Chapter 551

After meeting Lucy, Christina returned to the Hopkins family, feeling uneasy.

“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you said that you would go out for a while before. Senior Mr. Hopkins wanted

to wait for you to have lunch together. Do you need to have dinner now?”

In Eastern Garden, Nanny Faang asked Christina when she saw that Christina, who had been out all

day, was back.

Everyone knew that Brianna was the adopted daughter and Judy had no real power. And the

daughters of the Hopkins family, including arrogant Lassie, were already married. After all, the

hostess of the Hopkins family was Christina, and Senior Mr. Hopkins agreed on it.

“No, I'm not hungry.”

Christina went out to eat with Lucy. She ate some but had no appetite.

Thinking of what Lucy had said to her, Christina hesitated and looked at Nanny Faang, “What do you

think of Brianna? Has she done anything strange?”

Nanny Faang had lived in the Hopkins family for many years. So she should know a lot of things.

"Although Brianna is introverted, she is very innocent and simple,” Nanny Faang remembered that

Christina had claimed that Brianna was lying a while ago, and Christina had been punished by

Senior Mr. Hopkins. “Junior Mrs. Hopkins, Brianna is actually very easy to get along with. I can also

tell that she likes you very much.”

“Really? I don't think so.”

Christina was a little angry at the thought of being punished by Senior Mr. Hopkins last time. Even

Patrick said that it was her that bullied Brianna.

“Basically, Brianna will like whatever Young Master Hopkins likes and I think that Brianna admires

you.

Nanny Faang kindly advised Christina, “You can judge a person from his eyes. Brianna's eyes are

clear...”

"Oh, the last time she looked at me, she looked so disdainful.”

Christina couldn't bear it and interrupted her. Anyway, the Hopkins family would only say polite

words.

It occurred to Christina that it seemed that Ms. Hopkins had rarely come to trouble Christina

recently.

“Ms. Hopkins finally goes home?”

Christina didn't hate Ms. Hopkins, but she just felt annoyed.

“Lassie’s husband came over last week. Lassie seems to have something urgent to deal with, and she

has been busy

recently.”

It was usually because of the company's financial problems.

Ms. Hopkins was probably managing to get money from the Hopkins family again.

Christina didn't care about it. That night, Patrick did not go home. Christina did not know what he

was busy with, nor did she know how to explain to him what Lucy had told her.

There was no evidence and it was just speculation.

In fact, Christina was not afraid of Brianna, but she was worried that Brianna would hurt the people

around her, especially the twins.

Christina didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Patrick asked his assistant to call Christina and tell her that he was on a business trip

and wouldn't go home for the next few days.

“Nancy, you've stayed in Western Garden for so long. Do you get any useful information?”

Christina called the young maid who had been with her to ask for information.

Unexpectedly, Nancy changed her attitude. “Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you really shouldn't do this.”

How dared Nancy teach her a lesson?

Christina glared at her, “What do you mean?”

“If you continue to say whatever I dislike, I'll deduct your year-end bonus!” Christina theatened

Nancy.

Nancy was aggrieved. At first, she didn't want to go to Western Garden at all. It was Christina who

asked her to sneak into Western Garden and ask about Brianna's private affairs, but it turned out

that Brianna didn't have any malicious intentions at all.

And the last time Christina broke into Brianna's room, Brianna was so scared that she had a high

fever for a week and screamed in nightmares at night. Brianna was very pitiful.

“Brianna really has no secrets, and she has bruises from time to time.”

Out of justice, Nancy hoped that Christina would stop tormenting innocent Brianna and she even

spoke ill of Mrs. Hopkins in a low voice, “I heard that Brianna had bruises from time to time since

she was young. Those injuries were hidden in her clothes, so people couldn't see. It was said that

Mrs. Hopkins hit her when the former was in a bad mood.”

“Judy hit her?” Christina was curious.

Nancy nodded seriously, “Junior Mrs. Hopkins, it's true. Mrs. Hopkins thinks that Brianna is a foster

daughter and she is autistic and introverted. Although Mrs. Hopkins often takes Brianna by her side,

Mrs. Hopkins doesn't care about her at all. Once I saw with my own eyes that Mrs. Hopkins pinched

Brianna's arms with her fingernails. Brianna’s arms were bruised and swollen, but she lowered her

head and was too scared to move.”

It seemed that Brianna was in a bad situation in the Hopkins family.

“Judy has been bullying her in secret for a long time. Does Brianna really not resist?”

Christina didn't like her mother-in-law.

"How dare she? I heard that Brianna's pocket money and annual bonus were all taken care of by

Mrs. Hopkins.” Nancy didn't have the courage to say directly that Judy used Brianna’s money.

“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you should help Brianna.”

“Well, Christina said casually, “It's none of my business.”

“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you are the most intimidating person in the Hopkins family now. If you treat

Brianna better, the servants, Mrs. Hopkins and Lassie won't bully Brianna.”

“Am I intimidating?”

Nancy nodded honestly.

Christina's face darkened. “Grandpa and Patrick are the most intimidating persons. Why me? When

did I abuse you? Tell me, do you really want your salary deducted?”

“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, it's mainly because you're unreasonable.”

Christina's face darkened and she gritted her teeth, “You said that Brianna often had nightmares and

screams, then you don't need to sleep. Eavesdrop on what Brianna said in her nightmares, and

record it for me, even a sneeze.”

Nancy was about to cry, “Junior Mrs. Hopkins, please don't do this.” Then Nancy would have to stay

up almost every day.

“I don't accept any refutation because I'm unreasonable.”

With a wave of Christina's hand, pitiful Nancy had no choice but to return to Western Garden as a

Spy.

“Nancy actually said that I'm unreasonable.” Christina texted Lucy and mentioned the situation in

Western Garden that Nancy had told her, as well as others’ bad impressions of her in the Hopkins

family.

Lucy replied, “Wow, Patrick specifically assigned you such a simple and honest girl. That girl is

promising.”

“The internal management of the Hopkins family is very strict. If you want to send the little girl to

inquire about the

news, all you can hear is gossip. They don’t dare to mention anything really serious, but those

employees who have retired or resigned know some useful information...”

Lucy was the best at asking for information. “Yesterday, I went to see an old nanny who had retired

from the Hopkins family. She was 70 years old and had no children, living alone in the nursing

home. I pretended to be a stranger and talked to her.”

"Years ago, a young and beautiful maid died in the lotus pond in the Hopkins farnily. Everyone said

that she fell and drowned in the lotus pond accidentally. The old nanny said that there was a pair of

girl's shoes floating on the lotus pond at that time, which was Brianna's shoes. But no one doubted

it at that time. The Hopkins family gave the maid's family a large sum of money, and it was soon

forgotten.”

Thinking of the lotus pond in the Hopkins family, Christina shuddered. She used to feel that the

lotus pond was especially scary every night.

"At that time, Patrick was still a child, but Senior Mr. Hopkins must know something.”

"Know what?"

Christina asked Senior Mr. Hopkins several times and felt that he was indeed hiding something

Lucy told Christina directly, “I suspect that Brianna has had a schizotypal disorder since she was a

child. But she doesn't know it herself.”
