Last night, Christina left a Ferrari sports car on the side of the road and forgot to take the car keys. She probably got a lot of tickets for parking the car on the side of the road.
Early in the morning, the driver of the Hopkins family went to drive it back.
The open-top luxury sports car's chairs and steering wheel were covered by trash maliciously thrown by some people. Fortunately, although the car keys were in the car, the system was locked. And those hooligans could not drive it away.
"How much is that car worth? It's a real spendthrift. Millions of dollars worth of a car left on the side of the road and even with the car key on. Money is a small matter. People would assume the Hopkins family is vulgar nouveau riche..."
Ms. Hopkins heard the gossip from the servants and seized the opportunity. She passed by the Eastern Garden path on purpose. She happened to bump into Christina, who was coming from the opposite direction. She immediately became excited.
Christina had gotten up and was on her way to accompany the Senior Mr. Hopkins to breakfast at the main house. She had to go to Derek's apartment to check on him.
Christina didn't want to talk to Ms. Hopkins at all. She was still thinking about Derek's illness last night. And she left the sports car on the side of the road because Patrick forbade her to drive back alone. She was not worried about being accused at all.
Seeing that she ignored her, Ms. Hopkins's expression became even uglier. She spoke coldly and raised her voice to question, "You drove out in a sports car in the middle of the night last night. Where did you go?"
"You dare not say it because you are guilty!"
The two of them walked all the way to the main house. The servants who were busy early in the morning quietly looked at Ms. Hopkins's aggressiveness, while Christina's face remained expressionless.
The servants in the Hopkins family knew well that Ms. Hopkins was not the one to mess with. She had always been Senior Mr. Hopkins's favorite daughter and had always been arrogant and spoiled.
To put it bluntly, it was because of the interest. Christina married into the Hopkins family and challenged Ms. Hopkins, so Ms. Hopkins targeted her.
Now the servants of the Hopkins family were choosing sides in private. The servants of Eastern Garden seemed easy to bully, but Nanny Faang and Nancy were confident.
Although their Junior Mrs. Hopkins seemed distant all day, she was not a pushover.
They walked all the way into the dining room of the main house, and the servants around them all had some plans in their hearts.
"I'm talking to you. Your Dickens family daughter is so rude!" Ms. Hopkins yelled at her angrily.
Christina was annoyed. She stopped, turned around, and said, "I went out to meet a man last night. Are you satisfied?"
Ms. Hopkins looked surprised, not expecting her to admit it so directly.
At that moment, she added fuel to the fire. While Senior Mr. Hopkins and Patrick were present at the breakfast table, she immediately shouted excitedly, "You heard her. She, she admitted that she drove out to meet a man last night."
"You're yelling early in the morning!" Senior Mr. Hopkins shouted with a sullen face.
Ms. Hopkins looked at her father's serious expression and shrewdly restrained herself.
The last time she was injured in her leg, she thought it must have been Christina, but Christina refused to admit it. And she had no solid evidence.
If she made any more trouble, her father would definitely throw her back to her husband's home.
Little did they know that this time she was actually back to the Hopkins family for the money. The second reason was that she didn't want her husband to get her back so easily.
Ms. Hopkins glared at Christina and sat down for breakfast.
As a daughter-in-law, Christina looked at Senior Mr. Hopkins and Judy. She greeted them and then sat down beside Patrick to eat.
Everyone at the table in the Hopkins family ate their own meals. They wouldn't talk to each other and had their own thoughts.
Senior Mr. Hopkins had five steamed buns for breakfast this morning. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Christina across the table with his blurry eyes. He knew that Christina had driven out in the middle of the night.
It was inappropriate for a married woman to drive out in the middle of the night.
But he was not a pedantic man. In modern society, it was acceptable for women to have male friends outside.
"Grandpa, I have something to do. I have to go now."
Christina ate a bowl of porridge, drank half a cup of orange juice, then put down the cup, and stood up quickly.
Ms. Hopkins wanted to make things difficult for her. She looked up and said in a shrill voice, "You are running out early in the morning. Where are you going?"
Christina was annoyed. She glanced at the people at the table. Her eyes stayed on Patrick for a little longer.
Her tone was as calm as possible. "I'm going to a friend's house. He's not feeling well."
It was obvious that she was going to Derek's apartment.
Patrick didn't seem to care. He didn't look up and still ate pasta and steak gracefully with a knife and fork.
