Chapter 5

Chapter 005 Lucia's mood was lifted.

Burton continued, 'Madam, Boss is angry because he is afraid that you will suffer.

He is extremely protective."

"Really?"

Hearing this explanation, Lucia was dubious but turned much happier.

Unexpectedly, August just looked cold and yet was warm inside.

Seeing Lucia's smile, Burton panicked.

He had said too much, and his boss would skin him if he found out.

But for the sake of their harmony, it was worth it.

In the Wright's living room, as soon as they got home, Carol angrily smashed everything that could be
smashed in the house, and then she pointed at Archibald, who was kneeling on the ground, and
roared, "Archibald Smith, - what did you mean? You are helping outsiders deal with me, aren't you?"

"Darling, I didn't help her, you are the woman I love the most, and my heart belongs to you,"

Archibald explained to Carol.

Then why don't you hit that bitch? Why are you so afraid of August Adams? He's just a president of a
company."

Carol asked hysterically.

She had never been wronged since she grew up.



Archibald was no longer so bright as he was in the public.

He hung his head and let Carol beat and scold him.

With a muffled voice, he continued to explain, "Honey, we can't mess with August.

He holds most of the commercial territory of the city."

Smith only owned a construction company.

How dare it compete with Mitchell's business empire? Wasn't this like hitting the stone with an egg?
However, Carol had been pampered since childhood.

She could easily get whatever she wanted.

She had never been bullied as badly as she was today.

She despised Archibald for being so timid.

As soon as Archibald spoke, she slapped him in the face.

"Trash! Get out! I don't want to see you."

Archibald heard this, he immediately disappeared in front of Carol.

Feeling tired after venting her anger, Carol sat down and rubbed her temples.

She thought she couldn't let Lucia have a good time.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone, so she hurriedly called over.

In just a few words, the two of them reached a consensus.



After hanging up, Carol was in an improved mood.

"Lucia, aren't you backed by August? See what you do if you lose his protection!"

After returning home, Lucia found that her belongings had been packed by her parents and delivered to
her.

Looking at the bags all over the place, Lucia was speechless.

How much did her mother want to kick her out of the house? Complaining, Lucia still packed up her
belongings.

Finally, there were only some sundries left, which she didn't know where to put them for now.

Since the villa was so big, she thought there should be a storage room.

So, Lucia was holding a box of sundries and familiarizing herself with the environment while looking for
the storage room.

After looking at all the rooms and finding no storage room, Lucia rightfully thought that the room in the
deepest part of the corridor on the second floor was the storage room.

But when she opened the door, what caught her eye was a bookcase full of various books.

"This is the study?"

Lucia stuck her head in and probed inside.

Thinking it was August's study, Lucia stepped in with her legs unconsciously.

She looked at the books on this wall admiringly, and couldn't help but admire August's strength.



She was so engrossed that the cardboard box in her hand accidentally bumped into the picture frame
on the table.

The sound of the frame falling to the ground was particularly clear, making Lucia tremble.

She immediately realized that she was in trouble, and Lucia hurriedly knelt down nervously and picked
up the frame.

Fortunately, the frame was not inlaid with glass.

If it were broken, she would definitely be dead.
