Chapter 471 Besieged by Hostility Open or Hidden
Mrs Kelly was shocked by the unexpected tone of command from August August, do you know that this woman is possibly responsible for the kidnap of Jeanne? They had a quanel in the mall today, and Jeanne then disappeared Tail me!
Was it that woman
August said word by word, "I will deal with Jeanne's affair But you have to release her
He was without any hesitation or doubt
"August, you Mrs Kelly trembled in anger "You should help an outsider’ What can you do to me if I refuse?
August pressed his lips tightly He then said frostily. "If you refuse, I will have to use force
Mrs Kelly was infuriated by his attitude "How dare you
Before she finished speaking, August had darted his eyes to his men behind him. The men were all well trained They spread out and surrounded Mrs. Kelly and the car
He meant it!
Lucia was stunned as she never expected that August would offend Mrs. Kelly openly for her August said indifferently. "Mrs Kelly, I'm sorry”
Mrs. Kelly shuddered in rage
She also had several men with her, but she knew that they were no match to Augusts men Shed better retreat as a fight would be of no good to her
She took a deep breath. After staring at August for a long while, she finally relented, “Let her go* Her men were surprised They exchanged eyes with each other and finally pushed Lucia forward Lucia almost stumbled to the ground, but August held her firmly
Lucia glance at August in silence.
After Lucia retained her footing, August withdrew his hands He turned to Mrs Kelly and gave a slight bow "Mrs Kelly. please entrust Jeanne to me. I will bring her home tomorrow Please rest assured Mrs. Kelly's face was deadly pale in anger She gritted her teeth, and, after failing to come up with a tough talk, cast a glare at Lucia and left
Standing beside August, Lucia gradually felt relieved as she saw the cars diminishing to the distance. Hostility open or hidden had besieged her.
Jeanne, Mrs. Kelly, the strange organization and even August could easily destroy her
Suddenly, she heard the man's deep voice. "This is what I have been afraid of
Lucia came back to her senses and, as she turned to August, met the man's dark eyes She didn't find the heavy sweat in her palm until this moment.
August said softly, "Let me drive back
you
“Don't bother.” Lucia hurriedly flinched from August, who had just reached out to her
Awkwardly, August's hand reached out in vain.
Before he could say anything, Lucia had trotted to roadside and halted a taxi
Seeing the woman leaving without any hesitation, August felt an inexplicable sadness
Since when did the relationship between her and him become so sour? He plainly did everything for her, but she didn't understand him at all.
Meanwhile, Lucia felt so cold as she sat on the taxi.
She felt more clearly how dangerous it was to stay beside August. Unknown people along with unknown threats came to her one after another, which all made her unable to shake off the lingering fear
When the taxi arrived at West Bridge, she finally felt more at ease at the sight of familiar things. When the car pulled over before the villa, Lucia got off the car. As she entered the house, she saw Paul sitting on the sofa in the living room.
When Paul heard the door open, he sprang to his feet and walked towards Lucia. Anxiety and worry occupied his eyebrows. "What on earth happened? Why didn't you answer my calls? I've been worried.”
His first call was rejected by August. Then, he tried more calls, but none was answered He was so worried that he dashed to West Bridge to wait for her
Lucia shook her head wearity. 'It's nothing August came to me to ask me about Jeanne Kelly's whereabouts"
Hearing this, Paul hurriedly asked, "Was he being harsh on you?"
"No" Lucia took a deep breath and asked Paul solemnly. "Why did you catch Jeanne?"
Paul explained in a heavy tone after a short silence "She isn't the target. Mark Page is "
"Mark Page?”
The name brought her a chill of fear
She knew Mark Page was Jeanne's loyal sidekick. He tried to harm her five years ago. He was also involved in the snake bite on Janet.
He was a ruthless badass. He was not to be underestimated or treated lightly.
No wonder Paul caught Jeanne to lure him. He might also be involved in Paula's car accident Paula said seriously, "Let's wait for one night. Judging from his temperament, he would definitely show up tonight Once he
shows up, my men will take him down. And I release Jeanne in the morning”
As he said so, he turned to Lucia and continued with a softer tone, "Lucia, you won't blame me, will you?"
His measure was indeed drastic. But it was the only way
Lucia took a deep breath and patted his arm as a comfort. "I understand
Paula was in dire condition, and, Paul, as her brother, would definitely want to put the evildoer into justice as soon as possible.
She would do the same thing if she were Paul
They would have to kill the night. They couldn't take the next step until the next morning when Mark was to be caught
Lucia tossed and turned this night. She hardly felt sleepy. She wanted to sleep as her eyes ached However, as she closed her eyes, all those nightmares occurred to her, disturbing her from falling asleep
At last, she took two pills of melatonin and finally managed to fall asleep.
However, when she woke up, it had been late morning.
She hurriedly got up and washed herself up.
When she came downstairs, she found Elisa watering flowers on the balcony She hurriedly asked, "Mom? Has Paul left?*
"Yes. He left early in the morning."
Hearing this, Lucia immediately called Paul.
If Mark showed up yesternight, they should have caught him by now.
Thinking of which, she felt somewhat agitated. She unwittingly clenched her phone.
After a while, the call was answered. "Hello?"
She asked nervously, "Paul? Is Mark Page caught?”
After a short silence, Paul answered deeply, "No, he didn't show up.”
His words stunned Lucia disappointed.
Mark didn't show up, which meant that they locked Jeanne for a night for nothing.
"How come?"
If Mark was really so devoted to Jeanne, he would definitely do something if he knew that Jeanne was caught. However, no one came to rescue Jeanne for the whole night.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "Then shall we release Jeanne?"
