Lucy endured until six in the afternoon and it was finally the time for her to leave. She rushed out ofthe company building like an arrow and sighed, "Damn... Fuck...” She swore her way out.

Lucy had been an orphan since she was a child. She had lived on her own for more than 20 yearswithout any worries. And she was originally free and unrestrained, but she owed Patrick a favor. Thisway of paying back his favor was like killing her.

She went straight to the bar of the club, "Gary, serve me a big glass!" She yelled at the bartender.Lucy had been feeling so bored lately.

"Boss asked you to stay in the office and you don't have to risk your life in the underground world,why are you not willing to do so?" The bartender at the club looked at her with a smile.

"Are you willing to face a group of bitches every day?" Lucy glared at him fiercely.

Gary deliberately put on a lewd expression, "Well, those office ladies who worked on the top floor ofthe IP&G Group's building are beautiful. With so many beauties around me, I would be happy todie."

Lucy spat at him, "People like you can only die miserably without any beauties around!"

The people on the side of the club were very familiar with each other. They couldn't help but laughout loud when they heard that Lucy was joking with Gary.

"Why don't you tell Mr. Hopkins to get Lucy here..."

Lucy suddenly showed a ferocious look and cursed, "Boss's darling is not here. What the hell am Idoing here?" Lucy hated Patrick in her heart and she blamed Christina for her current situation.Gary shook his head and sympathized with her.

"... 1 didn't expect you to become a bodyguard and a follower one day."

The rest of them sighed in unison. "How poor!"

She was already so miserable but these people were still entertaining her. She slammed the tableand glanced at them coldly, "Shut up!"

Although these guys were strong and powerful, they knew well that Lucy was the toughest one andthey dare not mess with her.

At this moment, a poor little guy ran in and shouted anxiously, "Lucy, Mr. Hopkins wants you to goto the Shepherd family now..."

Lucy showed a fierce look in her eyes. She suddenly got up, grabbed his collar, and punched him.

It really hurt. The little guy who was beaten up was so innocent and even had bruises on his chest.However, he was still very dutiful,”...Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Hopkins asked you to go to the Shepherdfamily now to follow Miss Dickens..."

"Fuck you!" Lucy was so angry that she scared the messenger away.

Everyone in the club exclaimed, "Oh, poor Jack..."

Lucy was in a bad mood. She felt like she was being ordered around like a puppy. She gulped downtwo big glasses of cold beer to calm down a little. No matter how reluctant she was, she finally leftthe seat with a dark face under the eyes of Gary and the others.

"How can Christina bully a delicate little girl..."

It was really worthy for Lucy to hurry here. She hid behind a big tree in the green belt. She saw withher own eyes and heard with her own ears that Christina was angrily warning Brianna who wassquatting on the lawn...

"Brianna, stop pretending. I don't believe it is just a coincidence. Why on earth are you here all of asudden? Why are you crying here?"

"Did you kidnap Peter?"

“Tell me where Derek is!"

"Brianna, I don't know if you're really stupid or naive... I'm warning you now. If you dare to hurt myfamily members, I won't let you go!"

There was a lot of information in Christina's words. Brianna, the delicate girl, seemed to have beenfrightened by her and kept crying.

It was so noisy at the scene. The Shepherd family rushed over and Peter, who was unconscious onthe other side of the road, was carried into the ambulance.

The driver of the Hopkins family drove the Bugatti back and finally found Brianna. Ms. Hopkinsbelieved that it was Christina who had made Brianna cry and scolded her. However, Christina didnot take Ms. Hopkins seriously but looked at Brianna warily.

Soon, the traffic here became smooth. The Shepherd family rushed to the hospital while Christinacould only get back to the Hopkins family with Brianna...

Lucy had been watching all this coldly.

"l found Peter."

Everything quieted as usual in the night. Lucy called Patrick dutifully.” I've been following... At thattime, Peter looked a little strange and flustered. He almost ran out in a panic, feeling as if he hadbeen imprisoned some time ago. He happened to meet Charles's car passing by when he escapedfrom the road..."

Patrick, who was on the other end of the phone, listened quietly and said nothing.

Lucy knew that he had always been so strict and indifferent to his subordinates so she continued,"Peter is currently being sent to the hospital and he should be out of danger now. The Shepherdfamily has sent people to keep an eye on him. When he wakes up, we would know whathappened..."

She then added, "Christina is a little strange today."

"How?" Patrick asked back.

Slyness flashed through Lucy's eyes but she reported calmly, "She doesn’t seem to get along wellwith the other women in the Hopkins family..." That was the truth.

Christina didn't get along well with Ms. Hopkins, Judy, and even Brianna.

Lucy always reported truthfully and did things carefully, which always made the people she workedfor relieved.

However, she had her own thoughts.

She deliberately ignored some details.

Lucy had always disliked being someone else's bodyguard. This job was humiliating for her. Buttonight was different, she was so willing to follow Christina tonight...

According to her intuition, Christina must have hidden something.

Lucy sneaked into the Hopkins family very smoothly. In the dark, she saw the bright lights of theHopkins family's main residence. Several women were being angry at each other in the magnificentliving room

"Brianna should be in your car. Why did she suddenly appear on the lawn?" Christina showed a coldlook.

"We're questioning you now. Why did you make Brianna cry?"

"It's none of my business.”

"We got out of the car and went back to replace her. When we finally found her, she was crying andyou were the only one by her side. Do you still want to deny it?"

In the end, Senior Mr. Hopkins was angry that he finally told them to shut up. It ended up in vain.This kind of family feud was just a piece of cake so Lucy did not care about this at all. She continuedto follow Christina to the bedroom in the Eastern Garden.

Lucy found that Christina seemed to be very concerned about whether Charles's brother had wokenup.

After returning to her bedroom, she called Charles twice, "Is your brother awake?"

"Which hospital are you in, what is the ward number..." She seemed to want to go over and seePeter herself.

Lucy lay outside the balcony and could clearly hear Christina's voice. She could also see Christina'sanxious look under the bright light in the bedroom.

"The lights in this room are particularly dazzling." Lucy noticed a small thing.

She frowned and looked at the spacious bedroom. Christina seemed to have deliberately made allthe lights in the room brighter.

Then, Lucy saw something very strange.

"You said before that you knew the issues between Derek and Peter. Peter ran out of the road with astrange look tonight..."

"You're lying to me. You know nothing about them. You're just trying to trick me to Italy.”

Christina looked angry and even lost her temper at an Ancient Coin.

"Now that Peter has been found, what about Derek? Where is Derek? If you have any news abouthim, tell me immediately. Otherwise, I will throw you into the fire!"

[You're so stubborn!] An ethereal male voice echoed in the room.

[If you want to know the truth, I will tell you the truth. Derek is dead...]

"Nonsense!" When Christina heard the word "Dead", she froze and her eyes reddened. She grabbedthe coin and threw it out the window. She gritted her teeth, "Nonsense!"

[The full moon will appear tomorrow... ] The ethereal voice gradually faded and the Ancient Coinwas thrown into the darkness.

Lucy had never been so shocked. Was the rumor that Christina was mentally ill true? It was as brightas daytime in the room, and Christina sat on the bed and did not speak anything more.

Lucy frowned and subconsciously looked up at the night sky. A dark moon gradually appeared inthe dark clouds...
