So, in order to protect your own safety, you can't take any missions alone. Do you understand? "
Everyone said in unison, "yes, Ms. Crystal!"
"Besides, if I find out that anyone of your dare to take on a mission without my permission, he will be punished according to the rules of us. Do you understand! "
"Yes, we understand!"
"Well, that's all. Douglas and Toby stay here. The others can leave now!"
Then, the rest of them went back to their own rooms in the basement.
After a while, there were only Toby, Douglas, Crystal and Edgar left in the room.
Crystal took a deep breath, turned around and sat down on her chair. She asked, "Douglas, Toby, how is the matter that I asked you to investigate?"
"Ms. Crystal, Miranda only met Ryan once after she was sent to prison. As for the exact content of their conversation, I didn't hear it clearly. But after Ryan left, Miranda called Mrs. Judy secretly. After that, there was nothing unusual with her!"
Crystal nodded and said, "well, keep watching her. Let's see who she is going to meet again. It would be the best if we can place a bug on her and hear what they are talking about!"
"Yes, Ms. Crystal. I'll do it right away!"
Crystal waved her hand and said, "Okay!"
Then she looked at Toby and asked, "Toby, how's your investigation going?"
Toby took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it down respectfully and said, "Ms. Crystal, I've found out that person's name is Jeff. He lives in the Xia state, and his family is a very ordinary one. However, twenty years ago, Jeff, and all the members of his family disappeared secretly. This is the address. Since he lives in a remote area, there are very few people around, Besides, it has not been developed by any commercial companies, so it can still be kept intact as before! "
Then Crystal took a look at the address on the paper and said, "let's go. Toby will lead the way. We may find something after we go there!"
"Yes, Ms. Crystal!"
Then, Crystal stood up and said to Edgar, "let's go, honey. I'll take you to a place!"
Slowly putting down the teacup, Edgar stood up and walked to Crystal. He took her hand and said, "okay!"
Leaning her head agains
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
he would always have a glass of saline water in the morning when he woke up.
The closest person to Crystal was her mother. Her mother was one of the daughter from the Xia clan. Who could make her condescend to live in such a rural place? There should be no one else except the one she loved for the rest of her life.
Holding her shoulder more tightly, Edgar lowered his head and said, "the days when your mother lived here should be the happiest time in her life!"
Crystal raised her head and looked into his bright eyes. She smiled bitterly, "I think so!"
Crystal knew that she couldn't hide anything from Edgar. Of course, Edgar could guess what she could think of.
Therefore, even if she didn't tell him, Edgar would know something.
Lowering his head, Edgar asked, "do you want to go in and have a look?"
Crystal nodded without saying anything else.
Holding her shoulder, Edgar walked in.
After entering the room, Crystal felt very chilly. The wind around her ears was a little gloomy, and the moist in the room for many years came straight toward her.
Subconsciously, Edgar took off his coat and put it on Crystal. "Are you feeling cold?"
Crystal shook her head, "No."
There was no place to sit in the shabby room. Crystal looked around. In fact, there was nothing strange here, but somehow, after Crystal came in, she felt warm, as if she had seen her mother, who was busy taking care of the one lying on bed in this shabby room
