Christina sat in the corner of the Fishers lobby and looked around bored. She noticed that Patrickand the other men seemed to be dealing with some emergency.

"You go back to the hotel first."

After a while, Patrick walked towards her hurriedly and said quickly.

"What's wrong? The party hasn't started yet."

Unwilling to move, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "I want to wait..."

"Christina, who do you want to wait for?"

Charles glared at her angrily. "Chandler's son is missing. We're going to replace that little guy. No onewill company you."

Just now, the nanny rushed to the coffee shop to look for the child, but she couldn't replace him.Charles thought of some terrible kidnap cases, which made him nervous.

Christina was surprised at first. After all, losing the child was a big deal, but, she then said, "Youdon't have to accompany me. I'll just sit here. You guys go and do your work." As she spoke, shealso pushed Patrick by his arm and asked him to go quickly.

Patrick frowned, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.

Chandler, on the other hand, calmed down and looked at the red dot on the screen. "He ran to theamusement park..." His son had a habit of hiding in noisy places whenever he was in a bad mood.Chandler put away his phone and strode towards the door without delay.

"Geoffrey is just throwing a tantrum. I'm going to look for him now. Patrick, you guys stay and waitto see if Derek is back..."

"Derek," Christina's expression froze when she heard the two words.

Were they really that close to Derek?

Suddenly, Charles wanted to ask something, so he followed Chandler worriedly. "Chandler, wait forme. I'll go look for that little guy too..."

This unreliable Mr. Shepherd had always loved children and was practically a male nanny for the kid."Sit here and don't wander around.” Patrick warned her, stepped forward, and whispered a fewwords to the two bodyguards behind him. His expression was a little strange, and he walked intothe crowd.

She was still sitting there, watching them go about their business, and suddenly felt that she wasuseless.

In fact, there were many things that she could help, but Patrick did not allow her to interfere.Christina had been waiting until 7: 00 in the evening. It was already dark outside and the Fishersbirthday party had officially begun.

The lights in the hall were dimmed and a beam of light lit up on the podium. A pair of sixty-year-oldcouples were standing on the podium with flowers in their arms. They were smiling generously andkindly in front of the guests.

"Thank you very much for coming to my wife's birthday party today. Just enjoy the food and drinkand make yourselves at home here..."

Ralph, the current head of the Fishers, was speaking on the stage. He was full of energy and heseemed very healthy. Christina could see that the old man could live for so long. She had alwayshated the people of the Fisher Family. Look at the fake smile of this Ralph.

"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to announce another important issue to you all,”Ralph, who was on the rostrum, paused, became serious, then he naturally took Mrs. Fisher's hand,and the two old couples took a step forward with affections for each other.

Ralph cleared his throat and said calmly, "My wife and I have been working hard for the companyfor the most part of our lives, and we are old enough to retire and enjoy ourselves..."

The audience immediately became a little noisy when they heard this.

It was not a small matter that the person in charge of the Fishers officially announced theirretirement, especially for companies that had close working relationships with them. They wereespecially concerned about the next person in charge...

"Last week, our board of directors unanimously approved the appointment of Luke as the CEO ofthe FISHER Corporation..."

In that dark corner, Christina was furious when she heard the news. "Why?!"

That Luke was only the son-in-law of the Fishers. Luke only agreed to marry the eldest daughter ofthe Fisher Family because of the Wilsons's downfall, it was obvious to him that Ralph gave away thecompany to an outsider. What about Derek!

"And Derek's little girlfriend?”

The lights in the hall gradually lit up. Just as Christina's face darkened with anger, a rough andsurprised voice suddenly came into her ears.

Christina raised her head, gloomy, and looked at a short, fat man in front of her, with a big goldchain around his neck. Who was this fat middle-aged man with a big belly?

"Go away!" The more upset she was, the angrier she was with this rich stranger.

"It's really you," but he didn’t leave. Anyway, he looked at her curiously. "Little girl, after all theseyears, your temper is still the same as that when you were a child. You are really spoiled by yourfamily all along.”

Christina immediately recalled some childhood memories when she heard the duck-like voice of thisman.

"That fat pig uncle of Derek?"

She remembered that she met a strange uncle surnamed Morris when she sneaked into the Fishersto look for Derek, and he liked to tease her.

"Girl, you'd better be polite. I didn’t care back then because you were a little girl. Now look at youalready..."

He looked at her bulging abdomen and immediately looked surprised, as if he saw somethingterrible, "How did you get pregnant!”

"Are you pregnant with Derek's child?"

"Don't talk nonsense.” Christina stood up in a hurry.

Seeing her nervous look, he sneered and said in a more sarcastic tone, "That's right. You hated himback then. How could you be pregnant with his child? That autistic idiot nephew of mine didn'tdeserve you..."
