SWNOVELS chapter 458
Chapter 458 Give Her a "Gift"
Lucia stood aside while looking at the two men fighting with each other Feeling inexplicably anxious, she took a deep breath and stepped forward to block Paul Afterward, she looked at Burton and said, "Go back first. Paula doesn't want to see you You will just cause more commotion”
Her voice echoed, and everyone went silent
It seemed that because of her words, Burton's complexion changed slightly in the end, he said nothing He nodded slightly at Lucia and turned his head to look deeply at Paula on the bed through the transparent glass Afterward, he took a step forward and left.
When he went far and Lucia couldn't see his back anymore, she gently pulled Paul's arm and asked, "How is the investigation?”
Hearing her voice, Paul returned to his senses. His face remained serious as he replied, "All the surveillance has been artificially erased. It's clean. You can't see a single thing in there."
Lucia was surprised, "What?"
Originally, she thought that as long as they start with the surveillance at the intersection, they would be able to take pictures of the people in the car clearly and the murderer would be caught. But she didn't expect that
Lucia took a deep breath. "Who has such great power?"
If he could wipe out all the surveillance cameras on the road to hide the murderer, he must have a great amount of power and connection
If the murderer was Jeanne, then the only person who could cover for her was one person
Lucia frowned, her heart sank heavily
If it's him...
"They found out the owner of the car. The owner said that his car keys got lost a few days ago The car was stolen The police have found it in the suburbs of Austos. It was driven by someone else. It was parked in a nearby pond and submerged for a few days. It was scrapped, and there was no trace of valid fingerprints or physical evidence in the car” Hearing this. Lucia's body became a little colder She took a deep breath and uttered, "So, all the clues are cut off just like that?"
If the murderer couldn't be found, all their efforts would be in vain Not to mention that Paula was still lying on the hospital
bed and they didn't know when she would wake up.
This hatred they were feeling must be avenged. They couldn't allow that person to escape!
Lucia gritted her teeth and suddenly thought of something Before Paul could speak, she took a deep breath and said firmly. "I'm going to meet Jeanne’
Paul frowned. "What?"
Lucia remained silent and did not answer.
Sometimes, going backward might not be a good way to find clues. Since all the clues were wiped out, she could try to meet Jeanne and see her reaction
If she was guilty, she would show something. If it's not her, then she won't lose anything by trying. Seemingly, seeing Lucia's thoughts, Paul frowned. "You mean.."
Lucia clenched her fists slowly. "Yes, if she isn't guilty of anything, then she has nothing to be afraid of"
Paul frowned. He was hesitant about her idea. "I don't trust you to go there.”
If Jeanne was the murderer, it meant that she was a lunatic with no bottom line! If Lucia would come to her door on her own, Paul would not dare think of what might happen to her.
Lucia gritted her teeth "But Paul, we have no other choice right now."
After a moment of silence, Paul said coldly. "You can go, but you must see her in public.”
Lucia paused for half a second and nodded. "Okay"
Of course, she also knew that she must ensure her safety. Now that Paula was still lying in bed and hadn't woken up, how could she just stay still and let Jeanne free?
The two of them quickly reached an agreement that Lucia would look for Jeanne three days later. That day, the Kelly Group
had a ribbon-cutting ceremony and Jeanne would attend. Furthermore, August was also on the guest list.
At that time, with so many people around, even if Jeanne dared to attack Lucia, they would have many witnesses.
This time, she was going to prepare a huge gift for Jeanne, a wonderful gift.
At the same time, Burton left the hospital and returned home in a trance along the way
Who knew that not long after he got home and finished dealing with the wound on his face, August called?
"Come back to the company?”
Burton's heart was dull and hesitant for a moment, but he agreed.
Half an hour later, he rushed to the company and arrived at the president's office. When he opened the door, August was standing at the door and flipping through some documents.
Seeing him walk in, he started talking about work out of habit, and only when Burton got closer did he notice the flesh-colored Band-Aid on his face
August stopped speaking abruptly, and his brows slightly frowned as he asked, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"
Burton normally remained low-key, but now that he asked him this question, he frowned and answered without a choice. "I bumped into something by accident.”
Hearing this, August frowned even deeper.
How could he not see the bruises on the edge of the band-aid that was caused by fists? Not to mention that he could sense that something was wrong with him since he had known him for many years
August instantly closed the folder that was spread out in his hand, put it heavily on the table, and said solemnly. "Let's talk.”
Seeing August's posture, Burton knew very well that if he remained silent, August would investigate. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and narrated what happened in detail
After listening, August frowned “Paula was fine How could there be a car accident?”
What's more strange was that August didn't hear anything about what happened
After hesitating, he ordered, "Go and find out what's going on.”
Burton agreed and went to do it immediately
After the door closed, August stood in front of his desk and looked at the documents he was reading earlier Suddenly, no words on it would register in his mind
This matter made him inexplicably uneasy
For the next three days. Lucia stayed in the hospital
Paula had passed the dangerous period and was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. Lucia stayed by her bedside. watching Paula who was motionless on the bed She stayed there for three days, but Paula never showed a sign of waking up After three days, Lucia had lost weight After all she lost her appetite and she seldomly sleeps
On the third night, Paul rushed over to persuade her "Go back tonight Your body can't take it anymore”
“It's okay" Lucia shook her head stubbornly I think Paula will wake up. I hope for her to see me first when she wakes up
Her debt to Paula cannot be simply paid in a few days at all
“Lucia, if you want to do something for Paula, you should go back and rest. Have you forgotten? Tomorrow morning will be the ribbon- cutting ceremony for a brand under Kelly Group”
Lucia was stunned it was as if she was woken up by that one word In an instant, she remembered everything they planned
She took a deep breath, glanced at Paula's pale face, and turned her head with gritted teeth, "Okay, I'l listen to you"
She needed to have a good rest to be radiant and full of energy later on so that she could deal with tomorrow's battle
Before leaving, she asked Paul, Please have you arranged everything?"
“Don't worry, everything is in order I'l listen to you
Lucia nodded, "Okay
She had already thought about it. Once she got in there tomorrow, she would show her “gift” to Jeanne
