Chapter 472 Wait for the Sentence
Paul said heavily, "Yes. We shall
If they didn't release Jeanne, August would definitely play hardball. By then, both sides would suffer great losses. Lucia felt so disappointed She then changed the topic and chatted with Paul for a while before hanging up
On which part of the plan did we make mistakes? Our measures, sticks or carrots, all failed to cajole anything out of Jeanne. Why?
Or, did we wrong Jeanne in the first place?
Lucia soon denied the idea that they wronged Jeanne.
She believed in her instinct. She believed that Jeanne was the driver of the car that hit her.
She firmly believed in her speculation regardless the lack of clues.
Lucia clenched her fists.
After pondering, she had made up her mind. Perhaps, she could take another trip to the police station and investigate the entire event from another angle.
Meanwhile, a white van suddenly stopped by the roadside of a boulevard in Austos. The car door was opened, and a person was thrown out. Then, the car whooshed away
Jeanne fell to the ground like a drowned rat. She had had no food since her capture. She was hungry and weak, and could finally feel a little relaxed after all the nervousness inflicted by the frights and threats.
At this moment, a black Maybach approached her. It stopped beside her, and opened its car door Soon, a man came down and helped her into the car.
Jeanne caught August in his black suit at first sight as she entered the car She broke into tears and cried, "August, you finally come to save me.
She had thought that someone would come to her rescue. Unexpectedly, she was left alone in the damp basement for the whole night and wasn't released until this moment.
August extracted several tissues and handed them to her. "It's okay now. Let me take you home."
Jeanne didn't take the tissues but aggrievedly held August's hands. She said sobbingly, "August, I've never been treated like that before! Paul Thomas should dare to kidnap me! You gotta revenge me on him
Hearing this, August frowned imperceptibly. "Jeanne, you really have never done anything that would offend the Thomas, haven't you?"
Paul wasn't impulsive. He wouldn't strike merely for a hearsay
August looked at if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Jeanne looked more pitiful after hearing August's words. "August, what should I do to make you believe me? I never did anything.
August narrowed his eyes which showed some dangerous light of cunning "Then, why would Paul kidnap you?"
Lucia faced the man's stare and somehow lost her confidence. "I... I don't know!"
August said, "It is said that a clean hand wants no washing. If you are keeping anything from me, Jeanne, I won't be able to protect you either by then if you really do
His words were so naked and so direct that Jeanne's face turned pale at once
Was August also suspecting her?
Before she could reply, the man had looked away He said, "Do you understand?"
Jeanne wanted to defend herself but she couldn't utter a word.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "August, I, truly, didn't do anything"
She had no other option except a firm denial.
Disappointment flashed through the bottom of August's eyes. He then cast Jeanne a meaningful glance and said heavily.
'Good'
Then, he showed reluctance to continue the conversation.
Lucia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and found that the corners of her clothes had been wrinkled by her unwitting grips of nervousness
Soon, the car arved at their villa After Jeanne got off the car, she turned to August, who showed no intention to join her and invited, "August, can you stay with me today? I am afraid
