Chapter 245 Punishment for Wrongdoing Jeanne frowned wistfully and said have their meal yet.”

August stiffened and immediately figured something. What happened to the

Kelly Group yesterday was a sensation, and he had thought that she might come and see him today.

He leaned back and asked, "How is your father doing?" Jeanne put on a wry face and replied, "He is

worried. The efforts of the PR team are in vain, and the stocks plummeted in the morning. My mom

has been crying at home, and I have no ways to save the day." August comforted her gently, "Don’t

take it too hard. This is not your fault.” "But I'm a member of the Kelly family. I can't help feeling

worried.” With tears in her eyes, she suddenly grabbed his hand, "August, can you help for my

sake?" he pulled his hand back and asked blandly, "Did your father send you here?" Jeanne

panicked and subconsciously denied it, "No, it's my own idea. August..." August said solemnly, "I can

first place, they hit those migrant workers who ended whoever spoke up for them would be the

devil's advocate. Everyone was trying to stay away. No one would get himself in trouble at such a

point. The

Adams family was no exception. "August..." The tearful girl pitifully tugged at his clothes and

whispered, "You are the only person who can help us. I'm really at the end of my rope.” "Jeanne,"

August frowned, his face turning serious, "do you think your family did the right thing?" She was

speechless. His eyes flickered with coldness. "There are consequences 1/4 25.04 09:40 D for doing

your heart?" For the Lion Group, this matter was easy to fix. They could suppress public opinion

without much effort. However, August was unwilling to do this for her. His brows were knitted

together. His eyes were unfathomable. "The two things are unrelated, alright?"

Jeanne was depressed. She had thought that he would grant her every request. Now it looked like

he didn't care about her that much. Moreover, she could feel a change in his attitude toward her. He

used to be so concerned when she was ill and hospitalized.

Feeling a tingling sensation in her nose, she choked with sobs, "I know that I'm no longer that

important in your heart.” August frowned and said sullenly, "You

still don't see it?"

Her eyes reddened. She grabbed her handbag and rushed out of the office with a broken heart. The

As soon as Lucia returned to the office, Carter sent her to fetch a file from the President's Office. On

her way there, she spotted a familiar figure not far ahead. With long, curly hair and a pretty face,

dress. Lucia watched the girl hurried to the elevator. Her eyes were red, and her face was pale.

Lucia was a little surprised. Why did with August? She couldn't help but wonder. herself. What was

went to the President's Office, found the assistant she had made an appointment with, and waited

outside. Just then, a statuesque man.

She felt something, involuntarily looked over, and met a pair of deep eyes.

August! Her face froze, and several ambiguous images crossed her mind. She had been avoiding

him like the plague, and the encounter had not been expected. Adrenaline was surging in her as she

thought of their last meeting on the bed of her small apartment. How she wished the earth would

open and swallow her.

August didn't walk away. He just stood there, gazing at her. She gritted her teeth, turned around,

and hastened to the side. As the woman was slipping away, he furrowed his brows and called out in

a cold voice, “Lucia.” Lucia turned a deaf ear to it and quickened her pace. His presence was a

constant reminder of what happened the other night. She was too ashamed to face him. It annoyed

August to see her scampering away like a rabbit.

Suddenly, an assistant came over with a file and looked around. August looked

at her and asked, "What's wrong?" The assistant replied in confusion, “A staff

member of the administration department came to get a file and then

disappeared.”

He glanced at the document and demanded, "Give it to me."

The assistant complied although she had no idea what was going on. August

looked down before giving his instructions, “If she comes again, tell her to get it

from me." The assistant said yes despite her puzzlement. August sullenly went

to his office, walked to the desk, and threw the hide from him for the rest of her

life. Lucia went back to the administration department. Sitting in the chair, she

was still immersed in the tension. Just then, someone knocked on the door and

"Carter wants to see you." As soon as the name was mentioned, her heart was in

her throat again. The first LITT TU assignment she received today was to get a

file from the President's Office.

Carter would then have a meeting with her, get her through the plan for the

problem. She hadn't gotten the file.
