Chapter 389 What Did You Hear?
When Jeanne heard what Lucia blurted out her face changed slightly. She had not expected that
Lucia would ask her so directly
Before she could answer. Lucia stepped forward and walked towards her
With a decent smile on her face, Lucia said softly, "Ms. Kelly, maybe you can tell, I'm no longer the Lucia I used to be
Her tone was very light, and she didnt sound tough at all, but it sent a chill down Jeanne's spine Jeanne frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to say?"
Lucia smiled, calmly turned her head to look at the distant scenery, and said softly, *1 know, you must be very afraid. You're afraid that i
will take away your current position and destroy your family. You're even more afraid that I will take August's heart, aren't you?
Jeanne's face instantly darkened. She couldn't maintain her sanity, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!*
You know if I'm talking nonsense." Lucia tucked her long hair around her ear and said, "To be honest, I can do all of this. I haven't done it because I don't want to."
She met Jeanne's gaze and her voice suddenly became cold, "Do you think I dont know what you've done behind my back?
Hearing Lucia's words, Jeanne froze. She suddenly had difficulty breathing and broke out in a cold sweat. Given what Lucia said, did Lucia already know what she had done?
At this moment. Lucia suddenly took a step forward, approached her, and said in a low voice. "Or do you think you can still plot against me like before and I don't know how to resist?
Jeanne shivered violently, and the toughness she had just now dissipated a lot in an instant
She gnitted her teeth, glared at Lucia, and said, "Lucia, what are you trying to do?!"
* Jeanne, use your brain. If I wanted, with Grandma's affection for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't have beaten me." Lucia took a deep breath and said, "As long as I wanted to, with Grandma's support, do you think I couldn't marry into the Adams family?"
Jeanne was so angry that she lost her mind, and said angrily. "Nonsense! Do you think you could marry into the Adams family if you wanted to?! Even if the old woman supports you, there are still Eliot and Christina in the Adams family! For someone like you with two
bastard children, who do you think you are to marry into the Adams family?!"
When Luga heard the words two bastard children, her face suddenly darkened, and it was frighteningly cold.
The next second, she stepped forward and walked directly in front of Jeanne, looked down at her, and said coldly, "Whether they're bastard children or not, you know it best!
Even without Grandma's support, Eliol and Christina would probably be more willing to welcome me into the Adams family simply
because of the two bastard children you're talking about
With that she glanced down at Jeanne's belly and said, "After all, nothing happened there in the past two years
Lucia's words instantly hit Jeanne's soft spot She turned pale, grifted her teeth to prevent herself from losing her temper, and clenched her fists tightly
On the surface, when others saw her and August together, they would call them a perfect match and she had long been the object of
discussion at the tea party of the upper-class ladies in Austos City
It had been two years since she married into a wealthy family, and she hadn't gotten pregnant yet, which was naturally unreasonable There
were rumors that she and August were infertile, but only she knew that August had not touched her since they got married!
Not even once! It annoyed her the most!
And now, when she was so blatantly mocked by her rival in love, she naturally couldn't be angrier. She gritted her teeth and said, “lucia,
you are so mean!”
Tm not as mean as you! At least, I wouldn't attack innocent children!" Lucia retorted forcefully, "I didn't attack you not because I didn't
have the ability, but because I didn't want to. Jeanne, if anything happens to my family again, I will take everything you have now!"
"Lucial How dare you!"
They were arguing angrily. They didn't notice a man in a suit standing outside the balcony door, motionless
Paula walked across the hall panting, climbed to the second floor, and turned her head to look around. Just when she couldn't find Lucia,
she looked up and saw a man standing outside the balcony
She frowned and looked left and right, but still didn't see Lucia,
She had rushed all the way and didnt even have time to change her clothes. After she arrived at Austos International, she asked several
waiters and finally found Lucia's whereabouts
When she heard that Lucia might be on the second floor, she didn't even think about it and ran up immediately
Unexpectedly, after running upstairs, she found that the place was empty and there was nothing Just as she was about to leave, she heard a faint quarreling sound coming from the side. She followed the sound and saw the balcony
over there. The man was standing outside as if eavesdropping
Paulas heart skipped a beat, and she walked forward lightly. But when she got closer, she found the man's back familiar
Suddenly, the man moved, turned around, and looked straight at her with sharp and vigilant eyes But the moment when their eyes met,
both of them were started
Two seconds later, Paula frowned, and her face darkened a little. It turned out to be Burton!
She thought she saw it wrong!
"Why are you... Just as she was about to ask a question, she suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the balcony. She looked over
and was even more shocked when she saw the two women confronting coch other on the balcony It turned out to be Lucia and the bad woman Jeanne!
She had looked around in the hall just now and didn't see them. She hadn't expected them to be on the second floor. But when did Burton
come here? How much had he overheard?
"You. Just as she was about to speak, Burton's face changed suddenly and he stepped forward immediately. The moment she shouted,
he immediately pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth!
He frowned, lowered his head, and said, "Don't make a sound!"
Paula was so surprised. With her mouth covered, she could only make a muffled sound.
Burton frowned slightly, put his arms around her neatly, retreated to the room nearby, and went in directly.
He carefully closed the door, locked it, and tried not to make any extra noise. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and released the
woman who was constantly struggling and twisting in his arms.
Paula became angry, and her face flushed, “What the hell are you...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Burton gave her a warning look, as if saying that he would cover her mouth again if she didn’t shut up.
She quickly took a step back and looked at him with some vigilance, "What... what are you trying to do?"
"Why were you eavesdropping on Lucia?"
Tell me, what did you hear?"
Paula asked several questions in a row before Burton could answer. Burton was a little helpless, pursed his lips, and didn’t answer.
Seeing his expression, Paula felt a burst of unease in her heart.
Could it be that he already knew?
She secretly gasped. She gritted her teeth, and said seriously, “Burton, what did you hear?!”
