Chapter 125

Looking at the new round of dishes on the table, Lucia picked up the fork, ate a few bites, and
inadvertently looked up at the table in the center area where August was.

Ted next to him was gone.

With a chill at her back, she instantly sobered up a bit and turned her head to look at the neighboring
table, noticing that at some point Irene had disappeared as well.

It seemed that Irene had already started to take action.

Becoming very nervous, Lucia clenched her two hands together, with a layer of sweat emerging from
the palms of her hands.

She took a deep breath, and when she looked up, she met August's unreadable dark eyes.

Crossing the crowd, he looked steadily towards her.

Even though the distance was far, she could feel at ease.

Inhaling deeply, Lucia adjusted her breathing and slowly calmed down.

On the other hand, Carol searched the entire second floor with her friends but did not see Archibald’s
figure.

She went to the corridor and cursed furiously, "He is deliberately hiding from me! Archibald, when I find
you, I will not spare you!"

The woman next to her saw this and said with some hesitation, "Carol, there are some things I don't
know if I should say..."



Carol’s face was somber, "Go ahead! Just tell me what you know.Do you still want to hide it from me?"

"When we came in just now, I heard Annie say that she saw Archibald and Lucia together just now, and
the two of them were talking and laughing..."

"What!"

Carol was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to stomp a hole in the ground, "He’s actually
with her! I'm going to settle the score with that bitch right now!"

"Ah-choo!"

Lucia sneezed and felt a little chill at the back of her head.She tugged the clothes on her body and was
a little confused.Had she gotten a cold? She had sneezed three times in the past few minutes.

At that moment, a waiter in a black and white tuxedo approached her, bowed slightly, and asked softly,
"Are you Ms.Mitchell?"

Lucia turned her head and locked eyes with him.Her heart sank and she nodded in response, "I
am.What can I do for you?"

"There's a gentleman here to see you.Can you come with me?"

Lucia gripped her phone tightly for a moment.

Before she could think of a good answer, her phone vibrated, and she tapped it open to see that it was
from August, "He's one of us and go with him."

When she saw his message, Lucia was sure.She turned her head and nodded at the waiter with a
smile, standing up, and following him forward.

This waiter, the one Irene paid off, was only later bought off by August at a higher price.



Originally, Irene had planned a game.

Irene had someone get Ted drunk and send him to the private room on the third floor to rest.

Then Irene lured her to the third floor through the waiter, knocked her out, and pushed her into the
private room.

Finally, Irene sent the media reporters who were paid in advance to take pictures.

In this way, her inappropriate relationship with Ted would be confirmed.

She would be completely disgraced and even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't be
washed away.

But now, the waiter had been bought off by August, so, everything would turn upside down and Irene
would have to pay the price for her ruthlessness! With her heart beating fast, Lucia was nervous and
remained calm on the surface.

She followed the waiter and stepped up to the third floor.

Not far away, Carol, who was looking for Lucia everywhere, saw the familiar figure at the stairway and
immediately took a step to follow her.

When she arrived on the third floor, Lucia followed the waiter and walked along the corridor for a long
time, but she did not see Irene’s figure.

She took a deep breath and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

According to the original plan, Irene should appear when she was almost at the entrance of the private
room.

But now, after walking for a long time, Irene was nowhere to be seen.



Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from behind Lucia, "Stop!"

Pausing, she quickly turned around and turned her head.

It wasn't Irene but Carol! Carol approached her aggressively, looking as if she was asking for a crime,
"Lucia, you bitch.You have no shame in seducing my husband!"

Lucia frowned.

Looking at the woman rushing towards her, she subconsciously backed up.

The waiter on the side saw this and hurriedly blocked in front of her, "This lady, calm down."

"How can I calm down? You get out of the way!"

Carol glared at Lucia and yelled at her, "Lucia, don’t pretend! Where's Archibald? Where did you hide
him?"

Lucia clenched her fist, feeling angry.She had only said a few words to Archibald, and Carol said that
she had seduced him.She was completely unreasonable! At the same time, in the private room
opposite Ted's, Irene was hiding behind the door and saw the scene outside through the peephole,
furious.

According to her plan, the waiter would knock Lucia out at the door and push her into Ted's private
room.

But at this critical moment, a woman suddenly appeared and was about to disrupt her plans! Irene
turned on her Bluetooth earphones and instructed the waiter, "Hurry up and take this damn woman
away.Let Lucia stay and I'll deal with her!"



Originally, it should have been this waiter who knocked Lucia unconscious and pushed her into the
private room, but now the appearance of this woman made her have to do it herself.

The waiter hesitated for a moment when he heard the voice in the earphone.

Looking at the situation in front of him, he could only do what Irene said first.

Otherwise, if Irene's suspicions were aroused, all was over.

The waiter turned his head to Lucia and spoke, "Ms.Mitchell, wait for me here for a moment and I'll be
right back."

With that, he pulled Carol, who was still in hysterics and cursing, and quickly walked towards the other
side.

Lucia stood in place.

There was some uneasiness in her heart as she watched them disappear at the stairway.

Why hadn't Irene appeared yet? She gritted her teeth and fished out her cell phone to call August, but
as soon as she opened her address book, there was a "creak" behind her. Before she could turn
around, the back of her head "bang" received a fierce stick.

Instantly, she felt dizzy and couldn't even stand up.

With weakness in her body, she fell to the ground unawares.

Irene held a baseball bat in both hands, her hands trembling a little.

When she saw Lucia fall to the ground, a grim smile appeared on her face.



"Lucia, now you can’t escape!"

With that, she lifted her foot and kicked her roughly on the back.

With a sharp pain in her back, Lucia sobered up a bit.

Dazed and confused, she opened her eyes, but her vision in front of her was blurred.

She blinked with great effort and finally saw the woman in front of her.

Irene looked at her condescendingly, with a terrible smile on her face that made others shudder.

The blow to Lucia’s head almost knocked her unconscious, and she drew a cold breath as she tried to
get up from the floor.

But Irene didn’t give her the chance to do so.She grabbed Lucia’s arm, fished out a room card, and
dragged her towards the next room.

"Lucia, aren't you very proud of yourself? After today, I'll make you the most famous person in Austos
City!"

She had waited for this day for a long time! Seeing that she was about to be dragged to the door of the
room, Lucia shuddered and forced herself to sober up a little.She must stop Irene! Lucia bit her lower
lip, and with a force, a smell of blood filled her mouth.She took a deep breath, reached out her hand,
and grabbed Irene’s ankle.

Irene was wearing eight-centimeter-high heels, and when Lucia pulled hard, Irene couldn't stand up
and fell hard to the ground!
