Helena sat down nervously, and was worried about Lucia's reaction.

Taking a deep breath, Esmae calmed herself down with Chris' help, glancing at her children and Lucia,

"Go on eating. Don't mention it again!"

Esmae's decision wasn't easy to change even by Chris. Helena wasn't stupid enough to question her like Reynolds, so she ate her dinner like Lucia and didn't say anything.

Shawn glanced at Lucia with something else in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Dinner thus ended in a solemn atmosphere.

There left two days to go home.

Unbeknownst to Lucia, Athegate had created quite a stir because of her.

Three days ago, Cloudwork Inc. Suddenly issued an invitation to the entire upper class, inviting celebrities from all walks of life to attend Spencer and Lucia's engagement banquet to be held in three days. The banquet venue was located in the city's most famous West Cape Church. As soon as this invitation was issued, the entire upper class was in a frenzy, and they were not the only ones who had such a reaction. Once the information was leaked, it was all known by citizens in Athegate.

"Isn't Lucia dating Arthur?! Why is she suddenly engaged with Spencer?!"

"Isn't Spencer Arthur's cousin? Oh, my God. What kind of triangle is this?"

"It is unethical. Arthur and Lucia already have a child? Is she gonna take the kid and marry Spencer?"

"I know Lucia is not that simple. I didn't expect she would make them fall in love with her."

Over the past few days, wherever people went in Athegate, they can almost hear people talking about this matter. There were even many netizens who went to the companies owned by the people in question to voice their doubts, or direct abuse, with Lucia and the Webbex Group in particular.

Arthur and Spencer were secretly competing with each other. Such a big news should have been the front page of entertainment media, but after a few days, none of the magazines dared to publish a single news about it, because of a piece of Arthur's paper. The Branch of Davonnis had sent a direct message that if any magazine were to report this, it would be against Davonnis Corp, against Arthur. And Davonnis Corp would do everything in its power to shut down those magazines. Under great pressure, medias chose to protect themselves, but they couldn't stop the public's mouth.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Webbex Group, Branch of Davonnis, Cloudwork Inc. almost every day, the PR calls from all three companies were flooded with busybodies, and the only one to respond was Cloudwork Inc. who was simply triumphantly promoting and recognizing the news. Even after some righteous people scolded the company badly.

In the President's office of Cloudwork Inc., Spencer listened to his subordinate's report on the public opinion. His subordinate felt uneasy, but soon, he realized that the president was not unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled slightly, which could not been hidden. The subordinate was at a loss immediately. Why was the president still so happy when the company was criticized?

"I know, you can go." After hearing the report, Spencer sent him off and called Samuel up.

"Mr. Davies, what can I do for you?" After Lucia kicked him out of the Webbex Group, Samuel returned to Cloudwork Inc., and had now become his subordinate. "Still not a single magazine has agreed to cover it?" Spencer asked.

Samuel replied awkwardly, "No, Arthur sent a letter of warning directly in the company's name. Nobody at Athegate dares mess with the Branch of Davonnis, so..."

"You don't have to ask everyone. Just ask Prospect Focus Magazine. The owner would be wide-eyed at the sight of money-greedy. Take five million grand and go straight to him. Tell him I'm at Cloudwork Inc. to be his backup, to resist the pressure to report on my engagement, and if he accepts, I can give him exclusive coverage of the day of the engagement party," said Spencer.

"Prospect Focus Magazine?" Samuel recalled. Indeed, he remembered this magazine. This Magazine was often criticized because it had no limits and reported nonsense. It was probably the only one who dared to accept the temptation, so Samuel immediately agreed,

"All right, I'll get right on it!"

Just as Samuel was leaving, Spencer called out to him, "Wait a minute."

"Anything else, Mr. Davies?" Samuel turned around.

"Have you heard from Jacob lately?"

"Yes." Samuel didn't hide it.

"You're not saying anything, are you?" Spencer asked, with his voice dropping, half-incredulously.

"Of course not!" Samuel said sincerely. "I'm your man now. Jacob is just a fugitive. I took his call, but I didn't tell him anything!"

"You don't have to panic," Spencer said with a sly smile, "I'm just asking," he said. "I need Jacob for something, so he can't know about me and Lucia. If he calls again, you know what to do." "Yes, I know!" Samuel promised.

"Well, off you go," Spencer said with a smile that finally gave way to a wave of his hand before Samuel dared to leave his office.

As soon as he got out of the office, Samuel let out a sigh of relief and felt the pressure to not answer Jacob's phone again.

Unlike Jacob, Spencer was a cunning, scheming man, but his mind was completely hidden. When he smiled, no one could tell if it was real or fake. Every time Samuel talked to him, he was afraid he might offend him.

Samuel, however, had no choice but to cling to Spencer, and with that in mind, he stepped up to do what he was told.

In the afternoon, Samuel approached Brodie Ross, the owner of Prospect Focus Magazine, with a check. Brodie was intrigued by the check and took under Cloudwork's wing. That night, Prospect Focus Magazine published an off-line report about Spencer and Lucia's engagement, describing the couple as a happy one. The text given to him by Samuel was reported in its original form.

In Samuel's text, Arthur became the third party, while Spencer and Lucia were in true love, who broke through the obstacles and ended up together. Although the article was full of loose ends and out of context, after seeing the report the next day, many people were misled.

All of a sudden, Arthur and Spencer were forced to the point of injustice.

After reading the article, the most excited person was not Arthur, but Eduard, who had been harassed by gossip magazines for a long time, and who hated them for taking things out of context.
