Chapter 388Chapter 388 Time for Her to Have A Showdown with Jeanne The man in the wheelchair looked like a
graceful gentleman with a kind and gentle smile.
But looking at him, Lucia somehow felt a chill down her spine.
She smiled at him and said softly, "Mr.Adams, long time no see."
Hearing how she addressed him, Bishop frowned slightly, but the expression on his face didn't change
much.
He smiled, changed the way he addressed her naturally, and praised, "I haven't seen you in five years.
Ms.
Mitchell, you look really beautiful.
"Thanks, Mr.Adams, you look in good spirits."
When they met again after five years, Bishop was no longer pale and weak as he used to be in Lucia's
impression.
Although he was still sitting in a wheelchair, his skin was tanned and his weakness had faded, and he
had become more masculine.
The two of them flattered each other for a while.
Lucia glanced down at the time on the phone, looked at Bishop, and said softly, "Mr.Adams, I have
something else to do.
I'm afraid I have to go."Bishop smiled and said, "Go ahead."
After they nodded to each other, Bishop turned the wheelchair to leave.
Lucia glanced at him inadvertently.
When she saw his legs move slightly under the blanket, she suddenly froze in place.
Weren't Bishop's legs completely paralyzed? Why did he move just now? Lucia raised her eyes and
looked over again, only to see him driving the wheelchair away, and there was nothing unusual.
Lucia frowned, and her heart was full of doubts.
She saw Bishop's legs move just now, and she was not dazzled! Could it be...
"Lucia!"
There suddenly came a voice from behind and Lucia came to her sense.
She turned her head to look over and saw Paul walking towards her.
Paul stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulder naturally, "How was your talk with Mrs.Adams?"
"Very good.
Let's go over there."
Lucia took Paul to a corner where there were few people on the side and then turned to look at the
center position in the party.
It was crowded, and the one who was surrounded in the center was Mrs.Adams.With her son Eliot and grandson August here, people who were somewhat well-known in the entire
Austos City were all gathered here.
novelbinOn the surface, it was Grandma's 70th birthday party, but it was a good opportunity for the upper class
of Austos City to make friends and gain resources.
August and Jeanne were standing on the side like a model couple, greeting all the people who came to
talk.
Seeing such a scene, Lucia felt inexplicably disgusted.
She frowned and looked away.
Paul was keenly aware of her change beside her.
He took a deep breath and said softly, "Lucia, what are you going to do next?"
He knew very well that Lucia came not only to congratulate Grandma on her birthday.
More importantly, she wanted to talk to Jeanne.
Lucia took a deep breath and said lightly, "I've already made up my mind.
This time you don't interfere, and I'll do it myself, okay?"
With that, she stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the back of Paul's hand.
The firmness in her eyes and the warmth in her palm made Paul a little more at ease.
He paused and held her hand, "Okay, it's up to you."
Lucia nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.Now that she and Jeanne were enemies, it was time for her to have a showdown with Jeanne.
After more than half an hour, the crowd gradually dispersed.
They were drinking and chatting in groups of three and two.
Except for the festive decoration, the rest of the party was just like an ordinary business party.
Lucia suddenly felt a little sorry for Grandma.
She gritted her teeth, looked around the hall, and began to look for Jeanne.
But she couldn't find her after looking around.
She stood up, looked at Paul next to her, and said softly, "I'll go by myself.
Don't worry about me."
With that, she walked away.
Paul raised his eyes and looked at her elegant and charming back.
His eyes darkened a bit and suddenly felt a little worried.
After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and made a call in the end.
Soon, the call was answered, and Paula's voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the
matter, Paul?"
"Where are you now?"
Paula said, "I'm on my way there.Didn't I say that there's a performance today? I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and I
hurried to Austos International.
It will take more than twenty minutes!"
Paul said in a low voice, "Well, come as soon as possible.
Lucia has already gone to see her.’ "She went to see that bad woman! Why didn't you stop her?!"
"Sir, hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"
Before Paul could speak, Paula screamed and immediately hung up the phone.
Paul frowned helplessly, and slowly put away his phone.
He still looked a little worried.
It was not that he didn't want to interfere, but Lucia was determined to talk to Jeanne this time, and he
couldn't stop it.
Moreover, as her nominal husband, it was inappropriate for him to come forward.
Otherwise, August would be involved and things would get more complicated.
He had no choice but to call Paula and ask her to come over to have a look to dissuade Lucia in time
when something happened.
He wasn't sure whether Paula could rush over at the right time.
After walking around the hall, Lucia didn't see Jeanne.
Inadvertently, she went up the stairs and reached the second floor.As soon as she turned around, she saw a bright figure on the small balcony on the second floor.
The bright red dress was so dazzling.
Who else could it be if it was not Jeanne? Lucia stepped forward, only to realize that there were two
women beside her.
The three of them were chatting and laughing.
Lucia walked over.
As soon as she walked to the small balcony, Jeanne turned around reflexively.
The moment she saw Lucia, her face suddenly became gloomy, and there was a bit of jealousy in her
eyes.
The two women next to her also followed her gaze.
When they saw Lucia, they looked her up and down meaningfully.
Lucia saw the three people's reactions.
She walked forward, looked at Jeanne, and said softly, "Ms.
Kelly, I have something to tell you.
I wonder if you have time."
When Jeanne heard this, she sneered, turned to look at the two women next to her, and said, "You go
to the hall first."
"Jeanne, can you do it alone?"A woman next to her glanced at Lucia vigilantly.
Jeanne frowned and said coldly, "You go first.
We have something to talk about."
The two women looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything, and immediately walked away.
Only the two of them were left on the small balcony.
Jeanne raised her chin slightly, and her face turned cold.
She didn't take Lucia seriously, "What do you want to say?"
Jeanne had seen it when Lucia and Grandma were talking in the hall just now.
She really couldn't understand it.
It had been five years.
Why did the old woman still miss Lucia so much?! In the past few years, the old woman had never
been so affectionate to her! The more Jeanne thought about it, the angrier she became.
She raised her eyes again and looked at Lucia with a little more undisguised disgust.
When Lucia saw this, she didn't panic, and said lightly, "Ms.
Kelly, you must dislike me very much, right?"
