Chapter 532
Being confined to a room, Christina felt stuffy and was full of resentment. She kept writing with a pen. She 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 perfunctorily, “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 dare, 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 tactful, 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 to Northern Garden with her? Did it really thought that it could come and leave the Hopkins family casually?
- 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 family?”
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 called her that night... “I‘m now studying western desserts in 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.
“Also, how could you… Did something happen before? Why did you miscarry?”
She just didn‘t want Crystal to shoulder the burden alone. She wanted to share Crystal‘s worries.

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
