Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 574 – Barking Up the Wrong Tree
In the president’s office of the Lion Group. Barking Up the Wrong Tree August sat at his desk, reading the report with a frown. After a long silence, his subordinate asked, “President Adams…..” August came to his senses.
He took a glance at the document, then waved his hand and said, “You can leave now. I’ll have my secretary contact you later.”
The man nodded, then left the office. Not long after that, the door was pushed open again. Zane walked in and reported, “President Adams, Lucia took the little boy out of the hospital.” August didn’t lift his eyes and said lightly, “Okay.”
He had seen Lucia’s message, and he just did not want to text her back. Zane paused for a moment before continuing, “Joshua told me that he did it on
purpose, and he asked me to tell you that you would have a reason to look for Lucia from today.”
August snorted coldly and said lightly, “What kind of reason is it?” August suppressed the coldness in his eyes and gently tapped on the table. He
looked up at Zane and asked, “Did Bishop come today?” Zane shook his head and said, “No.”
Ever since August had returned to the Lion Group, Bishop had never shown up. People who didn’t know him would think that Bishop was afraid and hiding in his shell, but only August knew that he did it on purpose.
Bishop deliberately put their disagreement on display and let everyone think about their standpoint. The Lion Group was in a state of disunity, and there were obvious loopholes in all the accounts. Bishop was not so stupid as to sell himself like this.
Zane continued, “But recently, Bishop has started to move.” Hearing this, August finally raised his eyes, but he did not say anything. Zane
said word by word, “The men I sent to monitor him reported his recent whereabouts.
They said that he has been very close to the daughter of the Norton family these days. She is named Helena, and just returned from studying
abroad not long ago. Her father is Robbert Norton.” With that, Zane took out a document and. handed it to August.
When he heard the name “Robbert Norton”, August’s eyelids twitched
unconsciously. He lowered his gaze and read the document. Helena Norton, 24
years old, graduated from the famous Frence Academy of Arts. In the photo, a
beautiful girl was smiling warmly.
August raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already guessed Bishop’s purpose.
For the woman with such an educational background, family background, and
appearance, what she needed the most was to find someone who could match
her family background and get married. So she would make a stronger union for
her family.
Helena was Robbert’s daughter, so it’s normal for Bishop to contact her. After all,
Robbert held an important position in the agency of Austos City. Although he was
not the biggest leader, he had great power. August asked calmly, “Where have
they been and what have they done?”
Zane reported, “Took the cruise ships to admire the moon, riding horses in the
suburbs, and holding parties in the castle manor. Whatever the rich normally do.
In short, Miss Norton seems to be very happy.” After a pause, he added, “By the
way, Miss Norton seemed to have participated in a reality show sponsored by
Lion Media. The original participants had been confirmed, but she suddenly.
entered. This is internal news. I heard it from a friend of an entertainment
reporter.”
August snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with coldness and obvious mockery. It
seemed that Bishop had made full preparation. He must have known Helena’s
interests and preferences before meeting her.
As long as Bishop was willing to work hard and spend money on the girl, it was
only a matter of time before he got her. “President Adams, why do you think he
suddenly puts all his attention on women? He doesn’t seem to care about the
company’s affairs anymore and except for getting some support from
shareholders like Karl, he didn’t take any further action against the Lion Group.”
“It’s not that simple,” August said calmly, “Thinking about Robbert’s status, there
must be some reason for him to pursue Helena Norton. What’s more, he already
has Mandy, so he won’t do it for women.”
Hearing August’s words, Zane was suddenly enlightened. He widened his eyes in
surprise and said, “Does he want to… arrange a marriage union with a powerful
family?”
August didn’t say anything. It may take some time to figure out what he really
wants The sky slowly darkened. A black high-end car drove into the community and
finally stopped in front of a three-story white western-style building. It had a
Northern European style design and an arched balcony.
Bishop got out of the car and subconsciously looked up at the middle room on
the third floor. The curtains of the room were tightly drawn as if no one lived in it.
Frowning, he strode into the house and unbuttoned his suit with one hand.
The maid immediately went up to him, took his suit, and then asked with concern,
“Sir, do you want to have dinner?”
“I’ve eaten outside. Just make some soup and bring it here.”
As he spoke, Bishop was about to walk forward when he suddenly thought of
something. He stopped and turned around to ask the maid,
“Did she eat today?”
The maid frowned and answered, “She didn’t eat much. She threw up everything
we gave her, even what we made her cat by force.” Hearing this, Bishop’s face
darkened again. He said, “Then bring me a bowl of porridge.” As he spoke, he
strode up to the third floor and directly opened the room.
When the door was pushed open, a dark and damp smell came from the room.
Burton frowned and walked in. The lights in the room were dim, and a woman
with disheveled hair sat on the bed. She wrapped her arms around her bent legs
with her long hair covering her face. Bishop went to the sofa opposite the bed
and sat down. He leaned back lazily and stared at her for a long time, but did not
speak. The two of them remained silent for a long time. Finally, Bishop changed
his position and said, “As I said, don’t try to seek death under my nose. I won’t let
you do it, so don’t waste your time.”
The woman who was sitting on the bed moved slightly and something on her feet
clashed. She raised her head slightly and moved her long hair, revealing her feet.
It turned out that her feet were tied to shackles.
The woman raised her head, revealing her pale but delicate face under her hair.
Her face was bloodless and her eyes were hollow. Her skin was as pale as a
ghost. At first glance, she looked scaring.
Mandy said weakly, “Bishop, is it funny for you to keep me in your prison like
that?”
Bishop’s expression did not change as he replied, “It’s not a prison. I told you, I’ll
get someone to untie you when you change your mind.”
Mandy sneered. “I’m not your pet, and I won’t stay with you anymore. You shall
stop wasting your effort now.”
“Mandy, you have no choice.”
As soon as Bishop’s cold voice fell, there was a knock on the door. Then the
maid came in with a tray. “The soup and porridge are ready.”
The maid put the
soup on the small table next to the sofa and asked, “Sir, this porridge…”
York glanced at the porridge and said coldly, “Bring it to her. If she doesn’t want
to drink it, pour it in her mouth.”
