Chapter 541 Lucia Was Scalded

Jeanne held Lucia so hard that her long nails cut directly into Lucia's flesh. Instantly, Lucia frowned in pain.

She turned to stare at Jeanne, with anger in her eyes. "Let me go."

Jeanne clenched her teeth and said in a vicious tone, "If you are trying to tell Olivia, I advise you to give up this idea. before it's too late. Otherwise, you will regret it!"

Faced with Jeanne's threat, Lucia looked even colder. She shook off Jeanne's hand and said coldly, "Jeanne, you can't scare me!"

Jeanne instantly panicked. Seeing Lucia about to walk away, she promptly stepped forward and grabbed her arm again. They stared at each other furiously and a fight was about to break out at that moment. Just then, footsteps suddenly came down the stairs.

They looked over at the same time and saw the maid coming down from the second floor.

The maid looked at them. A trace of surprise flickered in her eyes. Then, her face returned to normal and she said with a smile, "Ms. Mitchell, and Ms. Kelly, you are hungry, right? I'm going to get lunch ready."

Jeanne let go of Lucia's arm, put a smile on her face, and nodded nicely, "Okay, do you need any help?"

With that, she walked away quickly and followed the maid to the kitchen, not forgetting to turn around and glare at Lucia.

An hour or so later, lunch was ready. Jeanne was being nice and helpful to the maid, trying to make a good impression on Olivia and August.

When August came out of the study, he saw Jeanne taking the dishes to the table.

Seeing him, Jeanne looked pleasantly surprised at once and waved at him. "August, are you hungry? We have got the food ready. You can wash your hands and get ready to eat."

August looked calm and gave an "H'm" in response before he wheeled himself to the table.

Soon, Olivia came down as well. She ignored Jeanne who was trying to be nice and just talked to Lucia from the beginning to the end. She didn't even look at Jeanne.

When all the food was almost served, the four of them sat at the table and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. "Grandma, I cooked these ribs in the pressure cooker. The meat is tender. Please try it."

With that, Jeanne picked up a fork and took a piece of ribs for Olivia.

Hearing that, Olivia said lightly, "Thank you."

"August, try this. I made it for you..."

Jeanne kept herself busy with taking food for August.

Once, twice... The more times she did it, the deeper August's frown got.

Finally, he put his fork on the table and said in a cold voice, "Enough, Jeanne. Finish your food quietly, and I'll have Burton take you back later."

With these words, the atmosphere became even more awkward. Jeanne lowered her head and her eyes turned red quickly.

"August, did I do something wrong?"

Before August could say anything, Olivia had already said in a deep voice, "All right, August, stop talking. Let's eat quietly."

Her words sounded powerful. When she said that, Jeanne and August couldn't say any more. The four of them ate their food without talking and silence fell on them.

After a while, Jeanne suddenly remembered something. She quickly got up and said, "Right, there is a soup. I think it's ready!"

With that, she walked quickly to the kitchen.

In a short while, Jeanne came out of the kitchen with an enameled soup bowl. She walked slowly and carefully toward them.

Lucia inadvertently turned around and glanced at Jeanne, feeling a little uneasy for some reason. She frowned and put down the fork in her hand.

Olivia, who was sitting opposite her, saw this and asked, "Why do you stop eating? You don't like the food?" Lucia smiled at Olivia, shook her head, and said, "Yes, it's quite delicious."

Lucia had just finished. Before she had time to turn her head, she heard a scream from her side, followed by a searing pain in her back, then she subconsciously shuddered and screamed.

With a loud "pop", the sound of falling down and the sound of broken porcelain tiles on the ground mixed together. August raised his eyes and opened them wide in anger.

Just now Jeanne carried the pot of hot soup and splashed it squarely on Lucia's back. After that, the soup pot broke on the ground, and Jeanne slipped and fell, causing a mess there.

Olivia saw what happened too. After the panic, she immediately came back to her senses and called out in a hurry,

"Anybody? Lucia was scalded!"

Lucia half bowed her waist, closed her eyes in pain, and sucked in cold air. The hot soup that splashed on her back. stimulated every nerve, making her tremble uncontrollably.

The maids rushed over and when they saw this scene, they immediately helped Lucia to go to cool water.

Olivia could not care much and followed them quickly into the first-floor bathroom.

The accident happened so abruptly. August frowned as he watched them walk into the bathroom. After the door closed, with an aura of coldness emanating from him, August turned his head to look at Jeanne, who was standing next to him holding the table and panting heavily.

With the veins on his neck bulging, he clenched his teeth, "Jeanne...."

Jeanne hurriedly shook her head, "August, I didn't mean to do it and I accidentally slipped on my foot..."

Hearing her say this, August looked colder on his face. With anger brewed quickly in his eyes, he stared at her, and said in a firm tone, "You meant to do it."

"No, I really didn't!"

Jeanne hurriedly stepped forward and reached for August's hand.

Without waiting for her to touch him, August had already waved her hand away with a big wave, "You are really going too far!"

No matter how many vicious things she had done to Lucia before, he didn't want to blame her anymore, but this time, she even did it again in front of him and his grandmother without any care!

He could not stand it anymore!

Jeanne shook her head aggrievedly, like the sad heroine on TV, crying breathlessly, "August, you really misunderstood me! I don't like her, but I wouldn't do that..."

Just then, the bathroom door was violently pushed open and Olivia came out angrily, walking straight towards this way. Jeanne said in a hurry, "Grandma, you'll believe me, right? I really didn't mean to..."
