chapter 325

Chapter 325 Being blackmailed by the paparazzi Perhaps because he was injured, August felt very

tired after he arrived at the bedroom. He lay down on the bed

and fell asleep soon. As he slept, August suffered pain from the wound on his left arm. The next day

he woke up late. After washing up, August went downstairs. Joshua and Bond were having

breakfast. Seeing August coming down, Joshua asked, "How's your wound?" "It's fine." This wasn't

the first time August has been wounded like that.

August walked to the table expressionlessly and drank coffee. Charlotte came in and said in a deep

voice, "Burton's here."

As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Burton got into the room, carrying a paper bag.

Burton put the paper bag on the table. "President Adams, here are the clothes you asked for. I've

pushed

today's morning meeting to tomorrow.” As he was speaking, Burton glanced at August's bandaged

arm and frowned. "President Adams, you..." August replied faintly. "It's fine." Then August put down

his coffee cup and looked at Burton, saying, "Just eat some if you haven't eaten yet." Burton replied

softly, "I've already eaten. President Adams, there is something that I don't know if I should say

Seeing that Burton was a little bit hesitant, August understood instantly, leading Burton towards the

balcony. Burton closed the balcony door and said, "I got a message this morning.” As he was saying,

Burton took out his phone and showed the message to August. August didn't pick up the phone. He

glanced at it and saw a few photos that were all about Lucia and Jonathan

in the message, on the crew, and also at the racing club. They looked intimate

Seeing August's crim face, Burton explained. "I've checked it. These photos should be taken by a

paparazzo

from a small media company. They wanted to use these photos to extort money, otherwise, these

photos

might have been exposed.” August frowned and said, "Buy out these photos. As for that company,

we will teach them a lesson in the

future.” After saying that, August left the balcony with a grim face. August asked Lucia to talk to

Jonathan about endorsing redeur, but he didn't expect that Lucia would do that

with Jonathan. He really underestimated her!

Suddenly. August felt annoyed inside. He picked up the suit that Burton brought him and walked

towards the

second floor. Joshua was a little surprised and asked, "August, you haven't had breakfast yet..."

August didn't respond and left coldly. Joshua felt curious. He raised his eyebrows and looked at

Burton who came out from the balcony, asking,

"What's wrong?" Burton shook his head. "Nothing."

Seeing that, Joshua snorted. "Okay."

Meanwhile, Lucia stood at the lift door on the first floor of the hospital. She carried a fruit basket

and need a

1)

bouquet of flowers in her arms, feeling a little uneasy inside. Lucia heard that Jeanne woke up

yesterday afternoon, so she came to visit hier immediately. Lucia thought if Jeanne didn't try to save

her, the person lying in the hospital bed would be her. And in that

case, she would probably have lost the baby in hier belly. For this reason, Lucia thought she had to

come to visit and thank Jeanne "Ding" The lift door opened and Lucia stepped into the lill. She

pressed the button that could lead her to the floor where Jeanne was.

Exiting the lift, Lucia walked down the hallway and found the ward wliere Jeanne was. She took a

deep breath

and knocked on the door.

Soon, it came the sound of footsteps in the room and the door opened. Merlin stood in the

doorway and looked

down at Lucia. He disgustedly asked, "what are you doing here?" Lucia was a little nervous. She

knew that Merlin was Jeanne's brother. She half-closed her eyelids and replied

softly, "I came here to visit Jeannie.” Merlin snorted. "You're not welcome here, get out." Alter saying

that, Merlin turned around and intended to close the door. At that moment, a voice sounded.

"Merlin, what's going on?" A woman appeared at the doorway and looked at Lucia outside. She

frowned and asked Lucia, "Are you the

woman that Jeanne saved?” Lucia took a deep breath and nodded. "I've come to visit and say thank

you to her." Mrs. Kelly frowned and stared at Lucia, saying without scruples, "If I remember correctly,

you are the woman

who has been pestering August before, aren't you?" Lucia tightened her hand that was holding the

flowers. She bit her lip and looked up at Mrs. Kelly. "President

Adams and I..." "You don't have to explain, I probably know about it." Mrs. Kelly glanced at Lucia and

said sarcastically, "I

really don't understand how Jeanne would risk her life to save a woman like you. Tell you what, if

you still have

any conscience, you should stop interfering in other people's relationships as a slut, you

understand?” Mrs. Kelly's words were vicious. Hearing that, Lucia felt that something was stabbing

her heart, making her

feel uncomfortable. Lucia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Mrs. Kelly, don't worry, I

won't do such an immoral

After saying that, Lucia put the fruit basket and flowers at the doorway and added without being

condescending, word by word, "Since you refuse to let me in, then never mind. Please say hello to

Ms. Kelly for

Aller saying that, Lucia bowed to Mrs. Kelly and turned around to leave.

Just at that moment, a soft female voice came from the ward. "Mom, is that Lucia?" Hearing that,

Mrs. Kelly frowned and didn’t know how to reply. Then, Jeanne added, "Mom, let Lucia come in."

Luckhadn't conelar and could lear leanne’s words. She look a deep breath and turned around to

look at Mrs.

Kelly who was standing in the doorway,

Mrs. Kelly frowned and was reluctant, but end up compromisin. She looked at Lucia and said coldly,

"All

right, since Jeanne said that, you can go in."

After that, Mrs. Kelly stopped standing at the doorway to stop Lucia. Lucia was very happy inside

and walked into the ward immediately.

As soon as she walked in, Lucia saw leanne lying on the hospital bed. Jeanne's face was pale and

part of her

body was bandaged, Jeanne looked very weak. Lucia walked forward and asked, "Are you... okay?"

Joanne smiled. "I'm line. Have a seat.”

Lucia nodded and sat down in the chair next to the bed, having mixed emotions in her heart.

After a while, Lucia encouraged herself and looked at Jeanne, saying, "Jeanne, thank you so much

for what you

did for me yesterday." Hearing that, Jeanne smiled. "You don't have to say thank you to me. I heard

that yesterday when I was in the

emergency room, you are the one who gave me blood!" Lucia smiled and said softly, "No matter

what, thank you so much.” Lucia thought that she would lose the baby in her belly If Jeanne didn't

save her. Jeanne looked up at Lucia, a chill appeared in her eyes but faded quickly. But soon, Jeanne

smiled again. She took Lucia's hand and said softly, "Actually, I did that out of instinct, and you were

there because I was asking you to help me carry stuff. And you are August's subordinate, I don't

know how to explain to him if something happened to you because of me!" Hearing that, Lucia

forced herself to smile and didn't say anything else. It sounded as if it was a constant reminder of

her relationship with August. It was just a superior-subordinate relationship.
