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.

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

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!"
