    Chapter 425 Make A Trip Herself


    He is much more than humanepared to Bishop.


    How could the pot call the kettle ck? "Do you have any idea how many funds of Lion Group he had


    embezzled for these years? Do you ever know how many spies and undercover agents he had nted


    around me? "And, do you know that the son of Joaquin Downs was abducted by the man of Bishop


    Adams? His life was hanging by a hair now!"


    Lucia''s heart jolted when she heard August''s grave words.She even shaked all over unconsciously.


    August''s eyes were heavy with exhaustion and disappointment, and suddenly he let go of Lucia’s hand.


    As for Lucia, She lost her footing with her mind nk.


    She couldn''t understand the feud over money and power in the high society so she couldn''t make head


    or tail of what he was experiencing or what he was doing.


    All she knows is that this man has a heart of stone.


    The only she wants is to escape from all these.


    Lucia took a few steps back with a gasp of horror.


    She couldn''t bear any sight of August at all and then she fled.


    The door mmed behind her.


    With the hard m, August''s heart sank as well.


    He finally frightened Lucia away with his ruthlessness.


    August smiled bitterly at himself.


    He didn''t mean to do that, but he didn''t have any other choice but to do that.


    Lucia didn''t know that Joaquin Downs’s son had be the target of Bishop long since Bishop had


    set up his mind to bring Joaquin Downs into control.


    Bishop seized Joaquin Downs''s son in the case of Joaquin Downs''s defection the moment that he


    commanded his men to do the liquidation.


    But he rescued Joaquin Downs''s son from Bishop and just was trying to trap him into making some


    confession.


    He had no thought of hurting Joaquin Downs''s son from beginning to end.


    Unexpectedly, Lucia still took his n the wrong way.


    A fit of grievance caught August off guard.


    He frowned tightly with a serious headache.


    At this very moment, Burton pushed the door open and came in.


    "President Adams, the receptionist of the President''s Office received several calls from media in


    Austos.


    They were inquiring about the ounts check of the branch.


    Hearing this, August wrinkled his brows and looked more serious.


    He didn''t expect Bishop to have taken a strike so fast.


    Bishop must have spread the news in his desperation, which meant that he was ready to risk


    everything.


    Since August couldn''t tolerate him anymore, he might as well expose the scandal and simply get the


    entire Lion Group into this.


    By then, Lion would be greatly damaged after the storm of gossip.


    It was a typical reckless attack.


    He is ruthless.


    August frowned and ordered, "Make an announcement before all the rumors and suspicione


    out.Tell the public why we checked the ount of the branch and the final result.Make Joaquin Downs


    the scapegoat.Joaquin Downs had damaged the interests of Lion for so many years under the


    command of Bishop.


    Before they put Joaquin Downs in jail, he might as well Joaquin Downs the tip of the storm and make


    the best use of his final value.


    He wanted to protect the interests of Lion Group.


    It was his bottom line as well as his duty as the president.


    However, no one involved in the war between him and Bishop could remain intact.


    If the damage was doomed to be inflicted on him, he could only fight Bishop to the end.


    For the next three days, various remarks about Lion Group stormed the inte.


    Lion Group first made an announcement and exined the cause and result of the audit.


    Then, Joaquin Downs was the scapegoat that suffered all the me and disdain of Austos citizens.


    After that, Lion Group made the second announcement, iming that Lion was conducting an in-depth


    investigation as it was necessary for them to catch whoever was behind Joaquin Downs.


    Also, Lion would audit the ounts of other branches.


    After a series of actions, Lion received no criticism fromizens and its actions even received highly


    favorable reviews.


    However, no one knew to which way the tide of gossip would turn.


    In the meantime, Lucia was in a forest with the film crew collecting good subjects to shoot.


    In the promise of efficiency, the team of eight consisted of Director Brook, Lucia, two other leading


    actors, and four of the most capable workers of different departments of the crew.


    They traveled light and arrived at the Gransend Mountains in the northwest of Austos City.


    Instead of taking the sightseeing route, they took to the hill through an unknown way in order to find the


    best scenes for the shooting of the public service advertisement.


    After they pitched camp halfway up the peak where they took a few test shots and found the scene was


    fit for shooting, the director suggested taking a rest on site.


    Then, Lucia sat down and checked her phone.


    She had a bad connection hence she couldn''t view the headlines about Lion Group though she tried to


    refresh the webpage again and again.


    Finally, Lucia gave up on the poor Inte connection.


    She stood up and dusted herself down to watch the footage.


    After watching it twice, Lucia was still not satisfied with the footage.


    Plucking up the courage, she walked toward Director Brook and said, "Director, it''s not the ideal of a


    perfect shot for our shooting this time, the location is not spectacr enough.So, can we just change


    the location and film it again?"


    Director Brook went to watch the footage and said in the end, "Alright, we shall find another location to


    shoot again, but it''s going to rainter, we''d better move fast."


    "Great."


    They would shoot for three days ording to the schedule.


    The task was very difficult seriously; besides, time-pressed.


    They had to make their way to the mountain every day and back to the hotel for rest after shooting.


    They were working on a tight schedule.


    By afternoon, they found a new location but it was just not working to their expectation either.


    Lucia then suggested a worker fly the drone to scout the area for the best scene.


    Lucia stared fixedly at the video from the drone, and suddenly, her eyes were captured by a scene in


    the video.


    There were a wooden bridge, a cid stream, and tall trees epassed by a grand natural meadow.


    So tranquil and so picturesque.


    Lucia hastened to ask Vi to locate the scene.


    However, Vi shook his head helplessly and said, "That ce may be far away from us."


    "How far?"


    Lucia didn''t want to give it up easily for this was the most suitable shooting location for the public


    advertisement.She must have known the location today in order that they can film there tomorrow, to


    say the least.


    Vi looked at his watch.


    "Even though we got there today, we have no time for shooting cuz there is only an hour and a half left


    for us today before the time we have to go back to the hotel."


    Lucia’s eyebrows tightly twitched when she heard what he said.She was hesitating.She was always


    meticulous in working and wanted to do her best every time.


    But now, they had a problem.


    Thinking for a while, Lucia seemed to make up her mind.


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    She cast a nce at Director Brook, who wasmunicating with an actor, then said to Vi again,


    "How about we send someone to scout out the lie of thend today and shoot there tomorrow?"


    Vi shook his head by way of an answer to him.


    "But we just have a minimum number of staff now."


    Lucia bit her lips silently.


    It seemed that she can only make a trip there herself.
