Joyce's expression was too late to conceal and had completely revealed her true thoughts.
Christian knew that she was privately investigating Charlotte, which was shocking enough. She did follow Charlotte quietly a few times and found nothing. Not only did he know about her investigation, but he also knew about Ricky?
Of course she wanted to know, but, since she still could not find out the purpose of Christian, could his words be trusted?
Christian hooked up a wicked smile, as if guessing what she was thinking, "What, don't you believe what I said?"
"..." Joyce pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Gee, with your connections, you will not be able to find out anything about Ricky after a hundred years. And that Karl who helped you investigate. Perhaps he has got quite a strong background, and maybe he can get some information from the government and the police but there is really not much he can do other than that." Christian lazily said.
Joyce was even more shocked that Christian even knew that she and Karl were working on the investigation together.
Moreover, she knew Karl's background only yesterday. And Christian knew it easily. He was really quite extraordinary.
"You're investigating me? Stalking me?" She blurted out.
Other than that reason, she couldn't think of any reason why he could be so aware of what she was doing.
"Don't say that. Stalking you? Why can't I send someone to protect you?" Christian stretched out his hand, and his long and slender fingers flicked Joyce's soft cheeks, his voice ambiguous.
Joyce bit her lower lip, her pretty face got serious.
She knew, and could usually feel, that there were people around her watching her whereabouts, but she always thought it was from Karl. Because since she was kidnapped and the truth about Stephanie's case was questioned, Karl was afraid that someone would hurt her again and had been secretly sending people to protect her, something that Luther knew before he lost his memory.
She just didn't expect that Christian would also send someone to follow her. No wonder he knew her whereabouts so clearly.
