Chapter 408Chapter 408 It Wouldn't Make Much of A Difference
The story of Jeanne's wrist cutting somehow reached the ears of the Kelly family.
Martin took Mrs.Kelly, Merlin, and a group of people to the hospital in a hurry.
As soon as they saw Jeanne's condition, they made a big scene in front of August.
But he wasn't powerful enough after all.
The Kelly Group had to rely on Lion Group in business.
After Martin complained and blamed August, he put on the airs of a generous father-in-law and
expressed his forgiveness to August in a grand manner.
Before leaving, he brought up an order intentionally.
August didn't hesitate and made a phone call to the company, and the order naturally belonged to the
Kelly Group.
As soon as they left the hospital and got into the car, Burton couldn't help but say, "President Adams,
you know what Martin is doing.Why did you agree with him? If this order is given to the Kelly Group, it
will not benefit us at all."
"I know."
Sitting in the back of the car, August picked up the tablet computer and looked at the trend of the stock
market.
He said in a low voice, "He didn't come this time for his daughter.He wouldn't leave unless he gets
some benefit."Martin was extremely patriarchal, and Jeanne was just a cash cow in his eyes.
He was not stupid enough to publicize this kind of family scandal.
But he was most curious about how the Kelly family had known that Jeanne cut her wrist.He knew
Jeanne well, and she wouldn't tell others about this kind of thing, let alone the Kelly family, but the Kelly
family somehow knew it.
Jeanne's surprise when she saw them come over didn't seem to be fake.
With everything that had happened, he couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
It was a message from Joshua, [Everything is ready.
Come to the wine cellar] August's eyes darkened and he immediately told Burton to turn around and
head to the wine cellar.
The most important thing at the moment was the affairs of Mr.Denko.
As for the Kelly family, they could make trouble if they wanted.
It wouldn't make much of a difference.
For several days, Lucia did not receive any notification about the work.
Apart from going to Jennifer's studio to shoot some new show photos indoors, she stayed at home with
Timothy and Janet.
Occasionally she took the two children out for a walk in the park.Other than that, she had almost nothing else to do.
She waited from Monday to Friday, and finally got a call from Director Brook.
After arriving at the studio, the assistant immediately invited her to the office.
When she walked to the door of the office, she naturally remembered that the last time she was here,
she saw August in the room when she opened the door.
She suddenly felt a little nervous.
The assistant knocked on the door and pushed the door open.
Lucia took a deep breath, walked forward, and looked up at the desk.
When she saw that the person sitting at the desk was Director Brook instead of August, she was
somehow not happy as she had thought.
"Lucia, you're here! Come, come!"
When Director Brook saw her, he immediately got up and waved to her.
Lucia took a deep breath, stepped forward, and smiled at him, "Hello, Director Brook."
Director Brook excitedly motioned her to look at the computer screen and said, "Come and see all of
Timothy and Janet's finalized photos.These are retouched!"
Lucia walked over and took a look.
The 16-inch computer screen was showing the final photos.
Lucia was instantly amazed when she looked at them.On the yellow grassland, Timothy and Janet were standing between two elephants, smiling
contagiously.
It was wild, lively, and harmonious.
Lucia couldn't help but nod and clicked the mouse to see the next one...
After she looked at a set of photos, her nose somehow felt sour.
She admitted that she was shocked and impressed by these public welfare photos.
These photos looked like a silent film, but they showed people a silent struggle and appeal.
She took a deep breath and nodded, "Great."
Director Brook said with a smile, "Of course, the style and details of the photos were personally
checked by President Adams.We've worked overtime every day to retouch the photos these days."
Lucia's heart tightened when she heard it.
In the past few days, August had not called or texted her.
He was quiet as if he had disappeared, which made her a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but blurt out, "Where's President Adams? Didn't he come recently?"
Director Brook shook his head and said with a half-joking smile, "No, I heard that he has been with his
wife recently.They have a very good relationship, and he's been too busy to come here."
Lucia's heart tightened and a sense of grief instantly arose in her heart.She forced a smile and said
nothing.She casually chatted with Director Brook for a while.novelbinThinking of the public welfare short film, she asked, "Director Brook, did President Adams tell you
about the public welfare short film?"
"He did, but the specifics of the shooting have not yet been determined.Just wait for the notification."
Director Brook reached out to Lucia and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation."
Lucia smiled, shook hands with him absentmindedly, and chatted with him for a while before she left
the studio.
After returning home and waiting for another two days, she found that there was still no news or
notification from August.
Lucia took the time to sign up for swimming lessons for Timothy and Janet, but she had nothing to do
at home.
On the morning of the third day, after dropping the children off to class, Lucia sat in the car, thought
about it, took a deep breath, and drove to Lion Group.
Looking at the familiar road, she was reminded of the past unconsciously.
Five years ago, she had rushed to work by subway every day, and it felt like yesterday.
The Lion Group building was still standing in the most prosperous area of the city center, which could
be seen at a glance.
Lucia parked the car at the entrance of Lion Group and suddenly became emotional.
She pushed open the door, got off the car, and walked towards the gate.
There were security guards at the gate, and employees walked in and out of the gate.Looking at the badges on their chests, Lucia felt a little sad.
Who would have thought that when she came back, she had transformed from a young girl to a mother
of two children? Her nose suddenly felt sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Before she could see the gate clearly, a group of people walked out from the door, and there was even
a familiar face among them.
Lucia blinked, took a closer look, and suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
It was Emma! Her hair had grown longer, and she looked more elegant and radiant.
Lucia was surprised and happy, but she was afraid of being recognized by Emma, and suddenly
became nervous.
She took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back with her head down.
Unexpectedly, when she only walked a few steps, she bumped into a tall man.Her forehead was hit and
it ached.She subconsciously stretched out her hand to rub it.
When she looked up, she saw a cold face.
It was August! How...how did she meet him here?! Before she could come to her sense, August's eyes
had passed over her, and he looked at the gate over there.
Two seconds later, he withdrew his gaze and asked in a low voice, "What did you do wrong?"
Lucia subconsciously shook her head and said, "No...I'm just passing by to have a look..."
"Really?"
August didn't believe it, "Why do I think you came to see me on purpose?"Lucia seemed to have been poked in the soft spot, and she instantly lost her temper, "Who said that?
No!"
"It's alright.Just accompany me to a place."
August grabbed her hand, turned his head, and walked towards the car with her.
Before she could react, she was pushed into the car.
