bit hot lip to clear her head and then noticed that in addition to the dead cal. there was n familiar

card She Ignored the words on it and stiffened wfien she noticed the spider web symbol tn the

bottom right corner

It was that symbol again’ Who was IP

Lucib averted her eyes, look a deep breath, closed the trunk, and staggered back With fear in het

heart, she even felt the rain hit her heart and chilled her to the bone Suddenly, she remembered

what had happened in the swimming pool a few days ago August had taken them away seriously

and said it was noi safe She hadn't believed him, but these strange things had shaken her

Was she really being targeted by some terrorist group” If it was true, Timothy. Janet. Bill", and Elisa

were all in danger*

With this in mind, Lucia took out her phone nervously and made a call with trembling hands Al this

moment, she could only ask August for help!

Soon it went through When she heard August s low, firm voice on the other end of the line, Lucia

said in a constricted voice, “August

She had a lot to say. but she didnt know how to say it

August realised that something was wrong He immediately asked. “What's wrong”

Lucia bit her lip “Can you come over here

Before she could finish. August interrupted her. “Give me your address *

In less than half an hour, a black car stopped in front of Lucias car

August quickly got out of the car He looked around with sharp eyes and soon saw Lucia hiding

under a tree

It was drizzling Lucias we: hair was plastered to her cheeks, and she looked so pitiful with her body

curled up in a tight little ball Augusts heart jolted He frowned slightly and strode toward her despite

the ram. He leaned down, wiped the ram off her face, and asked

in a low voice. "What happened”

Instantly, his words dispelied the sadness, tiredness, and fear in Lucias heart She looked up and

subconsciously lugged at his shirt “The

trunk..*

August immediately went to the trunk When he opened it and saw the dead cat, his face instantly

darkened He glanced at the card with a

frown on his grim face He picked up the card, which was stained with the cat s blood, nnd saw the

words on it

“Ms Mitchell, since you don't like flowers, let s make it interesting * There was also a spider web

symbol in the lower right comer

August clenched his fist, his bones clattering He immediately crumpled the card into a ball and

threw it away

Suddenly, Lucia asked in a shaky voice behind him, “Am I being targeted”

August took a deep breath, turned to look at tier, and said firmly, “Don't woiry lil keep you safe”

Sull scared, Lucia took a deep breath “Do you know something” She could tell by his reaction and

tono of voice that he knew

something

August looked at her firmly “If I tell you. you Il be in more danger, so just trust me and don't ask

anything '

Lucia was relieved by his words She took a deep breath, looked up into his dark eyes, and nodded

to him I trust you’

August nodded slightly, took an umbrella from Burton, held it ovei her head, and ordered, “Have the

driver take her car to the cat wash *

Burton immediately went to inform the driver

August lowered his head to look al Uicta's pale face He fell bad for her and said in a soft

voice, “Where are you going” Ill lake you there*

Lucib suddenly remembered that Paula was still wailing for her She quickly look out her phone and

saw several missed calls She looked up and asked August, “Can you take mu to Ernie Plaza?"

"Hmm.*

Relieved, Lucib walked to her car, took out the dress she had prepared for Paulo, and goi into

August's car On the way to Ernie Plaza, she kept staring blankly except for when she sent a message

to Paulo She couldnt gel the bloody image out of her head

August knew she was frustrated He asked, “Who are you going to see ui Ernie Plaza? Poul?"

Lucia replied in a soft voice, “Paulo * /

Before she could say anything. August knew what she was thinking He raised an eyebrow and said flatly, If

Lucia was speechless She ignored him and just got out of the car

Soon Burton approached her with an umbrella and handed her another one

Lucia took it and thanked him She noticed that Burton looked like he wanted to say something, so she

asked, "Anything else®*

Burton hesitated for a moment and said, *1 want to talk to you about Paula *

When Burton mentioned Paula. Lucia had mixed feelings In fact, she had wanted to talk to Burton for a

long time, but she had been very busy Now that Paula was about to go on tour, she had to talk to Burton as soon as possible She asked seriously, "What do you want to t
