Chapter 503
Christina came out of the bathroom after a bath. Her long ck hair was curled up. There were some
drops of water on the ends of her hair. A thinyer of water steam moistened her white and tender
neck, making her look a little more charming and sexier than her appearance during the day.
Her skin was fine and milky, and she was wearing a long white bathrobe. Her figure was slender, and
she stretched out her handszily. At the same time, she removed the clip gathering her long hair, and
the long ck hair scattered around her shawl.
"I didn''t expect grandpa to be so open-minded. I was almost touched on the spot."
Christina was in a good mood, and her beautiful face showed a smile. Grandpa did not me her after
knowing that she caused trouble in the Stephenson family. He even scolded Ms. Hopkins. The most
important thing was he gave her another bottle of osmanthus wine.
When she was chatting with some socialites, she heard many of themin that their elders
favored someone more, and some of these elders simply went extremes. In contrast, her grandpa was

very wise, at least he did not keep scolding her for hitting Chandler.
Patrick nced at her, "Grandpa has not suffered senile dementia yet." His grandfather was quite wise
and saw things as they were and knew right and wrong very well.
He walked over and habitually wanted to take ab tob her long hair. He didn''t know when he
had developed such a habit of fiddling with her hair.
"Go take a shower now." Christina did not fancy him like this and pushed him into the bathroom.
Patrick took her advice and let her push him away. Then he said calmly, "You said just now you were
very grateful to grandpa... Christina, you should be thanking me."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked straight into her eyes, as if his passionate gaze could
swallow her up.
Patrick stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to the side of the big bed. He spoke in a deep and
low voice bluntly, "I''m going in to take a bath now. You, lie there now and wait on the bed. Wait to
please your husband."
Christina stood outside the bathroom door, blushed.
She was wondering whether she had recently built up Patrick''s appetite. As all he could think of in their
bedroom at night was having sex with her.
Christina got into the soft quilt and rolled a few times childishly on the big bed.
She was wondering if they should restrain their desires.
At this moment, the phone at the bedside lit up and vibrated a few times. There was a new text
message.
Christina was thinking about sexual pleasures only, and her mind was in turmoil. She then reached out
to take the phone and nced at it casually.
She was shocked to see the words at the beginning.
She quickly got up from the bed, took off her nightgown, changed into a casual blue outfit, and
immediately ran downstairs.
"... You just publically sneaked in like this."
Christina went to the fish pond in the back garden downstairs, Eastern Garden. It was veryte at night,
and no one was guarding this side. The dim yellow lights on the garden path were on, and the lights
were far away. Under the dim night, she could still recognize the tall Lucy at a nce.
Although the house of the Hopkins family was not a pce with many rooms and plenty of spaces, it
was also heavily guarded and recently installed with cameras everywhere.
It was not the first time that Lucy had sneaked into the Hopkins family in the middle of the night.
Lucy raised her eyebrows and said without shame, "So what if I were caught sneaking in?" The
prerequisite was that these people could catch her. Hmph, she was quite confident.
Thinking that this ruthless woman was Patrick''s valuable help, there must be something extraordinary
about her.
Thinking of this, Christina scolded unhappily, "Gossip girl, tattletale."
"What?"
Lucy''s expression immediately changed and her tone became serious.
Of course, Christina was not afraid of her, "Patrick knew about my visit at the Stephenson family so
soon. Didn''t you report it to him?"
Lucy looked cold and warned her, "I am warning you, don''t insult my professional ethics!"
Seeing she was so serious, Christina had originally thought that Lucy''s sense of morality was zero.
"I''m sorry." It was probably some other bastard who went to inform Patrick the first time. Good news
never went out, and bad news spread around quickly. Ms. Hopkins knew it all.
"Have you been scolded by the boss?" Lucy suddenly asked her excitedly.
Christina did not show any expression and was silent.
Lucy thus knew that Patrick didn''t say anything to criticize Christina. Suddenly, she tutted, "Christina,
you''re such a sinner."
"Look, all the women around you don''t like you and want you to die in a way a Japanese warrior dies,
to answer for your sins."
The night wind was cool and chilly. Lucy was never a weak woman. She stood upright in the night wind.
Her bright eyes became more shining under the moonlight and she was very enthusiastic in scolding
Christina.
"...Mr. Hopkins in the Hopkins family really goes to extremes. If you''re willing to spend money, I can
help you punish her slightly." Lucy had already heard that Ms. Hopkins liked making things difficult for
Christina.
Christina felt a little cold. She folded her arms around her chest and shrank her neck.
Christina didn''t care much about Ms. Hopkins. She joked in the cold wind, "Once little fish and shrimp
are thrown into the hot water. They turn red so quickly."
Lucy raised her eyebrows and roamed over her.
Then Lucy smiled, "Well, let''s talk about the big fish now." As she spoke, she handed Christina a kraft
paper file from her back pocket near her waist.
Lucy said, "Brianna is hiding so deep... This shark in the deep sea."
Christina immediately untied the string on the file and took out two photos from it.
One was taken when Brianna was holding the phone, and the other was taken when Chandler was
holding the phone.
After all, Christina did not know how to investigate those things. So she asked doubtfully, "What does
this mean?"
Lucy nced at her and exined slowly, "This morning, Brianna sent a picture of B-scan
ultrasonography to Chandler''s phone. Then your good friend Crystal was found out by the Stephenson
family that she was pregnant, and they had a big fight. Then you hit Chandler, and Ms. Hopkins
Christina was stunned and looked carefully at the two ordinary photos.
Could such a simple start trigger so many reactions following?
"How did Brianna know that Crystal was pregnant?"
Christina did not understand it. Crystal''s pregnancy was a secret and very few people should know.
Crystal kept telling Christina that she wanted to find a chance to talk to Chandler in person, but
Chandler was affected by a picture of B-scan ultrasonography, which was presented to him so
suddenly.
"Not only did she know that Crystal was pregnant, but she also got a formal picture of B-scan
ultrasonography from the hospital. She quietly nted the seed of disharmony among them. This was
indeed a smart trick," Lucy said slowly. It seemed that she did not dare to underestimate the enemy
either. She then said, "Byparison, that Ms. Hopkins is really a small fish or shrimp."
Judging by Christina''s expression, she was not so convinced, "Are you sure that it was Brianna who
sent the picture of B-scan ultrasonography to Chandler?"
How could Brianna, the daughter of a rich family, cause so much trouble?
This was a provocation to Lucy''s professionalism. She red at Christina and pointed at the photo of
Brianna holding the phone with her finger.
"I took this from the internal cameras of the Hopkins family. "Thanks to Patrick also, as early on he had
asked people to install arge number of cameras in the Hopkins family.
"Brianna has never used this phone before. You can look at the time in the lower right corner. When
Brianna used this new phone, Chandler just happened to receive a new message on the other side."
"Although the picture on the screen can''t be seen clearly, I''m not entirely sure Brianna sent a picture of
B-scan ultrasonography by phone, but the time is exactly the same. Chandler immediately quarreled
with Crystal after receiving the picture of B-scan ultrasonography from a stranger."
Lucy looked at Christina with deep eyes. Then a slight smile appeared on Lucy''s lips. She said slowly,
"Christina, there are not so many coincidences in this world!"
Christina was a little shocked, which was resulted not only from what Brianna had done but also from
what Lucy had said. "There were not so many coincidences in this world." Patrick once said so too.
Lucy worked with Patrick and they two experienced many things. Her experiences with Patrick could
notpare to what they had experienced. It was no wonder that Lucy and the others looked down on
her and didn''t feelfortable with her being Patrick''s wife. Indeed, there was a dramatic difference
between her and Patrick.
[Only when you were with outstanding people did you know how insignificant you were.]
Christina suddenly felt a sense of inferiority. She said in a sullen tone, "Then do you think why Brianna
did this?"
Lucy shrugged, "How would I know, but she seems to like to hurt people around you."
"What do you think of it if I tell Patrick about this directly?"
Faced with Lucy, Christina felt guilty. Now she really felt that she was not as good as others. She felt
that she was not as smart as others.
Lucy frowned and raised a question, "But it seems strange. Brianna has been in the Hopkins family for
so many years. She has never made trouble, and she has never hurt members of the Hopkins family."
"My suggestion is not to rm the enemy for the time being."
"These two photos are just indirect evidence. With the boss''s temper, he will definitely send someone
to investigate them thoroughly. He will send us to do it. It''s inconvenient to do things with too many
people. Brianna can hide so deep in the Hopkins family. If she finds out, our effort will be in vain. So far,
she doesn''t seem to have done anything outrageous."
Christina interrupted immediately, "Who said she didn''t do anything outrageous? Once in Japan,
Brianna held the discarded syringe from the Infectious Disease Division and stabbed me with it. I
almost got killed by that."
Lucy looked at her in surprise, "Really?" Judging by Christina''s ability to react, it was not easy for
ordinary people to hurt her.
"If that''s the case, why didn''t you tell the boss?"
Christina said in a frigid tone, "There''s no evidence. Besides, others in the world are like you. The first
reaction they have is that it''s impossible."
In retrospect, even Christina herself felt incredible. Logically speaking, she and Brianna should not
have any big grudges or serious conflicts. Brianna should have no reason to harm her.
Lucy also found this strange. Brianna had acted under Patrick Hopkins''s nose for so many years, but
he didn''t even find out her actions?
It waste at night. Lucy calcted the time and it was almost time for her to leave.
Before she left, he said to Christina, "By the way, your good friend Crystal is now homeless. She is in
the Central Square of Crescent Garden, sits pitifully by the pool with her suitcase. She sits all night."
Christina was standing by the fish pond. All the fish in the quiet night sank to the bottom of the pond. It
was quiet all around. In the distance, Lucy quickly climbed over the wall of the Hopkins family.
Christina was still standing there. Under the dim night, she looked nervous and concerned.
At this moment, Patrick came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a blue nightgown, and his short hair
was dripping with water. The water dripped down his muscr chest. He frowned and looked at the
empty bed.
As soon as he came out, he couldn''t find Christina.
