Chapter 830 How Dare You Play the Trick on Me!
Lucia sidetracked the subject without difficulty, and got Reggio and August to bear Currer a grudge easily. Currer finally failed to suppress her resentment. "Lucia, stop pretending innocent! Everyone knows you work for the organization, and who knows with what purpose you are approaching the Smith family after so many years!"
The atmosphere in the room crackled with great tension. Before Lucia got around to any protest, August abruptly rose and gave Currer a smack.
"August!' Currer turned her face aside which was suffused with grievance, and questioned desperately. We are so close to each other, as we grow up together. And now you just take in whatever this malicious woman says, only because she fakes an identity for you?"
August's face grew grimmer and his voice sounded chillier, "Shut up if you want to return to Cardiff alive! Make apologies to Mrs. Adams now!"
Unnecessary. Lucia went up to Currer slowly and touched her swollen cheek lightly with a smile, "Miss Sullen, you seem to have forgotten you yourself are not only from the organization, but even from the headquarters..."
As the things went along the unexpected direction, Reggio watched the three people in shock. He couldn't help wondering who they exactly were with a sense of vigilance. He remembered August was still working for the organization here when Currer started collaborating with Cardiff Business Coalition. August was then assigned with important missions only because Currer guaranteed he had lost his memory and the Smith family had watched him for three years. Now, to Reggio's great surprise, the most trusted staff of his and the one who had saved his life both had ties to the organization.
Conscious of the flicker in Currer's eyes, Lucia laughed more confidently, You are the very one who knows why I joined and was expelled by the organization. I've resumed the life of common people now, and I hope you wont get troubles due to your negligence."
Lucia had actually been thinking how to shake off Reggio's doubt raised by the matter of the chip, and now Currer's mistake happened to help Lucia prove her innocence to Reggio, because just a quick investigation would reveal Lucia had no connection with Griffith Organization. There were even rifts between them if the investigation went deeper.
I don't think further contact is necessary since Mr. Smith is skeptical about my background. To be honest, I dislike you very much now." As her tone was getting harsher, Lucia slapped the files onto the table and strode to the door quickly.
Reggio put on a serious look swiftly and stopped her, "Lucia, I'll make it fair to you. Please stay."
Are you trying to fool me, Reggio Smith?" Lucia abruptly dragged him towards her by holding his tie as she snapped with palpable abhorrence. Are you trying to make it fair to me, or seeking a chance to get rid of me when you get the result of the investigation?” She then pushed him away with a snort, and bellowed at his computer, Check my background as you like. And this is the last chance I offer you.’
Gawking at her for quite a while, Reggio seemed to get regretful for the decision he had made just now. He swiftly kept away from her out of respect and suggested with a kind voice, 'Just get yourself refreshed outside and come back when you feel better." He had to admit he now found this woman more charming, and he believed he could accept everything of her as long as his own interests were not touched. But he also swore he would take her life if he failed to win her heart, for he wouldn't let anyone else to enjoy what he couldn't obtain.
Lucia gave him no response, only straightening up and striding out of the room. Seeing her leaving intact, Currer gnashed her teeth and followed up. With a mixture of resentment and jealousy inside her, Currer just couldn’t tolerate any cheerful mood of Lucia.
