Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532 How Could It Be Her?

Luela didn’t take his question seriously, casually sat down beside him, and said, “Whatever. Just give me a glass of wine”

Hearing this, August instantly showed a gloomy look on his handsome face, wondering whether she was pretending not to understand his meaning

Seeing neither him nor Joshua respond, Lancia stretched out her hand in frustration, picked up a clean glass, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands reached out and grabbed her wrist. Lucia was startled. When she turned her head to look. over, she met August’s dark eyes.

Angust moved his lips and said word by word, “You are a woman, so you should not drink alcohol!”

This was what August’s precious question meant, but unexpectedly, she had not taken his hint.

Lucia took a deep breath. After seeing Olivia so sad in the bedroom just now, she felt depressed. She suddenly thought of her parents and children, so she inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

This was what real family members were like. They loved, cared about, and felt worried about each other. Just now, she had seen Olivia who was old having an acupuncture treatment in the bedroom, so she could barely control her emotions.

When she saw them drinking downstairs, she somehow wanted to drink too.

Lucia lowered her eyes, glanced at their wine glasses, and said, “You are drinking! Why can’t I?”

August said coldly, “Because you’re different from us.”

His tone was so domineering that Joshua sitting across from him couldn’t bear it any longer. He suppressed his smile and said, “August, you sounded as if you were disciplining your wife. Stop flirting in front of me. You hurt my eyes!” While speaking, he intentionally glanced at August’s hand that was still holding Lucia’s. Lucia and August also realized it, so they quickly retracted their hands after exchanging glances.

After a hint of embarrassment flashed across August’s face, he raised his hand, picked up a bottle of juice, and put it on the table. And then, he looked up at Joshua and said with a serious expression, “Have you gotten more information about those properties? Has Bishop given any new…”

Before he could finish speaking, a panic-looking bodyguard suddenly ran in the door. When he saw August, he immediately said, “Mr. Adams, something is wrong with that woman…”

When he was about to continue, he suddenly noticed Joshua’s weird expression, so he immediately stopped talking and looked at Lucia with precautions.

August frowned and said coldly, “It’s okay. Keep talking.”

“That woman tried to commit suicide and bit her tongue. Fortunately, we noticed it in time and stopped her. But she is tough…”

When August heard this, his face became gloomier.

When Lucia listened to the report, she unconsciously frowned.

Woman? What woman? Why did not she know this matter had anything to do with a woman?

Before she could ask the question, Joshua sitting across from her stood up and said, “August, don’t worry. I’ll go to take a look”

Then, he left with the bodyguard.

Lucia felt a little uneasy. After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at August and asked, “Who is that woman you were talking about?”

The bodyguard nodded, “Yes.”

Hearing this, August nodded slightly and asked the bodyguard to push his wheelchair and bring him and Lucia in. When the door opened, they saw a gentle slope. The light was dim, and the space was narrow. It turned out to be a basement. When Lucia slowly followed them down, she heard a woman moaning in pain from the depth of the basement. When they arrived at a door, Lucia saw Mandy tied to a post in a dark and damp small room. Her hands were tied to the wooden railing above, her toes barely touched the ground, and her clothes were wet. And there were a few bloodstains. t was not the first time Lucia had seen such a scene. But when she saw her friend tied up by the rope, she still couldn’t bear such visual and psychological impacts. oshua had not expected Lucia to come here, so he impatiently frowned at August and asked, “August, what are you doing?”

August glanced at Lucia who froze in place, hesitated for a moment, and then said coldly, “Joshua, let’s go out first. They need to talk alone.”

though Joshua was surprised to hear it, he guessed something after seeing Lucia’s expression. After he made a gesture,

Il his subordinates left the room, and he also walked out with August.

fter the door was closed, he lit a cigarette, looked at August, and asked, “What’s going on?”

ugust replied lightly, “Lucia and Mandy know each other. I think if Bishop is using her.”

learing this, Joshua instantly understood what he meant. He showed a serious look, kept silent for a few seconds, then stepped forward, wheeled August into the room next door, and said, “Let’s see whether you guessed it right.”

his room was much wider and brighter, and there was a computer that displayed the monitoring images. This was the surveillance room of this villa. All corners were under surveillance, so there were no blind spots inside or outside.

Naturally, they could also see what was happening in the small dark room next door.. oshua wheeled August in front of the screen and then clicked the mouse to zoom in on the monitoring image of the dark.

30m.

took a long time for Lucia to calm down, and then, she finally mustered up the courage to step forward. Talking up to Mandy, she stopped her steps and asked in a faint voice, “How could it be you?”
