Chapter 460 Ghost of Guilty
The blood on Jeannes face faded She suddenly turned around and stared at Lucra with wide eyes She leaned her back on the sink, feeling startled and annoyed "Why are you walking so silently? You act like a ghost. You scared me to death!
Lucia curled the corners of her lips, but her eyes were full of coldness Don't do bad things so you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door Miss Kelly, you are so scared, could it be that you did something outrageous and unreasonable lik
what the woman said earlier?"
Her words immediately made Jeanne s face even paler "What nonsense are you talking about?" She avoided her eyes, turned around immediately, and turned on the lap to wash her hands and hide the panic in her eyes
Lucia stepped forward, walked to her side, and said in a cold voice. "Why are you so nervous. Miss Kelly? Look, you are sweating and ruining your makeup”
Jeanne heard her and immediately raised her head to look at the mirror Who knew that she would meet Lucias
unpredictable eyes in the mirror? She was startled and took a deep breath, pretending to be calm “Lucia, dont play tricks here I didn't do anything
As she said that, she suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Lucia to ask. By the way you are not invited here Why are you here?"
Lucia sneered, "The Kelly family didn't invite me to the ribbon cutting ceremony but you did invite the Thomas family Pa was busy with work, and Paula should have come on his behalf, but she cant right now
Speaking of Paula, a trace of panic once again flashed across Jeannes face She took out a tissue to wipe her hands and clenched it into a ball After half a second, she asked. "Why can't she come?! Looking at Jeanne's appearance, a feeling of nausea rose in Lucia's heart it was getting hard for her to suppress her anger and disgust
Jeanne could keep pretending, but her eyes and her micro expressions couldn't deceive others! Her little movements subconsciously cover up her panic, but her eyes were enough to show that she had something to do with the car accident! Lucia gritted her teeth as she looked at the woman in front of her, wishing she could rush up and tear her up! This woman provoked her time and time again. She hurt her many times, but this time, she went overboard!
At this moment, there was no conclusive evidence that could be presented in court yet so she couldn't act impulsively otherwise, she would not only fail to get justice but would be self-defeating Seeing that Lucia didn't speak for a long time, Jeanne threw the ball of paper from her hand into the trash can. She smiled contemptuously and spoke, “Lucia, I don't have the time to play games with you. Since you want to come to our ribbon-cutting ceremony so badly, let's move and get back in there"
Saying that she took a step to walk out of the bathroom
Lucia tensed up all over again as she turned around abruptly. When Jeanne walked to the door, she strode forward and caught up with her. She grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her back, making Jeanne scream
Before Jeanne could figure out the situation, Lucia pushed her against the wall by force. She was startled, and then she saw Lucia standing in front of her. The two of them were very close Her dark, shiny, and firm eyes were staring at her deeply Jeanne was taken aback. She took a deep breath and wanted to push Lucia away, "You are sick!"
Lucia opened her mouth and said furiously. "Miss Kelly, didn’t you just ask me why Paula couldn't come? Because she had a car accident. She was hit by a lunatic with a car, and the driver ran away. However, as long as I, Lucia, am in Austos, I will keep on investigating it One day, I will find that person! I will send her to prison with my own hands and make her experience what it means to destroy life!"
Jeanne froze in place, frightened by her. Her complexion turned pale. After a few seconds, Lucia let go of her and she gasped for breath as she came back to her senses.
The words Lucia said were like a series of spells that kept lingering in her mind over and over again. The fear hidden in Jeanne's heart magnified that she couldn't hold it anymore.
Could it be that Lucia already knew that it was her who hit Paula? Didn't Mark say that everything was cleaned up? How did
Lucia know about it?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened and flustered she became.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and kept trying to keep her sanity. She glared at Lucia and cursed, "Crazy!"
As she said that, she ran out quickly as if fleeing from something
Seeing Jeanne running away, Lucia's body loosened like a tight string. She was also sweating profusely and panting heavily The breath she was holding earlier that almost suffocated her, was finally released.
She came here today to test Jeanne and know the truth. Now, after some confrontation, she was almost sure that Jeanne was the one who hit Paula! Otherwise, she wouldn't be afraid like that.
But at the same time, knowing who the murderer was, and being unable to subdue and punish her, pained Lucia.
She retreated to the bathroom and looked up only to find that her eyes were already red
After staying for a while, her mood gradually stabilized. She washed her hands and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the bathroom, she found a tall figure outside.
August leaned against the wall while holding a phone in his right hand to his ear. He was making a call, but he seemed to be waiting for someone.
Seemingly aware of her gaze, he turned his head and looked at her. His expression was as usual. He was not surprised at all, as if he knew she would come out after a long time.
Lucia took a deep breath, looked away, and walked straight forward as if she had seen a stranger August focused on the other end of the phone and commanded in a low voice, "Well, that's it" After he finished speaking, he put away his phone and walked forward without hesitation, directly blocking her way.
“Let's talk."
Lucia was being cold and refused directly, "I have nothing to talk about with you
As if he didn't expect her to be so resistant, he frowned slightly. After two seconds, his face became calm again. He moved
his lips and asked, "Did you cause what happened today?"
The uproar at the ribbon-cutting ceremony just now was a little deliberate, but it also had some effect.
Lucia knew what he was referring to. She frowned, looked at him, and pretended to be stupid, “What is it? I don't know
After saying that. she took steps to avoid him and walked away.
August stretched out an arm and blocked her again. "I have no other intention, I just want to remind you, if you did it, clean it up. Martin will send someone to investigate.”
Hearing his kind reminder, Lucia sneered without appreciation. “Mr. Adams, I think you misunderstood. just came to join in the fun, I didn't expect to see such chaos while I'm at it. You are barking without basis. It's not good.”
She raised her chin slightly, calmly, and confidently as she excused herself eloquently.
Before August could speak again, she continued, "Mr. Adams, are you talking to me like this to look for the mastermind of what happened and avenge your beloved wife?"
Objectively speaking, August would stand on Jeanne’s side no matter what, This incident damaged the reputation and interests of Kelly's Family and Jeanne. Not only did August want to help with the investigation, but he even dared to give her such kind" advice.
She snorted coldly and slandered in secret. August and his wife were like cat and mouse who had fake compassion for each other.
