Chapter 251

The Initiator of Trouble Should End It

She involuntarily raised her hand to touch her forehead.Her fingers felt something sticky, and pain
came from the wound.She gasped and trembled.

Melinda anxiously reminded her, "Lucia, you should have it treated immediately, or a scar will be left."

Lucia looked up, saw the concern and sincerity in her eyes, and felt warm in her heart.

Melinda and she had just gotten to know each other.

Even an acquaintance was concerned about her, but August...

When she closed her eyes, his indifferent gaze would resurface in her mind.He acted like she was just
an insignificant character.

Forget it! She looked at the assistant and whispered, "Melinda, please help me take care of my
work.I'm going to the hospital."

Melinda quickly nodded.

"Go ahead."

Lucia wiped the blood stains with the tissue and dressed her wound in gauze in case of scaring the
passers-by.

Only the did she hurry out of the office.

When the door was opened, she was startled to see a figure outside.

"You..."



Burton took a half step back, bowed his head, and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Her heart tightened, and her lips parted.

Seconds later, she responded, "Okay."

Since Burton was glad to help, she would not mince words.

The car ran fast and steadily down the road.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the gate of the hospital.

She was a little hesitant when she saw the familiar hospital which was the closest one to the office.

Bill was receiving treatment here, and she was afraid of running into her parents.

Once they saw her wound, they would definitely get to the bottom of it.

However, the wound on her forehead could not wait.She had to go in and receive treatment.

Burton escorted her to the consulting room and intended to go in with her.

"Burton, thank you for taking me here.You can go ahead with your business," Lucia said with a frown.

Her attitude was a bit cold and completely different from yesterday when she was talking to him in the
office.

Burton felt it and muttered, "It's Mr.Adams..."

Lucia’s head buzzed, and she cut him off.

"I'll be fine, thanks a lot.You can go." Her voice was emotionless and distant.



Burton no longer insisted.

Instead, he nodded and left.

Not until he went off that Lucia heaved a sigh of relief.

At that point, she didn't want to hear anything about August, nor did she need his so-called help.

When August and Martin were echoing each other just now, her heart was broken.She was naive to
think that August kept her around, helped her, and protected her because he cared about her.

The truth was the opposite.

Even when she was bleeding and aggrieved, he would not pay any attention to her in front of Jeanne or
anyone related to her.She should have seen it through a long time ago.She just had been fooling
herself again and again.She sniffed and went into the consulting room.

The doctor saw the wound on her head and frowned.

"Girl, how did you get hurt? A scar may be left there."

Lucia clasped her cold fingers and flashed a bitter smile.

Having a scar was not a big deal.

Whenever she looked at herself in the mirror, it would remind her that she didn't matter in August's
mind.

Standing in the corner, Burton was observing the situation inside the room.He edited a message and
reported it to August.

Soon, his phone dinged as he received a reply.



"Keep watching till she gets home safely."

The sender of the message was standing on the sofa.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked at Martin across the desk.

The old man had been beating around the bush for a while, but August was clear that Martin would
soon reveal his true intention.

"Have some coffee to moisten your throat."

August refilled Martin's cup, unhurriedly put the pot down, and got to the point, "Martin, the incident in
your company has given rise to much discussion.Got any plan to deal with it?"

Martin looked a little surprised.

Probably, he hadn't expected August to bring up the matter.

Worries then crept onto his face, and he sighed, "To be honest, I came here today just to..."

Before he could finish his words, August interposed in a loud voice, "Actually, no one can help you with
this.Aren't you clear? The trouble should be ended by the initiator.Whether the Kelly Group can get
through the crisis or not depends on your attitude."

Now Martin found it hard to bring up his request.He turned livid, fought back his anger, and sighed, "It's
not that easy."

"Indeed."

August narrowed his eyes and enunciated, "The day of the incident was the best time for you to act.All
that you needed was to apologize to the public, give a reasonable solution, and promise that such



things would not happen again.You could cut the losses, but it's a bit late now.Whoever helps Kelly
Group at this point will become the new target of public criticism.I believe you're aware of this."

August laid bare the truth rather than beat around the bush.

Sure enough, Martin's face fell.

August had made things clear.

Obviously, he was not going to help them.

"At this point, you're advised to apologize in public and compensate those workers for their losses.This
is the only solution, although the effects are weaker.Better late than never."

Martin's brows twitched.Hesitation was written in his eyes.

In the end, he had nothing to say.

August's attitude was clear.He was not going to help the Kelly Group.

Martin was the only person who could save the day.

Five minutes later, August glanced at the empty sofa and laid his eyes on the steaming coffee.His face
fell little by little, and his eyes gleamed with a cold light.

This was no way he would help that old fox.

August hadn't forgotten what Martin had done to his family or that he hurt Lucia today.His brows
furrowed.He swept the cup into the trash can.

In the consulting room of the hospital, Lucia’s wound was dressed.Her forehead was now covered with
a layer of sweat.It hurt pretty badly.



"I'll prescribe you a tube of ointment.Use it twice a day when the scab forms."

Lucia took down the doctor's advice, grabbed the prescription, and went to get the medicine in the
lobby.

Maybe because she was injured in the head, she felt dizzy, weak, and sleepy.She got in line, got her
medicine, and headed to the exit when the gentle voice of a man suddenly came.

"Lucia?"

Following the familiar voice, she looked over and saw Paul standing in the distance.He looked
surprised.Chapter 253 The Enamored One Lost The two men were confronting each other tensely.

Their fists were clenched, and a fight might happen at any second.

Shocked by the situation, Burton immediately went forward to mediate.

Before he could say anything, August stared at Paul and bellowed, "What did you just say?"

He clenched his fists so forcefully that the veins were popping on his arms.

His muscles went taut, and his strength was waiting to be unleashed.

Unwilling to be outdone, Paul tried to counter when another voice suddenly came.

"Yo, I've been waiting.

Turns out you're here having a duel."

Joshua lazily walked over, teased August, and pulled his friend, "Come on, it has been just a few days
since we went to the boxing club, and your hands are itchy?"



The tension was eased with the sudden appearance of Joshua.

He winked at Burton, went to Paul's side, and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Relax, we're all men of honor.

If this is photographed by the paparazzi, it will hit the headlines tomorrow."

Burton advised August and separated the two men.

Joshua looked at Burton and smiled, "Take your boss to Box 666.

I'll see Mr.Thomas off."

Burton took the hint, blocked August's way, and persuaded him to go inside.

After the two men left, Joshua smiled, patted Paul, and said, "Mr.Thomas, it's not a big deal.

I'll buy you a drink another day.

Be sure to accept my invitation."

Paul's face was icy cold.

He did his best to fight back his anger.

"I'm fine, goodbye."

He then strode away.

Joshua glanced at the man, shook his head with a helpless smile, and went back to the box.

August was drinking there alone.



Amused, Joshua went over and teased his friend, "Bro, what happened? You were impulsive back
there and almost fought with Paul."

August picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and gave Joshua a cold look.

"That's not your concern."

Joshua laughed and speculated boldly, "Is it became of a woman? Lucia?"

Sure enough, once the words were out of his mouth, the face of his friend turned livider.

August then looked daggers at him.

Joshua felt a chill and looked away with a grin.

From the table, he picked up his wine glass and pointed to a bunch of people who were sitting on the
other side.

"See that man named Felipe Knight? He just came back from abroad, and his father asked him to
marry the second daughter of the Riley family before he could enjoy much of his bachelor life.

That lady weighs 200 pounds and eats like a horse.

Can you imagine that? And that man named Ralph Norman.

He just got married to his second wife.

In less than a month, he started fooling around again.

Bro, do you see what I mean?"

Joshua looked back at his friend.



A cold look was August's only reply.

He had never gotten along with these rich kids.

Although he knew every one of them, he was not close to them.

Joshua, however, often hung out with them.

Joshua suddenly turned serious.

"You can have fun but should not get enamored, or you'll put yourself in a passive position.

Those women would lead you by the nose."

In love, the enamored one lost.

His friend should know the rule.

August was sensitive enough to perceive what Joshua was implying.

He asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

Joshua smiled but deliberately chose not to make it clear.

"Don't you get it?"

He didn't explain until August was out of patience.

"Don't you think you paid too much attention to Lucia?"

"Did I?"

August snorted and indifferently sipped his wine.



How could he possibly be charmed by that woman? "Is that so?"

Joshua laughed.

"How about I call over two girls to have fun with you?"

Without waiting for August's response, he snapped his fingers to summon the waiter who was standing
by.

"Go and call over some girls.

They should be pure and innocent."

The waiter immediately left to make arrangements.

With pretty girls in their arms, those dandies looked over in surprise and teased him, "Joshua, are you
doing it again? Can you really handle it?"

"Yeah, he wants pure and innocent girls.

That's interesting."

Joshua smiled and looked at the man sitting next to him.

"Not my order."

Those dandies then turned to look at August with wandering eyes.

Everyone in the circle knew how clean his private life was.

He had never fooled around.

This was strange.



August frowned at Joshua and sulked, "I don't need this."

Joshua winked at him and laughed devilishly, "They'll just drink with you.

What are you afraid of? This is a test of whether you're enamored."

August's eyes went cold.

He intended to reject it, but the latter half of Joshua's words made him hesitate.

There was no way he had feelings for Lucia.

A test or what would not daunt him.

Soon, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup came in, followed by a bunch of young girls who had
slim figures.

As Joshua had requested, they were all pure and innocent type.

The middle-aged woman smiled at Joshua and asked, "Sir, these are all good girls.

Which one do you like?"

Joshua ran his eyes over them and pointed to one with long hair.

"That girl will entertain Mr.Adams, and that one will come to me."

The long-haired girl flashed a delighted look.

Her eyes rounded when she saw the customer she was about to serve.

The man sitting on the sofa had sculpted features, a straight nose, and thin lips.



Exuding nobleness, he was a heartthrob.

She was so lucky to serve such a customer today.

Joshua glanced at the dumbfounded girl and sneered, "What are you waiting for? Come over."

"Yes, sir."

She immediately went over, sat down beside August, gingerly glanced sideways at his face, and
excitedly picked up the wine bottle, "Sir, I'll fill your glass."

The pungent smell of perfume made August frown.

He remained silent but put his glass down on the table when the girl was trying to pour wine for him.

Her hands shook, and the wine almost spill out.

An awkward smile appeared on her face.

She quickly stretched out her arm and did her job.

The wine was poured, but August had no intention of picking up the glass.

Joshua, who was watching with amusement, arched his brow, chuckled, and reminded the girl, "Since
he doesn't want to labor himself, bring the cup to his mouth."

The girl curled her lips and said in a sweet voice, "Sir, I'll serve you to drink."

With that, she picked up the glass and carefully sent it to August's mouth.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly furrowed his brows and snapped, "Take it away!"

The girl was taken aback.



Her hands trembled, and the wine spilled on his pants.

In a panic, she put down the glass and hurriedly tried to wipe it for him with the tissue.

"I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't mean to!"

August's anger flared up.

He knocked off her hand and snapped, "Don't touch me!"

The moment she laid her hand on him, all his hair stood on end.

It was a fight-or-flight response.
