SWNOVELS chapter 505
Chapter 505 Get an Informer around Grandma
She got the backup of the surveillance video and then walked out of the central control room, intending to leave the hospital. She was confused all the way. All she could think of was something about how to find August.
Now even if August was in Austos City, finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was time-consuming and difficult. If she tried hard to find him, she must start with as many clues as possible, so as to save time and be efficient.
As she walked and thought, she didn't notice the situation around her. When she just came out of the outpatient building
and was about to walk through the small garden in the hospital to the entrance, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. Her eyes were locked on that person beforehand, and soon she was sure that it was an acquaintance of hers-Jeanne!
Jeanne over there was looking around vigilantly. Suddenly she seemed to sense something, and turned her head towards
Lucia's side to look over. Coincidentally, the two of them stared at each other. When their eyes met, they both were slightly stunned.
Actually, they hadn't seen each other for quite some time, but they didn't expect to meet unexpectedly here today.
Lucia withdrew her gaze and was about to walk towards the door as if nothing had happened, pretending not to see
anything. But who knew that Jeanne's expression changed and she took a step straight towards her. Sensing her approach, Lucia frowned slightly and looked in that direction. When Jeanne came closer, Lucia was a little surprised to see the woman walking towards her.
It was just a month or so since they had seen each other last time. But now Jeanne was much more haggard and thinner than before. She didn't wear makeup, and dark circles were evident on her pale face. Her cheeks were slightly sunken on both sides, and it was obvious that she had lost a lot of weight.
"Lucia!" Jeanne called out to her in a not-so-friendly tone.
Lucia was slightly stunned, looking at Jeanne as she walked towards her in a furious manner, then she stood still and stared at her with cold eyes.
After she approached, Lucia coldly asked, "What's the matter?”
"Humph!" Jeanne coldly snorted with disdain, looking at Lucia with hostile eyes as she walked over and said in a cold voice, "Shameless! If it weren't for you, August wouldn't have divorced me! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have become like this!"
Hearing these, Lucia narrowed her eyes slightly and did not say anything. She knew very well that Jeanne always blamed her for everything, and now she blamed her for what happened to August. Obviously, Jeanne was just being vexatious and trying
to relieve her anger.
When Jeanne saw that Lucia didn't say anything, her face suddenly turned cold and she came closer and said through.
gritted teeth, "Lucia, you bitch! It's all because of you! Everything is blamed on you!"
Hearing her cursing, Lucia's heart bubbled with irritation, and coldly warned, "Jeanne, watch your mouth."
Jeanne's eyes were red as she glared at Lucia and said, "Isn't that truth? If it weren't for you, how could August have gotten. into trouble? Do you think I haven't investigated? The last phone call he made before he disappeared was with you!"
Lucia felt a thump in her heart, and she looked at Jeanne with some surprise. She didn't expect that Jeanne knew all about this. Lucia clenched her fist slightly and continued to ask, "What else do you know?"
"What do I know? Why should I tell you?"
Angry burst out from Jeanne's eyes. But at this time, there was a noise not far away. Jeanne was shocked, and
subconsciously turned her head to look. She seemed to see something that frightened her, and she started to walk away. Seeing this, Lucia immediately followed her, continuing to ask after her, "Jeanne, do you know something?” She thought if
she could really get any useful clues from Jeanne, maybe she will soon be able to find August and Burton
A trace of coldness flashed in Jeanne's eyes and she coldly snorted, "You wanna know?" With that, before Lucia could
answer, Jeanne grabbed her wrist, and dragged her to the rockery behind the side, "Come with me!" Lucia was caught off guard and was pulled behind the rockery, only to see Jeanne looking out through the rockery with a
panicked expression. She didn't say a word, as if she was hiding from someone.
Lucia was curious and followed her sight. She saw several people hurriedly running from the clinic building to the next gate. There were two bodyguard-like men and a middle-aged woman. They walked quickly, looking around as if they were looking
for someone.
Luc
keenly sensed something. She turned to look at Jeanne and asked, "Are they looking for you?" Seeing those people walking toward the gate, Jeanne was relieved a little. She heard the voice next to her, turned to look at Lucia and said in a vicious tone, "None of your business!"
Lucia was not interested in her matters at all. The reason she followed over was just to learn more about August's clues. She also did not bother to beat around the bush, and asked directly, "Now you can tell me what else you know, right?"
Jeanne coldly snorted, and a trace of disdain flashed across her face, "Why? Lucia, we are enemies!" After pausing for a second, she then said viciously, "You know what, I haven't settled the score with you for August. He's now missing, and it's all your fault!"
Hearing her say this, Lucia's eyes narrowed slightly and she asked, "Didn't the news say he was dead? Why do you say he's
missing?"
Jeanne froze for a moment, and a hint of dissimulation flashed across her face. Soon, she looked at Lucia and said coldly, "How could August be dead?" She already knew about the fake news. August did not die, only that his current whereabouts were unknown.
Lucia took a deep breath, "What makes you so sure? It was reported on the news, and I even went to his grave. How come it is fake?"
Jeanne's eyes suddenly showed a bit of contempt, and she blurted out, "Stupid! How do you know it's him in the grave but
not someone else?”
After finishing, she suddenly realized that she was so excited that she had said something she should not have said. But by then, Lucia had heard it all and it was already too late. Lucias eyes sank, and the look in her eyes became complicated. When she met with Olivia the cemetery, Olivia said that she had asked someone to take a DNA sample of the corpse to get it tested, and afterwards found that the corpse was not August's. Olivia was not supposed to tell anyone about it, otherwise it would certainly set off a furor. And once it was publicized, Bishop's lie would collapse of itself.
Looking at the trend of public opinion, people did not know this matter. But Jeanne actually knew that, which was a little suspicious. Jeanne might also ask someone to take the DNA of the body to test, but the odds were slim, unless...
A possibility flashed through Lucia’s mind. She raised her eyes to look at Jeanne and lowered her voice, "Did you know this from grandma?”
A trace of panic clearly flashed across Jeanne's face after Lucia finished. A few seconds later, she bluffed and raised her voice, saying in a cold voice, “Does it have anything to do with you?"
Lucia calmly said word by word, “Grandma couldn't have told you these things, unless, you got an informer around her.”
