Did Miss Dickens really get kidnapped?!"

Someone screamed excitedly.

However, the reporters present were also very confused.

It was common for rich people to be kidnapped, but no one dared to give a warning like this in front of the camera, for fear that kidnappers would be enraged and kill the hostage.

Some people did not even dare to call the police.

Someone asked hesitantly, "Who are you, sir?"

Cory seemed very angry.

He rushed forward and grabbed Patrick by the collar, "Are you crazy?"

"Before we find out who kidnapped her, we can't make it widely known.Those kidnappers will kill her!"

Patrick hated being approached and he pushed Cory away.

When Charles saw that Patrick was about to start a fight, he immediately ran over to stop them.

Charles faced the camera with a relatively calm look.

"I would like to make a statement here about the kidnapping of Christina," said Charles, who was in constant contact with the media and had excellent social skills.

He said calmly, "No matter what your intentions are or whether you are being taken advantage of, you'd better not touch her.Christina is the granddaughter-in-law of the Hopkins Family.If you send her back intact, we will consider not investigating and affixing the responsibility for the incident.Otherwise..."

He did not continue.

Everyone knew the consequences of going against the Hopkins Family.

Shock and disbelief were on the faces of the reporters.

Of course, they knew Charles, but the one beside him...

He was Patrick, the grandson of the Hopkins Family, who had just returned home.

At this moment, a bodyguard rushed over to report to Patrick, "Young master, there is no Madam in the cemetery.”

 Patrick seemed impatient.He walked to the left.

The reporters seemed afraid of him and immediately got out of his way.

No one dared to say anything.

Looking straight at his cold face, they inexplicably became nervous.

Patrick approached Donald, the middle-aged man, and surveyed him.

Donald was stared at Patrick.

Although Patrick was his junior, he was still a little afraid of Patrick.Donald did not know how did his stubborn daughter hook up with him.

"Send your men to look for her!" Patrick looked at Donald with cold eyes.

Patrick showed Donald no respect and spoke to Donald in an almost commanding tone.

"Send your men to look for her.If you can't find her, we don't have to be in-laws!"

Patrick's last words were clearly a warning.

If the Hopkins Family and the Dickens Family couldn't be in- laws, then they would become enemies.

No one would be that stupid to annoy the Hopkins Family.

In C City, the Dickens Family had more local connections and was more familiar with locations.

Donald was pretty upset.

He could not refuse Patrick, who was as ruthless as the story had it, leaving no leeway for the other party.

"Mr.Hopkins, we're a family.Please come in first."

Mrs.Dickens walked out of the house and said to Patrick with a fawning smile on her face.

Patrick glanced at Mrs.Dickens.

He didn't even bother to show respect to his own grandfather, let alone a strange old woman.

However, when Patrick glanced over the living room of the Dickens Family, he noticed that Carrie and Connie were both in the house.

Carrie was frightened.

Her hand was shaking as she held the phone as if she was afraid of something.

Patrick looked at the two women with a thoughtful expression and said to the bodyguard beside him, "Tell the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that I want anonymous information today..."

As soon as he said these, there was a loud bang.

Carrie looked startled and dropped her phone on the floor.

Patrick turned his head and looked at her with a fierce look.

His sharp eyes made Carrie's legs weak...

"Mr.Hopkins, I got something!"

The two bodyguards ran over anxiously and whispered in Patrick's ear.

Patrick was shocked, ignored Carrie, and left immediately.

When Carrie saw Patrick leaving in a hurry, her face became even paler.

She grabbed Connie’s arm and asked for help, "What should I do, sis? What should I do? If he finds out, I will die..."

Connie ignored Carrie.

She was also nervous.She didn't expect that Patrick would care for Christina so much.

This was the first time she had seen Patrick.

She shouldn't have...provoked a man like him.

"Cory! When Carrie saw Cory, she shouted at him.Her voice was squeaky with panic because she was so nervous.

Cory looked back at her and said, "Something happened to Christina.She jumped into the river to save me...I can't let anything happen to her..."

He hesitated for a moment and turned to follow Patrick.

"Cory, don't go!" Carrie cried out almost in despair.

"Carrie, are you crazy? You can't let Cory know about this!" Connie dragged her into the room and yelled at her.

"But, sis, I really don't know what to do," Carrie panicked at the thought of Patrick's eyes.

Connie made up her mind to speak coldly, "Tell those people to kill her!"

"What?"

"Kill Christina.Or when he finds out we did it, we're dead." Connie yelled at Carrie.

Patrick was not an ordinary man, who would not be seduced by women.

If he found out...

Feeling guilty and uneasy, Carrie dialed a number, trembling.

As soon as her call was answered, before she could say anything, the other party cursed angrily, "Carrie, you want us dead, you b*tch? I'm not done with you!"

Carrie was even more uneasy when she heard his yell.

She quickly said, "Joe, I have already transferred the money to your card."

"Carrie, you f*cking b*tch, how you dare to talk to me about money? If I had known it, I wouldn't have done this stupid thing even if you gave me ten million!"

The man on the other end of the phone was cursing angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that Christina was Hopkins Family's granddaughter-in-law? Do you know that Patrick is famous in the mafia? Even when my boss cooperates with him, he has to suck up to Patrick.Now..."

"Now that we have kidnapped his wife, let alone the Hopkins Family, even if my boss knows it, we are f*cked up!"

When Carrie heard this, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled, "What should we do now? Joe, I'll give you more money.Kill Christina now.I'll give you money to go abroad..."

"Carrie, is there something wrong with you? You want me to kill her.."

The man over the phone cursed, "We saw Patrick's live telecast just now.

Only if Christina is alive can we not be killed!"

"I have had one of my men send the address to the hospital and indirectly tell Patrick to go find her.Carrie, since we've had sex a few times, I can be honest with you.I just hope Christina is okay now so that at least I can get out of the country and not get killed."

In the middle of Joe's words, the door burst open.

One of his men rushed in, looking flustered, "Boss, she, she ran away..."

"What?!" Joe's eyes widened in shock, "Who ran away?"

"I-It's Christina.She's not in the hovel.She took the opportunity to run away.She ran away…” The man said incoherently.

"Hurry up and get her back.Patrick will be here to pick her up!"

In all his years in the mafia, Joe had never been so nervous.

"We've already looked for her.All we know is that she has gone to the village in the west.There was a heavy rainstorm and a mudslide a few days ago.She may be buried by a landslide at any time.." Christina was weak.

So if she encountered a landslide, she would die.

Joe was stunned for a minute and immediately telephoned to book the ticket for the latest international flight, "Hurry up.Pack your things.Pack all the valuable things.Let's go."

Patrick immediately drove to a remote suburb of C City after receiving the address.

By the time they arrived, the building was empty.

"Look around..."

Patrick wore a fierce look as he stepped into this dilapidated tiled room.

He looked around and saw that the doors and windows were locked...

He also noticed the moldy corner of the wall...He quickly ran over, staring at the corner of the wall...

There was a pool of dark red blood mixed with dirty sand and stones.

Blood was everywhere on the walls, floors, and broken wooden chairs.The scene here was horrifying…
