Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

At that moment, Lucia was like a hedgehog with spikes all over her body and every word she spoke was full of anger

In short, she had taken him as an enemy.

August frowned, remembered something else, and asked, "By the way, about Paula Thomas.."

"It's none of your business." After saying that, Lucia walked away coldly.

Now, in her opinion, August was Jeanne's husband, so he would cover up her crimes. What's more, he might have been her powerful protector. So she wouldn't have any expectations for him and even was a little prejudiced and resentful of him out of her hatred and blame for Jeanne.

The light in August's eyes darkened slightly Looking at the woman's back, he became more and more confused

The sudden appearance of her at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the woman who had been arranged to be here, and Jeanne, who had just returned from the bathroom with a frightened face, all these things joined together, showing him something.

He turned around, passed through the hall, and returned to the door.

Everyone outside was still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened.

August walked up to Jeanne, pulled her to a quiet place, and asked, "Jean, have you done anything recently?"

Jeanne had not yet recovered from the panic When she heard August's question, she answered nervously, "August, what do you mean?"

August stared at her with complex expressions in his eyes and said in a flat voice, "Nothing, don't worry"

Jeanne broke into a sweat. Before she could say anything, Martin had already sent someone over to tell them to cut the ribbon

The ceremony had been delayed because of those unexpected situations. Now that Martin had controlled the situation, the ceremony would continue as planned

Jeanne quickly glanced at August, who was full of worries and quickly reached out to hold his arm She said nonchalantly,

"August, let's cut the ribbon."

'Sure'

August responded shortly and looked at her with some speculation in his eyes, but didn't say anything more.

At that time, Lucia had left the ribbon-cutting ceremony She walked to a car parked by the side of the road and opened the door

Paul had been waiting in the car Seeing her get in, he asked, "How was it?"

Lucia stared ahead, gritted her teeth, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Jeanne Kelly"

Paul frowned at her words

Who would have thought that Jeanne would be so vicious and do something so heartless?

Lucia said senously. "I didn't tell anyone else. At this time, what we need to do the most is collect evidence. Only by getting the evidence can we avenge Paula!"

Paul didn't say anything and remained silent

His reaction made Lucia feel uncertain She took a deep breath and asked. "Paul, is there anything wrong?"

After a pause, Paul said, "I was wondering if Jeanne was involved in your kidnapping last time"

His words shocked Lucia The words the Ghost-masked man had said to her emerged in her mind. In an instant, her entire body turned cold

The masked man had emphasized that she should stay away from August and not get entangled with him. If she really followed his words, then the biggest beneficiary would be Jeanne

Could she be responsible for what happened last time? Then what about the card with a spider web? It didn't seem like the same group as those who gave her the card before

Could it be that Jeanne had intentionally used someone else's name to escape her suspicions?

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down However, she felt it was hard to control her trembling hands

Now that she has calmed down and thought about it carefully, she does feel that the last time she was kidnapped is not quite the same compared to the previous experience of receiving a card. Before that, she was receiving things, while last time, on her birthday, she was kidnapped directly.

Thinking about it this way, it was indeed strange.

Could it be that Jenny really had kidnapped her last time?

Gritting her teeth, Lucia clenched her fists with an extremely cold expression

"Lucia?"

Paul's gentle voice woke her up from her reverie.

"Maybe it is." said Lucia through tightly gritted teeth, "I won't let her go!"

Paul made a pause and said earnestly, "Lucia, in fact, when you returned to West Bridge on your birthday, August came for you and took the card away He promised me that he would investigate it and give me an answer But now, I haven't received his reply

Hearing that, Lucia frowned and couldn't utter a single word

Perhaps August had already known that it was Jeanne who had done it. The reason why he hadn't told them was that he wasn't willing to sell his lover out. The reason why he had taken the card was to cover up Jeanne's crime!

A chill suddenly rose in her heart. Lucia Mitchell was so angry that her body trembled, unable to speak for a long time

It seemed that August had already made a choice between her and Jeanne Even if he showed his care and appreciation for her again and again, in the end, she was not as important as Jeanne Kelly in his heart.

Therefore, even though she was the one who had been injured, August would choose to protect Jeanne Kelly!

She had thought that there was something different about him, and had once been loyal to him In the end, she realized that August and Jeanne were the same kinds of people. They were a perfect match!

Lucia felt suffocated with anger, her nose twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes
