Chapter 413 "Kidnapping" Her
August clenched his fists, and blue veins stood out on his arms, which looked frightening.He knew Mr.Denko very well.
Mr.Denko wouldn't hesitate to hurt the innocent as long as he could achieve his goal.He believed that Mr.Denko was targeting Lucia because of him.
Just then, the phone in his hand vibrated again and a new message popped up.
"Do you think the drowning of a five-year-old in a pool will make headlines in Austos City?"
August's eyes instantly widened.He clenched his fists so hard that his bones clattered.
‘Bastard!’ He picked up his suit jacket and strode out of the office.
Mr.Denko did have the guts to do that.
If he really did something, the consequences would be irretrievable.
August bumped into Burton as soon as he went outside.
"Sir, Ned..."
Before Burton could finish, he noticed August's gloomy face.He immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Instead of answering, August clicked on the sender.
It was a processed string of numbers.He dialed it, but all he heard was two strange noises and then it hung up on its own.He tossed the phone to Burton with a frown.
"Find this swimming pool and get the car ready."
"Yes, sir."
Burton immediately took the phone, but he was surprised when he saw the photo.
"It's Braden Swimming Pool downtown."
August was surprised.
"You know it?"
Burton blinked for a moment awkwardly and replied, "I've been there before."
A few days before, he had run into Paula, followed her there, and seen her pick up Timothy and Janet.
August didn't care what Burton was thinking.
He just wanted to get to the swimming pool as soon as possible and make sure Lucia, Timothy, and Janet were safe! On the way, he called Lucia several times, but she didn't answer.He was getting anxious.
If something really happened to the three of them, he would never let Mr.Denko go! Meanwhile, in the swimming pool, Lucia's phone was flickering and vibrating in her bag on a chair in the lounge area, but it was completely covered up by the sound of laughter.
Lucia and the two children were exhausted when the water relay race ended.
The instructor called an intermission and they painted on the edge of the pool.
"Mom, I want some juice."
Janet sat on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water and looked at Lucia with wide eyes.
Before Lucia could reply, Timothy said, "Watermelon juice!"
There was a shop next to the pool selling various drinks.
Some parents were already there with their children.
"I'll go get it."
Paul put a towel over Lucia, patted her shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "Stay with them.I'll be right back."
Lucia smiled at him.
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
As soon as Paul left, Timothy said, "Mom, I want ice cream too."
"It's too cold.You'll get your juice soon."
Lucia was so focused on the two children that she didn't notice the tall, familiar man at the door.
August scanned the swimming pool.
Soon he saw the three of them and walked quickly toward them.He was wearing a suit, which was a stark contrast to the people in swimsuits here. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Everyone stared at him in confusion.
August ignored them and walked to the pool with a frown.He was relieved when he made sure Lucia, Timothy, and Janet were all safe.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Burton and whispered, "Take care of the children."
Burton nodded seriously and walked forward with him.
As August slowly approached, the people next to him couldn't help but whisper.
Lucia heard the noise and turned her head subconsciously.She thought she was hallucinating the moment she saw August.She quickly turned her head, tapped her cheek, and turned back in disbelief.
The "hallucination"
was not gone but closer to her! As Lucia took a deep breath, August suddenly took off his suit jacket and put it directly over her back.
The next second, he whispered in her ear, "Come with me."
"What?"
Lucia was picked up by August directly before she knew it.
Timothy and Janet were dumbfounded.
Burton walked up to them and picked them up.
Everyone was stunned.
No one had expected the man to "kidnap" someone so boldly! The instructor tried to stop August, but he hesitated and let them go because August looked so powerful.
"What are you doing?"
Lucia shouted with a grim face.She noticed that everyone was looking at her and said in a low voice, "August, what do you want?"
She had no idea why he had burst in and carried her out with everyone watching!
"Shut up if you don't want anything to happen to you." August frowned.
"It's dangerous here!"
Startled by August's serious face, Lucia tensed up and didn't say anything.
Soon August put Lucia into the car and ordered the driver to drive.
"Where are Timothy and Janet?"
Lucia suddenly looked out, only to see Burton putting the children into the car behind them.She had a bad feeling.She looked at August with wide eyes and asked him, "What are you going to do to them? Let me out!"
She pushed the door, but it was locked and didn't move at all.
"Do you want them to go out in their swimsuits? I've got clothes for them in that car."
August frowned.
"This car doesn't have room for so many people."
August didn't look like he was lying.
Lucia calmed down, but she was still burning up inside.
Annoyed, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Why did you suddenly take us away?"
"It's not safe there," August replied.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said coldly, "Don't take Timothy and Janet there again."
After a moment of silence, Lucia thought of something and sneered.
"Is that so?"
She took a deep breath, looked up into August's eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you think I'll believe that?"
How could she possibly believe such a ridiculous excuse?
