Chapter 374Chapter 374 Cut the Head off the Snake
"The biggest difference between real blood and synthetic blood is the smell.Real blood is very fishy
while..."
Lucia was listening intently to August when the man suddenly jumped out from the corner.He was
dressed in white.
His long, dark hair covering his face contrasted with his hollow, red eyes...
Lucia screamed and subconsciously dodged.
Suddenly, she hit a strong chest.She was so scared that she wrapped her arms around the person's
waist without looking up.
"Ah! Stay away from me!"
Her heart kept pounding and she subconsciously tightened her grip.
Suddenly, a strong arm was put on her shoulder and patted her back.
"It's okay," August said in a low, soft voice.
Lucia stiffened and looked up quickly.
When she saw August's handsome face before her eyes, she felt her blood turn cold and her brain turn
blank.
August was amused by her stunned look.
"You've scared the ghost away.Aren't you letting go of me?"Lucia let go at once, pushed him away, and took a few steps back.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"Mom..."
Hearing the two children's voices, Lucia calmed down.She took their hands and blushed when she
looked up at August again.
"I'm fine.Let's go..."
She gritted her teeth to clear her head and led the children quickly forward.
Along the way, Lucia's heart kept pounding.It wasn't because she was scared.She just felt August's
voice echoing in her ears.
"Aren't you letting go of me?"
Her face got even redder and she subconsciously walked faster, trying to get out as soon as possible.
Finally, they walked out.
Lucia took Timothy and Janet aside to distance them from August.
August looked down at them and asked, "Timothy, Janet, what else do you want to do?"
"I want to ride the roller coaster..."
Lucia gritted her teeth and interrupted Timothy, "No, it's getting late.We should go back."
Timothy pouted in disappointment.Lucia didn't want to disappoint them, but thinking about what Jeanne had said today, she said to
August firmly and seriously, "Mr.Adams, we'd better not meet privately.We're both with someone, after
all.I don't want any problems."
August sensed something even though Lucia didn't say it directly.He wanted to say something, but
Lucia walked away firmly with Timothy and Janet.
Timothy and Janet both turned their heads to look at him reluctantly.
Instantly, he couldn't breathe as if his heart was clenched by a big invisible hand.
For some reason, every time Lucia walked away firmly, he was uncomfortable and frustrated.
As the three walked away slowly, August took out his phone and called Burton.
"Did something happen on the set today that I don't know about?"
Otherwise, why had Lucia's attitude suddenly changed? Burton hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Ms.Kelly went there today."
August narrowed his eyes coldly at once.He had a bad feeling.
‘Jeanne? Why did she go to the set? Did she go to see Lucia?’ Just then, Burton suddenly asked, "Sir,
do you want me to..."
Before he could finish, August said, "No.I know what to do."
Burton immediately nodded.
August thought for a moment and said coldly, "Go to Fountain Mansion tonight"Meanwhile, in Fountain Mansion, Jeanne was sitting on the couch fiddling with her nails with a fresh
coat of nail polish.
After a few seconds, she looked up at Mark, who was standing in front of her.
"What's wrong? What's so important we have to meet?"
Mark lowered his head.
His long bangs drooped and hid the scar on his brow.
"Miss, I've been watching Lucia since you came out of the safari park and went to get a facial this
afternoon.She met up with August around 5:00 and they went to Pleasant Valley next door together."
"What!"
Jeanne sat up straight and stared in surprise.
August hadn't been there when she arrived at the safari park this afternoon.
Director Brook had also said that August hadn't been there for days.
‘Why did he show up as soon as I left?’ Mark took out his phone and showed Jeanne a photo of
August, Lucia, Timothy, and Janet lined up in front of the haunted house.
They stood together like a family of four! Jeanne was furious.
In the afternoon, Lucia had said firmly that she would keep her distance from August, but they had met
as usual after she left! ‘Lucia, do you really think I won't do anything to you?’ Jeanne clenched his fists,
the nails digging deep into her palms."Looks like I don't have to show her any more mercy!"
She looked up at Mark with a sinister look on her face.
"Mark, what do you suggest?"
Mark narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Cut the head off the snake.You have to make her
scared and run away once and for all.That's the most useful way."
Jeanne immediately nodded in agreement.
"You're right! But what does Lucia care about most?" Mark said evilly, "Her children, of course."
Jeanne's eyes lit up.
After a moment, she nodded firmly.
"Exactly!"
novelbinIn the afternoon, Lucia had been very concerned about her children on the set.
Besides, the father of the two children was August.
Jeanne wouldn't let them go.She decided to teach Lucia a good lesson this time! A glint of coldness
passed across Jeanne's eyes.
"Mark, this is all yours.I want you to do it yourself."
Mark immediately nodded.
"Yes, miss."
