Chapter 425 Make A Trip Herself

He is much more than humane compared to Bishop.

How could the pot call the kettle black? "Do you have any idea how many funds of Lion Group he had embezzled for these years? Do you ever know how many spies and undercover agents he had planted around me? "And, do you know that the son of Joaquin Downs was abducted by the man of Bishop Adams? His life was hanging by a hair now!"

Lucia's heart jolted when she heard August's grave words.She even shaked all over unconsciously.

August's eyes were heavy with exhaustion and disappointment, and suddenly he let go of Lucia’s hand.

As for Lucia, She lost her footing with her mind blank.

She couldn't understand the feud over money and power in the high society so she couldn't make head or tail of what he was experiencing or what he was doing.

All she knows is that this man has a heart of stone.

The only she wants is to escape from all these.

Lucia took a few steps back with a gasp of horror.

She couldn't bear any sight of August at all and then she fled.

The door slammed behind her.

With the hard slam, August's heart sank as well.

He finally frightened Lucia away with his ruthlessness.

August smiled bitterly at himself. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

He didn't mean to do that, but he didn't have any other choice but to do that.

Lucia didn't know that Joaquin Downs’s son had become the target of Bishop long since Bishop had set up his mind to bring Joaquin Downs into control.

Bishop seized Joaquin Downs's son in the case of Joaquin Downs's defection the moment that he commanded his men to do the liquidation.

But he rescued Joaquin Downs's son from Bishop and just was trying to trap him into making some confession.

He had no thought of hurting Joaquin Downs's son from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, Lucia still took his plan the wrong way.

A fit of grievance caught August off guard.

He frowned tightly with a serious headache.

At this very moment, Burton pushed the door open and came in.

"President Adams, the receptionist of the President's Office received several calls from media in Austos.

They were inquiring about the accounts check of the branch.

Hearing this, August wrinkled his brows and looked more serious.

He didn't expect Bishop to have taken a strike so fast.

Bishop must have spread the news in his desperation, which meant that he was ready to risk everything.

Since August couldn't tolerate him anymore, he might as well expose the scandal and simply get the entire Lion Group into this.

By then, Lion would be greatly damaged after the storm of gossip.

It was a typical reckless attack.

He is ruthless.

August frowned and ordered, "Make an announcement before all the rumors and suspicion come out.Tell the public why we checked the account of the branch and the final result.Make Joaquin Downs the scapegoat.Joaquin Downs had damaged the interests of Lion for so many years under the command of Bishop.

Before they put Joaquin Downs in jail, he might as well Joaquin Downs the tip of the storm and make the best use of his final value.

He wanted to protect the interests of Lion Group.

It was his bottom line as well as his duty as the president.

However, no one involved in the war between him and Bishop could remain intact.

If the damage was doomed to be inflicted on him, he could only fight Bishop to the end.

For the next three days, various remarks about Lion Group stormed the internet.

Lion Group first made an announcement and explained the cause and result of the audit.

Then, Joaquin Downs was the scapegoat that suffered all the blame and disdain of Austos citizens.

After that, Lion Group made the second announcement, claiming that Lion was conducting an in-depth investigation as it was necessary for them to catch whoever was behind Joaquin Downs.

Also, Lion would audit the accounts of other branches.

After a series of actions, Lion received no criticism from netizens and its actions even received highly favorable reviews.

However, no one knew to which way the tide of gossip would turn.

In the meantime, Lucia was in a forest with the film crew collecting good subjects to shoot.

In the promise of efficiency, the team of eight consisted of Director Brook, Lucia, two other leading actors, and four of the most capable workers of different departments of the crew.

They traveled light and arrived at the Gransend Mountains in the northwest of Austos City.

Instead of taking the sightseeing route, they took to the hill through an unknown way in order to find the best scenes for the shooting of the public service advertisement.

After they pitched camp halfway up the peak where they took a few test shots and found the scene was fit for shooting, the director suggested taking a rest on site.

Then, Lucia sat down and checked her phone.

She had a bad connection hence she couldn't view the headlines about Lion Group though she tried to refresh the webpage again and again.

Finally, Lucia gave up on the poor Internet connection.

She stood up and dusted herself down to watch the footage.

After watching it twice, Lucia was still not satisfied with the footage.

Plucking up the courage, she walked toward Director Brook and said, "Director, it's not the ideal of a perfect shot for our shooting this time, the location is not spectacular enough.So, can we just change the location and film it again?"

Director Brook went to watch the footage and said in the end, "Alright, we shall find another location to shoot again, but it's going to rain later, we'd better move fast."

"Great."

They would shoot for three days according to the schedule.

The task was very difficult seriously; besides, time-pressed.

They had to make their way to the mountain every day and back to the hotel for rest after shooting.

They were working on a tight schedule.

By afternoon, they found a new location but it was just not working to their expectation either.

Lucia then suggested a worker fly the drone to scout the area for the best scene.

Lucia stared fixedly at the video from the drone, and suddenly, her eyes were captured by a scene in the video.

There were a wooden bridge, a placid stream, and tall trees encompassed by a grand natural meadow.

So tranquil and so picturesque.

Lucia hastened to ask Viola to locate the scene.

However, Viola shook his head helplessly and said, "That place may be far away from us."

"How far?"

Lucia didn't want to give it up easily for this was the most suitable shooting location for the public advertisement.She must have known the location today in order that they can film there tomorrow, to say the least.

Viola looked at his watch.

"Even though we got there today, we have no time for shooting cuz there is only an hour and a half left for us today before the time we have to go back to the hotel."

Lucia’s eyebrows tightly twitched when she heard what he said.She was hesitating.She was always meticulous in working and wanted to do her best every time.

But now, they had a problem.

Thinking for a while, Lucia seemed to make up her mind.

She cast a glance at Director Brook, who was communicating with an actor, then said to Viola again, "How about we send someone to scout out the lie of the land today and shoot there tomorrow?"

Viola shook his head by way of an answer to him.

"But we just have a minimum number of staff now."

Lucia bit her lips silently.

It seemed that she can only make a trip there herself.
