My Dreamy Old Husband novel 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.

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!”
