Patrick warned her to stop, but Christina pushed him away and went out.
When she returned to her Apartment 402, the door was open.
She walked in and found that Patrick had left.
Casually, she took a stroll around Apartment 502, and he was not there.
At that moment, the phone in her coat pocket rang again, and she answered it warily, "Why did you
give me the USB drive?"
"You sounds nervous.What happened?"
It was Crystal who called her.
Christina was surprised for a second before she noticed that she was a little neurotic.She opened her
hand.
There was a USB drive in it.
And she became more and more serious.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Crystal asked with concern, "Did you meet someone?"
Christina came back to her senses and gave a far-fetched explanation, " I met a strange man just
now.He called me sister for no reason.I'm the only daughter.I feel that he's a scoundrel."
"Nowadays, there are all kinds of swindlers in society.You should pay more attention."
Crystal immediately reminded her.
Christina was absent-minded.She didn't think that man was a liar.
His Chinese was not very fluent.
Judging from his clothes, figure and appearance, he looked like a European.
His cold but elegant temperament indicated that he disdained to lie.
The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat as she looked at the USB drive in her palm.
"Christina, actually, I, I Have something to tell you today..."
On the other end of the phone, Crystal was in an awkward and contradictory mood.
She did not pay attention to Christina's strange behavior but wanted to share a big thing with her good
friend drawing.
"I, l and Chandler now..""
"He bullied you?" Christina replied.
"No,"
Crystal was nervous as if she had done something wrong and said hesitantly in a low voice, "I'm at the
municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs now...
"What?" Christina was thinking about something else, so she didn't hear Crystal's whisper clearly.
It seemed that Crystal was in a hot place which was noisy.
Chandler's voice came.
"Geoffrey called.Do you want to talk to him?"
Then, Crystal shouted in shock, "No, don't tell him!"
"Crystal, what sort of attitude is that?? You want to go back on your word?"
Chandler seemed to be very dissatisfied.
After that, they had a detailed conversation.
Christina couldn't hear them clearly.
After a while, Crystal seemed to accidentally touch End Call and then hang up.
When Christina returned to her apartment, she was still alone in the cheerless room.
There was no computer in her apartment, so she couldn't read the data on the USB drive
immediately.She casually placed the small black USB drive on the TV counter.She took her phone to
order a takeout.Then she remembered Patrick.
Thinking of him, Christina was in a mess.
"He knew that every time he met her, he would lose control of his emotions, but he still gets close to
her..."
The word "Rest" was hanging at the entrance of the high-class private boxing club, and at this time,
several staff in the bar of the entertainment area gathered together to badmouth their boss.
The top shooting coach in the club poured a large glass of cold beer and handed it to the woman in
front of him.
He laughed heartily and asked curiously, "Lucy, I heard you scare Miss Dickens?"
"William, don't count it on me."
Picking up the big glass of German beer, she took a big gulp.
Then she raised her voice and explained solemnly, "I was ordered to threaten her to participate in the
group's advertising audition and keep her away from other men.Do you think I want to do these stupid
things? It's all..."
"Don't say it"
The shooting coach suddenly winked at her and motioned her to shut up.
Lucy was an acute intelligent person.She immediately pretended to be her usual cold and arrogant
expression and continued to drink as if she had not noticed anything.
At the same time, a tall bodyguard in a black uniform came over from the door, "Mr.Hopkins is here.He
wants to see Lucy now."
Lucy raised her eyebrows at William opposite her and whispered in a hoarse voice, "I haven't finished
my task yet."
"Where's the USB drive?"
The cold and deep voice, accompanied by heavy steps, walked towards them step by step.
Lucy's expression was twisted, and William whispered to her, "Good luck".
"Boss, I heard you're not feeling well.Didn't you get off the plane last night and go to rest?"
She put down the beer glass, turned around, raised her face with a smile, and pretended to speak to
him easily.
Without the expression, Patrick stood a meter away from her.
LUCY couldn't smile anymore.
Even a fool could notice that he was in a bad mood.
William, an American shooting coach, was a nice guy.
Seeing that Patrick was about to lose his temper, he immediately say something to lighten the
atmosphere, "Mr.Hopkins, let me report.Miss Dickens's shooting and boxing practice is very good..."
"Don't mention her to me!" The expressionless man was instantly furious.
Lucy and William looked at each other.Well, it really pissed him off.
"Where's the USB drive?"
Patrick's face was a little gloomy, but he gave a final dispatch with a calm voice, "I told you last time
that if you couldn't find it, then you would disappear with it."
"I didn't say I couldn't find it." Lucy retorted.
She knew very well how inhumane Patrick was to his incompetent subordinates.
"Bass, I'll tell you about the USB drive later.I should tell you about Derek first."
To Lucy, Derek was a man with beautiful blue eyes.But he was an important figure to her boss.
"Derek has been looking into our affairs, so I followed your instructions to lead him, who was in the
way, abroad.But later, I found out that he went to the United States not because he fell into my trap, but
because he had something to do there." This man named Derek was not easy to deal with at all.
Lucy had secretly battle with him several times, and every time she felt that she had won, the result
was inexplicable.
"He found out about you, including your previous life in the United States, your craniotomy, and...the
grudge between the Hopkins family and the Dickens family"
When she said that, Lucy paused.They all knew that if Derek knew about these things, it meant that
Christina would soon know.
"It seems that Miss Dickens will hate you even more."
Finally, Lucy added recklessly.William's expression became serious.He and Lucy were colleagues who
had risked their lives for many years.He was really worried that their boss would vent to his anger on
her.
Indeed, Patrick looked very terrible.
Fortunately, he was always scrupulous in separating business from personal feelings.
Lucy seemed to know his temper very well and shrugged, "Okay, the report about Derek is over.Let me
talk about the USB drive now:"
She couldn't take out the USB drive.
"I found a woman."
She looked calm and strode towards the storage room as if she was bringing someone over.
Seeing her teasing expression, William hurriedly followed her, grabbed her, and reminded her, "Lucy,
don't play tricks in front of him.If you piss him off, you won't be well."
"You think everyone can piss him off?" She was not worried.
The corners of her lips curled into a playful sneer, "Only what he cares about can make him angry."
She mocked herself.
"Don't worry, I don't dare to kidnap his darling."
As she spoke, she pulled a woman out of a private room and untied the black gauze covering her eyes.
"Miss Parker, it's time to return what you took from our boss." Barbara panicked.
She had been at home for the weekend, but someone suddenly broke in and took her away by force.
Looking at the familiar club in front of her and the man in the booth diagonally opposite her, she was
even more surprised and speechless.
Patrick frowned slightly, as if he was also surprised that Lucy had kidnapped Barbara.
"When Derek took Steven away from the hospital that day, Steven hid the USB drive in the corner of
the hospital.After that, I checked the security cameras of the nearby area repeatedly.I noticed that Miss
Parker happened to be traveling back and forth to the hospital at the same time.Her expression was as
if she had picked up a hot potato."
Lucy looked straight at Barbara and said in a flat voice, "Miss Parker, I guess you've already seen the
video of the operation on the USB drive."
Being stared at by her, Barbara looked flustered.
"Where's the USB drive?"
The man who had been silent suddenly spoke.
Barbara had never experienced such an interrogation posture, nor had she seen Patrick's cold and
almost heartless eyes.His eyes were colder and harsher than when he was at the company.
Lucy glanced at Barbara.
She felt that this ordinary woman must have been scared silly.
Their boss was never a kind person.
"Miss Parker, please return our USB drive immediately"
Lucy was in a good mood today, so she eased the atmosphere for Barbara.
However, Barbara might have been really shocked.Her throat was dry and she did not speak.She
looked at the strange Patrick with a blank mind.
Suddenly, she remembered what Cecilia had said, "Patrick has a habit of hiding his favorite things.He
can't share them with anyone"
"You think he's tolerant of you, but that's just indifference.Only what he really cares about will affect his
emotions."
"Do you think he will really forget her after a craniotomy?"
Barbara was so stiff that even the nerves in her brain froze.
She had seen the video of the USB drive, which happened to be a video of Christina's cesarean
section after a car accident.
Seeing that she had been silent, Lucy was dissatisfied and urged, "Is the USB drive still in your hands?
I found that your things had been rummaged through before I arrived at your house."
Barbara did not answer her, but looked at Patrick's cold face in horror.She could not help but tremble
her lips.
"Patrick, you, you have never lost your memory"
"That video...It's you.You changed the twins."
