Chapter 499 His Body Is Gone
No one could change what Lucia had decided to do.
After talking to Timothy and Janet, she took them to the earliest flight to Austos the next morning.
That afternoon, when they arrived at their destination, Lucia brought Sensasha to West Bridge. Elisa
was surprised when she opened the door. She didn't expect that her daughter, who she met in the
video yesterday, would suddenly come back with her grandchildren. today.
"Why, why are you back?"
Lucia was a bit tired, but she still forced herself to smile and said half-jokingly, "What? You don't welcome us?"
"What are you talking about? How can I not welcome you back?"
Elisa smiled and pulled the two little guys into the house. Lucia took a deep breath and followed them. Even though she had arrived in Austos, the uneasiness in her heart still did not disappear. While Timothy and Janet were playing, Lucia pulled Elisa aside. Elisa saw her serious face and guessed what she wanted to say. She asked, "You want to ask about August?"
Taking a deep breath, Lucia knew that she couldn't hide it from her mother, so she nodded and admitted, "Yes, what's going
on with the Adams family?"
The more Lucia listened, the angrier she became, but in the end, when she thought about it, the version her mother had
learned was certainly not quite as true. After all, what they knew was what others wanted them to know. In the evening, she left West Bridge and bought a new mobile phone and a new card. She searched through all the news on the Internet, trying to find a breakthrough. She could not believe that August had died just like that. Moreover, she was increasingly suspicious that Bishop had something to do with all these things.
After reading some news, her eyes were a little sore. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. She paused, picked up her new phone, and called the phone she had lost at the airport. The call went through, but after a few beeps, no one
answered. Just as she was about to give up, someone picked up the phone.
She was delighted and hurriedly said, "Hello?"
It was quiet at the other end of the line. Lucia was stunned. She noticed that something was wrong and quickly took a look
at the screen. After making sure that the phone was still connected, she quickly put it to her ear and asked tentatively, "Hello? Is anyone there?"
It was still terrifyingly silent on the other side. Lucia felt a chill in her heart. She felt that the person on the other end of the
phone was listening, but somehow couldn't speak. This was too strange. At that moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the phone. It seemed to be far away, so she could barely hear it. Lucia vaguely heard her say, "Today ..."
Before the woman could finish her words, she hung up the phone without hesitation. Lucia's heart pounded. She felt that the woman's voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat familiar. She seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but she just couldn't remember where.
At the same time, in the study on the second floor of the villa in the suburbs, Bishop looked at the woman in front of him with
a slightly cold gaze.
Mandy took a deep breath, feeling a little guilty. Bob had specially instructed her to knock on the door before she came in, but she suddenly broke in today. She didn't know that Bishop was on the phone, and judging from his expression, it should be a very important call. She took a deep breath and was about to apologize. "I'm so..."
"No need."
Bishop raised his hand slightly and looked calm again. He even raised the corner of his mouth and gestured to her to come over. Mandy quickly walked to him and grabbed his hand. The two seemed as sweet as ever, but Mandy could feel Bishop was preoccupied and somewhat gloomy. As she expected, after a while, Bishop said seriously, "Mandy, I still have something to deal with..." And that was single for her to leave. Mandy had followed him for a long time, and she naturally understood what he meant. She nodded and left the room.
For a while, Bishop was the only one in the large room.
But soon, there was a knock on the door and Bob panted and pushed his way in, "Young master, we still haven't found it."
The man's face instantly became gloomy and cold, and he clenched the wine glass placed next to him and said coldly. "Did I
train a bunch of losers? Can't you even find a body?"
Bob lowered his head and didn't know what to say. Back then, they beat August half to death. To give him a taste of despair,
Bishop sent his men to throw August into the backwoods of Green Mountain. However, the next day, he sent someone to look for August's body, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find anything.
This was the most suspicious part! Logically, August had been beaten like that, and with the tube of drugs Mr. Denko
injected into him, there was absolutely no way he could have escaped again! But why couldn't they find his body?
"Young Master, is it really as you said? His body was taken away by a wild animal?”
Bishop snorted coldly. "Stupid! I just use it as an excuse. How could you believe that?!"
Back then, in order to obtain the position of the acting president of the Lion group, he had to let everyone know that August had passed away. Therefore, he found a prisoner in prison who was sentenced to death and took that man’s body. However, as long as August's body was not found, he would not feel safe! Bob paused for a moment and said, "I'll ask them to keep
searching.”
Bishop nodded quietly.
Suddenly, he thought of semething. His gaze quickly swept across the phone on the table as he whispered, "By the way, has Lucia returned to the country?”
"Yes, she just came back today."
Hearing that, Bishop narrowed his eyes. If he wasn't wrong, Lucia would come to him soon.
Just as he expected, the next morning, Lucia arrived at the Lion group. In the president's office, Lucia felt inexplicably upset when she saw another man sitting in the seat that belonged to August before.
Bishop sat in a chair and didn’t stand up when Lucia entered. He looked at her with a smile and asked Softly, "Miss Mitchell, what can I do for you?"
Lucia's lips curled into a smile as she looked at his crossed legs and said softly, "It seems like your legs have recovered.”
Bishop smiled and answered, “I found a good doctor. After a period of treatment, I've recovered.” Hearing his words, Lucia didn't say anything but smile at him. It was a strange time for him to meet that good doctor. He just recovered after August disappeared. It was ridiculous.
Obviously, his leg had recovered a long time ago, yet he didn't tell anyone until August had gone and taken August's position. like that. Last time in the film crew, she accidentally saw his leg move. At that time, she was just suspicious about that, but
thinking about it now, his legs should have recovered by then.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Bishop asked with a chuckle, "Miss Mitchell, you didn't come to see me just to ask about my legs, did you?"
Lucia came to her senses, nodded, took a deep breath, looked up, and met Bishop's amber eyes. She asked bluntly, "Is August really dead?"
