Chapter 587
“Let’s talk outside.”
Lucy said directly. She dragged Christina with her left hand and Mary with her right, walking towards the quiet corner of the corridor.
Christina turned round and greeted the people in the room awkwardly, “Crystal, I’m really sorry to disturb you tonight.”
Before she could finish her words, Lucy had pulled her out.
Lucy never cared about those secular etiquettes. She just wanted her things.
Crystal watched them leave and did not stop them. Of course, she knew that she could not stop them. She just vaguely felt that Christina and Lucy became so familiar with each other during her short time away from home. She was a little uncomfortable.
Christina just had a few female friends, and Crystal should be Christina’s best friend, but now Crystal was no longer Christina’s best friend.
“Take out the map.”
Lucy reached out coldly to ask Mary for the map. With
Mary was a little nervous when she faced Lucy. She subconsciously approached Christina and raised her voice. “Why should I give it to you? It belongs to my Strozzi family.”
Mary said in an arrogant tone.
Lucy’s eyes lit up. She didn’t care about Mary’s tone. It was really the map of the islands.
“No, that map is not yours. It originally belonged to Raphael.” Lucy was very good at getting information from others.
Sure enough, Mary looked a little flustered. “Raphael claimed to be the owner of the islands, but neither we nor the Elders affirmed him. This map is not his.”
The Strazzi islands actually had an owner.
Lucy was very surprised, “So there are people living in the islands, and there is even an owner.”
Only then did Mary realize that Lucy didn’t know anything, Lucy was just getting information from Mary.
Mary flared as she scolded the servants, “You leave immediately! Get outi”
Lucy snorted disdainfully.
To Christina’s surprise, Lucy didn’t pester her mother anymore. Lucy directly turned round and left.
Seeing that Lucy had obediently left, Mary became vain again. She took Christina’s hands affectionately and said to her in a very dignified and gentle tone, “Christina, listen to mom. Let’s go back to the islands together. It’s a thousand times better than the Hopkins family!”
“Who’s Raphael?” Christina didn’t care about Mary’s sweet talking.
Mary’s expression was a little complicated. She said gently to Christina, “Christina, you just have to know that Raphael is not a good person. He is vicious, and you must be careful of anyone who supports him. He has a grudge against me, so he will definitely send someone to hurt you.”
“Mom, have you lived in the islands for so many years?”
“What’s your relationship with Raphael, the owner of the islands?”
Christina looked at Mary doubtfully.
However, Mary was very excited and strongly denied, “Raphael is not the owner of the islands, and he is not qualified to be the owner of the islands. The scepter is divided into three parts, and I and Zorro have one. If there should be a new owner of the islands, it should be Zorro. Raphael is now utterly isolated.”
Christina did not understand what Mary said. It was obviously a battle for power.
Christina was not interested in participating in this power game.
“If you don’t want to leave, you can continue to stay in the Hopkins family, or I can arrange a new house for you to live alone. If you want to go back to the islands, you can go back yourself. I won’t go with you.”
Christina said coldly.
Mary was very anxious to hear what Christina said. She had to take Christina back to the islands this time.
Mary’s eyes suddenly turned red and she cried. “Christina, I know you hate me. You hate me for not taking you away with me back then. I gave birth to you, and I definitely wanted to take you away with me, but there was really no way…
She cried bitterly, as if she had suffered a great grievance, “I have been bullied by others all these years. If I had taken you back to the islands with me, you might have already died.”
Do you know how cold my womb is now? The women on the islands threw me into the sea in the middle of the Winter, and I was pregnant for three months at that time. They were lealous of me and wanted to force me to death. I had a miscarriage. I couldn’t count how many times I had miscarriages.”
Mary cried bitterly, her hands subconsciously covering her abdomen. She was as sad as a mother who had just lost her child.
Christina widened her eyes and looked at her sobbing. Mary’s eyes were red and swollen, and her tears kept flowing down.
Christina really admired Mary. She could cry all of a sudden, and she said it vividly. It didn’t seem like she was lying.
Mary suddenly pressed Christina’s hands tightly and sobbed, “Christina, you are my biological daughter. They won’t dare to look down on me only when you go back. Can you go back with me and help me fight with them?”
Christina looked down at the crystal tears falling on her palms. The tears were real, but Mary’s words were not enough to be believed.
Mary was a little annoyed to see that Christina had no reaction.
She was crying bitterly, but Christina was still so indifferent.
“Christina, your children are missing. It must be Raphael who sent someone to take them away. The Strozzi family’s descendants were not allowed to strand outside.”
Mary changed her expression quickly. There were still tear stains on her face, but she threatened Christina with sharp eyes, “If you want to see your children, you have to go back to the islands with me.”
Christina was originally very indifferent, but she shook inside with nervousness when she heard that Mary mentioned her twins. Although Christina had no impression of the children, she gave birth to them and had mutual affinity with them.
“Mom, I won’t go back with you.”
Christina quickly calmed down. Strangely, she chose to believe Patrick. According to Patrick’s tone that day, he obviously knew where the children were, so she didn’t have to worry.
Mary pointed at Christina angrily and said, “You don’t care about your mother at all!”
Christina said stubbornly, “Yes. Everyone told me that my mother was gone when I was very young. My mother gave birth to me but didn’t bring me up, so I grew up to such a person.”
Mary gritted her teeth. “Are you blaming me?” She wanted to curse, but she couldn’t think of any words. She just
flared up into a fury,
“Yes, I’m blarning you.”
Christina looked straight at Mary without Minching,
For so many years, Christina had always been angry with her father, because she glorified the people who had passed away and always felt that everyone was sorry for her mother. But now she calmly recalled that she had just imagined her mother too perfectly.
“Okay, I’ve gotten the map.” Just then, they heard Lucy’s teasing voice.
Lucy went into Mary’s room and stole the map.
