Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 529 – Reaching an Agreement
The two of them stared at each other silently. The surroundings were so quiet that the chirps of the insects in the grass could be heard. Neither of them spoke. August took a deep breath, suddenly looked away, and said softly, “You are not one of Bishop’s people, so he won’t let you go.”
Lucia was puzzled, so she asked, “What do you mean?” A glimmer of light flashed across August’s eyes, but he said in a very calm voice,
“They’ve long bound us together. Do you remember what Ethan has done to you?” Lucia was slightly startled and then nodded.
“I am going against them now, so you must take my side. Even if you don’t choose me, they will still use you as a hostage to threaten me. And 1…” August paused, and his Adam’s apple slid up and down. Then, he said lightly, “I won’t let them. hurt you.”
Hearing this, Lucia was a little surprised. After she thought carefully about what he had said just now in her mind, she suddenly realized something and then tensed up. Bishop and Ethan always bound her and August together and used her as a hostage to threaten him.
And they had taken advantage of her to find him this time. They had been making use of her against him from the very beginning. She
felt as if there were an invisible line between her and August, binding and pulling them.
Just now, Lucia had a flash of inspiration and suddenly figured it out. The invisible line between her and August was the kids. If Bishop and Ethan had
not known Timothy and Janet were August’s blood, they would not have used her against him again and again.
After she thought about it carefully, she was sure they knew it. Realizing this, she had a lingering fear, so she raised her eyes to look at August. Seeing that his complexion was calm, she was secretly relieved. More and more people had known the secret of her children.
Jeanne, Bishop,
and Ethan… These terrible people might
make use of them at any time, and this was what she feared the most. Even if
she did not choose August’s side, they
would still threaten him with her children. She felt scared at the thought of this
matter. And she knew she had no choice.
now.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at August, bit her lower lip, and said, “I can
stand on your side, but I have a request.” August raised his eyebrows slightly and
asked, “What request?”
Lucia said firmly, “Send people to protect my family. I don’t want them to get hurt
because of me.”
August’s eyes darkened, and then, he nodded, “Deal.”
Lucia took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I’m on your side now.”
She would rather choose a side from the very beginning than be neutral and
passive. Since she would be involved in this
chaotic battle no matter what, she preferred to prepare well and fight for herself
and her family. She had once thought.
about hiding, but the facts had proved hiding could not solve problems.
Suddenly, August said in a deep voice, “From now on, you must completely trust
me.”
Lucia came back to her senses, looked into his shining black eyes, and nodded,
“Okay, but you must trust me too.”
When they had met again this time, they had doubted each other. But now, there
seemed to be a strange glue between
them, pulling them closer.
Looking at her, August suddenly thought of something, so he said slowly, “After
this problem is solved, I will give you
the evidence of Jeanne’s assault when Paula recovers.”
“Okay, I’ll also give you the videos of Ethan at Evergreen Temple. And then, we’ll
call it even.”
Hearing this, August showed a much more relaxed expression and unconsciously
smiled, “Okay.”
Instantly, the misunderstandings between them seemed to have been cleared up.
They looked at each other and smiled in
relief. Everything that had happened before became increasingly insignificant to
them.
“Ahem!” Suddenly, a deliberate cough interrupted their intertwined gazes.
Then, a man said with a smile, “Why aren’t you asleep in the middle of the night?
Are you dating in the garden?”
When August and Lucia looked over at the same time, they saw Joshua standing
at the door with a half-lit cigarette
between his fingers and staring at them with a meaningful smile.
Lucia immediately understood what he meant. So, she gasped in shock, felt
inexplicably embarrassed, and hurriedly said, “I’m going back to my bedroom
now.”
While speaking, she quickly walked up the steps, passed by Joshua, and then
entered the door.
Seeing her leave, Joshua leaned on the pillar next to him, looked at August
casually, and chuckled, “Didn’t you quarrel
and make trouble for each other during the day? I thought you hate seeing each
other. Why did you become so
affectionate at night?”
August rolled his eyes at him, but the latter turned a blind eye and continued to
joke, “What trick did you use? Teach
me!”
August ignored him, looked away, glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and said
coldly, “If you are energetic and can’t
sleep at night, you can go out for a jog.”
Then, he started the wheelchair to leave.
“Stop, August! I have something important to tell you!” Joshua hurriedly stood in
his way and said with a serious.
expression, “I just received news that Bishop plans to sell several shops and
lands of the Lion Group. What is his
purpose?”
Hearing this, August also showed a serious look and snorted, “He is sure I am
not dead and is afraid I will go back, so he
has started to sell the company’s properties. Once I compete for the shares of
the Lion Group, he will have few things left
in his hands. Therefore, he is trying to get as much money as possible now.”
“What should we do now?” Joshua said solemnly, “Those properties are all in the
best locations. Developing or renting
them out is much more profitable than selling them. If they are sold, it is the Lion
Group that will suffer losses.” Hearing this, August kept silent with a frown for a
long time. Then, he looked up at Joshua and asked, “Is there any news
about Eliot?”
“No.”
“It seems he is in trouble.”
Before he had been secretly assaulted, he had lost contact with Eliot. Maybe
Bishop had kidnapped him in that foreign.
country far away. Otherwise, Eliot would have shown up in Austos when the Lion
Group had gotten into such turmoil.
Joshua asked, “What should we do now?”
August’s control power had been taken away, and his shares were transferred
out. Now, the head of the Adams family
had been kidnapped without a trace. It seemed Bishop was going all out to fight
him the time.
After deducing various possibilities in his mind, August finally said in a deep
voice, “No matter what, my priority now is to bring my grandma back as soon as possible.”
Since his hands were empty now, he must take away the cards in Bishop’s hands
one by one.
