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.
