Chapter 451


    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, Lucia had already taken a step and left in a big stride.


    As he watched the woman walk away resolutely, aplex 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 thearium


    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, J swept through his mind, he was silent and did not speak.


    Timothy and J were Lucia and Paul''s children, but why would Grandma say they looked like him?


    Moreover, it was he who took J''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 thepany 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 apanied Olivia for a few moments of small talk before she was coaxed into


    trying on clothes.


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


    In the afternoon of that day, a media tform sent out news that August apanied 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 inte was immediately filled with positive


    comments about August, and with Oliviaing back, even some shareholders who were against him


    in thepany didn’t say anything.


    August took the opportunity to sign a big project with a foreignpany, and suddenly, thepany’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 exin, while August was also calm and did not mention a


    word about the oue 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.From N?velDrama.Org.


    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


    hourster.


    This was checked by the surveince cameras outside the bar.


    If this was the case, Joshua had spent almost the entire day in his bar, so he had no time tomit 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 yed with a ck pen in his hand, and his mind raced through all the


    suspicions.


    After a few moments of thought, he looked up at Burton, "The surveince outside the bar cannot


    exin much.


    Can we get the surveince 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 wererades 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 surveince 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 ce."


    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 cer.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 someughter came, "August."


    "Why are you thinking ofing to my ce in the daytime?"


    Seemingly in a good mood, Joshua casually picked out a bottle of red wine of good vintage from the


    wine cab 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, andzily crossed his legs, "What is it?


    Why are you so serious?"


    Without beating around the bush, August asked directly
