Chapter 697 The Mastermind Behind the Plot

Rewards

Lucia got up wearily the next morning, blaming August in her heart for making her so tried when she still had to work for

the show.

The account of the program had announced Yoyo's withdrawal. And it didn't went with troubles as people on the side of

Yanny and Lucia largely outnumbered Yoyo's fans. Yoyo finally left the resort with her luggage, feeling totally deflated

and glaring resentfully at Lucia, who acted so complacently at the moment. The show afterwards went with less

conflicts and catching points when Yoyo had left, and just continued peacefully until it finally ended.

As soon as their Maybach drove into the Adams' house, Lucia dashed into the living room and sank into the sofa wearily,

calling Elijah up. The moment the call got through, Elijah's voice came before Lucia could say anything, "The live stream

is a hit! The number of Timothy and Janet's fans has rocketed, reaching ten million now! That's awesome!"

Yet Lucia only wanted to roll her eyes, if she still had enough strength to do that. She answered languorously, "But I'm

just calling to inform you that Timothy and Janet won't take part in any show from now on."

After a short silence, Elijah began roaring, "Come on! How can you change your mind so drastically when the money is

flooding towards us?"

"Because it's a ruddy toil!" Lucia exclaimed.

"Please, Lucia! They are getting up the Christmas film of this year -- Christmas Affair 4 and will start filming in two

months. I've won two wonderful roles for Timothy and Janet. Just think, it's produced by the director of international

fame!"

"No..." Lucia was rejecting with a wave of her hand and suddenly paused as she suddenly realized what Elijah was talking

about. She then almost jumped up from the sofa, "What? Is it Leo Wensley you mean?" Leo Wensley was the director she

had always been admiring. She even learnt a lot from his works when she was working as an animation director.

Getting Elijah's confirmation, Lucia was torn between the facts that it was a precious opportunity to work with a

well-known director and that the job itself was a sort of torment, especially when Leo Wensley was famous for his

strictness and high standards, which had already got actors and actresses to complain. "May I have some more time to think about it?" Lucia's tone went much softer now.

With a secret breath of relief, Elijah pretended to be anxious, "You don't have much time to think about it! Places in the

film are so hot that the opportunity can't wait!"

"Then it's just not meant for me if someone else takes it away." she responded casually.

As their conversation went on, August's phone rang. He picked up the phone and went to the balcony to answer it so that

Lucia wouldn't be disturbed. Yet Elijah was so talkative that they hadn't finished the chatting even when August went

back to the living room with a grim look.

Conscious of August's unusual mood, Lucia hastened to end the conversation, "August wants to talk to me. I'll call you

back later, Elijah."

"What could be more important than the film..." Elijah then suddenly broke off and went on with a softer and even

ingratiating voice, "Oh you mean Mr. Adams? His business of course comes first! But don't forget to think over my

suggestion!"

Lucia rang off and approached August, "What's the matter? You don't look well."

"It's about the press briefing." responded August.

Lucia frowned as she remembered a journalist took the liberty of publishing the identity of Timothy and Janet before their wedding, which almost exposed the kids to the sensation. Lucia caught the journalist and passed him to Burton, and August must have got the result of the investigation from Burton just now. Lucia couldn't wait to demand as she

grasped August's arm, "Did the journalist let out anything? Or Burton has dug out any clue?" "We've found out the mastermind behind it..." August broke off after casting a look at her.

With a mixture of eagerness for the answer and the fear for something ominous, Lucia appeared as grim as August. "Let

me know who he or she is." bellowed she. She knew the answer must lie in someone with ties to her, judging from

August's hesitation, which was completely different from his usual manner. He was just afraid it would be too harsh a

fact for Lucia to accept. Lucia thus determined it must be someone she knew.

"Paul Thomas." August's eyes dropped at the floor as he went on after a pause. "Burton found the remittance from

Paul's friend to the journalist."
