SWNOVELS chapter 461
Chapter 461
At that moment, Lucia was like a hedgehog with spikes all over her body and every word she spoke was full of anger
In short, she had taken him as an enemy.
August frowned, remembered something else, and asked, "By the way, about Paula Thomas."
"It's none of your business.” After saying that, Lucia walked away coldly.
Now, in her opinion, August was Jeanne's husband, so he would cover up her crimes. What's more, he might have been her powerful protector. So she wouldn't have any expectations for him and even was a little prejudiced and resentful of him out of her hatred and blame for Jeanne.
The light in August's eyes darkened slightly Looking at the woman's back, he became more and more confused
The sudden appearance of her at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the woman who had been arranged to be here, and Jeanne, who had just returned from the bathroom with a frightened face, all these things joined together, showing him something.
He turned around, passed through the hall, and returned to the door.
Everyone outside was still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened.
August walked up to Jeanne, pulled her to a quiet place, and asked, "Jean, have you done anything recently?”
Jeanne had not yet recovered from the panic When she heard August's question, she answered nervously, "August, what do you mean?”
August stared at her with complex expressions in his eyes and said in a flat voice, "Nothing, don't worry"
Jeanne broke into a sweat. Before she could say anything, Martin had already sent someone over to tell them to cut the ribbon
The ceremony had been delayed because of those unexpected situations. Now that Martin had controlled the situation, the ceremony would continue as planned
Jeanne quickly glanced at August, who was full of worries and quickly reached out to hold his arm She said nonchalantly,
"August, let's cut the ribbon.”
“Sure’
August responded shortly and looked at her with some speculation in his eyes, but didn't say anything more.
At that time, Lucia had left the ribbon-cutting ceremony She walked to a car parked by the side of the road and opened the door
Paul had been waiting in the car Seeing her get in, he asked, "How was it?"
Lucia stared ahead, gritted her teeth, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Jeanne Kelly"
Paul frowned at her words
Who would have thought that Jeanne would be so vicious and do something so heartless?
Lucia said senously. "I didn't tell anyone else. At this time, what we need to do the most is collect evidence. Only by getting the evidence can we avenge Paula!"
Paul didn’t say anything and remained silent
His reaction made Lucia feel uncertain She took a deep breath and asked. "Paul, is there anything wrong?”
After a pause, Paul said, "I was wondering if Jeanne was involved in your kidnapping last time"
His words shocked Lucia The words the Ghost-masked man had said to her emerged in her mind. In an instant, her entire body turned cold
The masked man had emphasized that she should stay away from August and not get entangled with him. If she really followed his words, then the biggest beneficiary would be Jeanne
Could she be responsible for what happened last time? Then what about the card with a spider web? It didn't seem like the same group as those who gave her the card before
Could it be that Jeanne had intentionally used someone else's name to escape her suspicions?
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down However, she felt it was hard to control her trembling hands
Now that she has calmed down and thought about it carefully, she does feel that the last time she was kidnapped is not quite the same compared to the previous experience of receiving a card. Before that, she was receiving things, while last time, on her birthday, she was kidnapped directly. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed strange.
Could it be that Jenny really had kidnapped her last time?
Gritting her teeth, Lucia clenched her fists with an extremely cold expression
"Lucia?"
Paul's gentle voice woke her up from her reverie.
"Maybe it is.” said Lucia through tightly gritted teeth, "I won't let her go!"
Paul made a pause and said earnestly, "Lucia, in fact, when you returned to West Bridge on your birthday, August came for you and took the card away He promised me that he would investigate it and give me an answer But now, I haven't received his reply
Hearing that, Lucia frowned and couldn't utter a single word
Perhaps August had already known that it was Jeanne who had done it. The reason why he hadn't told them was that he wasn't willing to sell his lover out. The reason why he had taken the card was to cover up Jeanne's crime!
A chill suddenly rose in her heart. Lucia Mitchell was so angry that her body trembled, unable to speak for a long time
It seemed that August had already made a choice between her and Jeanne Even if he showed his care and appreciation for her again and again, in the end, she was not as important as Jeanne Kelly in his heart.
Therefore, even though she was the one who had been injured, August would choose to protect Jeanne Kelly!
She had thought that there was something different about him, and had once been loyal to him In the end, she realized that August and Jeanne were the same kinds of people. They were a perfect match!
Lucia felt suffocated with anger, her nose twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes
"Lucia
Paul saw this and rushed forward, circled her shoulders, and gently patted her back. "Well, don't worry, they'll get what's coming to them, and I won't let them go."
Biting her lips, Lucia nodded. But she couldn't stop her tears.
Timothy and Janet were both August's children. But to protect his lover, he didn't even care about the lives of others Now. she knew him well.
Her heart sank as she slowly regained her calm. She wiped her tears and took a deep breath, "Okay, let's go *
Paul nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
He sent Lucia to the car and opened the door for her. When he was about to get in the car, his cell phone suddenly rang
He glanced at the screen and became serious. He turned to Lucia and softly said, "Lucia, its a work call Wait for me a moment."
Seeing Lucia nod, he turned around and took a few steps forward before answering the phone.
“Hello? Gin, how's the investigation going?"
The man's gloomy voice came over the phone, “There is little progress in the investigation of Ms Thomas's car accident, all the CCTV footage is gone, if I guessed correctly, someone powerful must protect her.”
In that instant, Paul's expression turned cold,
Before he could speak Charlie said, "But we have some clues about Miss Thomas's kidnapping.”
"Who is it?"
Paul frowned, "Who did that?"
“It should be August Adams’ friend, Joshua”
