Chapter 580 She'll Never Get away with It!
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Lucia's face quickly. She took a deep breath and asked, "Mom, when did you get here?" Elisa got a complicated expression. She walked up with some hesitation, gently took Lucia's hand and took her to the balcony.
"I didn't mean to. Your father said he had a sore throat, so I came down to make tea that reduces internal heat. I had just finished boiling
the water in the kitchen when I heard a noise outside, and as soon as I came out, I saw you and Paul..." Elisa said and suddenly stopped.
She and Lucia glanced at each other. Actually, she didn't not have to finish. It was all clear to them.
Elisa sighed softly, then asked, "What's going on with you two?"
It was common for couples to quarrel and argue, but most of their quarrels would be soon mended. There was nothing that couldn't be overcome. But she saw Lucia and Paul quarrel today, and she felt that thing were not simple.
Lucia took a deep breath, hesitated and said nothing. In fact, from the beginning, she had been hiding if from her parents, the true
identities of Timothy and Janet, her real marital status with Paul, all these secrets, she had never revealed to Bill and Elisa, because she did not want them to worry about her. But unexpectedly, they had been bumped into by her mother in such a situation. Lucia kept silent and refused to say anything, so Elisa did not ask more. She just took Lucia's hand and said earnestly, "Lucia, you know, you are now the mother of two children, not the girl before. Even if there is something between you, you should not have refused Paul..." Lucia knew exactly what Elisa was talking about. Just now when she and Paul were in the living room, she refused Paul and finally even slapped him, all of which must have been seen by Elisa.
Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "Mom, I know. You don't have to worry."
Hearing her say so, Elisa nodded, "Okay, it's late. You should take a shower and rest. Don't think about it too much."
Lucia smiled at her and nodded her head, "Okay."
Back upstairs in the bedroom, Lucia took a shower. After finishing, she dried her hair and sat on the bed, but she was not half sleepy. She lay down, tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully. Finally, she picked up her phone and sent a message to August, "Paula has returned. It's time to fulfill what you promised me before."
The massage was short and the tone was firm. She didn't want anything more to do with August. If it wasn't for the flash drive, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact him. Whether or not August would give the flash drive to Paula voluntarily depended on his consciousness.
After doing this, she threw the phone aside and turned off the light to sleep. It seemed that because of the text message, she quickly fell asleep, and rarely, she slept soundly.
The next morning, when Lucia woke up, she turned on her phone and saw the text message she had received from August, with one simple word, "OK"
Lucia felt somehow disappointed, but this emotion quickly disappeared. She got up and went into the bathroom. Originally, Lucia thought she could have a quiet day, but who knew that just in the afternoon, she received a phone call from Paula,
"Hello, Paula?"
Paula's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a serious tone, "Lucia, are you available now?"
Lucia casually closed the book in her hand, "Yeah, what's up?"
Hanging up the phone, Lucia hurriedly returned to her room, changed her clothes, and then left after telling Elisa. Half an hour later, she arrived at the address that Paula had sent her. It was a district police station. She parked her car nearby, and then hurried towards the gate. From a distance, she saw Burton and Paula standing at the entrance. Paula also saw her and waved his arm her from a good distance.
Lucia quickly went up the steps, smiled at them, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Paula answered without hesitation, "Long ready! Just waiting for you!" At this time, she felt at ease with Lucia by her side. She took Lucia's hand and took big strides towards the inside.
When they arrived at the front desk, after explaining the situation to the staff, they were immediately received. Two police officers made a simple self-introduction, "Hello, I'm John White. I'm in charge of this major case investigation. This is recorder Henry.'
After the introduction, he asked everyone to sit down, and then said softly, "All right, you guys start with the basics."
Lucia and Paula glanced at each other, then Paula turned her head to the police and said softly, "I'm the one involved, so I'll go first." She told the officer exactly what happened at that time, "That's about it."
The recorder, Henry, had a pen in his hand and was writing it down in his note. Then Officer White asked, "Okay, let me ask, did you see who was sitting in the car?"
Paula hesitated and shook her head, "No."
Officer White nodded, then asked, "Okay, then I have one more question. Why didn't you think of coming to the police two months ago, but had to come today? You're dragging this out, and it's not good for our investigation."
"Because..." Paula looked up and her face slightly turned pale, "Because of that car accident, I almost became a vegetable."
