If August said it on purpose to turn him against Lucia, how could lie hr footed’

August said calmly. ‘If you dont believe me. I can show you the contract ‘

August s confident tone and demeanor explained everything It was true, and August didn't need to lie to him

Paul's heart sack and he felt complicated and unset A bitter feeling arose in his heart, which was inexplicably depressing

Unexpectedly. Lucia had kept it from him He had thought that after he had been with her for five years, she wouldn't keep anything from him ,

In an instant, all his questions and investigations were silenced His eyes darkened a little, and he didnt say anything in the end

Finally, he got up. said nothing to August, and walked out of the reception room

As soon as Paul left, only August and Joshua were left in the reception room

Suddenly, Joshua laughed out loud. ‘I didn't expect to see a good show when I came here today Two men fighting for one woman¹ What a classic episode’

Hearing Joshua s ambiguous tone. August glanced at him coldly and said. ’I called you over for serious business *

Keanng mis. Jcshua sat up straight and asked with a smile, ‘What's the matter’ Does it have something to do with Lucia’’

August paused and didnt reply directly After a moment, he said lightly, Mr Denko seems to be targeting Lucia ’

With that, he took out the box containing the jade and put it on the table

Joshuas face became serious He opened the box and looked al it After hearing Augusts story, he said in a serious tone. 'It seems that Mr Denko is serious this time ’

August said nothing

Mr Denko used something he had carried with him for decades as a threat, which showed that he had made up his mind

Hes cominga’ier you’ Joshua said solemnly, "August, you have lo be careful ‘

August frowned and said, 'But now hes targeting Lucia'

Joshuas face became much gloomier and he disugruud, "August, dont you understand? Why is ho targeting Lucia’ Ism it because of you?*

’Yoy've exposed your soft spot, and this Io loboo!’

‘Really⁷ Ask yourself, why have you protected her again and again If you don't have feelings for her⁷ Mr Denko has seen if. and you havenl realized it yourself⁷¹*

Hearing Joshuas words. August was dumbfounded

After a moment, his throat tightened and he said solemnly. 'But this time I will be responsible to the end'

Since it was caused by him. he must ensure the safety of Lucia, Timothy, and Janet

Joshua said angrily, 'August' Are you crazy⁷¹ If it were five years ago you could have taken care of il But now, in what capacity are you going to take care of Mr Denko's affairs⁷*

Augusts face darkened slightly and he glanced at Joshua coldly. 'I know what Im doing'

Joshua frowned. 'Since you don’t listen to me. why did you ask me to come over?*

August said solemnly. 'I need you to cooperate with me *

Joshua looked reluctant He moved his lips but said nothing Now. if he didn't help August, then August would be helpless

As for how to help August, he was still thinking about it In his opinion, keeping Lucia away from August would help him

Joshuas eyes In up. and he suddenly came up with an idea It would be a bit risky to do this But when August looked back after many years, he would be grateful to him
