The phone rang harshly in the living room. Lucia handed the washed fruit to Timothy and Janet, dried her hands, and
rolled her eyes at August who was reviewing the documents.
"The phone has rung for a long time, and you wouldn't answer it. Is your work so important?" she complained and
handed the phone to him.
August glanced at the screen and muttered, "It's about Daryl. Pick it up."
After getting his permission, she slid the screen to answer the phone, turned on the speaker, and held the phone between
August and her.
"Sir, Mr. Thomas went to the Davenport's house this morning. Ms. Davenport was taken away as soon as she arrived
home. They bought some daily necessities at a local supermarket and went back to the Thomas' house."
Lucia frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why did Paul buy daily necessities?"
"We've checked their shopping records and found that most of the items are prepared for Ms. Davenport. There are no
further moves from him yet."
August tapped the keyboard and said, "Keep watching and keep me updated."
The other party agreed and hung up the phone. Then the phone rang again. She pressed the answer button, turned on the
speaker, and grumbled inwardly that the other party didn't finish his words in one go. August saw the caller ID, but it
was too late for him to stop her. As soon as the line was through, Joshua's anxious came from the other end.
"Ethan escaped. Come over ASAP."
The phone slipped off Lucia's hand and thudded on the floor. "Hasn't Ethan been brought to justice? How come he escaped?"
An inexplicable chill surged out of her heart. She felt cold all over. Even her voice was trembling. Stopping his work, he
immediately grabbed his jacket and rushed toward the door. Not until he went out of sight that she snapped back and
trotted to catch up. When the Maybach just started, she opened the car door, quickly got in, and fastened the belt.
"Let's go."
"Get off," August said sterned. "This is not something you should get involved in."
"It's not up to you. I have the right to know." Lucia got anxious and urged him to drive, "Waste no time. Let's talk along
the way."
August knew how urgent this was, so he didn't wrestle with her. Instead, he hit the gas and drove toward Perfect Fortune
at top speed. The atmosphere in the familiar box was depressing. They pushed open the door and got in before Joshua's
sullen face was seen. Sophie had been tied up on the sofa.
"Dr. Capet?" Her eyes flickering with doubt, Lucia rushed over, "Joshua, what do you think you're doing?"
She tried to untie the woman, but Joshua stopped her. "This is between her and me. Just stay out of it."
"Joshua, damn you, who do you think you are? Mrs. Adams can do whatever she wants. It's none of your business!"
Sophie craned and yelled at him regardless of her image.
Embarrassed, Joshua pulled a long face, picked up a handkerchief from the table, and gagged her.
"She was trying to hit me. You wouldn't have seen me again if I hadn't tied her up."
With a gloomy expression on his face, August sat down beside him and sternly asked, "What exactly happened?" Joshua put away his cynical look. His face and tone turned very serious. "A mole was planted in the police station. He
helped Ethan escape."
"Ethan should have been brought to justice a long time ago. How come he wasn't executed?" Lucia asked sullenly. "There is something you don't know." Joshua took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and took a drag.
The smoke immediately rose. A muffled cough came out of Sophie's gagged mouth, and she glared at him. Upon hearing that, he snubbed out the cigarette without hesitation. His reaction was so natural that he didn't even notice it. "People in the police station intended to get the international network out of his mouth. They naturally would not

execute him so quickly. However, it allowed the enemies to save him."
Lucia was on pins and needles. Her eyes wandered between the two men. She felt that something was hidden. August noticed her doubts and asked in a deep voice, "Who do you think is so powerful to plant a mole in the police
station?"
She immediately figured it out. Joshua pulled a long face and shook his head.
"Neither Flynt nor I have any clue. Ethan and you are mortal enemies. Flynt let me deliver a message. You should get
prepared."
"For sure." August's eyes flickered with resentment but soon regained their profoundness.
He led Lucia to get up and said, "I'll take precautions and wait for your news."
Seeing that he was going to leave, Joshua hurriedly got up. "This issue concerns Lucia and the two children. Are you
