Chapter 536 He Refused to Give up All His Shares for Her
There were about 20 people led by Bishop, and they stood in a row densely, far more than the people under August. Bishop approached. When he saw August sitting in the wheelchair, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He stepped forward, looked at August, and said with a sneer, “Long time no see, August.”
August’s face was gloomy, and he remained unmoved by Bishop’s hypocritical smile.
When Bishop glanced at Lucia beside August, his smile became stronger. He looked at her and greeted her, “Ms. Mitchell, we meet again. Why are you staying with my elder brother this time? Where is your husband Mr. Thomas?” Bishop was vicious and he was best at poking people in the soft spot. Lucia frowned in disgust and did not answer. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bishop touched his nose, and said in a sarcastic tone, “What? You called me over, but none of you spoke. What do you mean?”
At this moment, the wind blew over, and accompanied by a faint female voice, “Bishop…”
Bishop froze, and he followed the voice almost subconsciously. When he saw a few people on the reef, his face immediately darkened. Wasn’t the woman with messy hair in the middle Mandy?
His heart tightened quickly. Soon the strangeness on his face quickly dissipated, and his face returned to normal, but his smile completely disappeared.
He turned to look at August and said, “What? Are you threatening me?”
August finally said without haste, “It’s just an eye for an eye.”
“I don’t know if you still remember that incident five years ago.”
Bishop didn’t have much patience anymore, and he frowned, “Which incident?”
August said, “The time Lucia was kidnapped and taken to the lighthouse.”
Bishop instantly recalled it. What happened at that time was indeed the result of collusion between him and Ethan. He had thought he would be able to kill August at that time, but unexpectedly August had been lucky enough to survive. This time it was like this again! If he had known earlier, he should have killed him straightforwardly without leaving any future trouble!
“I always thought that Ethan did it himself. I hadn’t figured it out until I found out that you were together.”
August said unhurriedly, “Only the people in the Adams family know that I have a deep-sea phobia. So it was your plan from the very beginning!”
When Lucia heard the words “deep sea phobia”, she suddenly froze. August had a deep-sea phobia. But what did it have to do with what happened five years ago?
At this moment, Bishop sneered, “But you didn’t die in the end, right? You jumped into the sea alone to save this woman, and then dragged her from the sea to the beach, but you didn’t die. I underestimated you.”
Lucia stood aside and froze in shock.
How was this possible? Had August saved her? But in her memory, he had never appeared at all from the beginning to the end!
August sneered, and said suddenly, “You always love to take advantage of other people’s weaknesses. But do you know what Mandy is afraid of?”
Before Bishop could speak, he continued, “She is afraid of heights, and falling into the sea from the reef. This height should be enough.”
Bishop’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t speak for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the woman standing precariously on the edge of the reef with complicated emotions.
He felt that he had never loved this woman before. Even now, he was calm enough, but there was always a strange emotion lurking in his body, making him hesitant and uneasy.
