As soon as Kane returned to his office, he contacted Eduard.

"Eduard, Lucia is back. She's in the office now. I talked to her about it. I can't get anything out of her."

"She couldn't have told us if she hadn't told Arthur," Eduard said. "I talked to Arthur, and the only way to get anything out of Lucia is for Daphne to try."

Kane thought for a moment and said approvingly, "Why didn't I think of Daphne? She's really the right person."

"I've told Daphne what to do, and now it's just a matter of waiting," said Eduard.

"Eduard, what if Lucia breaks up with Arthur and doesn't have any contact with him anymore? What about us in the middle..." Kane said to Eduard worriedly, remembering what Lucia had just said.

"No way," Eduard immediately denied Kane's words. "Can you imagine that Lucia doesn't end up with Arthur? I can't. The current situation is just a test for them in their life. I have a certain belief that they will get together in the end."

Kane took in Eduard's words and nodded. "Yes, Lucia's life has had its ups and downs. The only light that has been lit is Arthur's appearance. I hope that light doesn't go out too easily."

"Absolutely not!" Eduard said, word by word, with confidence.

While Kane was on the phone with Eduard, Lucia was left alone in her office, in a daze.

She'd come back from a month away with a mountain of problems, but Kane had solved them all, and the company was on its way, even a little idle.

As soon as Lucia got off the plane, she went back to the company to avoid Spencer and use her job to relieve her depression.

But... Lucia looked at the office door, and Daphne should be coming in soon.

Three hours after Lucia and Esmae returned to Athegate, another flight from Chicago landed in Preley, home to another Branch of Davonnis that Otis managed.

Helena was supposed to go with Lucia and her mother, but she missed the time by going back to the office first to find Otis and find out what had happened. She had been suffocating for the past ten days. Without informing Otis, Helena appeared in the lobby of the Branch of Davonnis with her suitcase. Naturally, her stunning beauty attracted a lot of attention, but Helena paid no attention and went straight to the front desk to inform him of her arrival. Before she could say few words, Otis, with a few assistants, went back from outside for work and saw his girlfriend.

"Helena!" Otis's usually calm and low voice sounded a little excited. He did not expect Helena would suddenly appear here.

Hearing a familiar voice, Helena looked back, saw Otis leaving his luggage behind and ran toward him. She threw herself into his arms.

"Otis, Otis, I miss you!" Helena was always the most direct person to express her feelings.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Although he was so excited that he wanted to carry Helena in his arms and turn around, he still had his wits about him. Otis stroked her long hair lovingly and said, "Helena, did you just get off the plane?" Helena winked playfully and smiled. "Well, surprise," she said

Helena's fluttering eyelashes seemed to tickle his heart. Otis smiled gently and nodded. "It's a surprise."

Otis and Helena were so happy to see each other that they didn't notice the jaw-dropping expressions of the people around them.

Was this smiling man really their eternal iceberg president?

Otis carried Helena's luggage to his office. When he asked how many days she would be with him, Helena's bright face darkened. "I'm leaving this afternoon..."

Otis knew it when he heard it: "Athegate, Huh?"

"Well, Lucia's engagement party is tomorrow morning. I made an excuse to find you. Otis, now, can you tell me what happened between Lucia and Arthur? Why did they break up so easily?" Helena asked, leaning over Otis.

Otis sighed. Knowing he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, he told Helena about the absurd scene Arthur and Eduard had encountered before they left Chicago. Helena listened to the whole story with great difficulty. As soon as Otis finished, she spoke up,

"No way! Lucia would never do something like that!"

Helena's reaction was identical to that of everyone who knew Lucia and knew her character.

"That's what we thought, but Spencer wasn't Teddy's donor, so why would Lucia compromise? If she is only concerned about your family's kindness to her, Lucia could have made it clear to Arthur that there is no need to get involved with Spencer," Otis said worriedly.

"No wonder Arthur asked me to look up the donor. It turns out Spencer was involved. I was there the other day during Teddy's surgery, and the man was in the operating room with him," Helena said, frowning. "So there's nothing we can do about the engagement party tomorrow. Arthur is the most miserable person right now," Otis said sternly, but there was no shortage of affection for his brother, "I wonder how he is now... I was afraid to call him for the first time..."

"I'm going to find Lucia and find it out!" Helena stood up impulsively.

Otis grabbed Helena and said, "Helena, calm down. If Lucia has a reason, she would have told you already. Why wait until now? You're only making her feel worse by asking her." Helena frowned, neither moving forward nor retreating. Being held by Otis, she could only say angrily, "Are you just going to stand by and watch Lucia and Spencer get engaged?!"

"If this is what Lucia wants, there's nothing we can do to stop it..." Otis told Helena that she had to face the truth.

"This is so unfair to Arthur!" Helena said indignantly.

"So what if it's unfair? Now, it's up to Arthur to come up with a solution at the last minute. If he can't... maybe they'll really end up here." Otis felt depressed, and the relationship between Arthur and Lucia was linked to Theodore's future. There was bound to be a war between his family and Erik's family and Esmae.

Helena slumped back on the sofa, having no idea.
