Will I let you go easily? Hearing someone call him, Paul took a puff of a cigarette, put out the cigarette, and turned his head.
"Gin, from today onwards, you will stay with Lucia, Timothy, and Janet.
No matter what happens, make sure they're safe." After hearing his instructions, Gin nodded calmly and replied, "Yes, Sir."
The next second, Pauls's extremely cold voice echoed again, “Furthermore, | want you to investigate what happened today!" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"Yes, sir." After Gin left, Paul stood in front of the wall window, changing his usual warm demeanor into a deep and unfathomable one as his eyes showed nothing but coldness.
Someone dared to harm the one he cared for the most.
It was as if they poke a knife in his softest spot.
He had endured it over and over again; he won't let it happen again.
Last time, Lucia was kidnapped on his birthday; August said that he would investigate.
Paul waited for many days but got no reply.
This time, he could not bear it any longer.
Once he finds out the truth, no matter who the culprit was, he would show no mercy! On a rocky beach near the sea in the suburbs of Austos, a car parked with its door wide open.
Not far from it, Jeanne was bending over and vomiting.
Jeanne couldn't help but vomit as soon as she got out of the car.
Her stomach turned upside down while she was running away from the museum earlier.
At this moment, the driver's door was pushed open, and Mark stepped down.
He took out his handkerchief and handed it to Jeanne before he sincerely uttered, "Miss, I've wronged you." Jeanne heard him.
She raised her hand and waved his hand away as she said angrily, "Go away!" After bumping into Paula at the entrance of the museum, she drove wildly to escape.
She wanted to go home but was stopped by Mark.
He forced her into the backseat of the car and drove them to that shitty place.
If it weren't for the fact that she was vomiting and feeling uncomfortable, she would have scolded him a long time ago.
Mark was not angered by her action.
He put the handkerchief on the stone beside her, and said without haste, "Miss, do you want to drive this car back to Kelly's house? You hit Paul's sister.
Do you think he will let you go easily?" Jeanne, who was patting her chest for comfort, turned pale when she heard this.
Mark added in a deep voice, "If you drive this car back to Kelly's house, you'll be risking yourself.
With Paul's ability, he can trace you through the Austos's surveillance today.
Think about it.” What he said made Jeanne's face tense.
She was speechless.
After a while, she looked up at Mark, "That's why you brought me here?" Mark nodded slightly.
"Well, the only thing you did right is that you didn't drive your car.
In this way, all you need to do is discard the car.
Even if they find the owner of it using the license number on the plate, they won't find you.” Jeanne got anxious and asked, "What about the surveillance video along the way?" Mark replied softly, "Don't worry about that.
Let me handle it." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the car.
"Now, we need to clean the car.
Your fingerprints, hair, and everything that can be forensic must be removed." Jeanne was overjoyed and asked again, "Will | be safe then?" Hitting someone with a car was not in her plan at all.
What happened earlier was caused only by her impulsiveness and overwhelm.
Paula's condition was still unknown.
If the situation was serious, Paul would pursue this case till the end.
Now that she calmed down, she realized how stupid she acted! Mark shook his head.
"It's not that simple." In an instant, Jeanne’s heart clenched.
She reached out her hand subconsciously, took his hand, and said helplessly, "Mark, what should | do? | don't want to go to jail!" Five years ago, Mark took the blame for her and went to jail.
Five years later, she made an impulsive mistake again.
What should she do this time? If she got caught, Paul would sue her! Mark frowned.
"Miss, | told you a long time ago that you should not be too impulsive." Jeanne got up, grabbed Mark's arm, and promised, "I won't be impulsive anymore.
From now on, | will obey you.
Mark! You have to help me! Please!" After Mark heard her words, he remained silent for a long time.
The more he kept, the more frightened Jeanne became.
In the end, she burst out into tears.
"Mark, you are the only one | got now...” After a while, Mark finally let go.
"Miss, | will help you.
But from now on, you must listen to me." How many times did he have to go astray and pay for the consequences caused by Jeanne’s impulsiveness? He could remember every single part of it.
Jeanne nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you!" Mark nodded when he heard this, and turned to look at the car.
"I'm going to clean the car.
Wait for me, after it's done, let's leave." The first thing he must do was to solve the problem at hand before they would talk about the rest later.
In the central hospital, Paul pushed all his work aside and stayed by Paula's side.
Paula had been transferred to the intensive care unit with an oxygen mask on her face while surrounded by cold machines.
Through the transparent glass, Paul looked at the pale body of her sister that was lying on the bed and felt devastated.
He didn't tell his parents about this.
He wasn’t even able to protect his sister well; he couldn't face them.
"Good night." Lucia walked out of the wardroom and looked at Paul's back.
A feeling of sadness rushed into her heart.
Paul turned around, looked at her, and asked, "Huh? Are Timothy and Janet okay?” "| coaxed them to sleep."
Lucia's face flashed with a trace of exhaustion as she said softly, “Paul, | have something to tell you." Hearing this, he turned to look at her.
"What's the matter?" Lucia took a deep breath, clenched her fist unknowingly, and stated, “What happened this time was not an accident."
Paul frowned, stunned for a moment, and asked, "How did you know?" Originally, afraid that Lucia would be shocked, he deliberately asked Gin to keep his mouth shut.
Unexpectedly, Lucia knew about it.
Lucia clenched her cold hands, took a deep breath, and said, "Timothy told me that two men wanted to take them, but then Gin rushed over to help them.
However, a car came and hit them.
Come one! How could all of that be a mere coincidence?” Paul lowered his eyes and remained silent.
From the very beginning, he knew that this was not a coincidence, so he sent Gin to investigate.
But there weren't any results yet.
Lucia gritted her teeth as she spoke with her hand on her chest.
"Paul, Timothy also said that the person he saw driving the car was a woman with long hair." After Paul heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He looked up at her and asked, "A woman?" Lucia nodded firmly.
"Yes, Timothy said he saw it." In an instant, the two of them fell into silence.
Neither of them dares to speak.
Finally, Lucia plucked up her courage and asked, "Tell me, could it be Jeanne?" Jeanne was the only woman in Austos who hated them!
