Female Novel
Chapter 466
After a few rounds of drinking, the women were a little drunk.
Crystal was a little befuddled by the drink. She lay on the table and looked around. Suddenly, she
found that Christina was not there.
She immediately perked up. "Has Christina been in the bathroom for a long time?"
Penny was half-drunk and chewing on the meatball, shouting that she couldn't waste it. She replied
slowly, "I don't know."
"Brianna is not here either..."
"I saw Christina drag Brianna out. It looked like she wanted to press Brianna with questions."
Penny burped. "What's the relationship between Christina and that Brianna? I feel that they know each
other well and yet have a distant relationship. Christina was speaking something with a peremptory
note in her voice. I feel pity for Brianna."
Crystal was drunk and had a headache. She hurried to the bathroom to look for them with an unsteady
gait.
She searched a few cubicles but did not find them.
She was afraid that something terrible had happened. Just then, Rachel came out from the other side.
"Christina was very drunk. I saw someone carrying her and Brianna away just now."
Rachel pointed to the window. Outside the window, a black Porsche drove away quickly.
"Who took them away?" Crystal was so stunned that she almost sobered up.
This was really terrible.
Crystal rummaged around in her bag for her cell phone while thinking about whom she should call. She
lost Christina and Brianna. It was a disaster.
Penny didn't think it would be a big deal. "Maybe they met someone they knew and left together. You
know how unreliable Christina is. They are both adults. Plus, Christina is no pushover. Don't worry."
"Their bags are still here." Rachel went back to the private room and found Christina's and Brianna's
bags. They must have been taken away in a hurry.
Crystal was even more anxious now.
Her first reaction was to call Chandler. "We had dinner together... Christina was drunk, so she went to
the bathroom. Someone took her away."
"The car was too far away. I couldn't see the license plate number... It looked like a Porsche..." Crystal
was not very sober. She tried her best to recall more information.
"Chandler, come over now and help me find them... Brianna is also gone." Crystal urged him on the
phone.
If Patrick knew that Christina had been lost during the dinner party with her, then... Crystal was under
great pressure.
No matter how drunk Penny was, she could now tell from Crystal's attitude that this was serious.
"Are they rich? Did someone take the advantage and kidnap them?" Penny guessed.
Crystal broke down. "No! Oh, god, no."
Penny was dumbfound. Could they really be kidnapped?!
Fifteen minutes later, Chandler rushed over, and behind him was Patrick.
When Penny and Rachel saw the two men, they were shocked and confused. Their clothes, the way
they talk... were all extraordinary. Especially the second one, Christina's husband...
"Is that really Christina's husband?"
Penny felt that maybe her mind was in such a mess from all the drinking that she found the man like an
angel coming down to the earth.
He looked much nobler than the big boss of her company. He could only be appreciated at a distance
but was not to be dallied with.
Rachel was also shocked for a few minutes. She sat in a corner and watched the man in astonishment.
If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be... Patrick Hopkins, from the Hopkins family.
When she was a child and her family was still rich, she had attended some banquets, and seen Patrick
in the distance. Every time he appeared, he would soon become the focus of attention. Those boys of
the same age liked to get close to him. But this eldest grandson of the Hopkins family had always been
very low-key and indifferent to outsiders.
"Christina's husband is from the Hopkins family... No wonder Crystal is so nervous." Rachel muttered to
herself.
Rachel and Penny didn't get close, not daring to disturb Patrick and the others.
Patrick stood there. He didn't say anything and his face was gloomy. The owner of this restaurant ran
back and forth several times with cold sweat.
"... The security camera in our restaurant is broken." In order to save money, he had not repaired the
camera after it stopped working. But now someone suddenly asked to see the surveillance footage,
looking for some missing persons. He was really scared.
"How did you get the business license?" Patrick asked in a cold voice.
The owner was so scared that he couldn't say a word. Actually, he was running a legitimate operation.
He just committed a momentary oversight.
Chandler understood the difficulty of conducting business with small capital. This was just an honest
mistake. But once offending someone as powerful as Patrick, the owner could easily get crushed.
He guessed, "Could it be Derek who send someone here?"
Crystal, who stood behind them, whispered, "Brianna is missing too."
It would be reasonable for Derek to take Christina away, but he couldn't have done anything to Brianna.
Patrick's phone rang at the moment. He glanced at the number and didn't seem to plan to answer it.
The caller seemed to know about him very well, so a text message was sent at the same time.
"Christina is with me."
Patrick's eyes lit up and he immediately called back.
"What's going on!" Patrick's voice was as cold as ice.
Under great pressure, Lucy explained at once, "I didn't mean to take her away."
"Larry and I went over there to eat hotpot dishes. We happened to meet Christina. They were too
drunk, so we had to carry them to the club."
Lucy knew Patrick treated his subordinates strictly. She didn't want to be scolded. "Christina can take
some hangover medicine here..."
It turned out to be just a false alarm. Christina was taken away by his own people. The shooting club
was indeed close to here, only 300 meters away.
Crystal also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"Damn!" After Lucy hung up the phone, she cursed and gritted her teeth... "I've already informed the
boss."
Larry muttered at the side, "If you tell him any later, he will come and kill you."
Lucy was very unhappy. She looked at the drunk woman in the corner. They were supposed to eat
hotpot dishes tonight, but this woman ruined it.
"Dickens, remember, you owe me one!" Lucy had a clear-cut stand.
Christina was usually quiet when she got drunk, but tonight, she peered at Lucy and suddenly reached
out to grab her. She had some thoughts.
She mumbled, "You must be very good at investigating people for privacy. Help me investigate
Brianna."
Hearing this, Lucy was curious. She remembered that night near the road, Christina warned Brianna
not to harm her friends and so on. Brianna was weak. It was very strange that Christina wanted to
scare her.
"I don't think she has the power to deal with you. Why do you want to investigate her? Are you wary of
Brianna?"
"Help me investigate Brianna. I'll pay you." Christina was really drunk. After she said that, she closed
her eyes and fell asleep.
Lucy rolled her eyes.
Pay her? Did Christina think she would work for anyone that paid her?
If she hadn't owed Patrick a big favor at first, she wouldn't have come here and suffered.
Patrick and Chandler soon arrived.
They first found Brianna, who was sitting at the counter and taking the hangover medicine. She looked
pale, weak, and uncomfortable.
Brianna couldn't drink at all. She must have been forced to take a few sips. It seemed that she was not
used to it.novelbin
"Brother Patrick..." Brianna felt Patrick approaching and immediately hugged him like a child. Her body
was warm, probably because of the drinking. She seemed dependent on Patrick.
Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Patrick didn't push her away. He patted her on the shoulder and
said in a low voice, "You can't drink. Don't drink in the future."
Chandler looked at Brianna and felt pity for her... "A sister-in-law like Christina will only teach her bad
lessons."
On the sofa, Christina, the ringleader, was lying on the side and sleeping soundly.
Patrick subconsciously wanted to push Brianna away and walk to Christina, but Brianna clung to him
like a stubborn child. "Brother Patrick..."
She had got some Dutch courage.
Normally, Brianna was very timid and careful of what she said.
Brianna held him in her arms tight, refusing to let go. She cried, "Brother Patrick, I'm scared. I'm scared
of her..."
Chandler frowned and suggested, "Patrick, take Brianna back to the car first." Brianna was very
sensitive and unsociable. She must be very scared now.
She cried so hard that Patrick's shirt was wet by her tears. She was scared and helpless. Patrick had
no other choice. He didn't want to push her away forcefully. So he picked her up and went back to the
car.
When Patrick turned around, he took a look at Christina.
Although Christina was usually a troublemaker, once she got drunk, she would be very quiet. She
would find a corner on her own and sleep.
Alcohol made Christina's fair face blush. Her lips were bright red. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She
was just sleeping soundly and breathing evenly, quiet like a tired and sleeping baby.
As the saying went, wine in, truth out. A person's true nature could be told after drinking.
