Arthur was right. Spencer wanted to get Arthur into trouble, but Spencer just instigated Jacob to go against Arthur, and JTP Group had to bear all the consequences. Spencer did nothing but could benefit from it!
Hesitant to talk honestly with Spencer, Jacob saw Poppy, who looked even worse than him, as soon as he entered the house.
"Jacob, where the hell have you been?" Poppy questioned Jacob as soon as she saw him.
"I said I was meeting a friend." Jacob felt very tired, gave a perfunctory answer, and was about to go upstairs, but Poppy did not buy his words.
"Meeting a friend? I've called all your friends and asked them all. No one has an appointment with you! Did you go to Lucia?" Poppy's sixth sense told her Jacob went to Lucia.
Frustrated by Poppy's words, Jacob stopped and turned around, staring at Poppy to ask, "You're checking my whereabouts again?"
"If you did nothing wrong, I would not find out anything!" Poppy said angrily.
He chuckled, walked downstairs, and approached Poppy step by step, scaring Poppy to take a few steps back.
"Poppy, I once said to Lucia I would love her forever, though I told you the same. Don't push me too hard, or you will suffer like Lucia five years ago." Staring at Poppy, Jacob warned her. "Jacob, I ..." Poppy had argued with Jacob countless times and he had lost his temper with her, but Poppy had never seen him stare at her so coldly, just like how he looked at Lucia five years ago!
"Be a good wife, you know?" Jacob lifted his hand and caressed Poppy's face intimately, but Poppy felt like being struck by lightning.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Seeing Poppy's frightened face, Jacob smiled in satisfaction, turned around, and headed upstairs, ignoring Poppy who was frozen in place.
Poppy stared blankly after Jacob who disappeared around the corner on the second floor. Her fear was replaced by rage surging through her. How dared Jacob look at her like that! Realizing for the first time that Jacob's feelings for her had long changed, Poppy clenched her fists and shook with anger, gritting her teeth and cursing the person she hated most, "Lucia!" Spencer lived a rather comfortable life in Ategate. If he was in the USA, his father Erik would restrict him in all aspects, but the situation was different in the country. While he was thinking about how to get close to Lucia, he was surprised by a call from Arthur.
Arthur was on bad terms with Spencer, and he had never asked Spencer out even if both of them were in Athegate, but this time, Arthur asked him for a meeting. Spencer was shrewd, so he felt something wrong immediately, but he still accepted the invitation and went to Branch of Davonnis to see Arthur the next day. Reaching the top floor of Branch of Davonnis, Spencer was not surprised to see Juliana in the secretary's position, and gave her a meaningful look.
Led by Kyle, Spencer went to Arthur's office and Arthur had been waiting for him on the couch.
With two cups of steaming and fragrant coffee on the table, Spencer smiled, walked over and sat down next to Arthur, and asked, "Arthur, why did you think of asking me to meet you today?" "Spencer, though you've stayed at Athegate for so long, I feel sorry for not having entertained you. I happen to have some free time today, so I would like to have a chat with you about family matters." Spencer said calmly, "I'm all ears."
"Spencer, relax. Here's your favorite coffee. Try it." Arthur had a light smile on his face and kept his eyes on Spencer as he pushed the coffee toward him.
Spencer picked up his coffee and was about to drink it when Arthur spoke again.
"Spencer, do you remember our grandfather?"
Spencer nodded.
"Grandpa treats Elliot and your father Erik like his own children. When I was a child, Grandpa took a plane to the USA to see us every time he missed us, despite his old age. He traveled long distances to New York, San Francisco, and the UK, just to see us." Talking about his grandfather, Arthur looked tender for a moment.
"Well, Grandpa has been very good to us," Spencer responded, speculating on Arthur's purpose for suddenly talking about their grandfather.
"Grandpa was good to us. Instead of being partial to any of his children or grandchildren, he nurtured all of them with his whole heart, right?" Arthur asked, looking at Spencer.
"Sure," Spencer replied with a nod.
"But everyone has his life track. Cultivated by our grandfather, they took on a different life path. My dad is a financer in Wall Streat. Erik is doing freight business in San Francisco, and Elliot operates his company in the UK, and our aunt has long passed away. Each has their way of life." Arthur was amazed by the possibilities of life.
Spencer thought about it and said, "Yep, each has their way of life."
"But we are all the Davies, we are bound by blood and should support one another so that the Davies family can continue to prosper. Do you think so, Spencer?" Arthur asked. Spencer raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and said to Arthur, "You are right. As Davies, we are supposed to support one another."
Arthur looked at Spencer's smiling face quietly without a word. He could sense mixed emotions in Spencer's smiling eyes.
When Spencer wanted to ask why Arthur was staring at him, Arthur suddenly looked away and asked Spencer if the coffee was good.
It was then that Spencer realized that the coffee was already cold and he hadn't taken a sip. He took a sip of the cold coffee, which left bitterness in his mouth, but he answered, "It tastes good." "Glad to hear that," Arthur said with a smile, "Spencer, when are you planning to return to the USA? I'll see you off then."
"I am leaving in a few days," Spencer replied frankly.
It was the answer that Arthur wanted. Then they had some small talk for a while before Spencer said goodbye and Arthur got up to send him downstairs. Then he returned to his office.
