chapter 823 Return

"Let me go!" She warned in a low voice, trying to get rid of him. "Mr. Smith, this is my place. Please show some respect to me."

Reggio didn't find the chip he wanted, his face looked more disapproving. Without a single word to explain, he shook off his hand and walked away in quick strides.

Not until she can take a deep breath, a tall and upright figure heaved into her sight.

August...

Her fingers cannot help trembling, and her legs were heavy. She straightened her back and went through the crowd, which is so tough.

Seeing the man who she yearned for day and night, she paused her steps suddenly. She started the scene in front of her, in disbelief.

She didn’t know when Currer walked to August, standing by his side. Her fair slim arm held his naturally, and her head even leaned on his shoulder.

This scene was dazzling to her. She balled her hand into a fist, with so much force that her fingernails even left some marks on her palm.

She shouted, and cried from the bottom of her heart. She wished that he would push Currer away.

Unfortunately, he did not.

August gently put the hair over her forehead aside, as he did this, he whispered something beside her ears. Then Currer chuckled girly and threw herself into his arms.

She took steps back. The table nearby supported her or she would fail.

She did her best to control the impulsiveness of questioning him and she kept telling herself —

PANG!

Just a moment spacing out, the wine tower beside her fell onto the ground. Everyone moved their gazes to her, and their expressions were hard to describe.

It was hard to imagine a woman who had so much authority in Austos now can fall into such an awkward situation.

The bouquet of wine diffused in the surrounding air, and the bright red liquid spilled on her pure white dress. She raised her head to look at August subconsciously, trying to find anything, anything from his indifferent face, but he stared at her like a stranger always.

Her heart fell. Her cold gaze fell upon Currer and at the same time Currer side-eyed in her direction.

After meeting each other’s eyes, there was panic for one second flashing across her face, which seemed like meeting Lucia was out of her expectation. But she adjusted herself quickly and become more intimate with August. It seemed that she did not want to greet her.

These little things, Lucia had already caught all. Suddenly she came up with a good idea. After taking a deep breath, she rubbed the wine stains on her dress, walking towards Currer with big strides.

"Long time no see, Currer." She talked first.

Currer held his arm intimately, the panic seconds before had already gone.

Now when she faced Lucia, there was only smug in her eyes. It’s like she was the final champion.

"Wow, I would never think that you would be the first I met, my old friend."

She had never seen Lucia like this before. She had to admit that she was kind of scared. Two years had passed, and Lucia had become a big deal that can threaten her.

As Currer finished, not until Lucia reacted, she felt a force, which scratched her arm and pushed her away. After he did this. August held Currer into his arms gently, showing protectiveness.

Now, Currer was like a frightened bunny, hiding in his arms obediently. But the complacent in her eyes was even more. If she can, she will stand in front of her with her nose in the air.

"Miss. No matter what happened in the past between you and Currer, I won't allow you to harm my fiancée. If you dare to try again, I won’t be easy on you."

The next thing she felt, was the warmness that suddenly fell on her shoulder, which came from Edmund's blazer. It wrapped her slim body inside. And then a voice came behind her, which was gentle as water.

August gazed at him coldly with the same cold tone. "Who gives you the courage to root for her?"

"I am asking her out, and I am willing to take on all these. Does that make sense?" Edmund stared into August’s eyes with a fake smile.

"If you lay your hands on my woman, I hope you can bear the consequences, too.'The coldness in August's tone was downright. Even in the deepest place of his eyes, there was no wave.

In the past, she always brought trouble to him but he always protected her, exactly the same as he protected Currer now - The woman he was protecting, had changed into another.

This kind of thing happened, not because they had broken up, but because someone was operating behind them. She would never, ever, allow this to happen.

As she came to this point, she straightened her back and forwarded her chin, walked in front of him, and said, "Remember my name - Lucia Mitchell. It won't be a new one for you in the future."

Something flashed in Edmund's eyes. He put his arm around her shoulders. "It was too late. Let me send you home."
