"Is this Derek's uncle?"
Larry came to the Dickens family for the first time.
Standing outside the door, he had hesitated for half an hour before he came in.
Especially when he saw Betty go out to greet him, his face suddenly turned red.
"These are for you...Happy New Year."
Larry, an old man, suddenly became embarrassed.
After saying something quickly, he stuffed the gifts in his hands into Betty.
Then Betty warmly welcomed him into the room.
"I have something to do.I'm here today to ask Christina something."
He said to Betty nervously with a red face, and quickly pulled Christina out of the door.
"Do you like my auntie?"
After being pulled out of the door, Christina asked him.
Looking nervous, he didn't admit it.He shouted, "No, don't talk nonsense!"
"I came here today to ask you if Derek has been looking for you recently."
"No" She noticed that Larry looked serious.
He muttered to himself, "It's impossible.He really got off the plane..."
Larry seemed to be really busy.He typed his phone numbers into her phone, "If Derek contacts you,
inform me immediately"
With that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong with him?" She shouted at his back.
He quickly got into the car and started the engine, a little annoyed and impatient, "Damn it, how could a
living person vanish into the air..."
Standing at the door, she watched Larry's car sped away.She could not hear what he was muttering at
the end.
But he looked as if something had happened.
"Is it that silly boy from the Fisher family?"
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs.Dickens was talking to Betty about Derek, "That boy was so
handsome.At that time, Christina's grandfather said that he wanted to give them engagements.But
everyone said that he had a high fever and his brain was not all right.There would be something wrong
with his IQ."
"Grandma, he is very smart.He just doesn't like to talk."
Christina walked in and retorted casually.
Betty smiled, "Ever since you were a child, every time someone said that Derek's brain was not all
right, you must be angry.Because of this, you fought with others a lot when you were young."
"Those people deserve a beating."
Christina recalled her glorious past expressionlessly and asked Betty anxiously, "Auntie, has Derek
contacted you?"
Betty shook her head, "Derek? I haven't seen him for a long time.Last time your father was
hospitalized, I was going to ask him for help, but his phone was turned off"
Taking out her phone, Christina was looking through the contacts in her address book.
Then she called Derek, but his phone was still turned off.
Seeing her frown, Betty said with concern, "Derek's uncle came over just now.Did something happen to
him?"
"Derek is a poor child.Back then, his mother was simply deceived by a man from the Fisher family.She
gave birth to him.As an illegitimate child, he was bullied in the Fisher family after siring bond.He had no
family around him..."
Betty had always liked Derek and had been helped by him several times.
She made a suggestion, "Christina, you could ask Charles to see if there is any news.That Derek's
uncle just now looked very anxious."
"I see."
Taking the phone, Christina swiped her fingers across the screen.
She happened to see Charles actively sending voice messages in the group of WhatsApp.
Mr.Shepherd: "Chandler, according to the rules of my family, you married people have the obligation to
give me such a single man a big red packet.Give me two big packets with your wife, or it will be
unlucky"
Mr.Shepherd: "From now on, it's agreed.I'll give you a red packet first and you grab it at random.Those
who get the most money will continue to send another packet"
Charles, who had been idling around all day, built a small group and pulled in a few familiar friends.
They were having a good time.
Invincible Tina: "Does anyone have Derek's news?"
Christina suddenly sent a message.
Then several people in the group immediately became excited.
Mr.Shepherd: "Christina, is this you?"
Charles questioned.
According to the rumor, Christina had a showdown with Patrick, and in the end, she left A City
heartbroken, so they didn't dare to disturb her during the New Year.
Invincible Tina: "I'm asking if you have any news about Derek.Has he been in trouble recently?"
There was a minute of silence in the group.
As always, the rather imposing tone was Miss Dickens' style.
Who was the fool who said that Christina was heartbroken and sad...
It was bullshit.
Aman named John immediately responded, "Are you looking for Derek from the Fisher family in F
City?"
"Sister-in-law, I happened to meet him at A City international airport on New Year's Eve.At about 4 pm,
he just got off the plane and didn't bring any luggage.He was alone"
John was in the financial business, so he was familiar with Derek's name.
The last big earthquake in the domestic stock market was caused by Derek.
It was because of this that John looked at Derek a few more times that day.
If this able person planned to make a great event, his assets would shrink again.
The companies that were hunted by Derek were all in trouble.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry.If I have any news here, I will inform you immediately:"
Christina was the darling of Patrick.
They all responded in a servile manner, but no one had heard from Derek recently.
In the end, Chandler sent her a private message, "Patrick must know what you want to know: Looking
at her phone, she was silent for a while.”
Seeing that she was in the mood to play with WhatsApp, Charles became excited and sent her private
messages without a break, "Why are you looking for Derek?"
"You don't have to worry about him.He is more ruthless than Patrick"
"Did you see the short video about twins I sent to you yesterday? Yesterday, on the first day of the new
year, we took it secretly in Hopkins family, risking our lives."
Christina thought he was too annoying, then she quitted the group.
Charles knew that she was in a bad mood and sent her a message, "Christina, you don't miss your
sons at all?"
Being touched, she was annoyed and threw her phone on the counter.
Betty asked her with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing"
Christina dealt with it casually, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with him.He's been living
alone.Don't worry about him.After dinner, Christina went back to her room.Looking at the familiar
numbers on her phone, she hesitated for a long time.
Chandler was right.
The best way to inquire about Derek was to ask Patrick for help.
Finally, she called Patrick.
But the phone kept ringing, and no one answered it until it hung up automatically.
When Christina heard the beep, she couldn't help but sigh.
If the call was connected, she didn't know what to say to Patrick.His voice made her embarrassed and
flustered.
"Derek should be fine."
Throwing her phone on the bed, she went into the bathroom to soak in the bath.
At this time, in the Hopkins family, Patrick came back from the nursery after playing with his sons.He
picked up the phone in the bedroom that was charging.
There was a trace of surprise on his cold face.Christina called him before.
