Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Don't Judge a Book By its Cover

The terrifying thought flashed in Lucia's mind. The next second, she felt she got goosebumps all over her body.

Fear arose from deep down.

If her guess was correct, the target of the bike that Jeanne had sent wasn't just to destroy her, but to kill the

baby in her womb as well. To Lucia, Jeanne had always been a kind and generous woman. She didn't expect her to be so...

Paul could tell that there was something on Lucia's mind, so he called her quietly, "Lucia, are you alright?"

Lucia quickly came back to her senses. She didn't know when, but her hands had turned ice cold.

She raised her head and looked at Paul. A mixture of feelings arose in her heart. "Was it... really her?" Paul hesitated for a moment and looked as if he didn't want to tell her the truth. However, after a short pause,

he took out his phone from his pocket, displayed the message and showed it to Lucia. "This is what my men found from the street surveillance near Lion Group. Mark had a short conversation with

the man on the bike. Just over an hour later, you were injured. I ordered someone to track the man on the bike,

but he seemed to have disappeared."

Lucia raised her head and looked at the man wearing the helmet on the picture. It was indeed the man who had

run her over that day with the bike. The man next to him looked a little familiar. Lucia had a feeling she seemed

to have seen him somewhere. Lucia took a deep breath to calm herself down. She suddenly remembered that she had seen the man on

Jeanne's wedding. The inan was organizing the waiters to change the fruit plates. This meant that he really was on the same side as Jeanne. The last bit of hesitation disappeared from Lucia's heart. She bit her lips hard and accidentally bit too hard. A

faint taste of blood appeared in her mouth. This was when Lucia realized that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover. She had always thought Jeanne was

a kind and generous person, but she didn't expect Jeanne to actually have such a scheming side to her.

Lucia subconsciously tightened her fists and took a deep breath. She raised her head and looked at Paul. "Paul,

can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?" asked Paul. "Don't tell anyone about this, not even August."

Lucia knew that if she told August about this, he wouldn't believe her and would also think that she was

deliberately trying to turn Jeanne and him against each other. Besides, Lucia would be leaving the following

day. She wanted to keep thiese things a secret and never wanted to bring then up again. Paul furrowed his brows and there was a short pause. He then asked, "Don't you want justice to be served? She

wanted to kill you and the child in your womb..." "I know!"

Lucia suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Paul. She tried to be as calm as possible and said slowly. "I

know she wants to set me up, but I can't be poine against her. You know that I'm out of time..."

If things became complicated, then Aupust would know about the child Lucia was carrying. By then, she

wouldn't possibly have the chance to get away from Austos City.

Paul was at a loss for words when he heard what Lucia said.

Lucia fell silent for a while. She clenched her fists and then gritted her teeth. She raised her head to look at Paul

and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I don't want things to get out of hand. Paul, let's forget about what

happened, alright?"

Paul's eyes darkened and after a short pause, he nodded. "Alright, have it your way. But if she dares to do

anything to harm you again, I won't let her get away with it."

After hearing those words, Lucia felt warmth in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her with eyes full of

gratitude subconsciously.

By the time they arrived back in the ward, both Bill and Elisa had a nervous looks on their faces. When they saw

Lucia, they asked, "Lucia, what happened?"

"Nothing." Lucia tried to look lively and smiled at the two of them. "There's nothing to worry about."

isn't getting married. What would others think when they see you in such a state?"

After hearing those words, Elisa wiped away the tears on her face and kept quiet.

Lucia bit her lip and took a deep breath. Then she looked at her parents and said slowly, "Mom, Dad, you don't

have to worry. I'll take care of myself."

Only after Lucia made a few more promises did Lucia say goodbye to her parents and walk out of the ward.

As soon as she closed the door, she felt tears welling up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Lucia only managed to calm herself back down when she walked out of the hospital.

She took out her phone and looked at the time. When she saw the text that Paul had sent her, she subconsciously opened it.

I

s

live got some things to deal with at the company. I'd probably need another hour. I'll go pick you up in

an hour."

Lucia quickly tapped on the screen and sent a reply. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

As she tapped on the send button, she breathed a sigh of relief. Lucia hailed a taxi and went back to her

apartment to pick up her luggage. When Lucia pushed open the door and looked at the empty room, she suddenly something was missing. This

apartment held a lot of her memories.

An hour passed very quickly. When Lucia received the message that Paul sent her, she took a deep breath and

walked out of the door. She took one last look at her apartment before she closed the door. Finally, she let go of everything and sighed lightly. She placed the key on the table in the hallway and left with

her suitcase. To her, leaving this place would be kind of a farewell. Her past with August would come to an end from this moment onwards.
