Chapter 825 Hit Where It Hurts
'Two years ago, you were afraid that August will find your plan. So you cooperated with the offshore forces to attack him. Even if he had a narrow escape, he forgot everything that you took the chance."
The tone of Edmund was getting more and more gloomy that Currer even didn't dare to look him in the eye but squeezed her handbag in panic. She stammered, 'This is just how you think not the truth. I had been acquainted with August for many years. It is natural for him to fall in love with me."
'That’s because he forgot about Lucia and the two children..." Edmund interrupted her unkindly. "I think you had better take him back to Cardiff as soon as possible, lest you pay a double cost and delay my plans."
Currer fell in too deep though hearing his words.
She had no choice but to bring August back from Cardiff, and she had never expected to meet Lucia at this cocktail party.
After Lucia abdicated from Lion Group, she was rarely exposed to these business matters, and today's appearance is indeed very strange unless someone deliberately led her over.
Thinking of this, Currer looked at Edmund with a wary expression. "I would like to warn you, don't play any tricks with me. I will leave after I finish my own stuff. If you dare to provoke the ones behind me, you may fall behind your altar."
As she finished, she left the bathroom with a dignified face, and her shoulders hit his.
Lucia muddled back to the villa. Her two children were already sitting seriously in the living room. Lucia was still in her costume for performing, with a disgruntled face glaring at her.
When she suddenly realized that she got stood up with this little girl, her heart thumped. She forced a very flattering smile and came up to pinch Janet's cheeks.
"My baby girl, you performed great today! Though I was not able to be there, I had been watching the live stream in front of my laptop. I am so proud of you!"
Janet could not help but give Lucia a white look and knocked her hand off as her gaze fell on her brother.
'Timothy had been with me all the time, so he can prove that I was watching your performance with all my attention, "Lucia said and scowl at Timothy, trying to get some good words for herself.
"Alright. I am not mature enough for age but enough to see through your tricks as a mature actress."
Janet nailed her lie and asked in a low voice. 'Tell me, what happened tonight? Timothy told me that you were ready to face your death again?"
"Death? No way! I came home every time safely, didn’t I?" Hearing Janet's words, she shrank her neck in guilty.
The wheel of fortune had turned. Since she completely let go of everything, these two little ones did not take her seriously any longer but from time to time to "lecture" her.
Janet glared at her angrily with her voice full of indignation. "These two years you had been doing your assignments at the risk of your life. Have you ever thought about our feelings? If you were found out today, even ten Flynt can not save you!"
Hearing this, Lucia pursed her lips slightly. The scene that August taking away the chip came into her mind again.
Timothy raised his eyes and have a look at her. Then he asked slowly, 'The accident should have been avoided, why didn't you put it back as planned?"
"I..." Looking into his deep eyes, she could not think of any excuse to put off this question.
