"We can't get through Young Master..."
"There must be something important for Patrick to do in America. We'll discuss it when he comes back."
In the lobby of the Hampton Family, the immediate relatives all spoke politely and did not dare to jump to conclusions. After all, what Cory had said had something to do with the young master of the Hopkins Family.
Patrick framed Cory?
No one dared to comment on the matter until it was cleared up.
Everyone sat upright. Mr. Hopkins looked solemn. His bleared eyes were deep in thought. His right hand held the crutch tightly as if his anger was about to erupt at any moment. The others were trembling, glancing over at Christina with suspicion from time to time.
"Let's go."
The others thought that Mr. Hopkins was going to lose his temper, but he leaned on his walking stick and sat up from his chair. Their heart skipped a beat.
This meant that it was not suitable to mention this matter for the time being. Everyone was smart. Seeing Mr. Hopkins's attitude, they were all ready to leave.
Christina walked out of the Hampton Family with the old man on her right side.
She put on a straight face. She was thinking about something.
She remembered she had broken into Patrick's study and flipped through some documents...
Cory just mentioned that he was framed in a rape case six years ago... It was Patrick who had it done.
"Carrie, you can't blame Cory for canceling the wedding today. You're so vicious, you had told so many lies to us, and may have plotted something else. How dare you dream of marrying into the Hampton Family!" Laurie's voice came faintly from the lobby of the Hampton Family's.
"Mrs. Hampton, I just lost my head for the moment..."
Carrie cried with tears all over her face. "I admit that I can't have children because of my physical problems. That's why..."
As she spoke, she turned to the angry, cold man and pleaded, "Cory, I was in love with you. I really loved you. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, but I was afraid that you would despise me for not being able to give birth, so I secretly hid the used condom..."
"Stop it!" Cory snapped at her impatiently.
When he thought of these things, he could not calm down.
Seeing how ruthless he was to her, Carrie became anxious, raised her voice, and shouted, "Cory, believe me, I really didn't know you were framed at that time. I only guessed later that it had something to do with Patrick. I really didn't think about setting you up..."
