Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door impatiently.

Christina was stunned and could not react. She saw the man in front of her frown slightly with histhoughtful blue eyes.

"Miss Dickens, are you in there? Is it convenient for you to open the door now?" The man outsidethe room seemed anxious as if he couldn't wait to break in.

"The situation is somewhat unique. We need to search your room immediately.”

Christina was alarmed. She did not respond, examing at the man in front of her with morecomplicated eyes.

She lowered her voice. "Eric, they..."

"What are you doing?"

Before she finished her words, she was dragged into the suite.

When the hotel manager rushed in, the crowd behind him was stunned.

"Why you barging in!"

On the big white bed, a woman was laying down and asleep, covered with a wide lavender blanket.At this moment, her face sank and she glared at them with an extremely irritated expression.

"Miss Dickens, I'm really sorry.”

As a male, the hotel manager didn't dare to look directly at the bed. He tilted his head andexplained in an awkward voice, "It happened suddenly. We need to search your room. I hope youcan cooperate with us."

Bang.

Christina reached out her right hand, grabbed a porcelain ornament from the nightstand, anddropped it

"Get out, get out!"

Her voice was so angry that her fair arms and shoulders were exposed without the blanket. It was asif she had suddenly woken up from a deep sleep. She was so angry for her naked body beingwatched

Want me to cooperate with you? No way!

Perceiving her bad temper, the five hotel staff who followed in immediately looked at theirmanager.

The manager's face was a little complicated, and he looked around suspiciously.

He lowered his voice and changed the title for Christina. "Young Madam, we were only instructed byMr. Hopkins. Please don't make trouble for us.”

The hotel belonged to the Hopkinses. They are at least by her side.

Christina was in hesitation when she heard this.

The manager was professional at observation. Noticing her hesitation, he immediately raised afawning smile and continued to speak softly, "Young madam, we just found a suspicious man in thehotel's surveillance. We are worried that he has entered your suite. For your safety, please, we needyour cooperation.”

"I'm safe. I don't need it." Her voice was clear and she refused.

As she spoke, she yelled at them with a dark face. "You didn't care my friends who were beingtreated unfairly before. And now you come to my place without my admission. How do you managethe hotel? I'll go downstairs after changing clothes. You owe me an explanation!”

"Get out, get out!"

People standing there looked embarrassed. They had heard of this young lady, even those whodrink with Charles feared her temper.

"Young Madam, we'll go outside. Please inform us immediately if anything happens.”

They had to leave her room.

Christina clutched the blanket with her left hand and felt relieved.

But then, outside the corridor, there came a sudden rush of steps...

"Get in and search!"

That order startled not only people outside, but Christina, who's now not able to control her fear.
