Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825 Hit Where It Hurts

'Two years ago, you were afraid that August will find your plan. So you cooperated with the offshore forces to attack him. Even if he had a narrow escape, he forgot everything that you took the chance."

The tone of Edmund was getting more and more gloomy that Currer even didn't dare to look him in the eye but squeezed her handbag in panic. She stammered, 'This is just how you think not the truth. I had been acquainted with August for many years. It is natural for him to fall in love with me."

'That’s because he forgot about Lucia and the two children..." Edmund interrupted her unkindly. "I think you had better take him back to Cardiff as soon as possible, lest you pay a double cost and delay my plans."

Currer fell in too deep though hearing his words.

She had no choice but to bring August back from Cardiff, and she had never expected to meet Lucia at this cocktail party.

After Lucia abdicated from Lion Group, she was rarely exposed to these business matters, and today's appearance is indeed very strange unless someone deliberately led her over.

Thinking of this, Currer looked at Edmund with a wary expression. "I would like to warn you, don't play any tricks with me. I will leave after I finish my own stuff. If you dare to provoke the ones behind me, you may fall behind your altar."

As she finished, she left the bathroom with a dignified face, and her shoulders hit his.

Lucia muddled back to the villa. Her two children were already sitting seriously in the living room. Lucia was still in her costume for performing, with a disgruntled face glaring at her.

When she suddenly realized that she got stood up with this little girl, her heart thumped. She forced a very flattering smile and came up to pinch Janet's cheeks.

"My baby girl, you performed great today! Though I was not able to be there, I had been watching the live stream in front of my laptop. I am so proud of you!"

Janet could not help but give Lucia a white look and knocked her hand off as her gaze fell on her brother.

'Timothy had been with me all the time, so he can prove that I was watching your performance with all my attention, "Lucia said and scowl at Timothy, trying to get some good words for herself.

"Alright. I am not mature enough for age but enough to see through your tricks as a mature actress."

Janet nailed her lie and asked in a low voice. 'Tell me, what happened tonight? Timothy told me that you were ready to face your death again?"

"Death? No way! I came home every time safely, didn’t I?" Hearing Janet's words, she shrank her neck in guilty.

The wheel of fortune had turned. Since she completely let go of everything, these two little ones did not take her seriously any longer but from time to time to "lecture" her.

Janet glared at her angrily with her voice full of indignation. "These two years you had been doing your assignments at the risk of your life. Have you ever thought about our feelings? If you were found out today, even ten Flynt can not save you!"

Hearing this, Lucia pursed her lips slightly. The scene that August taking away the chip came into her mind again.

Timothy raised his eyes and have a look at her. Then he asked slowly, 'The accident should have been avoided, why didn't you put it back as planned?"

"I..." Looking into his deep eyes, she could not think of any excuse to put off this question.

Soon, the familiar figure came into view.

August stepped into the lane with steady strides, and from time to time he looked back. And several men in black were following behind him. Same as Lucia.

When they met the next intersection. August suddenly stopped, and he stood still as if he was waiting for someone. Until the men in black approached closer, he slowly opened his mouth with a chilling voice that made people shudder. "What do you want to say? You can come out and tell me, no need to hide."

"You shouldn't come back..." The leader of the man hummed. "Our boss wants your life!"

As he finished, these men ran forwards together, blocked his way, and began to hit him. The noise of fighting came out of the lane soon.

There was a shrewd light that flashed across Lucia's eyes. And she was about to warm up and rush into the lane, just like a hero. However, out of her expectation, when she stepped into the lane, August was staring at her with cold eyes.

Those men in black were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. And August, who was like a pass-by, was not seemed to be bothered by the fight at all.

A trace of embarrassment flashed quickly on Lucia’s face. She smiled awkwardly and waved at him. "Well, what a coincidence..."

"Ms. Lucia was passing by?" He sneered, half smiling.

At this moment Lucia did not know where to put herself. And she could only explain reluctantly. "In fact... I am waiting for you here for some purposes. But I have never thought I would see such amazing things..."

She responded with a lack of confidence. "I hope you could give me some minutes. Since I have got something really important that I need your help."
