The next day, Elijah called early in the morning.

Chapter 688 The Resort

"Ms. Mitchell, the parent child reality show asked us to finalize the schedule today. Have you considered it?"

Lucia leisurely ate her breakfast, as cool as a cucumber, which was a sharp contrast with the anxious voice on the phone.

"Elijah, you should know I do not advocate for kids entering the entertainment industry."

"Please, Ms. Mitchell, just this once, okay? My performance bonus is dependent on you now," Elijah said pitifully.

Only then did she reluctantly agree. She added, "Let's make it clear in advance that everything in the agreement must be based on my

requirements. Otherwise, I will not sign it."

"Fine, fine, fine." Elijah knew that she was not an unreasonable person and would not make things difficult for others on purpose. He

immediately agreed and said, "As long as you are willing to participate in the reality show, even if you want the moon in the sky, I will

give it to you."

Lucia was amused by his words. After exchanging a few more words, she hung up the phone.

She looked at August curiously. "Why did you agree to participate in the reality show? You don't look like someone who likes being in the

limelight however I look at it."

"For the company and for the children, I'm willing," August responded softly.

The confusion in her eyes deepened.

"It can help spur the company's stock market. Once the stock market price increases, the company can expand further." As he spoke, his

gaze fell on Timothy and Janet.

"Haven't you always been worried that their identities being exposed would cause you trouble? The best way to keep them safe is by

putting them in the public's radar."

After August finished speaking, it finally dawned on Lucia.

He was right! Why didn't she think of it?

In a situation where Timothy and Janet were well known by the public, any small accident would be infinitely magnified by the public. The

faster the news spread, the greater her chances were of rescuing them.

After all, the higher the popularity of the two children, the greater the chance of them being recognized by the public. The public eye was

more efficient than a monitoring device.

This way, nobody would target these two "time bombs" that could possibly go off at any moment!

"August Adams, you're such a sly old fox!" she muttered softly after making the realization.

Her voice was just loud enough for him to catch it. The corners of his lips lifted as he answered in a low voice, "Thanks for the praise." "I wasn't praising you!" Lucia was a little speechless.

After the two of them had breakfast, she visited the Thomas family mansion. She was anxious because she hadn't heard from Paula in a

while.

However, she didn't manage to see Paula or Paul. She didn't even manage to step foot inside the mansion. A housekeeper had briefly answered a few of her questions, saying that Paul was working overtime and she wasn't sure about Paula.

That night, when Paul heard that Lucia had come over, he sent her a message to explain that Paula was preparing for a concert, so she

had been inside her room all day.

It was only then that Lucia felt herself calming down.

The reality show was filmed and broadcasted live to the public. When the camera crew arrived at the Adams family home, the cameras

were already rolling and broadcasting everything live.

August helped Lucia into the crew's vehicle in a gentlemanly behavior. After that, Timothy and Janet also appeared on camera.

The two little kids each had a cartoon backpack on their shoulders and they were also wearing matching caps. They looked so similar to each other. The audience comments on the live broadcast platform immediately grew tenfold.

"The kids look so much cuter in real life than on the promotional posters!"

"I know now why the kids are so cute. Their parents' genes are too good! Glad to know they weren't wasted after all."

"You're making me want more kids!"

"I'm going to kidnap those two adorable babies..."

Lucia read the live comments on the camera crew's iPad and smiled happily. Even the driver couldn't help praising Timothy and Janet. The atmosphere in the car was very harmonious. Timothy and Janet occasionally looked at the camera and started chatting with the

audience.

"Do you like me or Timothy more?"

"I'm not the same as Timothy! He doesn't listen to Mom and keeps playing games on his computer. I'm the best behaved at home."

When Janet was done talking, the camera panned to Timothy. Sure enough, he had August's work laptop open and was looking at

something.

The comment section exploded again. "Wow, he knows how to use technology at such a young age! He must be reading a lot!" "I wish he was my kid! I'm so jealous of them."

"The kidnappers are here and heading toward their filming location now!"

Lucia was worried when she saw that people were paying so much attention to Timothy and Janet. She didn't know if she was doing the

right thing to expose them to the public.

Seeing that August was very calm about the whole thing, she forced herself to think optimistically.
