Chapter 089

The expected slap didn’t land on her face, but a low, powerful voice came to her ears.

"Why? A slap isn’t enough?"

Lucia snapped her eyes open and saw a tall figure.

August stood in front of her with his strong arm raised, grabbing the woman’s wrist.

Seeing that she couldn’t say anything, August continued in a cold voice, "I will investigate it.

But if it isn’t, you must be prepared then and give her an answer.’ August had already given her enough respect by saying this in front of so many people without accusing her.

Since you have said that, Mr.Adams, I can’t say anything else."

"However..."

She glanced at Lucia.

Her expression changed and her voice became colder.

"If it’s true and you fail to do what you have said, Mr.Adams, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

After that, she turned around with a snort and walked away through the crowd.´ Lucia stood behind August.
