Chapter 367


    Chapter 367 Her Right-hand Man For her, Mark was nothing more than a subordinate.


    "Yes, I do.


    Mydy"


    Mark nodded, and when he did that, the long red scar on his forehead looked even more horrible, just


    like a twisted centipede.


    Jeanne couldn''t bear such a scar anymore and took a step back subconsciously.


    "Mark, maybe you have to change your haircut to hide the scar on your forehead.


    It looks too scary for me..."


    She said in disgust.


    Something gloomy came and went in Mark''s eyes when he heard what Jeanne had said.


    "I''ll do it as thedy says."


    sucking a great draught of air he said.


    Jeanne was satisfied with his obedience.


    "This is where you live after being released?"


    She gave a nce around the shabby room and said.


    "Yeah, but I''ll be at your service if you want me"


    Mark answered stoutly.


    "Not yet, the only thing you have to do now is to hide your identity."


    Jeanne held that an arrow shot from hiding is difficult to guard against.


    That''s why she pulled out all the stops to free Mark! Then, she took a bank card out of her bag and put


    it on the table.


    "There are one hundred thousand dors in it and the password is my birthday number.


    It is for you.


    Ask me for more if you run out of it."


    "Mark seemed to be not happy with that money.


    "Mydy, there is no need..."


    "Just take it as I say."


    She seemed to run out of her patience.


    Money is necessary if he wanted to run errands for her smooth and she is always generous to her


    right-hand man.


    Noticing Mark''s frowned brows, Jeanne raised her hand and tapped him on his shoulder, saying softly,


    "Mark, you are the only person I put trust in now, I hope you can lead afortable life after you have


    suffered so much in prison, that''s why I give you money.


    Do you understand?"


    Her words worked and Mark''s eyebrows stretched at once.


    He nodded his head and smiled contentedly.


    "I Know what you mean, mydy."


    Jeanne smirked unpleasantly when she saw Mark''s excitement.


    Then she continued, "Lucia was back to Austos with her children, I need you to spy on her now!"


    She had to know what she was up against.


    And this time she would deal with her with extraordinary patience and endurance! She must rid Lucia


    and her bastards once and for all! Meanwhile.


    The ck Maybach was driving across the city and headed for West Bridge silently.


    A quick chirping of a cell phone broke the stillness.


    It was Lucia’s phone.


    On the screen was the name of Lucia''s best friend Pa.


    "Yep, Pa."


    She picked up at once.


    "Lucia, how''s your working day?"


    Pa''s voice came from the other end of the phone clearly.


    "And how about J and Timothy?"


    "How''s it going with your shooting?"


    Thinking of her lovely children sitting next to her, Lucia naturally beamed with happiness.


    "They all do it great! The director invited them to shoot tomorrow."


    She answered tenderly.


    "Great! But where are you now?"


    My treat today! Let''s have beef steak!"


    Lucia jerked her head up and look at August when she heard that.


    She didn''t know how to exin to Pa she was in the car of August.


    She must freak if she knew that.


    "What do you think?"


    Pa asked again minutester.


    "Come on! Let us have no buts,"


    she said firmly.


    "You areing!"


    I have learned from Elijah Reed that you knocked off at 5:30."


    Lucia signed helplessly at her words and finally cut in.


    "Where are you now?"


    "Starlight za, right in the center of the city."


    "OK, send me your location, and we''lle to meet you soon,"


    Lucia replied crisply.


    However, Lucia received August''s steady gaze the very moment that she hung up the phone.


    Their eyes met across the car seat.


    It was August who spoke first.


    "Where are you going?"


    His voice was pretty calm and, even dry.


    Lucia opened and shut her mouth, a few secondster, she looked out at the window and said, "Just


    drop us over there, we have a rendezvous with Pa."


    August subconsciously rxed his eyebrows when he heard the name, Pa.


    Then, he turned away to order Burton to turn the car around and steer to Starlight za.


    "Yes, Mr.Adams."


    Burton Harris answered.


    Lucia was about to meet Pa on foot for it was not far away from the Starlight za now.


    But August didn''t give her a chance to say no and ordered Burton to drive there directly.


    Lucia had only to swallow the words of refusal helplessly.


    He always took no ount of her will.


    Let him be.


    Mom, where are we going now?"


    Timothy looked up at her and asked with his innocent eyes.


    "We will go to meet your aunt Pa!"


    Said Lucia tenderly.


    "Yeah! That''s great! Timothy almost kicked on his heels at the sound of that.


    "Mom, Is Uncle Charming going with us?"


    Tilting her little head, J asked in an adorable manner.


    Lucia stiffened at her naive question.


    She didn''t know how to answer.


    Waiting for no answer from Lucia, J thereupon turned to August and tugged at his sleeve to get his


    attention.


    "Uncle Charming, will youe with us?"


    "I''d like to, but it depends on your mother."


    August looked at her unblinkingly with an expressive smile.

    J looked at Lucia with imploring eyes the instant that August finished his words.


    "Mom, can he go with us?"


    Lucia''s throat felt tight.


    She didn''t expect that August was such a wily man to throw the question back to her! How could a


    mother say no to her dear daughter easily? But she had to be heartless this time.


    She took her eyes off J to nce at August and said through gritted teeth, "Sorry, darling, but we


    didn''t let aunt Pa know ahead of time and it''s aunt Pa''s treat today.


    I don''t think it''s appropriate to invite Uncle Charming to have dinner with aunt Pa together without


    notice in advance.


    Maybe next time! Ok?"


    "Alright!"


    J said, disappointed obviously.


    Time passed quickly during their conversation and the car pulled over slowly.


    Lucia got off first and then she carried down J and Timothy.


    That done, she looked up and spoke, "Thank you for..."


    Before she could finish her words of thanks, a cry of pure delight interrupted her, "Lucia!"


    Pa threw herself at Lucia like the wind and held her hand tightly.


    When she had a firm footing and took a close look at the people sitting in the car, her jaw sagged at


    once.


    August gave her an indifferent look and turned to Lucia, "Never mind, just ensure the performance in


    filming tomorrow."


    Lucia curled the corner of her mouth up in a response to him.


    As she was about to walk away with Pa hand in hand, she pped eyes on Burton, who was looking


    back and watching them steadily.


    But his eyes were fixed on Pa past Lucia.


    There were mixed looks in their eyes, which was beyond Lucia''s description.


    A few momentster, Pa took her eyes off Burton and wore a grim face.


    "Let''s go."


    Then she left without a backward look.


    A hint of embarrassment filled the air, Lucia could only pretend nothing had happened and keep up her


    pace with J and Timothy after she had closed the car door quickly.


    "Mom, What''s wrong with aunt Pa?"


    Who displeased her?"


    Lucia didn''t know how to answer their questions indeed.


    But she was worrying for Pa actually since she was also thinking about the same questions with


    J and Timothy in her mind.


    Could it be that Pa still had a crush on Burton?
