Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 He Refused to Give up All His Shares for Her

There were about 20 people led by Bishop, and they stood in a row densely, far more than the people under August. Bishop approached. When he saw August sitting in the wheelchair, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He stepped forward, looked at August, and said with a sneer, “Long time no see, August.”

August’s face was gloomy, and he remained unmoved by Bishop’s hypocritical smile.

When Bishop glanced at Lucia beside August, his smile became stronger. He looked at her and greeted her, “Ms. Mitchell, we meet again. Why are you staying with my elder brother this time? Where is your husband Mr. Thomas?” Bishop was vicious and he was best at poking people in the soft spot. Lucia frowned in disgust and did not answer. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bishop touched his nose, and said in a sarcastic tone, “What? You called me over, but none of you spoke. What do you mean?”

At this moment, the wind blew over, and accompanied by a faint female voice, “Bishop…”

Bishop froze, and he followed the voice almost subconsciously. When he saw a few people on the reef, his face immediately darkened. Wasn’t the woman with messy hair in the middle Mandy?

His heart tightened quickly. Soon the strangeness on his face quickly dissipated, and his face returned to normal, but his smile completely disappeared.

He turned to look at August and said, “What? Are you threatening me?”

August finally said without haste, “It’s just an eye for an eye.”

“I don’t know if you still remember that incident five years ago.”

Bishop didn’t have much patience anymore, and he frowned, “Which incident?”

August said, “The time Lucia was kidnapped and taken to the lighthouse.”

Bishop instantly recalled it. What happened at that time was indeed the result of collusion between him and Ethan. He had thought he would be able to kill August at that time, but unexpectedly August had been lucky enough to survive. This time it was like this again! If he had known earlier, he should have killed him straightforwardly without leaving any future trouble!

“I always thought that Ethan did it himself. I hadn’t figured it out until I found out that you were together.”

August said unhurriedly, “Only the people in the Adams family know that I have a deep-sea phobia. So it was your plan from the very beginning!”

When Lucia heard the words “deep sea phobia”, she suddenly froze. August had a deep-sea phobia. But what did it have to do with what happened five years ago?

At this moment, Bishop sneered, “But you didn’t die in the end, right? You jumped into the sea alone to save this woman, and then dragged her from the sea to the beach, but you didn’t die. I underestimated you.”

Lucia stood aside and froze in shock.

How was this possible? Had August saved her? But in her memory, he had never appeared at all from the beginning to the end!

August sneered, and said suddenly, “You always love to take advantage of other people’s weaknesses. But do you know what Mandy is afraid of?”

Before Bishop could speak, he continued, “She is afraid of heights, and falling into the sea from the reef. This height should be enough.”

Bishop’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t speak for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the woman standing precariously on the edge of the reef with complicated emotions.

He felt that he had never loved this woman before. Even now, he was calm enough, but there was always a strange emotion lurking in his body, making him hesitant and uneasy.

He paused, and then said, “Impossible! There is no need to make this deal.”

At this moment, August said, “If you leave her alone, she will die.”

Bishop laughed, and said fearlessly, “As you wish.”

These words weighed down on Mandy’s heart like a mountain, crushing all her hopes and expectations.

She closed her eyes in pain and tears. Finally, she gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, looked in Bishop’s direction, and suddenly shouted, “Bishop, I was wrong about you!”

This heart-piercing cry seemed to have exhausted all of Mandy’s strength, and it was loud enough for everyone over there to hear.

Bishop’s eyes widened suddenly, and he glanced at the mobile phone in Burton’s hand. He suddenly reacted and looked towards the reef over there.

Mandy suddenly pushed away the people around and jumped straight into the sea. The moment she jumped off the reef, Bishop’s eyes suddenly widened and he trembled. He blurted out, “No!”

His heart seemed to be clenched by something suddenly. It was trampled on vigorously, causing severe pain. He couldn’t help approaching the reef.

He wasn’t the only one who was frightened. Lucia was also trembling all over and her knees felt weak

August frowned and looked over there. Did Mandy just jump off the reef like this? It was not part of his plan!
