Chapter 270 She Also Has Responsibilities

When the next whip fell, Eliot said coldly, "Count it yourself!

There are ten whips in total!"

"Hey!" The ground slammed down again with a whip!

August's brows furrowed, and his voice seemed to be squeezed from between his tightly clenched

teeth, "Four!" "Five!"

Lucia stood there, looking at the back covered with long scars, her hands were extremely cold, the

red blood had stained the man's entire back, and the blood was terrifyingly blurred.

Grandma couldn't stand it any longer and stood up tremblingly ," Eliot! Are you really going to beat

my grandson to death!"

Blue veins burst on Eliot's forehead, "There are national laws and family rules, he is not only your

grandson, but also my son!" He said, raised his hand again, and slammed it down!

"seven!"

Wm “Eight!”

Grandma stood up abruptly and reached out to block," Eliot, don't fight anymore!"

A further blow would really cost August half of his life. At this moment, the man's forehead was

covered with sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.

Eliot refused to step back, and said solemnly, "The plan leaked, the company's stock fell, and ten

whips are not enough!" After speaking, he turned back and ordered," Joey , come and pull the old

lady away!" After hitting, he must hit enough, otherwise, where will the Adams family's family law be

placed!

The moment he raised his hand again, Lucia, who was

beside him, suddenly gritted his teeth and rushed up to block August. The whip of "Hey!" slapped

her back directly.

Lucia groaned, a small face completely wrinkled.

At that moment, she only felt as if something tugged at her flesh and tore it violently. The moment

the flesh and blood

09 was exposed to the air, pain swept over her. It was really painful, the pain was almost unbearable.

Everyone was shocked, obviously they didn’t expect someone to rush up suddenly, and when they

saw clearly that it was Lucia, the look of surprise in their eyes grew stronger.

Grandma cried," Lucia, how did you..."

August also didn't expect Lucia to rush over to block the whip for him, and his face changed

suddenly, "Get out of the way!"

Lucia gasped, gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to be punished, you should punish me along

with it.”

Eliot's face was ashen, the back of his hand holding the handle of the whip turned white, and he

said coldly, "What are you! Why do you interfere in our family's affairs!"

Lucia endured the pain, gritted her teeth and said, "I had a certificate with Mr. Adams before.

Although I am divorced now, I am still half of the Adams family, and I am also responsible for the

leak of the plan..."

August's expression suddenly changed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lucia 's face was pale, and she did not respond to August.

She looked at Eliot with stubborn black eyes and said word by word, "Uncle, I am Mr. Adams *

secretary now, and the plan was handed over to the Flying Group's, during this period, there is also

the possibility of leakage, so I am also at fault.”

For a while, the air was quiet for a while.

Lucia gritted her teeth and continued, "Also, regarding the scandal, I can prove that Mr. Adams and

Miss Adeline are just business contacts, and there is no improper relationship.”

August's eyes were complicated, and he was speechless for a while.

"Get a certificate?" Eliot squinted his eyes, his face ugly, "Don't fool me!"

By now, the atmosphere has entered the white-hot stage, and grandma has red eyes on the side,"

Eliot, Lucia is right,

they did get the certificate, but later..."

Seeing Eliot frown, Bishop echoed, "Dad, what she said is true.”

This time, it was Eliot and Christina's turn to be dumbfounded.

Joey glanced at the pale-faced August, stepped forward, and said softly, "Master, this is the end of

the matter, it's just the last blow." It's not good for anyone to stay in a stalemate.

Eliot's eyes narrowed a little, glanced at Lucia, and said coldly, "Since you are willing to take

punishment for him, I will fulfill you!"

With that, he raised the whip and slapped Lucia's back hard.

"Crack!" Lucia's body shook violently, trembling all over.

This was beyond the pain range she could bear.

Fortunately, the ten whips of family law have ended.

Eliot handed the whip to Joey, turned to August, and said coldly, "I hope this time, I can give you a

memory!"

and hurriedly instructed the servant, "Call the family doctor and have him come over immediately!”

for the large wounds on August's back now, no one can't help but feel terrified. Although Lucia

only received two whips, her shirt has been torn, revealing the wound on her back.

Grandma immediately ordered the maid to come over, put clothes on Lucia and cover her body,

"Take Lucia to the guest room upstairs!"

Eliot returned to the room with a gloomy expression on his hands, Christina gave a few words, and

then left, the rest of

the servants hurriedly helped August and Lucia into the room.

There was chaos in the hall of the old house on this side, while outside the spacious and bright

hotel box on the other side, there were also people worried and anxious.

Jeanne has been wandering in the corridor for half an hour without seeing August. She can't wait to

call him

immediately and ask him why he didn't come, but when she thinks that this is an "accidental

encounter” of her own making, this is really inappropriate , had to press the impulse.

" Jean Martin couldn't wait any longer. He came out of the box and saw Jeanne pacing back and

forth in the corridor.

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "My mother and I have been waiting here for nearly two

hours., why hasn't anyone come over yet!"

Originally , Jeanne had said that August's parents were going back to China. She specifically

inquired about the hotel that August had booked, and deliberately booked a box next to them, in

order to create a chance encounter, so that the two parents could meet as soon as possible to settle

the marriage. I didn't expect to wait here and there. After waiting for nearly two hours, no one

came! Naturally, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

Jeanne blushed anxiously, she bit her lip, and said without

confidence, "I don't know what's going on? The information

I inquired clearly stated that he had reserved a box, and it stands to reason that he should have

already picked it up by this time. It's my uncle and aunt, why didn't you come?" "Humph!" Martin

snorted coldly, "I told you to keep things calm, what are you doing here? You and I have been

waiting here for so long, and in the end I'm not sure if they will Come!"

Jeanne was trained to say nothing. She glanced at the time, took a deep breath and said, "Forget it,

Dad, maybe they have something to do temporarily. Let's eat first, and we'll talk about the meeting

next time."

Hearing this, Martin threw his sleeves unhappily, turned and walked into the box .

During this meal, Jeanne was restless . As soon as she got home, she made a phone call, "Go and

check August's whereabouts! I want details!” She must know what happened . Clearly!

Within half an hour, the phone came, and a man's voice came from the other end, "Miss, something

happened to

August.”

When Jeanne heard this, she instantly became nervous, "What's wrong with him!"

" Eliot and Christina got off the plane and were taken back to the old house. August was fined and

whipped because of the company's affairs ."

"What? He... how is he now!"

The man over there continued to report,” The Adams family

secretary he brought over blocked him with two whips." When Jeanne heard the

sound, she only felt a thud in her ear, and her mind went blank.
