Chapter 529 Reaching an Agreement

The two of them stared at each other silently. The surroundings were so quiet that the chirps of the insects in the grass

could be heard. Neither of them spoke.

August took a deep breath, suddenly looked away, and said softly, "You are not one of Bishop's people, so he won't let

you go."

Lucia was puzzled, so she asked, "What do you mean?"

A glimmer of light flashed across August's eyes, but he said in a very calm voice, "They've long bound us together. Do

you remember what Ethan has done to you?"

Lucia was slightly startled and then nodded.

"I am going against them now, so you must take my side. Even if you don't choose me, they will still use you as a hostage to threaten me. And 1..." August paused, and his Adam's apple slid up and down. Then, he said lightly, "I won't let them.

hurt you."

Hearing this, Lucia was a little surprised. After she thought carefully about what he had said just now in her mind, she

suddenly realized something and then tensed up.

Bishop and Ethan always bound her and August together and used her as a hostage to threaten him. And they had taken advantage of her to find him this time. They had been making use of her against him from the very beginning. She felt as

if there were an invisible line between her and August, binding and pulling them. Just now, Lucia had a flash of

inspiration and suddenly figured it out.

The invisible line between her and August was the kids. If Bishop and Ethan had not known Timothy and Janet were

August's blood, they would not have used her against him again and again. After she thought about it carefully, she was

sure they knew it. Realizing this, she had a lingering fear, so she raised her eyes to look at August. Seeing that his

complexion was calm, she was secretly relieved.

More and more people had known the secret of her children. Jeanne, Bishop, and Ethan... These terrible people might

make use of them at any time, and this was what she feared the most. Even if she did not choose August's side, they

would still threaten him with her children. She felt scared at the thought of this matter. And she knew she had no choice.

now.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at August, bit her lower lip, and said, "I can stand on your side, but I have a request." August raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What request?"

Lucia said firmly, "Send people to protect my family. I don't want them to get hurt because of me."

August's eyes darkened, and then, he nodded, "Deal."

Lucia took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm on your side now."

She would rather choose a side from the very beginning than be neutral and passive. Since she would be involved in this

chaotic battle no matter what, she preferred to prepare well and fight for herself and her family. She had once thought.

about hiding, but the facts had proved hiding could not solve problems.

Suddenly, August said in a deep voice, "From now on, you must completely trust me."

Lucia came back to her senses, looked into his shining black eyes, and nodded, "Okay, but you must trust me too."

When they had met again this time, they had doubted each other. But now, there seemed to be a strange glue between

them, pulling them closer.

Looking at her, August suddenly thought of something, so he said slowly, "After this problem is solved, I will give you

the evidence of Jeanne's assault when Paula recovers."
