My billionaire husband spoils me too much

Chapter 248



Chapter 248

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.

Betty was also very worried when she heard that Christina was missing.She mulled over it for a while.

“In the past, whenever she was upset in C City, she would go to the cemetery to see her mother and

grandfather.But ever since she got married and moved to A City, she hasn’t told me anything unhappy.I

don’t know.” She said the last sentence in a low and ashamed tone.

In all, she had been Christina’s burden, having never done anything for her.

What had been preoccupying Christina had always been evaded with a forced smile, and Betty thought

she had never shared Christina’s burdens.

“Then what should we do?”

Crystal hung up the phone flummoxed.

“She’s so weak and she hasn’t had breakfast.It’s already noon and she certainly hadn’t had any food.A This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

City is so big and there are so many people and cars.It’s dangerous for her to roam aimlessly.If she

gets a car accident and goes to the hospital again…”

She didn’t dare to continue with her ominous imagination anymore.She parked the car aside and

turned to urge the one in the back seat.

“Derek, think of a way!”

“She went to find Patrick.”

Derek uttered a few words softly with no emotions shown on his face.

Crystal fumed at the reference of a certain Hopkins.

“Those people of the Hopkins family are truly cold-blooded.How dare they say anything about divorce

at this time? They deserve to go to hell and endure the cruelest torment there!”

“Do you think Patrick has something wrong with his brain during the operation in Seattle? What’s the

problem with him? Does he really intend to divorce Christina? Don’t forget that he was the one who

shamelessly forced Christina to remarry.What a jerk!”

Crystal kept swearing in the car.

Through the rearview mirror, she saw that Derek’s handsome face was much calmer, seemingly not

worried at all.

Crestfallen, she stopped her grousing.She didn’t understand why he didn’t take the initiative to look for

Christina when Patrick came back.

Love was a luxury.

How many people in this world could understand it? And what about Derek? He was even more

elusive.

With a tinkle sound, a new text message came in.

Crystal came back to her senses and noticed that Derek in the back seat had been holding his phone

and typing.She perked up.

“Is there any news of Christina?”

“She’s at the entrance of the Fireworks Bar.”

Crystal exhilarated and shouted, “Then, let’s go now”

It turned out that she was at the Fireworks Bar, which was very famous in A City, crowded with

celebrities and dignitaries, and it was Patrick’s personal property.

“Don’t find her.” Derek stopped her calmly.

“Why?”

Crystal looked puzzled and even a little irritated.

“Why don’t we look for her, Derek? To be honest, I don’t understand what you are planning.You may be

able to devise strategies and have the situation well in hand, but I only want Christina to be safe now”

“Don’t look for her now.” Derek remained unfazed in the face of her rage.

He tilted his head and ignored Crystal.

Derek’s blue eyes gazed out the window thoughtfully as if he had foreseen something through the

intersection outside the window.

His eyes were slightly closed, seemingly bored, or to be waiting for time.His long and pale fingers

repeated the same word on the slightly cold glass window, and the handwriting overlapped.

It read “Christina.”

Crystal suddenly calmed down, frowned, and examined him with staring eyes.

She was a little annoyed, as she thought he was really not worried about Christina at all! “Christina

wants to see Patrick, then let her see him.”

In the end, Derek said softly as a response.
