"Are you sure you're okay with Reynolds?" Kane asked.

"Well, he's not going to attack us any more, so it's up to us to explain it to the public," said Lucia.

"So Nia's not going to be held accountable for malicious document tampering?" Kane no longer had any doubt but had confirmed that Nia had tampered with the evaluation document. "Why bother? She was just egged on by Reynolds, and after all, she's also a victim." Lucia understood Nia's actions.

Nia sweat when she heard this. Did Lucia know everything?

But when hearing the truth part, why did Lucia say that she will hate her? Was there any difference between what Lucia said and what she knew?

Just as Nia was puzzled, Daphne came back, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Nia leaning in front of Lucia's office. Frowning, Daphne slowly walked over.

"What are you doing?" Daphne suddenly asked after sneaking up on Nia who screamed and jumped to her feet. Suddenly, she looked pale.

Lucia and Kane opened the door and came out when they heard the commotion. Their faces changed when they saw Nia who looked so pale. "What happened?" Lucia looked at Nia and asked.

"I brought the documents over for your review. As I was about to knock on the door, Daphne came back and sneaked up on me without saying a word. I'm sorry, Lucia." Nia suppressed the tremors in her body as she made up the lie.

Lucia looked at Nia's face, wondering if what she was saying was true or not. It just so happened that she was standing in front of the office when Daphne found her? Or... ? Was she eavesdropping? With that in mind, Lucia asked Daphne, "Daphne, is it true what Nia said? Did you scare her?"

Daphne nodded apologetically and replied, "As soon as I came back, I saw Nia standing at the door as if she didn't want to knock. That's why I came over and asked her. I didn't expect her to be so scared." Even though she had scared Nia, she had scared herself to death by jumping up and down, and Daphne was muttering to herself.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

When Lucia heard this, her sharp eyes darted towards Nia. She could understand that her actions were in some way influenced by Reynolds, but she knew that she was eavesdropping on her own the conversations with Kane. And Reynolds had nothing to do with it, so Nia had violated Lucia's principles.

Faced with Lucia's questioning gaze, Nia mumbled, "Because you and Mr. Fletcher were discussing something, I didn't know if I could disturb you, and hesitated at the door for a while..."

"I see," said Lucia, without further questioning. "Give me the papers and go back to work."

Nia felt like she was about to be pardoned, so she felt lucky that she actually had a document in her arms. She handed it to Lucia and quickly returned to her seat praying that Lucia wouldn't notice anything. After Nia and Daphne both returned to their seats, Lucia and Kane looked at each other and said, "Let Reynolds deal with Nia on his own. If she continues to violate my principle, I'll deal with Reynolds." "Lucia, you're just too soft-hearted..." Kane sighed helplessly. She was too considerate of Nia to keep her by her side even though she knew that Nia was Reynolds' spy.

"She helped me a lot when I first came back to Athegate two years ago, and Teddy has been taken care of by her. Besides, she wouldn't be where she is now if Reynolds hadn't compelled her. I just hope Reynolds can explain it to her and get her mind back on track."

Lucia will have to do with it now.

In the afternoon, Webbex Group held a press conference to apologize to the public for the mistake in the tannery's loan assessment, and said it had settled with Luxwell Investment, which had also agreed to accept their compensation. Such sincerity had helped to ease public perception of Webbex, which had struggled to return to its previous state.

Trust needed to be nurtured step by step, but it can be easily destroyed.

Lucia became even busier after that. She personally visited businesses that had previously been interested in working with her, trying to salvage her old partners who were once disappointed to Webbex. She barely went home. What was more, it wasn't even her home.

Spencer had been on edge lately. He hadn't seen Lucia in almost a week. They lived in the same place, but Lucia was like a prophet, and can perfectly miss the time to come across him. She left home early and returned late, leaving no chance for Spencer to see her.

Spencer could have gone to Webbex to find Lucia, but he had a lot on his mind lately. He didn't know if some companies were jealous of Cloudwork. Recently, its business had been robbed frequently. Some cases, which had already reached the stage of drawing up contracts, were still rejected directly by the other party. He was extremely annoyed.

The first person he suspected of doing this to him was Arthur, but after the investigation, Spencer found out that Arthur had no access to these cases, so who did it?

Cloudwork wasn't a random company that Spencer had started. He'd been working for his father for years, and it was his chance to prove that he could stand on his own two feet, and it was a big help to attack Arthur's Branch of Davonnis. In fact, Spencer invested a lot of money and energies at Cloudwork. Now his own efforts were secretly robbed. Naturally he was furious.

This afternoon, he went home from the company and was exhausted. Slumping on the sofa, Spencer felt tired for the first time.

Today, another project worth more than 100 million was canceled by the investor. Spencer had already lost his temper at the company, but the investor only said that he was not willing to cooperate and did not reveal any effective information at all. Spencer had no choice but to get angry with his subordinates.

Ewan saw he was upset, so he csme over to check on him and heard him talking about something strange happened in the company. Then, Ewan came up with an idea,

"Or you can find a friend to pretend to talk business in the company, and then see who comes forward to stop it, so that the initiator will reveal himself."

Spencer heard his words and immediately praised, "Ewan, you are experienced. I did not think of this idea before."

"You're quick-witted and intelligent. You're just over-thinking and can't think of it for a while," Ewan said modestly.

It had been a long time since anyone had complimented his abilities like a kid, and Spencer was in a good mood. When he chatted with Ewan in the living room, Lucia returned home.
