Chapter 532
Being confined to a room, Christina felt stuffy and was full of resentment. She kept writing with a pen. S
he knew in ancient times, the feeling of the people in
big families who were punished to transcribe books.
She stayed up all night for several days in a row and finished copying Tao Te Ching 100 times.
She went to Northern Garden to hand over the large stack paper to Senior Mr. Hopkins.
She had been working so hard for half a month. However, the old man just glanced at them and said pe
rfunctorily, “Okay, get out.”
Christina was unwilling to leave directly, “Grandpa, don‘t you count them?”
“You don‘t dare to copy one less, do you?” Senior Mr. Hopkins glared at her, looking dignified, “If you d
are, I will punish you to copy it a hundred times more.”
“I‘ve counted it three times. It is just right.” Christina immediately retorted. Her hands were sore.
The old man snorted.
“… Have you known that you‘re wrong?”
Christina pulled a long face. She pursed her lips stubbornly, not saying a word.
It was obvious that she didn‘t admit that she was wrong.
The old butler beside her looked a little anxious. He thought that Christina really had to learn to be tactf
ul, lest she would be locked up for another half month.
“Grandpa, could you tell me something about
Brianna when she was a child?” Christina asked recklessly.
“Did she do anything weird when she was a child? Was she particularly violent?”
Senior Mr. Hopkins did not expect her to ask so suddenly. There were some things that he did not want
too many people to know. He was thinking about how to fool her when he saw
a small shadow coming towards them.
“… This cat is good–looking.”
The old man purposely said it to divert her attention.
Christina followed the old man‘s gaze and was surprised. Why did this black cat come toNorthern Garden with her? Did it really thought that it could come and leave the Hopkins family c
asually?
Why did you come with me?” Christina had been familiar with the cat for the half past month,
It walked gracefully and slowly. It glanced at Senior Mr. Hopkins and the old butler who were sitting and turned to look at Christina. Then it swung its tail, looking obviously contempt.
Senior Mr. Hopkins and the old butler could tell at a glance that the cat was quite intelligent. They did not have any taboos against black cats, but liked this spiritual creature.
“Rovy, do you think this cat looks like Little Black we raised before?”
Senior Mr. Hopkins suddenly became happy, like an old naughty boy, “Christina, bring this cat over and let me take a closer look.”
Christina was unwilling to hug the cat and said in a disgusted tone, “Grandpa, it‘s a wild cat. Besides, it‘
s not called Little Black. Its name is Earl.”
Earl.
A cat with a name must not be a wild cat.
“That‘s a good name… Where is it from?” The old man thought for a moment, “Is it from the Shepherd f
amily?”
He was planning to let Charles send him the cat as a gift.
However, Christina cursed,… “I don’t know which bastard raises it.”
Earl, the black cat, immediately bent down and screamed at her, showing its sharp teeth and claws. Its tail was taut and it was ready to attack
Christina glared at it angrily.
Senior Mr. Hopkins looked at Christina and the cat. He was surprised and praised, “Well, it is very loyal.”
Christina did not understand why the unknown black cat had been following her.
She had just regained her freedom, and Crystal calledher that night... “I‘m now studying western dessertsin France. I‘m in a small group. There are more than a dozen students...”
Christina had never thought that Crystal would go abroad to study and learn cooking,
“I don‘t want to work in the company all my life. It‘s good to learn to make western desserts.”
Crystal, on the other end of the phone, sounded very calm, and she was even smiling.
Christina was in a complicated mood. There were a lot of things that she wanted tonovelbin
know, “Crystal, why do you suddenly want to study abroad?”
“Also, how could you… Did something happen before? Why did you miscarry?”
No matter how hard Crystal tried to arm herself when someone mentioned the miscarriage, she collaps
ed instantly. Her eyes were red and she choked with sobs. She hung up hurriedly, “My, my friend called
me. I‘ll contact you again. Don‘t worry about me.”
Christina knew that she shouldn‘t have asked that and she sighed.
She just didn‘t want Crystal to shoulder the burden alone. She wanted to share Crystal‘s worries.
But Crystal didn’t seem to be able to get over it.

Christina figured out that Crystal called her with a foreign public phone. It was quite popular to use publi
c phones abroad. According to this number, she might be able to find Crystal‘s current location.
Thinking of this, Christina immediately took out a pen and paper and copied down the public phone.
“… Have Crystal called you recently?”
Although she was unwilling, she still informed Chandler.
“Did she contact you?”
Chandler‘s voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, as if he had a cold and
was not feeling well. He was very excited and asked, “What did she say? Did she say where she is now
and when she will be back?”
“She should not be back for a short time.” Christina was telling him the truth but not provoking him.
Chandler was holding his phone tightly. He had already guessed it, but when he heard this, he still felt
a dull pain.
After a long silence, he asked in a low and hoarse voice,… “Did she, did she say why she suddenly ab
orted the child?”
This was what Chandler couldn‘t figure out the most.
Crystal was so eager for the birth of the child. How could such a gentle and kind woman suddenly decide to go abort? She had not discussed it with him at all!
“Maybe it was an accident, or maybe she was tired of dealing with you and Erica.”
Christina was very rational and she emphasized, “No matter what, your Stephenson family is not
qualified to blame her. Don‘t forget that you didn‘t want that child from the beginning.”
“Where is she now?” Chandler tried to calm down. He had to find her. He had to ask her personally.
“I don‘t know, but…”
Before Christina could
finish her sentence, Chandler felt that she was deliberately making things difficult for him, “Crystal is no
t you. She lives abroad alone. She is not as strong as you!”
“Yes, Brianna and Crystal are both weak women. All the bad things were done by me.”
Christina roared angrily and hung up.
She wanted to say that she didn‘t know
where Crystal was now, but she copied the phone number of the public booth abroad. He could check t
he address.
“I shouldn‘t have sent the number to his WhatsApp.” She was a little annoyed.
Chandler did receive a string of numbers from her a long time ago, but he didn‘t know what it was.
Christina had not returned to the master bedroom for half a month, and she still
didn‘t know how to face Patrick. Last time he asked her to apologize to Brianna, but she refused.
Christina pushed the door open, and Patrick seemed to have
been waiting for her in the room for a long time. His sharp eyes fell on her, “Is that black cat‘s name Ear
l?”
Christina did not expect him to ask about this. It was probably the servant who told him.
.
“Are you sure that black cat‘s name is Earl?” Patrick stepped forward and asked repeatedly. He
seemed to care it very much.
“Yes.”
Christina didn‘t want to be treated as mentally ill by him. She could really hear what the cat said,
en
“Do you know the Strozzi family?” Patrick was busy dealing with
this thing a period of time ago. He was deep in thought and he told her in a low
voice, “It is said that the leader of the Strozzi family also has a black cat called Earl.”
