Chapter 281

She Was His Soft Spot

August frowned and said word by word, "Dad, I have my arrangements for the engagement."

Eliot said firmly, "It was up to you to make any arrangements before I came back.But now that I'm in
Austos City, these things will naturally be arranged by me and Christina."

August's face darkened.He pursed his lips and fell silent.He knew his father's character.His father had
always been arbitrary and stubborn.He never changed his mind.

It was because of his character that his mother did not see him for the last time before she died.

Recalling the past, August had a headache.

After a moment, he said coldly, "I won't agree to this."

He had already agreed to get engaged to Jeanne.

Wasn't it up to him to decide when to get engaged? August sounded firm, and Eliot was equally firm.

He snorted coldly, stared at August with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Do you think I don't know
anything? As for how much you have been involved with that girl Lucia, I've investigated it clearly,
including the operation fee that you paid to the hospital for her father every month!"

August frowned deeply, raised his eyes, and looked at Eliot.His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

It seemed that his father had already checked it out, and even knew that he paid for the operation fee
for the Mitchell family.

"If you don't agree with my arrangement, then the surgery fee for the Mitchell family must be cut off!
August's heart tightened.He looked up at Eliot, and he suddenly felt a little more complicated.He knew



very well what it meant to the Mitchell family if the operation fee was cut off.Now Professor Mitchel was
preparing for the operation.The incident last time had delayed it and he couldn't afford to wait any
longer.

If there was another accident this time, his situation would probably get worse.

Seeing that August was silent, Eliot continued, "August, you know me.I can't let my son's future be
affected by others."

August knew clearly what his father was implying.

If he insisted on not agreeing, Eliot would probably do something to hurt the Mitchell family.

How could a man who had built the Adams Group with his own hands be someone with no means?
August struggled a little and his eyes became darker and darker.

Finally, he said coldly, "I will follow your arrangement."

Eliot was threatening him, and he didn't have a choice.

Hearing August's words, Eliot looked relieved.He raised his chin slightly, and his tone softened a little,
"Since you and Jeanne are going to get engaged sooner or later, you'd better get it done as soon as
possible.It's good for both of you and I can also take the opportunity to drum up publicity for the
company."

August raised his eyes, just in time to see that Eliot's eyes lit up.

At this moment he realized why his father insisted on arranging the time for his engagement.

This time was carefully chosen.



Eliot wanted to use this incident to drum up publicity for the Adams Group, get over the previous public
opinion as soon as possible, and prove his strength to the business community through August's
engagement to win over new partners.

It was undoubtedly the best and most labor-saving step for the company’s self-rescue.

Eliot was indeed calculating and shrewd.

Eliot had never changed.He had always been the man who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his wife and
child for his benefit.

August was completely disappointed.He lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Eliot was relieved a lot.

He stopped frowning, cleared his throat, and changed the subject, "Since you don't want to recuperate
at home, you can stay in the hospital.As for the company, I'll send Bishop to take charge for the time
being and take the position of vice president.What do you think?"

Although Eliot said it in a negotiating tone, August knew that it was Eliot's decision.

Even if he disagreed, there was no way to change it.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Dad, if you think it is appropriate, I have no problem with it."

Eliot nodded slightly and said, "That's good.Before you're discharged from the hospital and go back to
the company, take good care of yourself."

Then he said a few more words before leaving.

As soon as Eliot left with his men, Joshua came in immediately.



Looking at August's cold face, he couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

August raised his eyes and looked at him with emotions.

But it seemed that in an instant, all his emotions faded and he restored his calmness, "My father is
sending Bishop to be the vice president of the company."

"What?"

Joshua said in surprise, "Isn't it insulting to you? They're taking advantage of your injury this time and
finding a good reason to replace you."

August snorted coldly, and said lightly, "He also asked me to get engaged to Jeanne as soon as
possible.He's trying to use this opportunity to drum up publicity for the Adams Group."

"Your father is very clever!"

Joshua shrugged and asked with interest, "You agreed?"

August frowned and said coldly, "He threatened me with the Mitchell family, and I didn't have a choice."

When Joshua heard August's words, his face became a little serious and his eyes darkened.

August had a soft spot to be taken advantage of, which was a dangerous sign! For people like them,
the most feared thing was to have a soft spot.

Joshua had thought that Jeanne was the girl August loved most, but now he knew it was not true.

August's life had been a little chaotic because of Lucia's intrusion.

Joshua frowned and swallowed.He knew that he had to talk to Lucia about it.



It was just after noon, and Joshua bought lunch for August.

He picked up another lunch box and motioned to August, "I'll go and give it to Lucia."

August heard his words and said, "Call her over."

He had specially instructed her to have three meals a day with him, but she didn't come for lunch after
he waited for so long.

"The nurse told her not to move around.I'll send it to her."

Joshua said, and suddenly smiled at him ambiguously, "If you miss her, then I can call her over."

August frowned slightly, glanced at him coldly, and said nothing.

Joshua smiled, said nothing, and walked out of the ward.

When Joshua walked to the door of the neighboring ward, he became serious.He knocked on the door,
pushed it open, and went in.

Lucia was sitting on the bed reading a book.

This was a novel that she had asked the nurse for today when she felt bored.She raised her eyes when
she heard the sound.

When she saw the person walking in, she was a little surprised, "Joshua".

Joshua smiled, walked over, and put the lunch box in front of her, "Lunch for you."

Lucia smiled politely at him and said, "Thank you."



Seeing that Joshua had no intention of leaving, she paused and asked, "Is there anything else,
Joshua?"

Joshua stepped aside and leaned against the window sill lazily, "I want to tell you something."

When Lucia heard this, she smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Go ahead."

"It's about August."

Joshua paused symbolically, "Do you know that he's getting engaged to Jeanne?"

Lucia's heart skipped a beat and she blinked.

Soon, she looked up at Joshua calmly and said, "I know."

She had heard it from Jeanne long ago.

Joshua was not surprised.He nodded and said calmly, "It should be soon."

Lucia's chest felt a little tight.She took a deep breath and looked at Joshua, "So what?"

What did he tell her?
