Seeing Betty yelling at her, Mrs.Dickens was so angry.She pointed at Betty and said, "I knew long ago
that there was no one good in your family.Your sisters died, and you, you are so pathetic.You haven't
married yet..."
"It's none of your business!"
Christina shook off Mrs.Dickens's hand in disgust subconsciously and stood in front of Betty to protect
her.
No matter how Betty hit her, the Dickens family had no right to judge.
"You, you...' Mrs.Dickens was so angry that she couldn't speak normally.
A few people strode out of the front door of the Hopkins family.
They felt something was wrong when they heard the noise.
Charles ran out excitedly and planned to mock Christina that she was not as elegant as her aunt at all.
However, when he saw the obvious palm print on Christina's cheek, he was shocked.
"Christina, what's wrong with your face?"
Charles couldn't imagine who dared to hit Christina.
The next second, he was pushed aside by someone behind him.
Patrick walked to Christina quickly without saying a word, but it was obvious that he was very unhappy.
He stared at the palm print on Christina's cheek and got angrier.
He looked around at everyone furiously.
Who slapped Christina! Patrick was so angry and horrible that everyone around him kept silent for a
moment.
He stood in front of Christina and reached out his hand to her, but Christina took a step back.
Christina lowered her head awkwardly as if she didn't want anyone to see the swelling on her face.
But actually, she just don't want anyone to see Betty.
"What's going on?"
Later, Senior Mr.Hopkins came out with a walking stick and shouted seriously.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the noise.
"Mr.Hopkins, it's just a small misunderstanding..."
Mrs.Dickens smiled flatteringly and explained, "Christina's aunt is not in a stable mood.She seems to
be a different person ever since she had an operation.Someone may instigate her.It's not a big
deal.Today is an important day and we shouldn't ruin it..."
Patrick still felt extremely angry.
He pinched his lips tightly and looked at Christina.
Later, he looked to Betty who stood behind Christina...
Everyone felt strange and looked at Betty.
Betty was over 40 years old with shoulder-length black hair.
Her bangs were picked up with a simple black clip.
She wore light makeup and a simple light yellow suit.
She looked thin and weak but elegant at the same time.
Betty stood up straight as if she must do something today, and her eyes were filled with determination
and hatred.
Yes, hatred.
Christina habitually looked to Betty, but she could not understand the hatred in Betty's eyes.
Why?
"Come with me." Betty suddenly spoke.
Her voice sounded cold and determined.
Betty somehow lost her usual modesty today and stood against everyone present.
She reached out her hand to grab Christina's wrist and pulled Christina to her.
But Patrick was faster.
He grabbed Christina's other wrist tightly, showing that Christina belonged to him.
"Patrick Hopkins, let her go!"
Betty raised her head and glared at Patrick.
Men from the Hopkins family were always so outstanding but disgusting.
Except for Senior Mr.Hopkins, almost no one dared to order Patrick like this.
"She hit you?"
Patrick lowered his head to look at Christina and asked.
He ignored Betty's words at all, but it could still be told from his voice that he was trying to control his
anger.
Christina's cheek was still burning with pain, but her mind was dull.
She did not answer Patrick.
In fact, she had no idea what was going on.She didn't know what to do.
"Kick her out -"
Patrick moved swiftly.
He held Christina's shoulder with his other hand and pulled her into his arms.
He ordered his bodyguards to kick Betty out, but Betty still grabbed Christina's left wrist.
She didn't let go even if there was a circle of bruises on Christina's wrist.
"Christina, go with me!"
Patrick and Betty confronted each other while Christina stood in the middle of them, being dragged.
"Goddamn!"
Patrick shouted loudly.
He had no patience for outsiders, especially when he saw Christina being tugged.He almost went mad.
Patrick was stronger.
He used all his might to pull Christina and hold her horizontally.
Then, he turned around quickly.
Betty was not prepared.
She was pushed away by Patrick and staggered to the ground.
"Auntie."
Christina looked at Betty in horror and struggled subconsciously, but Patrick was stubborn and refused
to let her move.
"What are you doing?"
Senior Mr.Hopkins glared at them with great dissatisfaction and shouted majestically.
Hearing Senior Mr.Hopkins's shout, everyone felt nervous and no one dared to make any noise
anymore.
"Take Miss Eisenhower to have a rest first..."
Senior Mr.Hopkins ordered.
Servants on both sides immediately came over.
However, Betty was like a trapped beast being hunted down.
She screamed desperately, "Don't touch me.All of you are dirty.I hate everyone from your family."
"Christina, if you don't go with me today, I am not your auntie anymore.You can continue to be the
young madam of the Hopkins family.I will just forget that you are my niece.You are not allowed to
worship me after my death!"
Betty crawled on the ground and looked very embarrassed, but when she looked up, Christina could
see the determination in her eyes.
Betty was serious about what she said and she wouldn't yield.
Christina was so shocked.
She was tightly locked in Patrick's arms, but she couldn't take her eyes off Betty.Why did Betty hate the
Hopkins family so much?
