Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 833 – New Discovery
Phillip stepped forward timidly and opened his arms to Edmund Seeing this, Lucia immediately took the things in Edmund’s hands over, took off
his coat, and put it aside like a good housewife, saying, “Phillip must miss you very much. Take him for a walk.”
Seeing her gentle smile, Edmund felt warm in his heart. So, he picked up Phillip and walked toward the pavilion in the distance without thinking much.
Lucia slowly sat down, stared after the father and son, and couldn’t help letting out a long sigh.
Then, she looked at Sophie and complained, “Joshua became less efficient.” “Yeah! Phillip has suffered a lot. He must learn to cheat people at such a young age to avoid his father. What a poor boy!’ Daryl echoed in sorrow.
When Sophie had first started to treat Phillip, the treatment effect had been good. But every time he had returned to Edmund’s side, his condition had worsened. Fortunately, Phillip was a smart kid. He had gradually realized something was wrong but couldn’t explain it accurately.
He had just disliked getting along with Edmund at first, and now, he was pretending sick to avoid him. Over time, Edmund got used to it and let go of his guard. And he had even left Phillip in the Thomas family to have an excuse to spend more time with Lucia.
Being accused by the two women together, Sophie couldn’t help rolling her eyes and said, “Daryl, you’re urging me because you are eager to adopt Phillip, right? Lucia, I helped you solve two big problems. It’s OK if you are not grateful to me.
But you should not have brought more problems for me! If it were easy to investigate Edmund, he would not have been sitting firmly in his current position now!” When Daryl had first known she was unable to get pregnant because of the damage, she had insisted on breaking up with Paul.
It was Sophie who had tried her best to persuade them into getting back together. Moreover, she had also managed to keep Phillip in the Thomas family so that Daryl could experience being a mother. But they were criticizing her together now! She could not stand it!
Lucia chuckled and hurriedly waved her hands to comfort her. After a few jokes, Sophie cleared her throat and said seriously. Actually, Joshua found something.” The three women habitually huddled together.
He found Phillip’s mother’s information.’ Sophie subconsciously glanced in the direction where Edmund had gone and whispered, “The open data shows that his mother died of illness, and the whole thing seems flawless. But after we looked into her death, we found she might have been murdered.”
After finishing speaking, she sent the information to Lucia’s and Daryl’s mailboxes. Phillip’s mother was a daughter of a high-ranking official in Austos City. Her family used to be extremely powerful. In a sense, Edmund used to be a maternal son-in-law.
After his ex-wife’s father had passed away, he had used the old man’s
resources to get to where he was today.
The data showed that the woman had a congenital mental illness. When she had
been pregnant with Phillip, her hormone change had induced the illness. To keep
Phillip healthy, she had chosen to give up the treatment. In the end, she had
failed to bear the pressure and died of mental illness.
“Griffith Organization has conducted an investigation and found Phillip’s mother is
the first patient who had this illness in her family. None of her family members
has suffered from this mental illness before. So, I guess someone made her ill.
Moreover, the so-called death due to mental illness is suicide.
After the investigation, I think it is difficult to determine whether it is suicide or
not.”
Hearing Sophie’s analysis, the other two women felt chilly in the pavilion although
it was scorching summer.
Lucia squeezed her phone tightly and murmured word by word, “Maybe, Edmund
did it…’
It is very likely!” Sophie said firmly.
The pavilion fell into an eerie silence, and the oppressive atmosphere made
people feel extremely difficult to breathe. Suddenly, a mobile phone began
ringing.
Lucia couldn’t help shuddering before suddenly coming to her senses.
The phone on the stone table was extremely noisy, and Currer’s name on the
screen looked harsh. Then, several messages popped up on the screen.
“Why did she send you messages?”
This is Edmund’s phone,” Lucia responded in a cold voice with a gloomy look in
her eyes. Then, she picked up the phone with her slender fingers. After
successfully unlocking the screen with the password Timothy had deciphered,
she placed the phone in the center.
The voice message from Currer sounded sinister with resentment.
Edmund, what on earth are you doing? Why is that b*tch dating my boss? If you
can’t take her away, I will get rid of her by myself. And you cant blame me for
disregarding our friendship then! I will wait for you at the Left Bank Cafe at three
o’clock tomorrow afternoon. This is the last time I spare her life for your sake!”
Lucia reset the message to the unread state, relaxed her tensed face slightly,
and casually dropped the phone on the table.
Daryl pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, looked at her, and said, “She is trying to kill you, but you are still sitting here calmly.”
Hearing this, she rolled her eyes and said, ‘ It’s hard to guard against a stab in
the back. But it’s easy to dodge an attack in the open, right?”
After the joke, she said seriously,” I will take care of Currer by myself. Joshua
must continue the investigation. We will try our best to bring Edmund down in
one go with the evidence we have.”
For Phillip, they must not leave Edmund any chance to stage a comeback!
Hearing this, Sophie was the first to realize what was going on and asked in
surprise, “Do you mean Currer is back?”
Lucia nodded slowly and replied word by word in a deep voice, August is also
back…”
Hearing her relating what had happened during the past few days, the other two
women were shocked and thought she had had a narrow escape again. After a
brief silence, Edmund took his son back to the pavilion. Phillip still looked dull
and could only communicate with others in short sentences.
Daryl hurriedly hugged him and secretly checked on him for injuries. When Phillip
secretly tugged at her sleeve to signal her that he was OK, she felt relieved.
Edmund maintained his customary graceful demeanor and thanked Sophie
politely. Then, the latter responded, “You and Lucia should come here to
accompany Phillip more frequently. I’m sorry that his condition has not improved.”
‘1 know you have worked very hard. Phillip’s illness has been treated by other
doctors for years, so I know it’s not your fault that he does not get better,” he
responded humbly as if the result was as expected.
After Lucia put his coat on him and gently asked whether he was thirsty, he
grinned. When he picked up the phone to check messages, he involuntarily
frowned but instantly returned to normal.
Lucia saw everything. With a shrewd light flashing in her eyes, she said with a
smile, Edmund, let’s take Phillip out for a trip when his condition improves.’
‘OK,” he responded a little absent-mindedly, but Lucia didn’t care. She continued
to look at him, tilted her head, and asked, “Do you have time tomorrow
afternoon? I want you to meet one of my friends.’
Edmund looked into her eyes, thought for a long time, and rejected her in the
end, saying that he had work to do then.
