chapter 824 Trap
Walking out of the Austos International, Lucia shivered a bit. The scene she just saw before she got out of the lobby was still lingering in her mind.
These two, August and Currer, were talking and joking with Reggio. It seemed like they were well acquainted with each other.
and
Why these three would be together chatting? And why Currer had been to Cardiff? What had August gone through these two years? Do they know about the dirty trades behind Reggio?
All of these questions were overwhelming, and now they plied together, making her mind in chaos.
"Lucia? Lucia..."
The worried voice of Edmund raised. She suddenly came to her senses. Then she pretended to be easy, and she said, "Thank you for helping me today. We could invite Philip, and I will treat you two to a feast. But, now, I have something important to do.”
"Lucia, anything, we could just talk about it tomorrow. I will send you home first. About what happened today... You should not overthink it. Maybe it was his own choice."
It was clear in their mind that "him" referred to August. These two years, he had lost contact with anyone and now he acted like a stranger to others. Anyone would think that he wanted to move on.
Lucia shook her head helplessly and held her horses to explain, "These two years I had realized so many things. So, no more wishful thinking. And now, I have got something urgent to do. No kidding."
"Yeah? If you are just as easy as you said, that would be amazing." Edmund forced a smile. "Lucia, I don't think you have no idea about how much I love you... If you have realized everything, why are you always rejecting me?"
"I...I have to go..." Lucia shot out her hand to hail a taxi and hurried to leave.
Only when Edmund's figure disappeared entirely, she finally leaned against the seat and signed in relief. She did not notice the figure of the man swiftly stepping into the hotel again.
If it was not for Philip, if it was not for the past truth, she would never fall into such entanglements with Edmund!
At that time, after she handled matters related to August, she make an excuse that 'she was not in a good mood to pick up Philip. And she tucked these children and Sophie into Daryl’s.
At first, she showed great repulsion. But the children had only pleaded for some minutes, then she surrendered, and enjoyed their stay.
While Edmund was not around, Philip's therapy was going very well. He had learned how to communicate with people clearly very fast, and he did not want to get back to Edmund any longer. Instead, he began to follow behind Timothy to learn, whatever.
While Sophie was doing therapy with Philip, she was also trying to divert Daryl. Finally, all of them came to realize the true reason why Daryl did not want to be with Paul.
On the one hand, she overdosed that it would be almost impossible for her to carry a child. She did not want him to go through this with her.
On the other hand, both of them knew about the existence of Currer, and they were both aware of the things the Thomas were planning. What's more, the Thomas had always been planning to wipe her off. So in this way, she did not want Paul to be involved.
While these people were staying at her home, Lucia gained lots of useful information and tracked Edmund and Currer by following clues. But at that time, Currer suddenly moved to Cardiff so Lucia went off the scent and she could only wait until now.
'You knew that I have no interest in what you planned for Griffith. My aim had been August all the time. Now he came back to my sight, so I have something else to do."
"All the staff will be at your disposal as planned, as long as you need them. "Flynt responded in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Lucia sneered. She slowly raised up and walked to the door, and disdainfully, she hummed. "Though I don't believe you anymore, it sounds good, relatively."
"It was not until her figure completely disappeared in the Griffith that Flynt came back from his dismay. Then he shook his head with a dumbfounded smile and dialed a phone call.
'This girl is getting more and more sharp-tongued. She does not put me in the eyes... You need to speed up the progress, or she will find your plan, it won't be long..."
At the same time, the dinner at Austos International finally came to an end. Currer just finished putting makeup in the bathroom. When she was about to leave, suddenly she was vigorously dragged into the cubicle aside.
Edmund covered her mouth tightly, and his eyes seemed to be on the verge of spitting fire. "Why did you bring him back at this key point. You STUPID USELESS DUMB BITCH!"
"Currer struggled with great force, and finally pushed him away. She couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. "Edmund Shea, our cooperation had been over since long ago! Now you should not interrupt my life."
"What's more, you are making no progress. I have been in love with August for more than a year, BUT YOU ARE STILL A BACK-UP!"
Edmund sneered immediately. 'You can even kill August by your hands, I can't..."
Currer’s face twisted suddenly, she wanted to shut his mouth. "Don’t bullshit! I saved him!" "Are you sure?" He approached Currer step by step.
