Chapter 344 Sentenced
Jeanne felt the man's sudden look at her.Her body became cold, and she was suddenly nervous.She gritted her teeth, looked at Mark, and raised her voice to make herself domineering.
"Mark, August asked you, why you want to kill Lucia?" Jeanne asked.
A gloom flashed in Mark's eyes, and after he hesitated for a few seconds, he looked at August cautiously.
"Because that woman is too annoying, she always hangs around you, sir, and I was afraid that she would take my boss’ place in your life.It's all my fault."
Mark said with a clear voice, even though he was still trembling and in trouble.
Jeanne's heart tensed, and she didn't expect that Mark would risk taking the blame for himself to protect her.
August looked at him condescendingly.
"So, you confess to the crime of instigating the motorcyclist to intentionally harm others?" He asked Mark.
Mark hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Yes."
August glanced at him coldly.
"Mark, do you know that you are going to go to jail because of this?" He asked.
When Mark heard the words, he was silent and did not speak.
On the other hand, Jeanne's nervous face turned pale.
After waiting for a while, Mark still didn't answer.
August turned to look at Burton next to him.
"Contact the police immediately, hand over the recording we just made to them, and let them do the rest.Follow due procedure," He ordered Burton coldly.
"August!"
Jeanne's eyes widened in panic as she yelped.She stretched out her hand to grab August's arm.
"Is this necessary? Mark is my bodyguard and has been with me for many years. Now if it is true..."
Jeanne started to say.
Before Jeanne could finish her sentence, August had already reached out and taken his hand out of hers.
"Jeanne, never speak for the wrong person," he said coldly.
The man's voice was loud, with a power that could not be clearly explained, making Jeanne unable to refute it.
Jeanne opened her mouth, and the rest of the pleas she would have said, poured back into her mouth, and she couldn't say them.
At this moment, Mark suddenly raised his head to look at her.
"Miss, it's alright.At that time, I was obsessed with doing the wrong thing, and I am willing to be punished," he said to Jeanne.
Jeanne opened her mouth in surprise.
Seeing Mark shaking his head gently at her, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Everything became a foregone conclusion.
If she continued to intercede for him, then August will doubt her again, and it would be meaningless for Mark to take the blame.
A bit of coldness flashed in August's eyes.He looked at his subordinates and coldly ordered, "Take him away."
The two subordinates immediately followed suit and left with Mark.
August turned to Jeanne.
"Jeanne, I will investigate the motorcycle accident and give you a thorough explanation of my findings," he said to Jeanne word for word.
Jeanne was in a complicated mood, so she nodded and gasped.
"Okay."
Seeing August step away from the house, Jeanne's anger burned from head to toe.
How could she not have known that the reason why August went so hard to investigate the motorcycle accident was not for her at all? It was for the other woman Lucia! Because of Lucia, she even lost Mark, a capable subordinate of hers! The mixture of jealousy and anger made her almost unbearable.
She stood in front of the window and watched the black car drive out of the yard.
Then she grabbed a vase on the table next to her and smashed it on the ground.
If Lucia dared to come back again, even if she tried her hardest, she would be dragged into hell, and she would never see the light! Half a month later, the Austos City Court sentenced the scene.
In the pew, Jeanne sat next to August, looking at Mark in the dock, a burst of complicated emotions emerging in her heart.
At the end of the trial, the judge announced.
"Defendant Mark Page, on suspicion of attempted murder, is sentenced to five years in prison."
"Boom!"
The judge's hammer thumped, and everything was hammered down and concluded.
Mark raised his head and suddenly looked in Jeanne's direction, a few rays of light flashed from the bottom of his eyes.It's only for five years.
For Jeanne, he was willing.
After five years, when he comes out again, she would still be his young lady, the object of his unconditional obedience, and he would still be her most loyal subordinate.
This will never change.
Jeanne raised her eyes, just to meet Mark's eyes, and her heart sank inexplicably, she felt a little guilty and ashamed.
If it wasn't for Mark, she would have been the one who was sentenced to jail at this time.
But after a few seconds, the guilt in her heart was fleeting and quickly dissipated.
She and Mark have always been people from two different worlds.He paid so much for her, which was only right.
The big deal was that when he comes out, she will compensate him abundantly.
Thinking of this, Jeanne’s heart suddenly became more balanced.
At the end of the trial, Jeanne took August out of the courtroom and swept away the gloom on her face.
"August, come to my house for dinner tonight, my dad said that he hasn't seen you for a long time and that he wants to be with you.Have a few drinks with us," she said to August with a smile.
August heard the words, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he gave Jeanne a deep look.
"Let's hold on for a while concerning that," he said to Jeanne politely. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
After saying this, it happened his cell phone rang, he pressed the answer button and walked to the side to answer.
A few minutes later, he walked back, looked at Jeanne, and said softly, "I'll have someone take you home, I still have something to deal with."
When Jeanne heard this, she frowned.
"August, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, August had already turned around and walked quickly toward the car next to her.
Jeanne stood on the spot, stomping her feet angrily.
Since when did August become so unfamiliar with her? He was very indifferent.
In the end, she couldn't help biting her lip, so she got into the car that August arranged for her to leave.
On the other side, in the car August was in, Burton glanced at the car that was carrying Jeanne away, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "President, where is Miss Kelly?"
August glared at him.
August's eyes were cold and dark.
Although the trial of the motorcycle accident had been handled, it did not mean that Jeanne was innocent.
And it was not only concerning this matter, there were too many other things that lingered.
Jeanne looked very suspicious.
Today's Jeanne is no longer the little girl who used to only chase after his ass and call her brother.
August turned his head and looked out the window.
He suddenly thought of something.
"This weekend's itinerary has been postponed," he said to Burton.
Burton was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr.Adams, are you going to Figo City this weekend?"
In the past month, August had never given up looking for Lucia.
Austos City was flipped back and forth several times, and finally, he decided to expand the scope and even went to Figo City to find her in person.
August heard the words, closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair, and replied softly, "Yes."
He had never been a person who would give up easily, and he will not give up on finding Lucia! What's more, that woman owes him too much, he must find her and let her pay back what she owes him a hundred times and a thousand times!
