Chapter 372Chapter 372 Willing
Jeanne's tone wasn't sharp, but her words seemed to be very meaningful.Those words were more like
a warning, a sarcastic comment and rebuke.
It was quite obvious to Lucia.
Jeanne was trying to make her feel bad.
Jeanne was trying to hint that Lucia was destroying another man's family and was being a mistress.
Lucia frowned, her voice deepened slightly, she looked firmly at Jeanne and said, "Ms.Kelly don't worry,
I have my own family, I have my own things to guard, I won't be as unaware as you say.Moreover, even
if you don't warn me, I don't want to have anything to do with him anyway."
"Is that so?"
Jeanne's face suddenly turned a little colder, and she pointedly looked at Lucia.
"Are you thinking that I don't know about your meeting with August?"
Lucia frowned and was about to speak, who knew that Jeanne had already continued, "I hope you
won't ruin my marriage, since you also don't want to have anything to do with him, then this job should
be canceled, and I will pay for the breach of contract."
Her voice was a bit cold, and her superior appearance was like that of a giver.
Lucia looked at her, her heart inexplicably welled up with anger.She had never been the type to be
irresponsible, and if she broke her contract, not only would she have no professional ethics, but she
would also be setting a bad example for Timothy and Janet, and she didn't want that.She gritted her teeth, raised her eyes to look at Jeanne, and said in a firm tone, "That won't be
necessary, I will finish my work properly, but I can guarantee that I won't have anything to do with
August outside of work again, please be rest assured."
After saying that, Lucia stood up, turned around and walked away, towards the direction of Timothy and
Janet over there.
The matter had come to this point, there was no need for her to continue talking with Jeanne.
Lucia was only afraid that if she continued, she would not be able to resist a fight with Jeanne.
Jeanne sat where she was, raised her head to look at Lucia's receding figure.
Coldness flashed in her eyes.
She was determined that one day, she would make Lucia pay! Ten minutes later, Jeanne chatted with
the director and left the shooting site.
Lucia raised her head and looked at the car that was slowly driving away, and her guard was slowly
lowered.
Lucia didn't mention the things that Jeanne did to her five years ago, but that didn't mean she didn't
know.
At the moment, it was pointless falling out with Jeanne, but Lucia still kept her guard up.
In a short while, the shooting site was busy again, the shoot was continuing as planned.
Soon, two hours passed and the day's task was almost done.
Lucia sat under a tree and slowly got lost in her own thoughts.She unconsciously remembered the things that she talked about when she met with Jeanne in the
afternoon, her heart was dull and stuffy.
It was as if she was being pressed down by a giant stone.
This time when she met Jeanne, she obviously felt that Jeanne had changed.Jeanne was more direct
than before, at least now she did not care to be so pretentious in front of her.
But she made her words clear, which meant that she would be more daring, and if something didn't go
her way, Lucia was afraid that she would do something even more terrible.
With that thought in mind, Lucia's heart skipped a beat, and an unspeakable feeling of tension instantly
surged to her heart.
She came back to her senses and hurriedly raised her head to look in the direction of the shooting site,
but did not see the figures of Timothy and Janet.
Lucia stood up, and hurriedly looked around.
The staff were packing up their things, and it looked like they were planning to call it a day, so she
looked around and couldn't find Timothy and Janet.
Instantly, it was as if there was a big invisible hand that squeezed her neck at once, leaving her
breathless.
Where did Timothy and Janet go? She hurriedly took steps and ran to the filming area over there,
asking the staff, "Have you seen Timothy and Janet?"
The staff looked at each other and shook their heads.
"No."Lucia smiled, and hurriedly took off.She was running and looking around.
"Timothy! Janet!"
After running around the shooting site, she didn't see the two children, and a strong uneasy feeling
instantly arose in her heart.
"Could it be Jeanne?"
This terrible thought flashed through her mind, and she had no idea what she should do.
That was when a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Ms.Mitchell."
novelbinLucia's body trembled in shock and she turned around in a hurry, and her face became more and more
serious when she saw Burton standing not far behind her.
"Ms.Mitchell, Timothy and Janet are safe, President Adams has taken them out to play, don't worry."
"It was August?"
Instantly, Lucia's face became even more gloomy, she clenched her fists and held back her anger,
"Where are they! Take me to them!"
August had taken the children out without Lucia’s permission and didn't even tell her.
What was he planning? The panic in Lucia's heart was getting worse by the minute, she was trembling
with anger.
On the contrary Burton was much calmer."Ms.Mitchell, please come with me."
Lucia took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the anger in her heart, and followed Burton's pace.
Passing through half of the safari park, along a cobblestone path lined with green plants, they arrived in
front of an iron gate.
Lucia raised her head and looked over.
Only then did she realize that there was actually a Pleasant Valley! Burton raised his hand, pressed the
code, and opened the door.
Lucia froze, glanced at Burton, who looked as usual, took a deep breath and stepped in.
Burton also followed, closed the door, and explained, "Just now, when President Adams came over, he
saw Timothy and Janet, and heard them say they wanted to go to Pleasant Valley to play, so he took
them there."
Lucia clenched her fists in anger.
"But without my permission, who said you can take them away without permission?"
Burton smiled and spoke without haste, "It was Janet and Timothy who volunteered."
Instantly, Lucia was at a loss for words.
If August had taken them away by force, she would have settled the score with him, but now that
Burton said the children came voluntarily, she could say anything.
Lucia gritted her teeth and asked, "Where are they?"Burton answered truthfully, "They should be in the haunted house now."
Hearing the words "haunted house", Lucia's face became even darker.
She repeatedly instructed Timothy and Janet not to play such exciting and scary rides, but she never
thought that August would take them there! The more Lucia thought about it, the angrier she became,
unconsciously speeding up her pace and rushing to the haunted house when she saw August and
Timothy Janet lined up outside.
They stood in the queue, looking particularly dazzling.
August one of the child in each hand.He not only looked handsome, but also a little cute as well.
The moment this thought popped up in her head, Lucia instantly sobered up a little.
She immediately shook her head to take the thoughts out of her mind.She then walked towards them at
a very quick pace.
It seemed that the children had sensed Lucia walking over or something.
Both Timothy and Janet turned their heads towards Lucia at the same time.
When they saw Lucia, the two little ones immediately jumped with joy.
"Mom!"
Seeing their smiling faces, for a moment, the anger in Lucia's heart almost fully dissipated.
As she looked at how cute the children were, how could she bear to reprimand them? Lucia didn't have
the heart to scold the children, but she could still scold August.With that thought in mind, Lucia raised her head and looked at August with cold eyes.She wasn't hiding
of her coldness at all.
