Chapter 416Chapter 416 This Is A Taboo!
After a moment, Paul raised his head with a bit of stubbornness in his eyes, and said coldly, "Who
knows if what you said is true or not?"
If August said it on purpose to turn him against Lucia, how could he be fooled? = August said calmly, "If
you don't believe me, I can show you the contract."
August's confident tone and demeanor explained everything.It was B true, and August didn't need to lie
to him.
Paul's heart sank and he felt complicated and unset.
A bitter feeling arose in his heart, which was inexplicably depressing.
Unexpectedly, Lucia had kept it from him.
He had thought that after he had been with her for five years, she wouldn't keep anything from him.
In an instant, all his questions and investigations were silenced.
His eyes darkened a little, and he didn't say anything in the end.
novelbinFinally, he got up, said nothing to August, and walked out of the reception room.
As soon as Paul left, only August and Joshua were left in the reception room.
Suddenly, Joshua laughed out loud, "I didn't expect to see a good show when I came here today.
Two men fighting for one woman! What a classic episode."Hearing Joshua's ambiguous tone, August glanced at him coldly and said, "I called you over for serious
business."
Hearing this, Joshua sat up straight and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Does it have
something to do with Lucia?"
August paused and didn't reply directly.
After a moment, he said lightly, "Mr.Denko seems to be targeting Lucia."
With that, he took out the box containing the jade and put it on the table.
Joshua's face became serious.He opened the box and looked at it.
After hearing August's story, he said in a serious tone, "It seems that Mr.Denko is serious this time."
August said nothing.
Mr.Denko used something he had carried with him for decades as a threat, which showed that he had
made up his mind.
"He's coming after you." Joshua said solemnly, ‘August, you have to be careful."
August frowned and said, "But now he's targeting Lucia."
Joshua's face became much gloomier and he disagreed, "August, don't you understand? Why is he
targeting Lucia? Isn't it because of you?"
"You've exposed your soft spot, and this is taboo!"
August raised his eyebrows and subconsciously denied, "I have no feelings for her.""Really? Ask yourself, why have you protected her again and again if you don't have feelings for her?
Mr.Denko has seen it, and you haven't realized it yourself?!"
Hearing Joshua's words, August was dumbfounded.
After a moment, his throat tightened and he said solemnly, "But this time I will be responsible to the
end."
Since it was caused by him, he must ensure the safety of Lucia, Timothy, and Janet.
Joshua said angrily, "August! Are you crazy?! If it were five years ago, you could have taken care of
it.But now, in what capacity are you going to take care of Mr.Denko's affairs?"
August's face darkened slightly and he glanced at Joshua coldly, "I know what I'm doing."
Joshua frowned, "Since you don't listen to me, why did you ask me to come over?"
August said solemnly, "Il need you to cooperate with me."
Joshua looked reluctant.He moved his lips but said nothing.
Now, if he didn't help August, then August would be helpless.
As for how to help August, he was still thinking about it.
In his opinion, keeping Lucia away from August would help him.
Joshua's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came up with an idea.
It would be a bit risky to do this.
But when August looked back after many years, he would be grateful to him.It was getting dark.After dinner, Lucia played with Timothy and Janet for a while.
Then she planned to accompany them back to the bedroom to read them a book for a while.
But as soon as they reached the stairs, there came the sound of the door opening.
Paul walked in, looking a little tired.
Seeing him like this, Lucia was surprised.She asked Timothy to take Janet upstairs, turned around, and
walked back.She took a deep breath.
Thinking of what had happened in the swimming pool during the day, she didn't know what to say,
"Paul..."
Paul raised his eyes, smiled at her, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that August took you away
today.I asked him, and he said it was about work."
Lucia's throat tightened, and she was speechless.
Two seconds later, she took a deep breath and said word by word, "There was something about
work.Are you angry?"
A gentle smile appeared on Paul's face, and he said in a low voice, "Why would I be angry? I received
an emergency call from work within a few minutes of returning to the swimming pool.I packed your
things and left."
With that, he put the packed things on the table on the side.
Seeing this, Lucia felt a little complicated.She opened her mouth and finally said nothing.
Paul said softly, "I'll go take a shower first.I'm going on a business trip tomorrow morning."Hearing this, Lucia nodded and said nothing, watching him walk up the stairs.
Although Paul looked the same as usual, she somehow felt a little uneasy because he seemed a little
different...
At this moment, the phone in her bag suddenly rang, and she hurriedly walked over and took out the
phone.
There were several missed calls from Director Brook.
Lucia suddenly remembered that she and Director Brook had made an appointment to meet tomorrow
to discuss the details of the work.
She quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Director Brook..."
After she answered the phone, she walked to the small balcony on the side.
She wasn't aware that Paula who had just gone upstairs stopped at the top of the stairs, and he was
looking at her with deep eyes.
Paul's heart was filled with bitterness and disappointment.
He had thought that Lucia would see his abnormality, notice his depressed mood, or explain to him
what had happened today.
But in the end, nothing happened.
He laughed self-mockingly, and he was heartbroken.
With such a hopeless marriage, he didn't know how long he could hold on.But his heart, no doubt, had been given to Lucia long ago, and it might not be easy for him to withdraw
now.
The words August had said to him in the reception room today still echoed in his ears from time to time.
August said that he had failed in his duties as a husband and father, that he had never protected them
when they needed them, and that he had sent Lucia and the children to a safe place...
Suddenly, the clues in his mind were woven into a web.
There must be a reason for August to suddenly take them away during the day.
Could it be that, based on what August said, the swimming pool wasn't safe today? Paul frowned,
paused for a moment, and finally took out his mobile phone and called his subordinate, "Go check the
Braden Swimming Pool..."
He must find out what happened today!
