Chapter 452 They Turn Against Each Other

August looked like he was smiling yet not smiling, "Suspect? No."

"I'm just trying to figure out a few things and need you to give me a copy of the surveillance in the bar that day."

With that, he took out a silver USB drive and put it on the desktop.

At once, with Joshua's face somber, he frowned, "August, what do you mean? Do you think it was me who kidnapped her?"

Looking up, August looked straight at him and said seriously, "I told you I just want to figure something out."

Joshua frowned and met his dark eyes, with the emotions under his eyes changing rapidly and obscurely.

After a moment, Joshua moved his lips and asked, "What do you want to prove?"

With his expression unchanged, August said word by word, "Prove that the person who kidnapped Lucia that day was not you."

Joshua's reaction just now had already made him inadvertently confirm certain suspicions in his heart.

As soon as August finished speaking, Joshua's face turned a little somber, "August, you have been blinded by that woman!"

August interrupted him and increased his voice tone, "Joshua, you should not hide anything from me."

Joshua was usually big-hearted, but as long as he had promised something, he would definitely have it done.

August asked Joshua to send someone to protect Lucia, but Lucia was still kidnapped, and his excuse was that he gave his men a vacation that day, but Joshua would not make such a low-level mistake! In addition to that, the card with different material from the previous ones was enough to prove that the person who kidnapped Lucia this time was not Mr.Denko, but another group of people.

Finally, he had someone go through the whereabouts of Joshua and his men that day, all with perfect alibis.

Behaving too perfectly was exactly what was most suspicious.

Now, he asked Joshua for surveillance in the bar that day, but Joshua refused to cooperate at all, which was finally confirming his suspicions.

The two men confronted by looking at each other, and after a few moments, August averted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "If I'm right, this was what you had planned all along.You deliberately came to the bar that morning to let yourself be caught by the surveillance outside, then left through the side door in the bar, and later rushed back to go out of the bar to let the surveillance catch you again."

With that, August stood up, swept around, and eventually made his way to the fresco at the far end of the wine cellar.He raised his hand and knocked the wall, ringing apparently empty.

With a fumble, he finally found an extremely inconspicuous raised button on the side.

As soon as he pressed, the wall made a sound of "ding" and a secret door opened, leading to the other side of the bar.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly that there was indeed a secret door in the bar that could lead to the outside.

Before Joshua came over, he had already thought over the construction of the bar and finally guessed that this secret door must be in this wine cellar.He slowly turned around and looked up at Joshua.

Joshua scowled slightly, and after a moment's pause, he said coldly, "Since you have guessed it, why are you asking me for surveillance."

August frowned and looked at Joshua with a somewhat stern gaze, "Why did you do that?"

At that, Joshua stood up and said in a cold voice, "Because I don't want to watch her ruin you! If it wasn't for her, how would Flynt let you leave the organization in the first place? For five years, you have done so many wrong things for her."

"That's my business!"

August took a step towards him, with an icy aura emanating from him, "Joshua, I've always treated you like my friend, as the person I trust the most!"

He never hide anything from Joshua, but unexpectedly he would do such a thing! Joshua frowned and said in a loud voice, "I also treat you as my friend! So, I can't just watch you trapped, and I can’t watch that woman hurt you!"

August was furious and a cold light burst out from under his eyes.He reached out and grabbed Joshua's collar, "So you kidnapped her and drugged her, right?"

Joshua stretched out his hand, clutching August's wrist, and said coldly, "She deserved it!"

When he heard that, a cold light flashed under August’s eyes.

He frowned, feeling depressed, "Joshua, if the organization knows these things, you can hardly protect yourself."

Joshua sneered, with a cold glint in his eyes, "So, you're going to tell on me?"

August looked up and stared at him.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, and finally, with a moment of complex emotions passing under his eyes, he let go of Joshua's collar and said coldly, "Your business has nothing to do with me from now on!"

After saying this, he took a step and walked out of the wine cellar, leaving Joshua alone.

The door closed with a bang, and Joshua stood still for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud.He never thought that he and August would have this day to turn against each other.He did it for August's sake, but he didn’t appreciate it at all! Forgot it.

From now on, whether August was dead or alive had nothing to do with him! August got into the car after coming out of the bar, with a somber face that was a little scary.

Seeing this, Burton hurriedly opened his mouth to ask, "President Adams, did you ask clearly?"

With a somber face, August did not reply, just coldly saying one word, "Go."

Burton froze slightly.

Seeing August going to be angry, he had the sense to keep his mouth shut and drive quietly.

Sitting in the car, August couldn't help but have a headache when he thought about what just happened.

He did not expect that the person who impersonated Mr.Denko to kidnap Lucia was no other than his good friend whom he had trusted for so many years.

Although he had suspected him from the beginning, when the truth came out now, he was still a bit unable to accept it.He raised his hand and pressed his swollen temples.Just then, his cell phone rang.He picked up the phone and saw that it was Jeanne calling.

At once, his eyebrows wrinkled and he directly turned the phone into silent mode and tossed it aside.

After doing this, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.

Soon, the phone hung up, and not long after, the screen lit up silently, flashing continuously.

Meanwhile, Jeanne on the other end of the phone was getting desperate.

She called again and again, but there was no answer from August.

A maid waited for her for a long time and finally couldn't help but say, "Mrs.Adams, go inside, and Olivia is still waiting for you." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

At the sound of her voice, Jeanne forced out a smile.

She clicked on WhatsApp and sent a message to August, "August, Grandma suddenly asked me to go to the old house today and I thought you were coming back too, but I didn’t think she wanted to see me alone.I’m a little worried..."

After sending this message, she sent several more exclamation marks in a row.

In the Adans family, she was not afraid of Eliot and Christina, but only of Olivia, enc she didn't expect that Olivia would ask har to come to the old house alone this time’ Jeanne felt anxious, but under he

gaze of the haid, she could not show it, so she could only force a smile, ge: up from the couch, and follow her up to the second floor.

Olivia's bedroom on he second floor of the alc house was next to a Buddhist room dedicated to her, anc now Olivia was burning incense and worshiping the Buddha in it.

Walking tc the door, the maid knocked, pushed it open, a1d said, "Clivia, Mrs.Adams is 1ere."

Inside the Buddha Room, covered in clouds of smoke, Olivia knelt on a fusion with her back to the door.

Instead of turning around, she simply spoke, "Let her in and close the door"
