Chapter 18

After a few seconds of pause, he got serious again and said softly, "I came to tell you one thing, I will
take you back to the old house this Saturday, grandma wants to see you."

"Grandma?"

Lucia had only heard of August's grandmother from Ms.

Mitchell's mouth before, and the matchmaking had been discussed between Ms.

Mitchell and August's grandmother at first.

Only they hadn't met yet.

Now that August suddenly said that her grandmother wanted to meet her, she had a bit indefinable
nervousness.

"Well, when Grandma heard we got married with a license, she told me to bring you back as soon as
possible 'so she could take a look."

Lucia's two hands clasped together, "But I .....".

I was not ready, she said in her heart.

Before the words were finished, she thought of the scene of August accompanying Professor Mitchell
on his birthday a few days ago.

And she could not say the words that had been on her lips to refuse.

In any case, now she and August were also legally recognized as a legal couple, if she squirmed and
refused to meet the elders, it was not reasonable.



Lucia raised her eyes to August and she said softly, "I'll go with you."

August nodded slightly, "Good, please rest early."

After saying these words, the man turned around and he walked straight out of the room.

The moment the door was closed, Lucia's tension was released in an instant, and she was anxiously
spinning in place.

She hadn't even been in love a few times, let alone met the parents.

And this time they were August's parents who she was going to meet, so how could she not be
nervous! Since she was going to meet his parents, she must to bring some gifts to show her sincerity.

But she couldn't pick a gift at all! Lucia, who was completely out of ideas, was so anxious in the room.

And finally she had no choice but to pick up her cell phone and she called her best friend in England.

"Hello, Paula!"

Paula Thomas' voice came from the other end of the phone with a bit of surprise, "Lucia? Why are you
calling me at this time?"

"A thousand miles of emergency! Don't ask anything else.

Tell me first, if you need to visit the elders, such as your grandmother, what is the appropriate gift?"

"Grandma?"

Paula was confused, "What grandmother You're not going to visit a nursing home for the elderly for
your overflowing love, are you?"



"I'm serious, it's ......"

Lucia's voice paused, and she swallowed back the word "husband".

Paula has been abroad to study music, they had not seen each other for nearly half a year.

Recently she quickly received a certificate, but she was not able to tell her in time.

If Paula knew that she had become a married girl one step ahead of her, she was afraid that she would
fly back from the United States to ask questions.

This matter, maybe it was better that she told her in person when she returned home.

Lucia paused and she hurriedly said, "She is a friend's grandmother.

I'm going to visit her this weekend."

"A friend's grandmother?"

Paula was keenly aware of the scent of gossip, "Which friend, the boyfriend?"

"No, just...a colleague in a company."

Lucia was a little nervous, "Tell me quickly, what would be a better gift."

"I think ......since she is a grandmother.

The more practical was the better.

For example, the massage machine, the cashmere blanket, something good for the body.

That's okay!"



Listen to Paula said so, Lucia suddenly brightened up.

She could not help but say, "Right! Why didn't I think of that?"

The two of them talked a lot unconsciously.

When Lucia hung up the phone, it was already more than an hour later.

She wrote down the list of gifts she had just thought of.

And only.then did her panic ease.

Now the last thing to do was to prepare these gifts before the weekend, and everything would be well
done! Lucia looked at all kinds of massagers online and she didn't go to bed until late at night.

Who knew that the next morning she was up late, then she rushed from the villa to the office in a panic
and she was almost late.

After the morning meeting.

Lucia returned to the office and she was just about to contact some of the gift suppliers she had chosen
yesterday, but before she could dial the number, the phone rang.

"Hello? This is Administration Department."

"Hello, is this Mitchels assistant? This is the receptionist, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Lucia was startled, "Who is it?"

"Ms.



Wright and Mr.Smith."

If she had only said Ms.

Wright or Mr.Smith, she would not have thought of who they were.

But when the two last names were said together, Lucia instantly knew exactly who were looking for her.

After a moment of hesitation, Lucia said in a deep voice, "Please tell them to wait, I'm going down."

The last time at the International Hotel, if August did not appear in time, she was afraid that she would
be spoiled.

And only afterwards she learned from Burton the truth of the matter, it was Carol instigated her cousin
Lydia.

And they also colluded with President Wright to make such a drama.

She never thought that now Carol and Archibald would dare to come to her! Lucia's heart was clogged
with anger, she put down the phone without much hesitation and directly walked out of the office to the
first floor lobby.

Then she saw Carol and Archibald far away.

Two of them were sitting in the lobby sofa area.

As soon as Carol saw Lucia, she immediately teared Archibald and she pulled him up towards her.

Before she got close, she smiled at Lucia and said, "Lucia, you're finally here.

We've been waiting for you for half a day!"



Seeing Carol acted like a different person, Lucia was stunned firstly.

When she was looking at the woman's hypocritical smile, she frowned uncomfortably.

"You are looking for me.

What's the matter?"

Carol turned her head to look at Archibald next to her, and then she looked at her with smile, "

This time, we came to you specifically for apologizing to you.

Lucia was already confused.

And now when she heard Carol said she wanted to apologize, she was even more puzzled.

In her understanding of Carol and Archibald, not to mention apologize, they craved to step on her into
the dust.

So how would they are willing to lower their heads to apologize to her.

Without waiting for her to ask, Carol next to her already touched the Archibald next to her with her arm
and gave him a wink.

Archibald frowned, "Lucia, what happened last time was our fault.

The somebody won't care the mistake of the nobody.

You might forgive us this time, Carol and I are truly repentant."

Lucia clenched her fist, "Forgive you? You're the ones who want to beat me up, and you're the ones
who let Lydia mess with me.



Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?"

Archibald's face turned blue and red, and he said, "Lucia, we admit that we went too far last time, but
because of this incident, August drove the Smith family into a dead corner and he broke the financial
chain.

Isn't that too much?"

Lucia's heart fluttered, "What?"

August drove the Smith family to the brink of extinction? Carol echoed next to him, "Yes, Lucia! As long
as you can forgive us, we'll do our best to compensate you for whatever you want!"

Lucia just felt her head was buzzing, and she couldn't think clearly for a while.

She only knew that after this incident, August never mentioned the matter of Carol and Archibald.

And she knew nothing about the Smith family's broken financial chain.

When she didn't respond for half a day, Carol gradually ran out of patience.

She pushed Archibald and gave him a hard stare.

Archibald understood that.

Even though reluctantly, he also continued to nod and continued to persuade Lucia, "Lucia, you are so
kind.

Surely you do not want to see me and Carol beg on the streets, right? And we're not the only two
Wrights, our families are innocent!"



He reached out and grabbed Lucia's hand, "Even for the sake of our previous friendship, you have to
plead with the president for us! Is it okay.

Lucia?"

Lucia was suddenly held by his hand, she only felt her body shake and her goose bumps fell all over
her body.

She hurriedly pulled her hand back and she took a half step back, "I don't know about this at all."

Archibald opened his mouth and asked, "Lucia , do you really want me to get down on my knees and
beg you?"

For a moment, Lucia did not know what to do.

Archibald looked at her face hesitant, he really backed up a step to kneel down.

"Don't!"

Lucia hurriedly backed up, "I ......

help you! I'll help you talk to him ......"

Archibald eyes surfaced with joy, he hurriedly straightened up and said, "Lucia , I know you are the
kindest!"

Carol's face also surfaced with joy and surprise and she said, "Lucia, this time we are counting on you!"

The two of them thanked her one one by one, Lucia was in a complicated mood.

And it was only after watching them turned away that she slowly came back to her senses.



If this thing was true, she felt that it was a little bit over.

Although Carol had a cruel heart and she instigated people to set up her, there was no need to drag the
whole company.

She was biting her lip.

Then Lucia turned around and got on the elevator in confusion.

After returning to the office, her mind was restless, and her mind went back and forth to this matter.

No matter what she thought, she could not be calm.

Just in time the administration department had some documents to send to the office of the president.

And she was going to deliver the documents and she wanted to take the opportunity to ask August
about the matter.

When she arrived at the president's office, Lucia knocked on the door and went in.

After she put the documents down, however she had no intention of leaving.

August noticed something unusual and he looked up to see Lucia who was standing in front of her desk
and she was staring at him.

At this time, the two were facing each other.

And Lucia's heart sank, she only to felt that the glow of the whole room had gathered on the man, and
his bottomless eyes were trying to suck her whole body in.

"What else is going on?"



A cold male voice came, which instantly pulled her back to reality.

"I...have something to ask you."

Lucia squared her shoulders, "What happened to the Smith family company did you do that?"

"Pop,"

August placed the pen in her hand on the table in a not soft and not heavy way.

And he leaned back with a straight back, "Yes, I did."

"Just now Carol and Archibald came to me, they came to apologize to me.

And I just found out about it."

took a coup breath and then said, "Actually, I think, things should not go this far.

Carol did have a lautt, wur la not unforgivable ......"

Lucia,' August suddenly looked gloomy.

He stared at her and asked, "Have you forgotten what they did to you then?"

Lucia bit her lip and said "I know, but if you do this, you will implicate many innocent people.

The people in the company will lose their jobs, and their families will suffer along with them."

August's eyebrows quivered, and after a few seconds, he looked away, "Don't worry about it, I have the
sense of propriety.

Carol and Archibald fell into this situation, because they deserve it."



Looking at the man's suddenly ice-cold expression, Lucia was about to speak.

But she did not expect that there suddenly came the sound of footsteps behind him.

It followed by Burton's voice, "President, Miss Jeanne she ......"

Burton just said half of the words.

Just at the time he look up, he found that another person was standing in the room, and he hastily
stopped talking.

Lucia heard "Jeanne", and her body unconsciously tensed.

This name, she has heard several times.
