Chapter 702 Coming to Question Her
"Sir, Ms. Davenport had a walk with Ms. Thomas in the yard this morning. She said it was windy outside and asked me to
prepare a bowl of ginger soup. When I came back to the yard, Ms. Thomas was gone."
"Fool! You're worthless!" Paul bellowed and sullenly asked, "Where is Daryl?"
"Also gone." Dianna's voice trailed off.
He hung up the phone and called Daryl. He waited for a long time, but no one was answering the phone. He tried several
more times, but the result was the same. Archie's message appeared on his phone.
"Sir, I found the footage in the surveillance equipment about to be scrapped."
There was a wasted lawn in the corner of the back wall. No one had attended to it, and the surveillance equipment was
out of repair. It would be scrapped at the end of the year but happened to capture everything. The video was blurry, and
only a corner of the wall was within its range.
Two women appeared on the screen. Although their faces were not captured. He could identify them as Daryl and Paula.
They stopped in their tracks and talked. Two unfamiliar faces then appeared outside. They helped Paula and Daryl to
climb over the wall. He suddenly paused the video, had a screenshot, and zoomed in. Part of a man's face appeared in an
inconspicuous corner.
This man looked familiar to the eye. He thought of Daryl's and Paula's friends till a name crossed his mind. Zane! It was
Zane who was always around Lucia. Archie was instructed to check Lucia's recent activities. Then he learned that she had
been to his house a couple of days ago but met Daryl halfway.
"Daryl! How dare you play games with me!"
He slammed his phone to the passenger side and clutched the steering wheel, his eyes filled with hatred. The grate of the
tires rubbing the road was ear-piercing. The silver car made a sharp turn and sped toward the Adams' house.
Turner hurried into the living room and reported, "Madam, Mr. Thomas is waiting for you at the door. He doesn't look
quite happy."
Lucia had anticipated his arrival. As August said, the security of the Thomas family was good. Sooner or later, he would
find a trace and come to her.
"I see. Let him wait there." Lucia got up, but August suddenly grabbed her arm.
"I'm going with you."
She lightly shook her head. "Just wait here for the sake of Paula's safety. Your presence will only intensify the conflict. He
might take Paula away by force."
August fell silent, slowly loosened his grip, and watch her get out of the living room. He then walked to the balcony and
solemnly looked at the entrance. Paul's face was gloomy to no end but softened the moment Lucia was seen.
"Lucia." He came up, trying to grab her arm.
She slightly turned sideways to evade him. "Mr. Thomas, what brings you here?"
The appellation didn't upset Paul. He just showed a wry look. "Do we have to be like this?"
When she saw him like that, her attitude softened. "Paul, I'm already married to August and have to keep a distance from
you. We shouldn't meet unless there is something important. After all, Cloud Technology and the Lion Group are
competitors."
Paul's arm weakly dropped from mid-air. He collected himself and said, "I know that you took Paula away. I'm here to
take her home."
"Home?" Lucia sneered, "Is the Thomas' residence her home or a cage to hold her?"
Paul clasped his fingers but slowly unclasped them. He couldn't really go hard on Lucia or knew how to respond to her
question. His anger was directed at another person. If it were not for Daryl, Lucia wouldn't have known these things.
"I won't hand Paula over to you. If you're here to start a war, bring it on," Lucia said aloud.
The tough look on her face only made him more depressed. "Why are you so hostile to me? Am I such a wicked person to

you?"
"Yes." She indifferently glanced at his pained face.
