Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 539 – Jeanne Came
Lucia lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She had never imagined that there were so many things she didn’t know about five years ago.
But when she woke up back then, Paul told her a different story. Burton said they saw August alone when they arrived at the beach, while Paul
told her that he saw her lying on the beach. alone and that he didn’t see August there.
But if it was really August who saved her, they must have collapsed on the beach together, and in that case, someone must have lied about what had happened at the time. In contrast, Burton did not have to lie to her, but what about Paul? Would he have lied to her?
Thinking about it in a daze, she eventually fell asleep, unable to resist the drowsiness. When she woke up the next day, the sun was up and the weather was perfect as if the dark clouds and storms of last night were all an illusion.
Lucia woke up a little late. She stretched, washed up quickly, and then went downstairs for breakfast, where she ran into Olivia who was going to water the flowers with a watering can.
Seeing Lucia, Olivia smiled and came over to her, smiling and asking, “Did you have a good sleep? You must be exhausted from all the hustle and bustle of going out with August yesterday?” Lucia shivered when she remembered what had happened last night.
She forced
a smile and said softly, “We came back a little late yesterday, so I slept a little
longer.”
“It’s okay. You and August should just spend more time together and get closer to
each other…”
Before Olivia finished her words, Lucia had already guessed what the old lady
was trying to say. She quickly and smartly changed the subject. “Grandma, the
porridge is getting cold. I’m going to eat breakfast now.”
Only then did Olivia let her go. “Okay, alright. Just go ahead.”
Lucia sat down at the table and took her phone out to check while eating the
porridge. Yesterday, her phone ran out of power and she just turned it off without
checking it. Only now did she have time to read the messages she hadn’t had
time to read yesterday.
Elisa sent her several messages and two video calls, both from yesterday, but
she missed them.
“Lucia, are you done with your business? When are you coming back? The two
little ones are talking about you every day.
They miss you so much that they don’t eat properly.”
Lucia felt upset when she read the messages from Elisa. Actually, she hadn’t
seen Timothy and Janet for a few days, so she was feeling empty.
She tapped on the screen and sent a message back to Elisa. “Mom, things are
almost done. I’ll be back in a couple of days. Don’t worry.”
She had just sent the message, but she felt it was a bit stiff. She was wondering
if she should give Elisa a video call when suddenly the doorbell rang.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked through the clear glass in front of
the dining table toward the door, feeling somewhat nervous.
The place was Joshua’s private residence, with a private address and perfect
security. For the sake of August’s safety,
Joshua had brought him here to stay for a while. She had enjoyed the tranquility
and security here for the last few days.
In her impression, apart from Joshua and August’s men coming and going, there
were hardly any visitors. Therefore, she found it strange when the doorbell rang.
There were not many maids here. Hearing the bell, the maid who cooked rushed
to the door, carefully opened the hole in the iron gate, said something to the
person outside, and then came back.
Seeing this, Olivia, who was tending to the flowers in the small garden, couldn’t
help but ask, “Who’s there?”
Chapter 539 Jeanne Came
The maid answered truthfully, “It’s a young lady. She said she wanted to see Mr.
Adams, but he didn’t mention that he
was expecting a visitor, so I told her that she was in the wrong place.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than there was a heavy rap on the gate,
followed by a sharp female voice, “August, it’s me! It’s Jean!”
“August, I’ve come to see you! Open up! I want to see you!”
The sudden voice startled both Olivia and Lucia. Lucia immediately got up and
walked out through the door. She and
Olivia looked at each other with some surprise.
Hearing the voice and the words, she had already guessed who the visitor was. It
was none other than Jeanne.
Olivia also heard it and said with some anger, “Haven’t August already divorced
her? Why is she here?”
Lucia took a deep breath. Just as she was about to tell the maid to go up and let
August know, Burton wheeled August out of the door.
“August, it’s me! I’m Jean!”
“I just want to see you and make sure you’re okay. I’ll leave after I see you!”
!!
The rapping and shouting outside continued, and it seemed that if there was no
answer, Jeanne would keep on doing that.
August naturally heard it when he came out. He frowned slightly without saying
anything.
Olivia couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked at August with some anger, “August,
how did she know you are here?” Now, the place where they were must be
absolutely safe, and the fact that Jeanne had found this place made her feel
worried.
August frowned. He casually checked his phone and saw a few messages on it
that he hadn’t had a chance to read. They were from Joshua over an hour ago.
“August, Jeanne had pestered me for days, asking where you are. Early this
morning, she made a scene outside the bar, throwing and smashing things. I had
no choice, so I told her the address. She said she’d take a look at you and leave.
I’m telling you in advance, so be prepared… ”
It was followed by an emoji showing his helplessness.
August’s frown deepened and he put his phone away.
As expected, it was Joshua who did it.
Just then, the sounds of tapping and shouting outside suddenly got lower. Just as
everyone thought Jeanne was going to leave, there was suddenly a sharper rap
on the gate, with one “thump” after another.
This time, Jeanne was obviously doing it with a tool instead of her hands. She
kept rapping on the gate and it was much more violent than earlier.
The sound was so loud that Olivia had a headache. She quickly looked at August
and said with some anger, “August, do something and stop her”
August looked more serious. Then, he turned to look at Burton. “Go and open the
gate.”
Olivia was surprised, “You really want to see her?”
August said coldly, “Since she wants to see me, I’ll make it happen.”
Burton stepped through the small garden, walked to the entrance, and opened
the gate from inside.
The noise outside stopped abruptly, followed by Jeanne’s eager and delighted
voice, “Where is August? Where is he?”
The gate had only opened slightly when Jeanne couldn’t wait and got in. She
stepped around Burton and looked around quickly. When she saw August, a
joyful expression came over her face.
“August!” She excitedly ran quickly toward him, but just after two steps, she
stopped in her tracks when she suddenly found that he was sitting in a
wheelchair. The expression on her face turned from joy to shock.
