My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1360

Stanley hurriedly walked over to Mr. Bishop and loudly said, “I will not allow you to take Christine away!”

When Mr. Bishop saw that the newly-arrived person was just a young man, he completely disregarded Stanley and even went so far as to unapologetically lash out at Stanley, “Who are you?! What right do you have to interfere with the Bishop Family’s matters?! Christine is my daughter! I am free to take her wherever I want! It’s none of your business!”

Stanley was about to say something when Mr. Bishop roared in his face and covered his face in spit. “Get lost! This is the Bishop Family’s matters! You are not allowed to interfere!”

Then, the Bishops tried to shove him aside. However, he refused to budge. Even if he were accused of kidnapping, he refused to move aside. Christine seemed to be extremely uncomfortable on the bed and occasionally groaned in pain. She had recovered very well—so much so that she could regain consciousness at any time. Moreover, the experts even said that she had a high chance of making a full recovery. She was still alive, but she would die if the Bishop Family took her away!

Meanwhile, Sophia rushed inside to protect Christine too. At this point, the Bishop Family was going crazy. They were determined to take Christine away even though Maddie promised to pay for everything. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

This doesn’t make any sense! When Clive died, the Bishop Family changed their tune quickly and went around seeking justice for their son! So, why are they not causing trouble for the hotel and the parties involved now that Christine is in this condition? Why are they trying to take Christine away despite the condition she’s in?

Oh, right! It’s about compensation! When Clive died back then, the Bishop Family did not receive a single penny in reparation! That’s why they remained in Bayside City, petitioning for money. But, they seem pretty content this time around. The only possibility is that they have received their

compensation! Then, Sophia recalled the luxury car she saw parked outside the hospital… The twins must have heard about it and made their move first! After receiving compensation, the Bishop Family lost all their grievances and left in content. They don’t even care whether Christine survives or not! We cannot allow them to take her away!

Both parties were stuck in a stalemate. In the meantime, Linus and Sean also came over to help protect Christine. After a while, the people waiting in the luxury car parked outside started to become impatient and came over to check on the situation themselves.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to take her away as soon as possible? Are you thinking of asking for more money now?” Henry said unhappily as he took off his sunglasses. He was still wearing the clothes he wore to the wedding banquet.

The Bishop Family spoke very rudely to Maddie, but they looked like they were meeting somebody great when they saw Henry. They nodded and bowed to him while saying, “Please don’t worry, Mr. Edwards. We will not cause more trouble for you.”

Henry and Ryan were now part of the Edwards Family. Therefore, they brought people from the Edwards Family with them. When they saw Stanley and the others, who were blocking the way, they deliberately asked, “Who are all these people?!”

Mr. Bishop glared at Stanley and Maddie fiercely before showing a flattering smile to Henry. “Just a bunch of outsiders.”

These people were no better than beasts! As the owner of the Champs-Elysee Hotel, these two ‘Mr. Edwards’ had already given the Bishop Family a compensation of 10 million. Aside from that, they also provided the Bishop Family with a villa in Provincial City and a car, which added up to 15 million in total. 15 million! That amount of money was enough to make the Bishop Family bow down to them. However,

they had one condition: the Bishop Family had to get rid of Christine and not cause a ruckus over this incident.

With 15 million on the table, the Bishop Family obediently did as they were told. Although they knew that their actions would result in Christine’s death, the temptation of the 15 million was too great. Besides, Christine was completely broken. Even if it was extremely distressing, she was about to die. She would die no matter what they did. In that case, they might as well take the money and leave.

Pointing at Stanley and the rest, who were blocking the way, Henry issued an order to his men. “Chase these people away.”

He was smiling as he did so. He loved watching how Stanley looked—it was an expression where Stanley wished to strangle them to death yet was unable to do anything.

Stanley glared at the people from the Edwards Family and furiously roared, “Try me!”

However, the people from the Edwards Family were not afraid of him and continued to approach him. In the end, he took them on, fighting two guys at once. In the meantime, the Bishop Family tried several times to snatch Christine away. 10 million, plus a villa and a luxury car, was on the line!

The lobby was a chaotic mess, and the police were at a loss for what to do. Even if they wanted to help, it was a family affair. Christine’s survival rate was extremely low; it was not unreasonable for her family to give up on the treatment due to a lack of funds.

Soon, the forces of the Mitchell and Fletcher families arrived. They rushed in like a tidal wave and chased away the Edwards Family and the Bishop Family. The Bishop Family glared at the Fletcher Family that stood in their way, feeling livid. They are here to snatch our 10 million away! It’s 10 million! That’s enough for us to do a lot of things, legal or illegal! Fortunately, the Bishop Family had another hidden weapon.

“Help! Help! My daughter is being kidnapped!” Mr. Bishop yelled at the top of his voice while pointing at Stanley and the rest.

The reporters were frantically taking photos. Henry was highly expectant, hoping that news about the Fletcher Family illegally imprisoning an individual would make the headlines tomorrow.

Stanley and Maddie knew that they were being unreasonable, but they couldn’t bring themselves to let go. They were stuck at an impasse. All of a sudden, Stanley seemed to hear a weak voice coming from behind him.

“Maddie… Stan, save me—” Christine was awake! Despite being in a coma, she knew what was happening around her—she could hear and sense touch but could not open her eyes. She knew that if her family took her away, she would not survive the ordeal. Even so, her survival instincts gave her enough strength at this critical juncture to force open her eyes and beg for help.

Maddie held Christine’s cold hands in hers and resolutely assured her, “Don’t worry. I will never abandon you!”

Christine’s voice was very soft, and the breath in her chest felt as if it could dissipate at any time. Still, she gritted her teeth and held on. I don’t want to die! No matter how much money it’ll cost, I want to live! I will work hard to pay off my debts!

Unfortunately, the Bishop Family seemed to have decided that she would not survive. They simply wanted the 10 million and the luxurious house. Christine looked at the people protecting her and felt tears spilling from her eyes… Despite knowing that Christine had regained consciousness, they refused to let her go. Compared to the 15 million they would receive in compensation, their disabled daughter was nothing. Thus, they tried to grab Christine again with the help of the Edwards Family.

Meanwhile, the Yard twins were watching the entire farce in amusement.

All of a sudden, Sophia seemed to think of something and yelled, “Stop! You are not allowed to take Christine away! She is married to Stan! She is already part of the Fletcher Family!”

When Maddie heard those words, she immediately caught on to Sophia’s intention. If Christine is married into the Fletcher Family, we have a reason to protect her! Thus, she wiped her tears away, brought out her most imposing aura as the matriarch of the Fletcher Family, and sternly said, “Christine is part of the Fletcher Family now. The Bishop Family is not allowed to take her away!”

On the other hand, Stanley seemed stunned. Sophia hurriedly nudged at him in response, and he finally understood what was going on. He turned to the Bishop Family and said, “Christine is my wife. Who dares to snatch her away from me?!”

The truth was that Stanley and Christine were just normal friends that often played games together. They were not even lovers. That was something he understood very clearly. But, she is my friend! I’m going to protect her! If only I answered that phone call! At the very least, I could have deterred the Yard twins from harming her!

Upon hearing that Stanley and Christine were married, the Bishops were the first to deny it. “Bullsh*t! I’m her father! Why don’t I know about this?! I don’t agree with this! It doesn’t count even if you’re married!”

Stanley smiled coldly. “It doesn’t matter if you disagree with it; all that matters is the law agrees with me!”
