Chapter 451 He Had No time to Commit the Crime

She said with obvious determination and detachment. With a cold light in her eyes, she turned red in the face with anger.

At this, August went furious without saying the words that came to his lips, and the doubts in his heart slowly dissipated at that moment.

So, Lucia rejected him and the Adams family so much

He tightened his brow, and before he could say anything, Laicia had already taken a step and left in a big stride. As he watched the woman walk away resolutely, a complex emotion welled up in August's heart and he felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. When his phone rang, he slowly came back to his senses.

Taking out his phone, he saw that it was a call from the attendant beside his grandma, and after a moment's hesitation, he pressed the answer button, "Hello, um, I'm already here."

Walking out of the men's store, he walked down the corridor for a while, then through the planetarium to the Cloud Pavilion. When he reached the door, he saw Olivia sitting on the couch, looking despondent. He took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Grandma."

Hearing the sound, Olivia looked up, and when she saw him, her eyes burst into light, "You are here!" August slightly curled his lips, and softened his voice, "Grandma, have you tried on the clothes yet?" Olivia shook her head, reached for his hand, and spoke, "August, I just met two little kids that look a lot like you when you were a kid. Do you think I want to have a great-grandson so much that I dream about it?" August was surprised when he heard this, and after a few seconds, he asked, "They look like me when I was a kid?"

Olivia nodded with certainty, "Yes, their eyebrows are exactly the same as yours!"

At once, August felt a mixture of emotions. With the faces of Timothy, Janet swept through his mind, he was silent and did not speak.

Timothy and Janet were Lucia and Paul's children, but why would Grandma say they looked like him? Moreover, it was he who took Janet's hair to the hospital identification department for a paternity test, and the identification report would not be wrong because he was at the door all the time.

At this point, Olivia suddenly spoke, raised her hand, and gently patted the back of his hand, "August, when will you give me a great-grandson?"

At these words, August was silent.

"Nowadays, if there will be good news to spread, all the bad luck of the company will dissipate.” With that, his grandma looked at him deeply and politely reminded him, "August, you should also think about carrying on the family line.”

August subconsciously resisted a bit, but this was said by his grandma. He could not refute her, so he responded, "Grandma, I know."

Olivia nodded, took his hand, and said in a serious tone, "It's good and you know I'm not well. Don't let me wait too long.”

August nodded and accompanied Olivia for a few moments of small talk before she was coaxed into trying on clothes.

He accompanied Olivia to buy the clothes and had dinner together afterward, before driving her away.

In the afternoon of that day, a media platform sent out news that August accompanied Olivia for shopping and dinner, that the two were close and August was filial and understanding-

Once the positive press release was sent out, the internet was immediately filled with positive comments about August, and with Olivia coming back, even some shareholders who were against him in the company didn't say anything.

August took the opportunity to sign a big project with a foreign company, and suddenly, the company's rumors were much less.

But before the disclosure of confidential documents was a fact. Even if August made more remarkable achievements, there was no way to cover up what happened before, and everyone was waiting for him to explain, while August was also calm and did not mention a word about the outcome of the matter for several days.

In the President's Office of the Lion Group.

August sat at his desk and looked at the stock market graph on his tablet, with his brow knitted tightly. Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, and Burton walked in quickly. With a somewhat serious look on his face, he handed over the document in his hand and spoke, "This is the whereabouts of Joshua.” At that, August immediately averted his gaze and casually flipped through the file.

On Lucia's birthday, Joshua was in his bar. He entered the bar in the morning, did not go out until the evening, and then entered the bar again two hours later.

This was checked by the surveillance cameras outside the bar. If this was the case, Joshua had spent almost the entire day in his bar, so he had no time to commit the crime.

Frowning, before August could ask, Burton next to him went on to report, "The records of his other men are below."

At that, August continued to flip. The more he looked, the more somber his face became.

All of them, Joshua and his best men, had traceable whereabouts, perfectly avoiding the time of the crime. In other words, on the surface, Lucia's birthday kidnapping had nothing to do with them. But that's the most suspicious thing because their alibi was too perfect as if they were deliberately covering. something up.

Inhaling deeply, August played with a black pen in his hand, and his mind raced through all the suspicions.

After a few moments of thought, he looked up at Burton, "The surveillance outside the bar cannot explain much. Can we get the surveillance inside the bar?"

Burton answered truthfully, "I'm afraid not, and I think Joshua won't give us."

August frowned slightly and did not reply.

After knowing each other for so many years, he and Joshua were comrades who fought side by side, friends. who went through thick and thin together, so they knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.

To deal with others, he would choose to get their surveillance secretly, but to deal with Joshua, he'd like to ask him openly.

Taking a deep breath, August closed the file in his hand, walked over to the shredder, and threw it straight in. After a half-second pause, he ordered in a deep voice, "Stand by the car and go to Joshua's place,”

Now, he might as well ask him openly and honestly.

Lucia was kidnapped on her birthday, and he found out that it wasn't Mr. Denko who kidnapped her. Whether it was done by Joshua or not, it had something to do with him.

Arriving at Joshua's bar, August went straight to the cellar.

He had just sat down not ten minutes before the door was pushed open and the familiar sound of footsteps came from far and near. After a long time, a voice with some laughter came, "August."

"Why are you thinking of coming to my place in the daytime?"

Seemingly in a good mood, Joshua casually picked out a boffle of red wine of good vintage from the wine cabinet and put it on the table, and then he brought two goblets from the side

Looking at him trying to open the bottle fluidly, August straightened his back slightly and said in a light voice, "I'm here to talk business today, not drinking."

At that, Joshua paused and said with a smile in his eyes, "Talk business with me?"

August still looked serious, without any intention of joking with him.

Seeing this, Joshua stopped what he was doing, leaned back, and lazily crossed his legs, "What is it? Why are you so serious?"

Without beating around the bush, August asked directly, "Where were you last Friday?"

At those words, Joshua paused, then curled his lips quickly, "Friday? I can't remember. What happened?” August continued unhurried, * it was the day Lucia was kidnapped when I called you and asked you to send someone to find her.”

After August reminded him, Joshua then realized, "Ah, I know! I was at the bar all day, and after I got your call, I went out with my men to look for her. After an hour or two, I heard that she was found, so I came back.” With that, he slowly straightened his back. looked up at August, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's wrong? August, you suspect me?"
