"What's your relationship with that bastard of the Fisher family?" When Lassie saw her, she questioned her harshly.
Christina was a little confused.
Seeing that she said nothing for a minute, Lassie thought she was guilty and said in a more confident tone, "Stop keeping secrets. I know someone who already knows what happened between you and him."
"So what exactly happened between us?" A wave of anger came over Christina addressing her provocation.
"The lawyer appointed by Derek helped you set up a trust fund. He transferred all the assets personally in your name. If there was nothing nasty between you, how come he have given you so much money!"
Lassie asked fiercely. With so much property, why did such a good thing happen to her? There was a barely veiled envy in her tone.
Christina finally realized that it was the time when Derek entrusted a lawyer to handle the property grant.
There really was no such thing as a secret.
Especially in the upper class, it was easy to know through connections, even if it was a confidential sort of thing.
Christina responded very directly. She said angrily with face darkened , "It's none of your business!"
Lassie glared at her angrily.
She couldn't believe it when she first heard the news. She was angry and hateful that she got such a big fortune for no reason.
In the living room, Senior Mr. Hopkins, Judy, and Brianna were all there.
They were supposed to have breakfast at the table, but because Lassie had told them all about it early in the morning, they all had their own thoughts.
Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned and looked at Christina.
The older generation usually didn't interfere in the private affairs of young people. It was her personal decision whether Christina would accept Derek's gift or not, but the figures involved this time was extremely huge, and even Senior Mr. Hopkins felt a little uncomfortable.
As Hopkins family's granddaughter-in-law, it was not right to accept such a huge fortune from a man outside.
However, even the elders had no right to ask Christina to refuse the property.
"Dad, I know it's my fault that I went to investigate her privacy," Lassie suddenly softened her tone and looked at Senior Mr. Hopkins with a righteous look. "But she should at least mention such a big thing to us. I don't know what she's thinking about. I was just trying to be considerate for her and Hopkins family. "
As Christina was about to refute, Lassie immediately increased the irritation, "People outside think that our Patrick can't afford a wife."
She dared to say that Patrick couldn't afford to raise his wife.
Christina looked at the people in front of her and suddenly felt funny.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was still silent and deep in thought. Christina saw Lassie's face light up and Judy, who was pretending to be calm and quiet, enjoy this show so much.
Finally, looking up at Patrick, Christina didn't want to say anything.
The warmth of the morning seemed to disappear in an instant.
Christina had refused to accept Derek's transfer of property from the beginning, but the lawyer who was entrusted seemed to be particularly stubborn. He was in a hurry to get the deal done and kept calling her to sign it.
Christina was so angry that she wanted to beat him up when she called the lawyer. "I told you, I refuse to accept it. Don't transfer so much."
"I can't. Mr. Fisher has already authorized it."
The lawyer tried to persuade her, as if he was thinking for her. "Miss Dickens, all you have to do now is sign your name. In fact, even if you don't sign your name, I have already set up a trust fund for you."
"After these assets are officially under your name, you can transfer them back to anyone you want in the future," the lawyer did not forget to add fawningly, "If you have any property transfer matters in the future, you can always ask me to help you deal with them at any time."
Tootle... Christina hung up the phone.
These people were greedy and fully engaged for money, which made Christina so mad.
She was very angry and called her best friend Crystal.
"I behaved well lately. It's Lassie who always managed to mess with me..." Christina picked up her phone and complained.
Crystal said softly as usual. "Lassie is really a typical villain, but you don't have to worry about her for too long. After all, she can't live in Hopkins family for the rest of her life."
"At this point, I think she wants to live here for the rest of her life."
Christina was upset at the thought of Lassie. "Last month, Patrick gave me a house with a flat of more than 200 square meters. It's more comfortable to live there than in Hopkins family. I'm ready to take the children there..."
Crystal burst into laughter.
Christina was just talking about it. How could people in Hopkins family let her live outside with her children?
"How is Derek now?" Crystal did not forget to care about her favorite.
Christina sighed. "The last time he hurt himself, which scared me..."
"Now he has become indifferent to everyone, not even to me. The transfer of property is nothing to him. He is now like a buddha who sees through everything in the world and has nothing to do with it."
Others said that there must be a huge profit plot for Derek to transfer such a large amount of property to her. In fact, Derek did not take the money seriously at all, just like giving away the cabbage at home.
"On next full moon, I'll visit him." Christina muttered with a serious expression.
She asked casually, "By the way, Crystal, it`s my father's birthday tomorrow, I'm going to take the twins back to the Dickens family for a few days. Do you want to come with me and take a walk in C City?"
Crystal was a little awkward. "It`s inconvenient."
Christina suddenly understood. "Oh, I almost forgot that you can't run around in the early stages of pregnancy." Crystal's pregnancy was a happy thing, and Christina was also happy for her. "Chandler probably won't let you go back to the Dickens family with me."
At the mention of Chandler, Crystal sighed.
Crystal forced a smile. "Yes."
"Crystal, you should have told him about your pregnancy, right?" Christina doubted her cowardly personality.
Crystal immediately replied, "Yes, yes."
Christina asked her, "Chandler should be happy too, right?"
Crystal continued to respond with a smile. "He's happy."
