A week ago, when Esmae learned that Theodore was ill and needed a marrow replacement, the first person she thought of was not Edwin and Sophie, but Spencer and Erik, who were also Theodore's relatives.
Then she called Spencer and Erik to Chicago. Esmae arranged a matching test for the two that day, and the two naturally cooperated in an obedient way. Spencer was even more excited. If he was the one who could save Theodore, will Lucia be docile and obedient to him?
The results came out very quickly. Erik lost, and God made a big joke. That was, Spencer and Theodore matched successfully! And he was in good health, and doctors can almost guarantee that as long as the operation was performed, Theodore had a good chance of recovering.
Esmae was very happy to see the result. Just as she was about to ask Spencer to donate bone marrow to Theodore immediately, Spencer shied away. When Esmae was furious, he and his father Erik both proposed to discuss privately first, and then give Esmae the answer later. Esmae was helpless and can only wait for an afternoon.
Back at the hotel, Erik and Spencer showed their true colors.
"Spencer, this is a godsend! Theodore is sick and you are the only one who can save him, haha. I can almost imagine Edwin kneeling down and begging us! Don't delay. Contact Edwin. I want him to use everything for your marrow."
"Dad, wait a minute," Spencer stopped abruptly when Erik was complacent, "I have other plans."
"Other plans?" Erik raised his brows high. Wondering what Spencer was still hesitating about, he continued, "Spencer, are you stupid? This is a great opportunity for us to take back the entire Davonnis Corp. Edwin loves Theodore so much. He will definitely agree to all our requests, and our long-cherished wish will come true!"
"Dad," Spencer said slowly, "you think too simply. If we force the Edwin family to hand over the Davonnis Corp in exchange for bone marrow, they won't agree, and I'm afraid the whole family will despise us. If it goes pubic, how will we behave in the upper class in the future?"
"As long as you have money, self-esteem is nothing." Erik said without hesitation, showing greed.
"Dad," Spencer persuaded helplessly because of his father's being short-sighted, "If there is a way to save face, beat the Edwins, and even make Arthur cannot recover after a setback, why not try it?" "What do you mean?" Erik asked Spencer, and felt it interested.
"You know Arthur loves Lucia deeply. As long as I can save Theodore, Lucia will be in my hands. In this way, it will not only attack Arthur mentally and make the Davis family lose a major force, but I will also be able to marry Lucia and get the Browns family as a huge backer. Sooner or later, Davonnis Corp would fall into our hands."
Spencer analyzed his plan for Erik, but Erik disagreed, frowned and said,
"Why so much trouble? Just ask Edwin to hand over Davonnis Corp. The big deal is to threaten them not to spread it."
"I want Lucia." Spencer said firmly as he looked at his father.
"You..." Edwin didn't expect Spencer to say that.
"Dad, you know how much I hate Arthur since I was a child. I actually liked Grandpa very much before, but he only loved Arthur, and he always compared me to him. In comparison, he is always the genius. I am just a mediocre person. But this time, I have the opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop!"
Spencer's eyes lit up fiercely, and he said sharply, "Arthur's biggest weakness in his life is Lucia. As long as I get Lucia, I will win him, you know?! As long as I hold Lucia, Arthur will be depressed forever. Even his son has to call me Daddy! You know?!"
Spencer got more and more excited, and the jealousy for Arthur was driving him crazy.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
How could Erik not know Spencer's mind? Spencer had always loved to compare himself with Arthur since he was a child. In fact, no one can compare with Arthur. He can't deny this. He didn't expect his son to take unnecessary pains to study an insignificant problem. No wonder he asked to go to Athegate to set up a company. It turned out that he still wanted to compete with Arthur.
"But Spencer ..." Erik said unwillingly, "This is our chance to win Davonnis Corp in one fell swoop..."
"Davonnis Corp is definitely ours!" Spencer assured Erik,
"But the premise is to get rid of Arthur's arrogance first. Dad, let me ask you, if we trade marrow for Davonnis Corp, it means that Theodore will recover one day. Once he recovers, do you think Edwin will let us go off? You know how powerful he is. Apart from Davonnis Corp, he still has countless assets and top contacts that everyone in the upper class envies. If he makes a comeback, do you think you can stop him?!"
Erik didn't say a word and admitted that he really hadn't thought about this. He was still terrified but also fortunate at the same time that if his son didn't remind him, he would have been reckless. That was right. Edwin had a lot of power. Even without Davonnis Corp, with his and his son's strength, it would be a matter of time if they wanted to make a comeback. Once they reached that situation, they will never show mercy to them.
Erik coveted money and power, but also wanted to keep them in his hands for a long time. Finally, he compromised and asked Spencer, "Spencer, what are you going to do?"
"What to do?" Seeing that his father had listened to his words, Spencer gave Erik a sly smile and told Erik of his plan.
In the afternoon, Spencer also told Esmae his plan, and Esmae frowned.
"Ms. Wilson, I know you are worried that Teddy's condition is getting worse, but with my bone marrow, Teddy will definitely be saved. It's just for the sake of the future. I need him to suffer for a few more days, then you will let the Edwin family and Lucia come to see him. Lucia loves her son so much. Seeing Teddy's pain, she will no longer care others. When she is most helpless, I'll tell her about my successful match with Teddy, and I'll just ask her to marry me, so that I could both have Lucia, and you can sever the relationship between her and Arthur."
Seeing that Esmae still had doubts, Spencer said for her what she cared about the most, and also outspokenly persuaded her to take a long-term view.
Esmae frowned and thought for a long time. She stood up and took the phone out to talk to the doctor for a while. The doctor told her that he could temporarily control Theodore's condition, so she agreed with Spencer.
