Chapter 005

Lucia's mood was lifted. Burton continued, 'Madam, Boss is angry because he is afraid that you will suffer. He is

extremely protective."

"Really?" Hearing this explanation, Lucia was dubious but turned much happier. Unexpectedly, August just looked cold and yet was warm inside.

Seeing Lucia's smile, Burton panicked. He had said too much, and his boss would skin him if he found out. But

for the sake of their harmony, it was worth it.

In the Wright's living room, as soon as they got home, Carol angrily smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and then she pointed at Archibald, who was kneeling on the ground, and roared, "Archibald Smith, - what did you mean? You are helping outsiders deal with me, aren't you?"

"Darling, I didn't help her, you are the woman I love the most, and my heart belongs to you," Archibald explained

to Carol.

Then why don't you hit that bitch? Why are you so afraid of August Adams? He's just a president of a company." Carol asked hysterically. She had never been wronged since she grew up.

commercial territory of the city."

Smith only owned a construction company. How dare it compete with Mitchell's business empire? Wasn't this like hitting the stone with an egg?

However, Carol had been pampered since childhood. She could easily get whatever she wanted. She had never been bullied as badly as she was today. She despised Archibald for being so timid. As soon as Archibald spoke,

she slapped him in the face. "Trash! Get out! I don't want to see you."
