Chapter 447 She's the One Who Made a Fool of Herself
"H... how could 17"
When he faced Jeanne's questioning and scrutiny, a cold sweat broke out on Director Brook's forehead. Before he could say anything, Jeanne suddenly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Director Brook, I saw you with Lucia just now. What did she say to you?"
Director Brook smiled apologetically, "Nothing, and she just say something about work."
"Really?" With a coldness sweeping across the bottom of her eyes, Jeanne glanced at the things in Director
Brook's hand.
She raised her chin slightly and asked in a cold voice, " Then what are those in your hand?" Director Brook took a deep breath and subconsciously hid them behind him, "Nothing"
His behavior made Jeanne more curious, so, Jeanne stepped forward and reached out to grab the things he was holding.
Director Brook subconsciously dodged, frowning slightly, "Ms. Kelly, sorry, this is some documents from work, and cannot be seen by others.”
Instantly, Jeanne's face became somber, "Others? What do you mean by others? Don't you know my relationship with August?”
She was furious when she saw Director Brook defending Lucia, and with a burst of anger, she reached for it again.
Director Brook dodged, but his hand was still hit and the black velvet box fell out of his hand to the ground. By the time he reacted, Jeanne had already bent down and picked the box up.
Holding the box, Jeanne smiled crookedly with glee.
She just wanted to see what was inside!
The next second, when she opened the box and saw the star and tear sapphire necklace inside, she froze violently.
With her body stiffened, she felt a coldness instantly creep up her back. How... how could it be this necklace! Director Brook next to her still didn't know what was going on, and seeing her like this, he frowned and said,
"Ms. Kelly, this is others’ thing..."
The next second, Jeanne was blue in the face and looked at him with wide eyes, asking, "What else did Lucia say when she gave this to you!"
Seemingly not expecting to see such a reaction from Jeanne, Director Brook paused and hesitantly opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Jeanne's heart was instantly filled with anger, and with wide eyes, she looked at Director Brook and forced him, "Tell me, what did she tell you!"
"She... asked me to pass these on to President Adams.”
Hearing these words, Jeanne felt an instant "buzz" in her head, as if something had exploded in her ears.
She knew this necklace, the work of a well-known jewelry design master and there was only one in the world. It could not necessarily be bought with money.
When she first saw the design drawing and photo of this necklace in August's room, she knew that this necklace was ordered by August. At that time, she was excited and thought that this was a gift August prepared for her on their third wedding anniversary, but unexpectedly, she saw this necklace in Lucia's hand.
In other words, this necklace was not prepared by August for her, but by him for Lucia!
A jealousy that was hard to suppress came over her as she knew everything. She gripped the black velvet box in her hand, wanting to crush the necklace immediately.
"Ms. Kelly, this necklace...”
Next to her, Director Brook couldn't take it anymore and finally speak up.
Jeanne returned to her senses and clenched her teeth. Looking at the necklace in her hand, she finally closed the lid and tossed it to Director Brook, holding back her anger, "Director Brook, don't tell anyone I've seen this necklace, or you will suffer the consequences.”
Dropping these threatening words, she turned around and walked away quickly.
Frozen, Director Brook finally put the things away and turned to leave.
He had already figured out that the relationship between August, Lucia, and Jeanne was not that simple.
He would just do what Lucia entrusted to him and not meddle in anything else.
On the side of the road, Jeanne pulled open the door and got into the car. She was so angry that her head was about to explode.
She never thought that August would give the necklace to Lucia, and she thought that August would not show his love for Lucia too blatantly, but now, he had no intention of avoiding it!
She was happy to tell her female friends about the necklace August had prepared for her, but in the end, she was the one who made a fool of herself. If the truth was known, she would have no face. More so, she wouldn't allow Lucia to be better than her!
"I'm furious!"
Jeanne was so angry that she grabbed the bag in her hand and threw it to the side.
At the sound, Mark, who was sitting in the front row, slowly looked up at Jeanne through the rearview mirror, and asked, "Ms. Kelly, what's wrong?"
Jeanne gritted her teeth in anger. When she thought of that incident, she didn't know how to say it because it was embarrassing.
"Mark, help me think of a way to get rid of Lucia, this thorn in my side!"
She hadn't had time to take revenge for Lucia stealing her thunder in front of Jonathan last time. Now, this was happening and she couldn't stand it anymore!
Compared to Jeanne, Mark was much calmer. He drove calmly, and said softly, "Ms. Kelly, I told you that to get rid of Lucia, we have to take our time.”
Jeanne gritted her teeth, "I can't wait!"
Mark said leisurely, "A little impatience spoils great plans. Ms. Kelly, think about it and you are too impulsive now."
Listening to the man's serious persuasion, Jeanne not only did not lose her anger but also became more furious.
If it wasn't for Mark's advice, she would have taken revenge on Lucia last time. Now she couldn't stand it anymore! If she didn't teach Lucia a lesson, she wouldn't be able to sleep or eat well!
Since Mark was too indecisive to do it, she would do it herself!
She didn't believe she couldn't fix Lucia, who was just an ordinary person!
Besides, Lucia had two children with her. If she kept letting things go like this, one day she would be thrown. out by the Adams family without mercy!
No, she wouldn't allow that to happen!
With that in mind, Jeanne gritted her teeth, looked ahead, and ordered in a cold voice, "Mark, stop the car and I want to get out.”
"Ms. Kelly, aren't you going to the mall?"
She said coldly, "Fm going to do some business nearby, so pull over.”
Mark hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled over to the curb.
When she got out of the car, Jeanne took a step and walked forward without looking back.
Before she thought Mark was her right-hand man, but now he wouldn't do anything other than advise her to be patient!
ft didn't matter and she could do it herself]
As long as Lucia, the thorn in her side wasn't got rid of, she could not rest in peace!
The most important thing for her now was to go to the Lion group and see what August's current situation was!
Recently, the Lion group kept having trouble, and August was busy. If she took advantage of this time to make a move on Lucia, August wouldn't have had a chance to take care of it
As she thought about what to do, a coldness flashed under Jeanne's eyes. After walking around, she went back to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and headed directly to the Lion group.
Soon, Jeanne arrived at the President's Office of the Lion group, but she was stopped when she went to the door.
“President Adams has gone to a meeting, so, please go to the meeting room and wait for him for a while."
Being stopped by a secretary, Jeanne was not happy and said coldly with a frown, “Open your eyes and see who
I am. How dare you stop me!”
