Female Novel
Chapter 324
Without saying anything, Patrick got up and walked towards the door.
Lucy raised her eyebrows, winked at her colleague, William, and said in a hoarse voice, "What does he
mean by just leaving?"
"Suspension, you'd better get it back as soon as possible."
"Damn it!"
When her boss was already out of her sight, she immediately shouted angrily, "Damn it." Recently,
everything went wrong with her.
"We are sure that the USB drive is not in Derek's hands. Who else was capable to snatch it from us?
And he even took it away one step before me... Shit!"
The club was closed today, and Lucy's cursing echoed in the spacious space.
William and other colleagues all felt sorry for her. Lucy was so ruthless that she seldom had a setback.
It seemed that he who made her like this was not simple.
"Who would expect this to become so complicated..."
William tried to comfort her, but Lucy became even angrier. "Who's to blame? At first, we agreed to
fake a car accident and a dead fetus. We could take the medical staff away and cremate the dead
fetus, so no one would find out."
"Now think about what we have done! So stupid! No wonder that Derek had been holding on from the
beginning. On the day Christina woke up from the operation, she was suspicious about it..."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. "It was all because he didn't agree to make it a real car
accident. He claimed that it should just look like a car accident and the baby died from it, but Christina
didn't get hurt at all. Everyone would know there's definitely something wrong!"
"And he even asked us to record the operation. What's wrong with him asking us to shot a video of a
woman giving birth? Now he thought it's all our fault that the USB drive was missing."
William knew very well that Lucy had grown up with men so she had a tougher personality than men.
Seeing her gritting her teeth and scolding, he suddenly felt like laughing. "Mr. Hopkins was going to
accompany her in childbirth. Isn't that even more troublesome?"
"Why are you laughing!"
Lucy glared at them angrily. Finally, her fierce gaze stopped on Barbara, who was timid. Barbara was
kidnapped here, but she was useless to them.
Barbara had been absent-minded. It was the first time she had met someone like them. Looking at
Patrick leaving, she became more and more nervous.
Now, Lucy even glared at her angrily with a cold and warning voice.
"Miss Parker, I'm in trouble now. It seems that I can only ask you to carefully recall who you've been in
contact with recently and who broke into your house and took the USB drive away this morning!"
Derek had sensed that something was wrong long before, but he couldn't find any evidence.
If the USB drive was in his hands, it meant that Christina would soon know about everything... Then
she would be the one that ended up in misery!
"I... I don't know."
Barbara tried to calm herself down, but in front of them, her face turned pale and she stammered, "I did
know the contents in the USB drive. But I promise I won't tell anyone. I... I don't want the USB drive. I
just happened to pick it up. I didn't mean to hide it."
Lucy narrowed her eyes and looked at Barbara. Her eyes were like those of a cat.
"Miss Parker, I know you're not lying, but what do you think I should do with you?"
"You've already known everything, and our Boss didn't give us a clear indication of how to deal with
you. In a broad sense, we are kind of colleagues. However, Miss Parker, your work in the IP&G Group
is very polished, but here, we are very different..."
"What do you want to do to me?" Barbara panicked at the thought of what they had done.
"Are you afraid?"
Seeing her timid look, Lucy said in arrogance and looked straight at her, "Miss Parker, you're smart,
and you know we're not nice people. Besides, don't expect anyone to help you. He's been hard on
Christina, not to mention you."
Lucy knew what Barbara was thinking about and that she was relieved when she picked up the USB
drive. Barbara couldn't be so stupid as to reveal everything. People were ultimately selfish.novelbin
Barbara was so panicked that she said stiffly, "I will cooperate with you."
"Go to the group to ask for a long vacation for Miss Parker and arrange a new place for her to stay. I
think she might have to stay with us for a while."
Lucy ordered the other two men with cold eyes and watched Barbara get up and leave stiffly.
"Actually, she didn't dare to tell anyone else even if we let her go."
William looked at Barbara's pitiful face and wanted to say something nice. But Lucy was in a bad mood
now, her face turned cold and she cursed fiercely, "I've worked so hard to get rid of Derek and the
clues, and now for no reason, someone just showed up to mess around with me. Damn it... Why should
I always be the unlucky one? If I am to be unlucky, everyone should suffer with me!"
William knew that she was being pushed into a corner. Patrick had never treated his subordinates
differently whether they were male or female.
However, for the first time, they saw that Lucy didn't accomplish her task perfectly. They laughed
teasingly. "It seems that I should try to get on good terms with Miss Dickens next week. Lucy, please
don't appear in front of her, or you'll get scolded again. Hahaha..."
Lucy's face was extremely gloomy.
"When I find out the one who took the USB drive, I will kill him!"
[In Apartment 402]
When Christina finished her takeout and sat on the sofa in her small living room with a male razor in
her right hand, she was in a daze.
She became a little angry, then she threw the razor on the side table.
She got up and walked around the small apartment, getting more and more agitated. She looked up
and glanced at Room 502 upstairs.
She picked up her phone and wanted to call him.
After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't call.
She wondered why she always had to take the initiative to call him.
In winter, night fell early. She got up at noon today and it became dark very soon. She didn't want to eat
takeout for dinner, so she put on a white down jacket, changed her shoes and went out.
She wanted to have a bowl of noodles at a restaurant outside the neighborhood, then went to the mall
to buy a laptop.
Before she left, she looked at the small black USB drive on her TV cabinet. She didn't know what it
was. Maybe it's just a prank. She moved to this apartment without adding furniture or even a computer.
There was no way for her to read the USB drive now.
There was a heater in the apartment, so she sensed the huge temperature difference as soon as she
went out.
She stomp and closed the door.
"Miss Dickens, are you going out?"
She has lived in the community for a while and has known some residents here. Probably it's an old
district, they were simple and warm-hearted.
She could not pretend to be enthusiastic and just nodded at them. "I'm going out for dinner."
"It's cold and windy tonight... Miss Dickens, you've been living here for so long, but I don't think I've
seen any of your families. Have they all gone abroad?"
"Are you married now? If not, you have to fight for the one who is suitable. My niece is about your age.
She has already given birth to two children."
When she got out of the elevator, her head was in a mess and she whispered to herself, "No, I don't
have a child."
