My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 371
Ever since the last time Hopkins family invited the Dickens family as a guest and got rejected, SeniorMr. Hopkins had been deeply concerned at heart.
The Dickens family was not happy to come, but during the new year's days, others lingered outsidethe gate of the Hopkins family and kept calling to wish a happy New Year.
In particular, Senior Mr. Hopkins's daughters were not easy to deal with. Patrick's aunts were unitedas never before. They lived with their families in the house of the Hopkins family for three days andwere reluctant to leave.
"You all have nothing else to do? Are you all eating and drinking here for free?"
Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted coldly. He had always spoken without mercy to anyone, and even hisdaughters were no exception.
"Dad, it's the new year vacation. We four sisters finally put down our work. Fourth sister and I havebeen abroad for a long time. We miss you so much, so we made a special trip to come over.”
The third miss of the Hopkins family looked like the deceased Mrs. Hopkins the most, so she hadalways been the most delicate and spoiled
"Our house is so big, and the villas in Northern Garden and Western Garden are always empty. It willbe lively only when there are more people. Fourth and I have nothing to do anyway and areplanning to stay with you..."
Senior Mr. Hopkins lost his patience and shouted with a darkened face, "Don't tell me so much.After lunch, all of you go home. Don't disturb my peace. Do you hear me?"
In the spacious hall, several delicate misses of the Hopkins family looked at each other with differentthoughts. Knowing their father's temper, they did not dare to speak again.
It was a big lunch. Judy and Brianna accompanied the guests to dinner. The long table was full. TheSenior Mr. Hopkins was on the seat of honour, but Patrick did not appear.
When Third Miss Hopkins saw the empty seat at the dining table, she was furious, "We're all leaving.Patrick even didn't show up... Perhaps he thinks that we don't deserve to eat with him."
"It's not easy for Patrick to take care of so many businesses in the group. He's been having troublewith his wife lately, so he must be in a bad mood." Fourth Miss Hopkins tried to smooth things over,but what she said sounded a little sardonic.
Third Miss Hopkins was even angrier. "IP&G group has a huge business. If Patrick can't handle it, ourfamily will definitely be willing to help. We are all Hopkins..."
Third Miss Hopkins married into a rich and powerful family in Australia, but later the business failedout of poor management, and she had been relying on Hopkin family's subsidies.
But after all, she was a married daughter, and she could not compare to the male grandsons of theHopkins family. Especially now that the twin heir was born, it would be even more inconvenient forher to get in touch with the Hopkins family in the future.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was annoyed by their nagging and did not look happy.
As the eldest daughter, Laurie Hopkins was the most sensible, "Have your meal and be quiet.”
The daughters of the Hopkins family were almost 50 years old, but they still felt as delicate as aprincess. Laurie Hopkins was the ablest one, and the other younger sisters followed her.
Third Miss Hopkins was angry and said to her eldest sister Laurie with sarcasm, "Although I am self-willed, I know the rules and am not like some people who don't take our family rules to heart at all.”"What the hell is that Dickens family in C City? Her daughter is so delicate. She hasn't divorced yetand dares not to go back to her husband's family for the new year. She thinks she can be proud ofhaving twins. How self-important!”
At this point, Laurie and the other sisters’ expressions changed slightly. They began to sneer andgloat.
Second Miss Hopkins, who had always been calm, smiled and made a suggestion. "If Patrick reallydivorced that Miss Dickens, I know a good girl..."
Fourth Miss Hopkins was also a smart person. She immediately said, "My husband has a distantniece who is very beautiful. She has a good character and educational background. She and Patrickmake a good couple..."
"Shut up!"
Senior Mr. Hopkins' face darkened and he shouted angrily.
The people at the table were so scared that they immediately shut up, especially Brianna, who wasvery timid and introverted. She sat beside Senior Mr. Hopkins with her head down, and her faceturned pale with fear.
"Rovy, take Brianna back to her room first." Senior Mr. Hopkins had always been more sympatheticto his autistic granddaughter and turned to give orders to the butler.
Brianna said timidly, "I... Ill go back to my room first." She spoke in a very low voice and kept herhead down. She did not even dare to look at the ladies of the Hopkins family and followed Rovy outof the dining hall.
"She's just adopted. Why protect her like this?"
Third Miss Hopkins was particularly mean when she saw that someone was favored.
When Senior Mr. Hopkins saw that Brianna had left, he immediately glared at them angrily andscolded them directly, "This is Hopkins family. I can protect whoever I like. It's my own business. Youare guests... Next time, figure out who you are first, or you won't need to come again!"
"Dad, we are your daughters..."
Third Miss Hopkins was very bitter. It was fine to say that Patrick was the only male grandson whowas blessed by nature. What was this Brianna Hopkins? She was just a bastard who was broughtback from the orphanage.
"What's the use of a biological daughter? Can you let me have a good day?" Senior Mr. Hopkins wasfurious and scolded.
"Besides, I make it clear to you here today. Don't interfere in Patrick's affairs. If you don't have theability, don't make waves all day. If you get into any trouble and that rascal doesn't help you, don'tblame me. I'm old, and I can't cover it for you!"
Laurie and the other daughters all knew that although their father scolded Patrick and called him arascal all day long, he loved him the most. Knowing that they couldn't get any benefit from makingtheir father angry, they all had their meals quietly and wisely.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the delicate Hopkins ladies finally left.
Patrick happened to come out of the Eastern Garden and saw his aunts being chased awayindignantly in the courtyard path from afar. Third Miss Hopkins even deliberately glared at himfiercely.
Patrick had no emotion on his face. He looked at the gate of the Hopkins family from afar with acold and aloof attitude, but he was thinking about something else.
The butler passed by. He saw the scene just now and said kindly, "Third Miss’ husband seemed tohave lost a lot of money in investment at the end of last year. Her upset is normal.”
Patrick would never take his aunts seriously, who kept trying to make trouble. But facing thetroubles, Young Master Hopkins was never kind.
"I used to think innocently that all women were as greedy as them."
Patrick suddenly replied, and the old butler was bemused and did not understand.
Patrick walked straight to the garage, and the butler followed him hurriedly. "Young Master Hopkins,are you going out?"
It was the fifth day of the new year. The group was not back to work yet. During the vacation, manyfriends invited him to parties but he declined. He had been bored at home for almost half a month.Patrick didn't say where to go, didn't call the driver, and drove silently all the way to the airport.
He parked the car outside the airport and went straight to the plane.
"Young Master Hopkins seems to have gone to the Dickens family in C City.” The butler ran excitedlyto report to Senior Mr. Hopkins.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was enjoying his tea. A few days ago, he was annoyed by his daughters and wasin a bad mood. It was uneasy for him to calm down. Hearing the news, he felt a little surprised,
"He finally couldn't bear it and went to replace her himself..."
