Derek and Crystal looked around anxiously for Christina.They went to the Hopkins family, but the security guards only said that she had come and gone.
“Gone?”
“When did she leave?”
Crystal rushed forward and pressed the middle-aged security guard about Christina.
But the security guard didn’t care to respond to her, and he said perfunctorily, “About twenty minutes ago.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the two documents on the counter in the security booth, raised his voice, and cursed in annoyance, “She’s making a big fuss here, and she hasn’t signed the divorce agreement yet…”
“What, divorce agreement?” Crystal asked obtusely.
As soon as she asked, Derek on the other side turned grimly and strode forward to quickly grab the security guard’s collar with his left hand and punch the guard fiercely with the other, causing him to bare his teeth in pain.
It was rather frightening in view of the bloodstained teeth.
“You! who the hell are you…”
The middle-aged guard twisted his face in pain, bent down, and coughed incessantly in agony.
Crystal saw it with her own eyes that he spat out a bloody tooth.
She looked at Derek in shock, as she realized that he was not joking when he said last night, that “Patrick was almost as injured as him”
“Everybody comes out and help! Someone’s coming to make trouble.Make haste!!”
The security guard in front of the Hopkins family’s gate shouted, anxiously grabbing his pager for help.
Derek, however, stood tall and straight outside the Hopkins family’s gate with a cold face.
Crystal met the indifferent gloom in his blue eyes, and it instantly occurred to her that Derek was by no means a pushover.
Crystal couldn’t be as unperturbed as he was.
Without a word, she grabbed his hand and ran towards the car.
“Derek, finding Christina is more urgent for us now.Let’s talk about the fight later.”
Crystal explained to him whimsically.
Fortunately, Derek was willing to cooperate, and after pushing him into the car, Crystal started the engine to speed away from the spot as if fleeing for her life with unprecedented dexterity.
As she drove, she looked nervously in the rearview mirror.
She could vaguely see a large group of people rushing out of the gate of Hopkins family, her heart thumping in fear.
Soon, the butler of the Hopkins family also appeared, and the thirty or so strong servants withdrew in an orderly manner after he ordered something she couldn’t quite detect from a distance.
Crystal breathed a sigh of relief only by then.
But she didn’t understand.
“What is the divorce agreement that the security guard had said?”
She turned to Derek in the back seat and asked, “Do you know something?”
She paused for a moment, and before he could answer, her countenance changed to be vehemently furious.
“Could it be…The Hopkins is going too far! Aren’t they bullying her with their power? Give her up when they’ve taken advantage of her…Couldn’t they see what is going on now? They’re killing her to talk about such a matter with her right now.Bastards!”
She was so angry that she couldn’t help but hurl all kinds of abuse.
No wonder Derek would hit people, damn it! Crystal got more agitated now and looked around.
Where was Christina? They went to places where Christina might go, including the IP&G Group, the old apartment where she used to live, and even the neighboring area of the Hampton family, but they couldn’t find her.
“Aunt Eisenhower, you’ve watched her grow up.Is there anywhere else she would go?”
Crystal had run short of ideas and called Betty in a hurry.
