chapter 406

Chapter 406 You are still fond of her?

Jeanne widened her eyes and looked at August with an unbelievable expression. "August, are you

doubting

me?"

Before August could reply, Jeanne started crying.

Jeanne looked aggrieved and couldn't stop crying. "August, why would I tell dad about this kind of

thing? Even

if you are still fond of Lucia in your heart, I am okay with that...

Seeing that, August frowned and felt impatient inexplicably.

At one time, he would soften when he saw Jeanne crying. But now, he would only feel impatient

about it. "August..." Jeanne then held August's wrist.

August frowned more and took his hand back from Jeanne's hand. He took something out of his

pocket and

threw them on the table.

August glared at Jeanne and said coldly, "Then how do you explain this?"

Jeanne inhaled a breath and stiffened, looking at the table.

Those are some photos with blurry figures on them. It was a man who was in black cloth and wore a

cap that

could cover most part of his face.

But Jeanne could recognize the man in the photo when she just took a glance because that was her

capable.

subordinate, Mark!

Jeanne was stunned for a moment, but instantly, she had an innocent expression on her face again.

She looked

at August and asked, "August, what are these?"

August narrowed his eyes and watched Jeanne's expression. He pursed his lips coldly and didn't

respond. Jeanne felt guilty very much as August kept staring at her. Since August didn't respond to

her, she picked those photos up deliberately and looked at them one by one. The last one was the

clearest, she could see the man's

face clearly.

Without a doubt, that was Mark.

Jeanne widened her eyes slightly and looked at August in surprise. "He... he is Mark! Isn't he still in

prison?

How can ...

Looking at Jeanne's natural expression, August frowned. He walked forward to Jeanne and looked

down into

her eyes as if he was trying to read her mind.

Then, August asked in a deep voice, "You have no idea where he is now?"

Five years ago, Lucia almost got hit by a motorcycle. And then, Mark confessed his crime and

admitted that he was the mastermind. But now, he was released before his sentence was up. And

then, a lot of things happened

to Lucia, and Mark was caught on a security camera.

All these things made August have no reason not to doubt him.

Last time, Janet was bit by a boa without rhyme or reason, and this time, Lucia fell off the horse

suddenly.

August thought all these things were so weird.

Jeanne looked up at August and her eyes were red. "You think I know where Mark is?"

August said, word by word, "Jeanne, tell me the truth."

He didn't want to investigate it himself, because he thought he would be very disappointed when

he finally

found out the truth.

Jeanne gritted her teeth and asked back suddenly, "August, you doubt me for that woman?"

"We've known each other much longer than you've known that woman. Didn't I treat you well

enough?” Jeanne was crying as she asked that.

August frowned and was getting angry when he remembered what had happened before.

He fully trusted Jeanne before, but there were too many things happening later. August was a

rational adult,

and he wouldn't trust her words cursorily because of her tears.

"Jeanne, I will give you time to think about it now, and you are going to tell me the truth later. If you

lie to me

because of this kind of thing, then I think our marriage doesn't mean anything anymore.”

After finishing his words, August turned around ruthlessly and walked to the door. Jeanne's body

stiffened instantly, she questioned, "August, are you still fond of Lucia?"

August stopped suddenly and stiffened. He stilled there for two seconds and left the room.

After the door was closed, Jeanne fell to the ground instantly. She clenched her fist, and her face

was so pale. Then, she felt furious, as if there were two flames burning into her eyes.

Jeanne never thought that August would find Mark. She especially warn Mark and asked him to be

safe, but she

didn't expect that he was caught on a security camera.

What she didn't expect more was that August used their marriage to force her to tell the truth. Thus

it can be

seen how much he cared about Lucia!

Jeanne was so depressed that she almost couldn't breathe. She clenched her fist and threw the vase

on the

floor.

"Bang!" The vase smashed into pieces and the debris scattered everywhere.

Jeanne gritted her teeth and felt still angry. She grabbed the vase on the other side and intended to

throw it on

the floor. But she glanced at the debris on the floor, and suddenly, she thought of something.

She stopped throwing that vase and looked at the cutting edge of the shards on the floor, coming

up with at

plan.

After getting out of the master bedroom, August raised his head and saw Eliot and Christina

standing at the

door. They were about to leave.

dl

He walked forward and looked at Eliot with an expressionless face. "Father, are you going to leave?”

Eliot frowned and snorted. "Or I stay here to continue to hear about your gossip? I don't want to die

yet."

Seeing that, Christina patted Eliot on his back and said, "Okay, that's enough. Let's go now and

leave them

alone."

Eliot snorted. He glanced at August and instructed deeply. "Treat Jeanne well. In the beginning, you

are the one

who insists on marrying her, and now, you haven't been a good husband. That's ridiculous!"

After finishing her words, Eliot walked to the car and got in it with his hands clasped behind his

back. Christina looked at August and forced herself to smile. "Your dad is a mean-spoken but kind-

hearted person.

Don't be mad at your dad and stay safe and well with Jeanne.”

Hearing the polite formula from Christina, August nodded slightly. He didn't change his expression

and replied

in a flat tone, "Got it, aunt.”

Hearing that appellation, Christina's smiling face stiffened. Then she didn't speak more and got in

the car. August stood at the door and watch them leave. At that time, the sound of something being

broken came from

the bedroom on the second floor.

He frowned and walked to the car. August got in the car and said, "Go to see Joshua.”

Then, August looked at the car in front of him and added, "Go the other way."

Joshua showed up after August drank half a bottle of red wine.

Joshua walked to August and sat across from him, asking, "Why? You came to me a lot lately.”

"Want to talk about business."

August put the red wine glass down and asked in a serious voice suddenly, "Did Ethan show up

again?"

Hearing August's words, Joshua's expression also became serious.

After a while, Joshua sat up straight and asked deeply, "How do you know that?"

With August's current status, how could he possibly know that?
