Chapter 057

Within ten minutes, there was a knock at the door, followed by Burton pushing the door in, “Mr. Adams, Irene is here.” August nodded slightly, “You go out.” “Yes.” Burton turned around walked out of the room, and closed the door by the way. Irene stood in the doorway, inexplicably feeling guilty, “Mr. Adams, what’s the matter?” “Come here.” August didn’t look up, sitting on the couch and casually flipping through the magazine on his lap. Seeing this situation, Irene was in a cold sweat on her back. She clasped her hands together and moved forward slowly. After the last lesson, she truly realized the horror of this man. He seemed to be calm on the surface, but he could crush a human with ease. August looked up. Seeing her slow movements and stiff expression, he smiled crookedly and asked, ”Did the mango taste

good last time?”

As soon as she heard about mangoes, Irene couldn’t help but feel sour in her stomach. She forced herself to hold back her discomfort and took a deep breath, “Yes... delicious.” It was so good that she never wanted to eat another mango in her life! “Well, that’s fine.” August paused and whispered, “Where were you last night around 8:30?” “Hate in the private room with the others.”

“Did you go out?” “I went to the bathroom twice.” August glanced at her and continued, “Did you know that Lucia fell into the pool yesterday?” When she heard the word “Lucia”, Irene’s face went pale, “I know.. Mr. Adams, don’t you think that I did it?” August raised an eyebrow, “It wasn’t you?” “Yes!” Irene said with certainty and hastily added, “Yesterday I was in the private room drinking with other colleagues. And I went to the bathroom with Mary. You can ask her if you don’t believe me! I don’t even know where Lucia went!”

Hearing her explain so much at once, August didn’t panic and then asked, ”Okay, so did you do anything to Lucia in the

restaurant bathroom at noon yesterday?” Irene opened her eyes wide and was speechless, “.” At the time she saw Lucia, she did get angry and splashed her with water. August became a little more serious, “Go ahead.” Irene hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean to do it. I just accidentally threw the water on her!” “What about yesterday morning? You did nothing with the water for the ice bucket punishment?” Yesterday morning while doing the game, Lucia and he lost and drew the punishment of the ice bucket challenge. It was

then that he saw Irene hovering next to the ice bucket. Later he took respon­sibility for both buckets of water being poured on him, and he clearly felt that one bucket of water was much colder than the other. That bucket of water had been added with more ice. Upon hearing this, Irene suddenly turned pale, ”Mr- Mr. Adams, I just taught her a small lesson. Last time I was punished because of her and was hospitalized for several days. I feel so bad. This time, I see that she even implicates you, so I just.

The first time he suspected her was when he saw her hovering by the bucket. The second time he suspected her was when he saw Lucia with water on her face and saw Irene coming out of the bathroom. Both of

to do without me telling you.” Irene said in a rush, ’Yes! I won’t hurt her anymore!” When she left and Burton came in, August asked, “Was she here all last night?” Burton nodded, “Yes. I asked several people. They all said Irene was here the whole night and she went to the bathroom with someone else, too.” August casually put the magazine aside, “Okay, I get it.” It seemed to be more complicated than he imagined Meanwhile, in the Lakeside Manor superior suite on the same floor, a man was sitting in front
