Chapter 982 Don't Take It Too Hard

Lucia stood there and told herself to calm down. After a while, August came up and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Don't take it too hard.

His voice was soothing. Lucia shook her head.

"I'm just feeling sorry for Paula. She was so unlucky to love such a man."

Paula loved Burton so much. Such a blow was too heavy for her to stand.

August said in a deep voice, "Maybe Burton..."

Lucia glared at him and cut him off. "At such a point, you're still defending that scumbag?"

She left in a huff. August hurriedly chased after her. Since she was in a fit of pique, he stopped talking about it. Back at home, Lucia was still fuming with rage. It was a shame that she couldn't do anything. Burton and Paula had divorced. As an outsider, she couldn't poke her nose in. However, she was reluctant to see Burton fooling around while Paula was suffering.

Seeing how upset her mother was, J didn't dare to utter any sound. She went around her mother, came to August's side, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what happened? Why is Mom so mad?"

August helplessly glanced at Lucia before telling J what happened to Paula and their meeting with Burton. J was old enough. It was fine to tell her about certain things. The girl immediately understood the situation. She gnashed her teeth.

"That villain! How could he do that to Paula? I'll tell my brother about it."

Paula played an important role in their lives. Paula relapsed because of Burton. J was even angrier than her mother. Before August could react, she rushed out of the house and came to the office building of the Lion Group. The office was empty.

She found an employee and hurriedly asked, "Where is my brother?"

"Mr. Adams is having a meeting."

J trotted to the conference room. Everyone in the office knew her. No one stopped her when she opened the door. Annoyed by the interruption, the executives almost hit the roof. When J was seen, they shut their mouths.novelbin

Timothy frowned at his sister. "We're in the middle of an important meeting."

J came in and grabbed his arm. Is it as important as Paula?"

"That scumbag Burton..." J sulked, "This is very important."

As soon as the name came out of her mouth, Hugh paused from sorting out the files but then continued his work as if he didn't hear anything. In the end, the files were respectfully handed to Timothy.

"Mr. Adams, here you are."

Timothy helplessly glanced at his sister and took the files.

"Alright, this is it for today. Hugh, remember to get me the financial statement for this month."

"Will do."

Timothy then followed the angry girl out of the room. Hugh looked at the boy. The respectful look on his face turned into something wry. Soon, he regained his composure and smirked.
