Chapter 418Chapter 418 Just Trust Me
The trunk was bloody like a murder scene.
A dead cat was lying there with its two eyes beside it.
Lucia was stunned.She covered her mouth with trembling hands, but she couldn't make a sound.She
bit her lip to clear her head and then noticed that in addition to the dead cat, there was a familiar
card.She ignored the words on it and stiffened when she noticed the spider web symbol in the bottom
right corner.
It was that symbol again! Who was it? Lucia averted her eyes, took a deep breath, closed the trunk,
and staggered back.
With fear in her heart, she even felt the rain hit her heart and chilled her to the bone.
Suddenly, she remembered what had happened in the swimming pool a few days ago.
August had taken them away seriously and said it was not safe.She hadn't believed him, but these
strange things had shaken her.
Was she really being targeted by some terrorist group? If it was true, Timothy, Janet, Bill, and Elisa
were all in danger! With this in mind, Lucia took out her phone nervously and made a call with trembling
hands.
At this moment, she could only ask August for help! Soon it went through.
When she heard August's low, firm voice on the other end of the line, Lucia said in a constricted voice,
"August..."She had a lot to say, but she didn't know how to say it.
August realized that something was wrong.
He immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Lucia bit her lip.
"Can you come over here..."
Before she could finish, August interrupted her, "Give me your address."
In less than half an hour, a black car stopped in front of Lucia’s car.
August quickly got out of the car.He looked around with sharp eyes and soon saw Lucia hiding under a
tree.It was drizzling.
Lucia's wet hair was plastered to her cheeks, and she looked so pitiful with her body curled up in a tight
little ball.
August's heart jolted.He frowned slightly and strode toward her despite the rain.He leaned down, wiped
the rain off her face, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Instantly, his words dispelled the sadness, tiredness, and fear in Lucia's heart.She looked up and
subconsciously tugged at his shirt.
"The trunk..."
August immediately went to the trunk.
When he opened it and saw the dead cat, his face instantly darkened.He glanced at the card with a
frown on his grim face.He picked up the card, which was stained with the cat's blood, and saw thewords on it.
"Ms.Mitchell, since you don't like flowers, let's make it interesting."
There was also a spider web symbol in the lower right corner.
August clenched his fist, his bones clattering.He immediately crumpled the card into a ball and threw it
away.
Suddenly, Lucia asked in a shaky voice behind him, "Am I being targeted?"
August took a deep breath, turned to look at her, and said firmly, "Don't worry.I'll Keep you safe."
Still scared, Lucia took a deep breath.
"Do you know something?"
She could tell by his reaction and tone of voice that he knew something.
August looked at her firmly.
"If I tell you, you'll be in more danger, so just trust me and don't ask anything."
Lucia was relieved by his words.She took a deep breath, looked up into his dark eyes, and nodded to
him.
"I trust you."
August nodded slightly, took an umbrella from Burton, held it over her head, and ordered, "Have the
driver take her car to the car wash."
Burton immediately went to inform the driver.August lowered his head to look at Lucia's pale face.He felt bad for her and said in a soft voice, "Where
are you going? I'll take you there."
Lucia suddenly remembered that Paula was still waiting for her.She quickly took out her phone and saw
several missed calls.She looked up and asked August, "Can you take me to Ernie Plaza?"
"Hmm."
Relieved, Lucia walked to her car, took out the dress she had prepared for Paula, and got into August's
car.
On the way to Ernie Plaza, she kept staring blankly except for when she sent a message to Paula.She
couldn't get the bloody image out of her head.
August knew she was frustrated.He asked, "Who are you going to see at Ernie Plaza? Paul?"
Lucia replied in a soft voice, "Paula."
Burton, who was driving, frowned slightly.
After that, it remained silent in the car.
Soon they arrived at Ernie Plaza and the car slowed down.
Lucia turned to look at August and wanted to thank him.
He had come over as soon as he received her call, arranged for his driver to wash her car, and sent
her to Ernie Plaza.
novelbinShe really should thank him.Before she could say anything, August knew what she was thinking.
He raised an eyebrow and said flatly, "If you want to thank me, I like action."
Lucia was speechless.She ignored him and just got out of the car.
Soon Burton approached her with an umbrella and handed her another one.
Lucia took it and thanked him.She noticed that Burton looked like he wanted to say something, so she
asked, "Anything else?"
Burton hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to talk to you about Paula."
When Burton mentioned Paula, Lucia had mixed feelings.
In fact, she had wanted to talk to Burton for a long time, but she had been very busy.
Now that Paula was about to go on tour, she had to talk to Burton as soon as possible.
She asked seriously, "What do you want to say?"
Burton asked with a frown, "Why has Paula been pushing me away?"
