For her, Mark was nothing more than a subordinate
"Yes, I do My lady'
Mark nodded, and when he did that, the long red scar on his forehead looked even more horrible, just like a twisted centipede Jeanne couldn't bear such a scar anymore and took a step back subconsciously "Mark, maybe you have io change your haircut to hide the scar on your forehead It looks too scary for me ' She said in disgust
Something gloomy came and went in Mark s eyes when he heard what Jeanne had said 'I'll do it as the lady says' sucking a great draught of air he said
Jeanne was satisfied with his obedience This is where you live after being released’' She gave a glance around the shabby room and said
'Y«.th, but I II be at your service if you want me, Mark answered stoutly
Not yet the only thing you have to do now is to hide your identity '
Jeanne held that an arrow shot from hiding is difficult to guard against That s why she pulled oul all the stops to free Mark1
Then, she took a bank card out of her bag and put it on the table There are one hundred thousand dollars in it and the password is my birthday number It is for you Ask me for more if you run out of it.'
Mark seemed to be not happy with that money. "My lady, there is no need..." '
Just take it as I say' She seemed to run out of her patience.
Money is necessary if he wanted to run errands for her smooth and she is always generous to her right-hand man
Noticing Mark s frowned brows. Jeanne raised her hand and tapped him on his shoulder, saying softly, 'Mark, you are the only person I put trust in now, I hope you can lead a comfortable life after you have suffered so much in prison, that s why I give you money Do you understand?’
Her words worked and Mark's eyebrows stretched at once He nodded his head and smiled contentedly 'I know what you mean, my lady'
Jeanne smirked unpleasantly when she saw Mark s excitement Then she continued, 'Lucia was back to Austos with her children, I need you to spy on her now!'
She had to know what she was up against
And this time she would deal with her with extraordinary patience and endurance! She must nd Lucia and her bastards once and for all' Meanwhile
The black Maybach was driving across the city and headed for West Bridge silently A quick chirping of a cell phone broke the stillness It was Lucias phone
On the screen was the name of Lucias best friend Paula 'Yep, Paula' She picked up at once
Lucia, hows your working day7' Paulas voice came from the other end of the phone clearly 'And how about Janet and Timothy7' 'How s it going with your shooting7'
Thinking of her lovely children sitting next to her, Lucia naturally beamed with happiness 'They all do it great1 The director invited them to shoot tomorrow’ She answered tenderly
'Great1 But where are you now7' My treat today1 Let s have beef steak1'
Lucia jerked her head up and look at August when she heard that She didn t know how to explain to Paula she was in the car of August She must fr^ak if she knew that
What do you think7' Paula asked again minutes later 'Come on1 Let us have no buts,' she said firmly 'You are coming1' I have learned from Elijah Reed that you knocked off at 5 30 '
Lucia signed helplessly at her words and finally cut in 'Where are you now7'
Starlight Plaza, right in the center of the city '
'OK, send me your location, and we ll come to meet you soon,' Lucia replied crisply
However, Lucia received August s steady gaze the very moment that she hung up the phone Their eyes met across the car seat
It was August who spoke first "Where are you going’" His voice was pretty calm and, even dry.
Lucia opened and shut her mouth, a few seconds later, she looked out at the window and said, "Just drop us over there, we have a rendezvous with Paula"
August subconsciously relaxed his eyebrows when he heard the name, Paula
Then, he turned away to order Burton to turn the car around and steer to Starlight Plaza
Yes, Mr Adams ' Burton Harris answered
Lucia was about to meet Paula on foot for it was not far away from the Starlight Plaza now But August didn't give her a chance to say no and ordered Burton to drive there directly Lucia had only to swallow the words of refusal helplessly
He always took no account of her will
Let him be
Mom, where are we going now’" Timothy looked up at her and asked with his innocent eyes
"We will go to meet your aunt Paula1" Said Lucia tenderly
"Yeah1 That s great1 Timothy almost kicked on his heels at the sound of that
Mom. Is Uncle Charming going with us’" Tilting her little head, Janet asked in an adorable manner
Lucia stiffened at her naive question She didn't know how to answer
Waiting for no answer from Lucia, Janet thereupon turned to August and tugged at his sleeve to get his attention "Uncle Charming, will you come with us’"
Id like to. but it depends on your mother." August looked at her unblinkingly with an expressive smile
Janet looked at Lucia with imploring eyes the instant that August finished his words. "Mom, can he go with us’"
Lucias throat felt tight
She didnt expect that August was such a wily man to throw the question back to her1 How could a mother say no to her dear daughter easily’
But she had to be heartless this time She took her eyes off Janet to glance at August and said through gritted teeth. "Sorry, darling, but we didn't let aunt Paula know ahead of time and it's aunt Paulas treat today I don't think it's appropriate to invite Uncle Charming to have dinner with aunt Paula together without notice in advance Maybe next time! Ok’"
"Alright1" Janet said, disappointed obviously
