Ever since the last time Hopkins family invited the Dickens family as a guest and got rejected, Senior Mr. Hopkins had been deeply concerned at heart.
The Dickens family was not happy to come, but during the new year's days, others lingered outside the gate of the Hopkins family and kept calling to wish a happy New Year.
In particular, Senior Mr. Hopkins's daughters were not easy to deal with. Patrick's aunts were united as never before. They lived with their families in the house of the Hopkins family for three days and were reluctant to leave.
"You all have nothing else to do? Are you all eating and drinking here for free?"
Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted coldly. He had always spoken without mercy to anyone, and even his daughters were no exception.
"Dad, it's the new year vacation. We four sisters finally put down our work. Fourth sister and I have been abroad for a long time. We miss you so much, so we made a special trip to come over."
The third miss of the Hopkins family looked like the deceased Mrs. Hopkins the most, so she had always been the most delicate and spoiled.
"Our house is so big, and the villas in Northern Garden and Western Garden are always empty. It will be lively only when there are more people. Fourth and I have nothing to do anyway and are planning to stay with you..."
Senior Mr. Hopkins lost his patience and shouted with a darkened face, "Don't tell me so much. After lunch, all of you go home. Don't disturb my peace. Do you hear me?"
In the spacious hall, several delicate misses of the Hopkins family looked at each other with different thoughts. Knowing their father's temper, they did not dare to speak again.
It was a big lunch. Judy and Brianna accompanied the guests to dinner. The long table was full. The Senior Mr. Hopkins was on the seat of honour, but Patrick did not appear.
When Third Miss Hopkins saw the empty seat at the dining table, she was furious, "We're all leaving. Patrick even didn't show up... Perhaps he thinks that we don't deserve to eat with him."
"It's not easy for Patrick to take care of so many businesses in the group. He's been having trouble with his wife lately, so he must be in a bad mood." Fourth Miss Hopkins tried to smooth things over, but what she said sounded a little sardonic.
Third Miss Hopkins was even angrier. "IP&G group has a huge business. If Patrick can't handle it, our family will definitely be willing to help. We are all Hopkins..."
Third Miss Hopkins married into a rich and powerful family in Australia, but later the business failed out of poor management, and she had been relying on Hopkin family's subsidies.
But after all, she was a married daughter, and she could not compare to the male grandsons of the Hopkins family. Especially now that the twin heir was born, it would be even more inconvenient for her to get in touch with the Hopkins family in the future.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was annoyed by their nagging and did not look happy.
As the eldest daughter, Laurie Hopkins was the most sensible, "Have your meal and be quiet."
The daughters of the Hopkins family were almost 50 years old, but they still felt as delicate as a princess. Laurie Hopkins was the ablest one, and the other younger sisters followed her.
Third Miss Hopkins was angry and said to her eldest sister Laurie with sarcasm, "Although I am self-willed, I know the rules and am not like some people who don't take our family rules to heart at all."
"What the hell is that Dickens family in C City? Her daughter is so delicate. She hasn't divorced yet and dares not to go back to her husband's family for the new year. She thinks she can be proud of having twins. How self-important!"
At this point, Laurie and the other sisters' expressions changed slightly. They began to sneer and gloat.
Second Miss Hopkins, who had always been calm, smiled and made a suggestion. "If Patrick really divorced that Miss Dickens, I know a good girl..."
Fourth Miss Hopkins was also a smart person. She immediately said, "My husband has a distant niece who is very beautiful. She has a good character and educational background. She and Patrick make a good couple..."
"Shut up!"
