Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 561 – The Hypocrite
‘God! They’ve seen me!’ Lucia got nervous instantly. She eagerly wished to find a crack in the ground at this time. But it was already too late.
The two men came around from the left and right sides. One of them had already seen her and shouted, “There she is!”
Feeling that both sides were shrouded in shadows and the light was completely blocked, Lucia took a deep breath. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the two men staring at her grimly.
“No wonder I can’t find her, so the bitch is hiding here.” One man cursed, reaching out and grabbing her by the collar. He then yanked her out from behind the trash can.
Lucia’s leg moved and the wound on her leg was torn open. She felt unbearable pain. She gritted her teeth and said, “Let go of me!” “Hum! No way!” The two men held her arms left and right, pulling her toward Sunshine Plant.
But at that moment, there was a bright light coming from behind, followed by the roar of the car. The two men were startled and looked behind them together. But the light was too bright, they could only faintly see the shadow of the car and the two shining headlights.
They unconsciously squinted their eyes, but the car was speeding towards them. The person driving the car had no intention of slowing down. The two men were startled.
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer and about to crash into them, they quickly ducked to the side and ignored Lucia.
With a sharp and harsh sound of tires scraping the ground, the car drifted on the ground, slowing down and sliding forward.
It avoided the spot where Lucia was
standing. Then the car turned and braked sharply, coming to a quick stop. Soon,
someone opened the door, got out of it and quickly walked toward her.
Zane raised his chin at her and said, “Lucia, get in!” As he said that, he quickly
stepped forward, walked around her, and caught up with one of the fleeing men.
Zane knocked the man to the ground. The other man was controlled by Zane’s
men and pulled back.
Lucia took a deep breath. Thinking that Garnett was still in Sunshine Plant, she
looked in a hurry in the direction of the car. After a moment’s hesitation, she lifted
her foot, walked over to the car and got into it directly.
August was sitting in the back of the car. When he saw her, his eyes narrowed
and he asked, “Are you hurt?” As he spoke, his eyes quickly swept up and down
her body. Finally, he looked at her injured calf. The cloth that Lucia had
temporarily wrapped around the wound was already red with blood, which was
striking
August frowned. Without waiting for her to speak, he had already instructed the
driver to drive and said, “Go to the nearest hospital.” “Wait!” Lucia took a deep
breath and said, “Garnett is still under the control of those bad guys!”
After what happened today, she didn’t know what those bad guys would do to a
six-year-old child. She was very worried and could not be reassured at all.
August frowned and said, “I’ll send Kylan and the others to look for the child.”
“No! I want to look for Garnett myself!” Lucia was firm and said, “That’s a child
trafficking criminal gang with a lot of children inside.
Those children are being used as cash cows by the bad guys and are being
forced to beg. If we catch those bad guys, the rest of the children can’t be left
alone.”
On hearing that, August looked at her bleeding wound and said seriously, “Lucia,
this is not the time to be charitable.” August thought,
‘Her wounds haven’t been treated yet. How can she go back to dealing with the
children?”
August said in a firm tone, “I will send Kylan to bring back the child you are
looking for. The most important thing now is to go to the hospital first to treat your
wounds.”
Lucia said, “But those…”
Before the words were finished, she was already interrupted firmly. “No buts.”
After August said that, he turned to look at the driver and coldly ordered, “Drive to
the hospital immediately.”
The driver didn’t dare to say more, so he did as he was told. Lucia sat aside, her
chest rising and falling in anger. In her impression,
August had gone a lot of charity activities before. But now he was too heartless
and indifferent when he heard that so many homeless children needed help. Or
maybe he was not doing the charity work out of his heart, but simply wanted to
create a moral persona for the company. If this was true, he was a total hypocrite!
Thinking about it, Lucia felt disappointed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth,
turned her head to look out of the window, and no longer pay attention to August
at her side.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital near West District. Lucia got out and was
accompanied by Zane to have her wound treated. While waiting, she and Zane
chatted. “So, Burton’s been gone for a few days, right?”
Hearing Lucia’s question, Zane nodded his head, saying, “Yes, Burton suddenly
left without saying the reason. I was quite curious.” Lucia tightened her lips and
did not answer. Seeing her expression, Zane sensed something and asked,
“Lucia, do you know anything?” Lucia smiled and said, “What? How can I know?”
Zane said with certainty, “You must know something! Tell me about it!”
Lucia refused to answer, saying, “There’s nothing to tell. I don’t know anything “
“Lucia, you are so mean How about we change secrets? If you tell me, I’ll tell you
a secret.”
Zane suddenly came forward, lowered his voice and said secretly, “Lucia, do you
know how much Mr. Adams cares about you? We were negotiating the project
just now, and it was all coming to an end. Then he made a phone call with you
and took us away directly!” Lucia was stunned and asked, “What about that
project?”
Zane said in a natural way, “It’s not important. Mr. Adams said nothing is as
important as you.”
“Really?” Lucia mocked. She had just wanted to bring Garnett over herself, but
she didn’t think he would give her no chance to do so. Zane wanted to say
something else. Before he could say anything, the phone suddenly rang.
He
paused, put the words back, answered the phone and asked, “Hello? What’s up
Kylan?”
Hearing that the caller was Kylan, Lucia became much more serious. She knew
that at this time, he should already be in Sunshine Plant. Zane picked up the
phone and his face suddenly turned a little pale. He took a quick glance at Lucia,
then asked, “Should we look for him again?”
Kylan with certainty, “It’s true that the child is not there. We looked for him
according to the picture!”
Zane paused and then said, “Let’s report it to Mr. Adams first and see what he
will order.” He then hung up the phone and looked tentatively at Lucia.
Sensing something different, Lucia asked, “What’s going on? What’s wrong?”
Zane closed his lips tightly and whispered, “Kylan called and said he didn’t find
the child in the picture.”
“What!” Lucia said in surprise, “How is that possible!”
In the next second, a terrible thought suddenly came to her mind. ‘Could Garnett
have been taken away by those bad guys?
