Chapter 557
It was 2:23 am.
On her way to the Hopkins family, arge area of high buildings that face south shining in the quiet
night looked eerie.
She received in the afternoon the news that the club had been out of touch with Patrick, who had taken
his private ne with several other people to fly around a small ind in the south Antic.
Though it was midnight at home, she had worked with the club to figure out how to get in touch with
Patrick.
However, “Well, bad thingse in pairs.” LUCY muttered to herself. She had heard of the current
situation with amazement after her arrival at the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family.
“Was that old witch in paralysis now?”
The “Old witch” was obviously Ms. Hopkins. Though Christina didn’t mind it, it was impolite to talk in
this manner in front of Senior Mr. Hopkins.
She should speak ill of the one who had taken her misfortune.
Senior Mr. Hopkins and his butler, feeling offended, looked at her with a sullen face. They did not
understand why Christina had to ask this tall, thin, short-haired woman for help. What they knew was
that she wascking in decency.
“What an ill-bred woman!”
Judy saw Senior Mr. Hopkins was irritated, thus throwing a scolding look at Christina.
There was no time for the talk of decency, and they would talk about Ms. Hopkinster, “My sons are
missing. Go find them first.”
Hearing it, LUCY stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, “Did Brianna do it?”
“Maybe, but she is drowning in tears and can’t give me any useful information.”
“No clue from the surveince video?”
“At least we have found nothing from the cameras in the nursery. As for others, we are checking them
now. It’s a huge work.”
“You know nothing about it. I’ll ask the club to help check them.”
Christina and LUCY talked and scurried to the monitor room in the main house, leaving the rest behind.
They were annoyed by being ignored, and especially their conversation. It seemed that they had
already concluded that
Brianna was guilty,
“Follow them up.”
Senior Mr. Hopkins said in a low voice. He didn’t trust Lucy.
Charles and Chandler, who knew her very well, walked behind him, and Charles whispered to reassure
him, “Grandpa, Lucy works for Patrick. She is a strong woman.”.
“Is Christina so powerful now?”
He did not look back but walked steadily towards the main house with his walking stick.
“We don’t know why they became so intimate,” Charles admitted but spected in his mind that it was
probably because they were of the same kind.
It was rare to see someone get acquainted with Patrick’s men. They were too arrogant to defy Senior
Mr. Hopkins sometimes.
“Look at here. Did you bring your brains to work? Didn’t you notice the obvious shift of cameras, you
idiot?”
Lucy was scorning the workers responsible for checking the videos.
Christina brought her in, so the eight male workers could only bear it in silence.
Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned on the talent’ that his grandson Patrick had specially trained.
A total of four cameras were installed in the nursery. In the video, the two kids had been ying on the
bed until they disappeared. They just vanished.
“It is probably that someone hacked into the surveince system and controlled the blind spots of the
cameras.”
It was not surprising that the servants of the Hopkins family did not notice the difference. The four
cameras had rotated at an ultra-slow speed to change the monitored area, thus changing the blind
spots.
The twins did not disappear all of a sudden but were taken away by following the changing blind spots
“This model of camera can’t be steered by remote control.” Lucy meditated. “Were they controlled by
extra devices? What could it be that can enable the urate movements of the cameras and be
installed unnoticeably?”
She could not think it out for the time being.
At least, it was true that the twins had been taken away deliberately.
Senior Mr. Hopkins stood outside the door while Charles and Chandler went inside out of curiosity.
They also saw that the cameras in the nursery moved extremely slowly to change the blind spots after
Lucy reminded them.
Within 15 minutes, she had made things clearer. They were a little relieved, believing that they would
find the kids
soon.
Senior Mr. Hopkins changed his attitude towards Lucy.
He gave an order to the butler that all people should cooperate with Lucy.
20 minutester, LUCY, who was sitting in the main seat of the surveince room, looked grimmer.
As she was phoning members of the club, she cursed, “What the shit are you talking about? Holes at
the corner of the wall? Do you think the house of the Hopkins family is as shabby as yours? Do you
mean they climbed out on their own?”
“The boss’s sons were only a year old. Do you think they were geniuses and could escape so many
cameras on their own? There must be someone luring them into doing so. You idiot! Check the
cameras outside the wall. Someone must have taken them away.”
Lucy’s words set other people’s nerves on edge.
The Hopkins family continued to search inside the house but found nothing.
“What did they say?”
Christina walked up to her, her mind fully loaded, and asked. She trusted her and intended not to
disturb her, but the phone call made her restless.
“I don’t know.”
Her answer was strange. Something confused her, and she was looking for an answer.
“What does ‘I don’t know’ mean?”
Infuriated by her attitude, Christina pped the back of her head.
Lucy frowned in pain with a darkening face. She turned to re at her. “Under what circumstances will
your son be happily led away by someone?” Her youngest son would burst into tears right away if a
stranger touched him.
She had heard of how difficult it was to raise the twins in the Hopkins family,
“Brianna had held the babies once.” Christina recalled and muttered to herself.
“No, it wasn’t Brianna who took your babies away. She would like to do things alone without too much
consideration. This time it was different.”
She was surprised to see that Lucy eliminated Brianna from the list of suspects within an hour.
“Really?”
“A person with schizophrenia sticks to her style of behavior.”

Lucy yed a video clip and pointed to the screen. “At 6: 13 pm, Brianna did pass by the nursery. From
her expression, we could tell that there must have been something else in the nursery that surprised
her other than the babies and the servant who was usually there.”
Even if she hadn’t done it, she must know something.
“Get these maids here and ask if they noticed anything unusual at that time.” She looked over to the
person behind her.
The maid came here soon. “There was nothing unusual at 6 o’clock. We just fed the young masters.
You know, they didn’t like us to touch them, so they yed on the bed by themselves for a while and
went to sleep.”
It was not a satisfying answer. There must be something wrong that these silly people didn’t notice.
ording to the clip, Brianna was surprised by something on the upper left side of the room. Lucy
drew a big circle on the n of the nursery with her fingers. “What was ced here at that time?
Everything, living or dead.”
“A unicorn plush toy bought by Senior Mr. Hopkins, Lego building blocks, a puzzle board, and arge
red tumbler from Mrs. Hopkins.” In other words, that corner was mainly for children’s toys.
Lucy was a little annoyed. “No, no, not these.”
How could these toys surprise her?
Christina thought for a moment. “Earl often squats on the head of the tumbler.” She had suddenly
pushed the tumbler several times, but Earl had reacted quickly and managed to handle her attack.
“What?” Lucy turned to look at her. “What’s that?”
“A cat.”
She gave a simple description.
Only then did the memorye to the maid. “That’s right. The ck cat was also in the room. It
squatted on the top of the tumbler and did not move.”
“It’s my sons’ new nanny, a ck cat. Its name is Earl.”
