chapter 367

For her, Mark was nothing more than a subordinate

"Yes, I do My lady"

Mark nodded, and when he did that, the long red scar on his forehead looked even more horrible,

just like a twisted centipede Jeanne couldn't bear such a scar anymore and took a step back

subconsciously "Mark, maybe you have io change your haircut to hide the scar on your forehead It

looks too scary for me * She said in disgust

Something gloomy came and went in Mark s eyes when he heard what Jeanne had said 'I'll do it as

the lady says' sucking a great draught of air he said

Jeanne was satisfied with his obedience This is where you live after being released” She gave a

glance around the shabby room and said

'Y«.th, but I Il be at your service if you want me, Mark answered stoutly

Not yet the only thing you have to do now is to hide your identity *

Jeanne held that an arrow shot from hiding is difficult to guard against That s why she pulled oul all

the stops to free Mark’

Then, she took a bank card out of her bag and put it on the table There are one hundred thousand

dollars in it and the password is my birthday number It is for you Ask me for more if you run out of

it

Mark seemed to be not happy with that money. "My lady, there is no need..." *

Just take it as I say’ She seemed to run out of her patience.

Money is necessary if he wanted to run errands for her smooth and she is always generous to her

right-hand man

Noticing Mark s frowned brows. Jeanne raised her hand and tapped him on his shoulder, saying

softly, "Mark, you are the only person I put trust in now, I hope you can lead a comfortable life after

you have suffered so much in prison, that s why I give you money Do you understand?’

Her words worked and Mark's eyebrows stretched at once He nodded his head and smiled

contentedly 'l know what you mean, my lady"

Jeanne smirked unpleasantly when she saw Mark s excitement Then she continued, "Lucia was back

to Austos with her children, I need you to spy on her now!"

She had to know what she was up against

And this time she would deal with her with extraordinary patience and endurance! She must nd

Lucia and her bastards once and for all' Meanwhile

The black Maybach was driving across the city and headed for West Bridge silently A quick chirping

of a cell phone broke the stillness It was Lucias phone

On the screen was the name of Lucias best friend Paula “Yep, Paula’ She picked up at once

Lucia, hows your working day” Paulas voice came from the other end of the phone clearly “And how

about Janet and Timothy” "How s it going with your shooting”

Thinking of her lovely children sitting next to her, Lucia naturally beamed with happiness “They all

do it great’ The director invited them to shoot tomorrow’ She answered tenderly

“Great" But where are you now”* My treat today’ Let s have beef steak’

Lucia jerked her head up and look at August when she heard that She didn t know how to explain to

Paula she was in the car of August She must fr~ak if she knew that

What do you think” Paula asked again minutes later “Come on' Let us have no buts," she said firmly

You are coming" I have learned from Elijah Reed that you knocked off at 5 30 *

Lucia signed helplessly at her words and finally cut in “Where are you now”

Starlight Plaza, right in the center of the city *

“OK, send me your location, and we Il come to meet you soon,’ Lucia replied crisply

However, Lucia received August s steady gaze the very moment that she hung up the phone Their

eyes met across the car seat

It was August who spoke first "Where are you going™ His voice was pretty calm and, even dry.

Lucia opened and shut her mouth, a few seconds later, she looked out at the window and said, "Just

drop us over there, we have a rendezvous with Paula”

August subconsciously relaxed his eyebrows when he heard the name, Paula

Then, he turned away to order Burton to turn the car around and steer to Starlight Plaza

Yes, Mr Adams ' Burton Harris answered

Lucia was about to meet Paula on foot for it was not far away from the Starlight Plaza now But

August didn't give her a chance to say no and ordered Burton to drive there directly Lucia had only

to swallow the words of refusal helplessly

He always took no account of her will

Let him be

Mom, where are we going now" Timothy looked up at her and asked with his innocent eyes

"We will go to meet your aunt Paula’ Said Lucia tenderly

"Yeah! That s great! Timothy almost kicked on his heels at the sound of that

Mom. Is Uncle Charming going with us™ Tilting her little head, Janet asked in an adorable manner

Lucia stiffened at her naive question She didn't know how to answer

Waiting for no answer from Lucia, Janet thereupon turned to August and tugged at his sleeve to get

his attention "Uncle Charming, will you come with us™

Id like to. but it depends on your mother.” August looked at her unblinkingly with an expressive

smile

Janet looked at Lucia with imploring eyes the instant that August finished his words. "Mom, can he

go with us™

Lucias throat felt tight

She didnt expect that August was such a wily man to throw the question back to her! How could a

mother say no to her dear daughter easily’

But she had to be heartless this time She took her eyes off Janet to glance at August and said

through gritted teeth. "Sorry, darling, but we didn't let aunt Paula know ahead of time and it's aunt

Paulas treat today I don't think it's appropriate to invite Uncle Charming to have dinner with aunt

Paula together without notice in advance Maybe next time! Ok™

"Alright™ Janet said, disappointed obviously

Time passed quickly during their conversation and the car pulled over slowly Lucia got off first and

then she carried down Janet and

Timothy That done, she looked up and spoke, "Thank you for

Before she could finish her words of thanks, a cry of pure delight interrupted her, "Lucia'"

Pas threw heel at Luci ie the wind and held her hand fghtly When she had a fim footing and took a ose ook at th people sting in the car, her Jaw sagged at once

August gave her an indifferent look and turned to Luca, “Never mind, just ensure the performance in filming tomorrow’

Luci cured the corner of her mouth up in a response to him As she was about to walk away with Paula hand in hand, she clapped eyes on Burton, who wes looking back &n6

watching them steadily

But is eyes were fixed on Pas pest Luca Trere were mixed looks 1 their eyes, which was beyond Lucas description

A few moments ater, Paz took her eyes off Burton and ore grim face Lets go Then she lft without a backward look

Aint of embarrassment filed the ar, Lucia could iy pretend nothing had happened and keep up her pace with Janet and Timor after

he ha closed the car coor quickly

Mom, Whats wrong wih aunt Pula”

Wino displeased her

Luci didn t know how to answer thir questions indeed

51 she was worrying for Pala actualy since ne was 35 thinking about tn same questions wih Janet and Timotry In her ming

Could tbe that Paula still had a crush on Burton!
