Riley was a smart person. She did not mention Violet’s name.

She said to Thompson, “If we are going to ask the Stanton family, Dad, don’t tell them the identity of the woman. Otherwise, they will be unhappy if they know that we’ve investigated Patrick!”

After all, how could one not be angry when he was told that his son had been investigated?

Moreover, if Patrick knew that they wouldn’t let go of Violet, he definitely wouldn’t be polite to them.

They wanted to seek justice on a case–by–case basis. He was married and still came out for a blind date. They had to focus on this matter.

In this matter, Patrick was in the wrong. Riley didn’t believe that the Stanton family could still bully others.

Riley paused for a second before she continued, “We can’t offend the Stanton family, but we can’t take this loss either. If we are going to ask when the time comes, say that we heard from someone that Patrick seems to be married. Since he’s married, why did he go on a blind date with me? Isn’t he playing with our family? Ask them what they mean. As for how they investigate, how they ask, and how they compensate our family, it’s all a matter of the reputation of the Stanton family!”

When Thompson heard Riley’s words, he looked at her and nodded. “Your idea is not bad. This way, not only will we not appear inferior, but we won’t seriously offend the Stanton family!”

From what her father said, Riley knew he must have decided to stand up for her. She heaved a sigh of relief.

The next morning.

Violet looked at the message Patrick had sent her yesterday before boarding the plane.

Since then, Patrick didn’t reply to her messages.

Moreover, the typhoon had come ashore. The signal was not good, and his phone could. not be reached.

Violet could only feel anxious but do nothing.

At around ten o’clock, Hersey Court’s butler suddenly called. “Mrs. Hersey! Mr. Hersey’s mother had called and asked where Mr. Hersey was and why she couldn’t reach him!”

Chapter 338

Only then did Violet remember that Patrick had gone on a last–minute business trip last night and had not told the butler!

She said, “Something happened at the jewelry processing factory in Oceanfront City.

He went on a business trip at the last minute. Tell his mother that when he comes back, I’ll get him to contact his family!”

The butler nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell Mrs. Stanton now!”

Violet was so worried about Patrick that she did not notice that the butler was calling Mrs. Stanton, not Ms. Hersey.

If she had sensed it earlier, she would have known the truth long ago!

At the same time, at the old residence of the Stanton family.

Siran hung up after hearing the butler’s words.

She raised her head and looked at the people of the Anne family. “Patrick is on a business trip to Oceanfront City now. There has been a strong typhoon over there for the past few days, and we can’t contact him. How about this? When he comes back, the Stanton family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Mr. Anne, what do

you think?”

Christopher sat beside Siran and reached out to hold her in a protective posture. Thompson did not dare to say no.

He nodded. “Alright, then I’ll go home and wait for news. However, Mr. Stanton and Mrs. Stanton, I hope you can understand. I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that I don’t want my daughter to have anything to do with a married man. So, when I heard that Patrick was married, I didn’t ask anyone else. I came this time only to ask for an explanation!”

Siran nodded graciously. “I understand!”

Her

gaze landed on Riley. “Riley is a good child. If this matter is Patrick’s fault, I’ll make him apologize to you!”

Thompson knew that this was enough. He did not go too far and left with his daughter and wife.

After the Anne family left, Siran immediately frowned. “What’s going on? Our son is married, and we don’t even know about it. It was only when someone else came to ask for an explanation that I realized that it might be true. Do you think the Anne family is lying?”

Christopher’s eyes darkened, and he said slowly, “Thompson said that they heard about

this and did not dare to ask anyone else before they came to ask for an explanation. Do you believe his words?”

Siran pouted. “Who would believe that?”

Christopher said in a deep voice, “That’s right. If it weren’t for the fact that Patrick is married, no matter how bold the Anne family is, they wouldn’t dare to come to our house to cause trouble. It looks like this brat registered his marriage behind our backs!”

Siran looked at her husband, feeling helpless and angry. Of course, she was also a little happy.

After all, she had been looking forward to Patrick getting married as soon as possible so that there was no possibility of him getting back together with Gloria.

Patrick’s marriage was arranged with Travis’s biological daughter at first. Later, Travis’s biological daughter was lost, and Yvette cried all day long. Later, she acknowledged an adopted daughter, Wendy. That child was about the same age as Freddie, so the two families arranged a marriage for them.

Siran was not very satisfied with this marriage.

The reason why Siran arranged the engagement for the child was because she was good friends with Yvette, Travis’s wife. The two of them had a good relationship.

However, Yvette left the Tyler family after the two children were engaged, saying she was looking for her biological daughter. All these years, she had never returned to the Tyler family.

Siran was naturally biased toward Yvette in this matter. It was the Tyler family who had lost her good friend’s biological daughter.

Hence, she did not like the Tyler family people either.

However, she did not expect that after one of the Tyler family’s daughters had already been engaged to his son, there would be Gloria, who became a couple with Patrick.

It could be said that under these circumstances, Siran did not want Gloria and Patrick to be together from the beginning.

Now that she heard that her son was married, she was happy. After all, she did not have any prejudice about family backgrounds. As long as it was not the Tyler family, she felt she could accept it.

However, she was also angry. Her son had grown up, but she and her husband knew nothing about such a big deal as her son getting married.

Siran looked at Christopher. “Patrick is not in Summerwood City now. What should we

Chapter 338

do? What explanation should we give the Anne family?”

Christopher thought of the Anne family’s attitude and snorted softly. “Don’t they just want compensation? Anyway, Patrick isn’t here. Let’s wait and see!”

Siran nodded in agreement. “I think so too. However, honey, should we ask Freddie to investigate Patrick’s marriage?”

When Christopher heard his wife’s words, he hugged her indulgently. “You know what. kind of person Patrick is. If he finds out we’re investigating him and his wife, he’ll blow up

the roof when he returns! You should wait. When he comes back, he’ll tell us himself!”

Siran immediately nodded in agreement and looked at her husband with admiration. “Honey, you’ve thought it through. If Patrick finds out that we’re investigating this matter, he’ll think that we don’t believe him. He’ll probably be angry!”

Looking at his wife’s admiring gaze and childish look, Christopher smiled and could not help but lower his head to k*ss her forehead.

Like a little girl, Siran buried herself in his arms with a red face. She was as happy as a young girl.

Patrick had gone for two days and Violet was anxious for two days.

In the past two days, Patrick had completely lost contact. Violet was feeling uneasy and in a daze.

If Patrick were on an ordinary business trip, it would be fine. However, when she thought of the situation in Oceanfront City over the past two days, Violet was so worried that she couldn’t sit still.
