When Lucia and Spencer looked at each other, they were both surprised they were at home this time.

Lucia felt hapless as if she had stepped on dog poop. She remembered that Spencer was supposed to be at the office at this time, and she came home early because of some personal matter. She didn't expect to run into him.

After a few seconds of silence, Lucia did a move that made Spencer so angry. She turned around and tried to get out!

"Ms Webb!" cried Ewan who stopped Lucia in her tracks. Then he went up to her and said,

"It's rare that you came back so early today. The cook has prepared a lot of nutritious food tonight. We're just about to eat now. Would you like to go to the dining room for dinner?"

Lucia frowned slightly, sighed and turned back. "No," she said. "I'm not hungry."

Ewan let her sit down to dine with Spencer? She'd rather eat fast food on roadside!

"Ms. Webb, you are his fiancee after all. Ever since you moved in, you have been busy with work. It is not easy for you to have a chance today. Please stay at home for dinner," Ewan tried to persuade her, and had already stood behind Lucia, as if to prevent her from opening the door and leaving at any moment.

Lucia didn't say anything, but just wanted to leave.

"Ewan, let her go. She doesn't think of this place as her home anyway." From the sofa, he could clearly sense Lucia's indifference. Spencer's anger was rising as he tried to please her again and again. She didn't take it at all but was rude to him. Even Spencer was impatient.

"Ms. Webb," Ewan said in a low voice, "His company has been going through some things recently, and he's in a bad mood. Can you at least take care of him?"

On hearing this, Lucia was a little interested, turned around and said lightly, "Then let's eat."

"Yes, Ms. Webb!" Ewan was very happy. Although Lucia was not nice to Spencer, he knew that Spencer really liked this woman. She was willing to have dinner with him. He believed that the Spencer's mood would improve.

Ewan quickly went to the dinning room to prepare. Lucia slowly followed him. Spencer did not know how Ewan persuaded her to stay, but he was very happy.

As he entered the dining room, Spencer saw that Lucia had taken her seat, so he went across the table from her and sat down. They sat across the table from each other, and Ewan immediately told the servants to start serving them.

Spencer grew up in USA and his diet was based on its style. He was very satisfied about what Ewan prepared for the dinner tonight.

After eating, Spencer asked Lucia across the table, "Lucia, do you like the food tonight?"

Lucia glanced up at Spencer and smiled wryly. If it was Arthur, he would have prepared her favorite dishes without asking.

When she thought of Arthur, Lucia hated Spencer even more. She sneered and said, "I heard something happened at your company. Tell me."

What Lucia really wanted to say was she was happy about what happened at his company.

"Well, there's an unknown force that's been working against me lately. Cloudwork has lost a lot of big business, and I'm working on it," Spencer said, not hiding anything. He was even glad Lucia asked about that.

"You make a lot of enemies, don't you?" Lucia said flatly.

"The marketplace is a battleground," Spencer said proudly. "Cloudwork is very influential now, and it's going to be coveted by some of the smaller players."

"Smaller players?" Lucia wondered to herself if Arthur had done this, so she said to Spencer with a faint insinuation,

"You know the type."

Spencer's movement with his cutlery stopped for a moment. How could he not hear Lucia's sarcasm towards him? An unknown anger rose in his heart. He said,

"I suspect it was Arthur."

She insinuated he was a small player? So was Arthur!

"Not him," Lucia answered affirmatively, without a moment's hesitation.

"You're so sure?" Spencer sneered.

"If Arthur makes a move..." Lucia looked up slowly, with a sharp light shooting out of her eyes. She enunciated each word and said, "Your Cloudwork won't exist anymore." "You!" Enraged, Spencer slammed a fork on the table and said coldly, not expecting Lucia to belittle him so much,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Don't you forget who you are! You're my fiancee, and you dare talk about Arthur in front of me!?"

"Weren't you the one who brought him up first?" Seeing Spencer's red face, Lucia leisurely put the food into her mouth and said slowly.

Spencer choked on Lucia's words, feeling like he was about to make himself a fool.

He was confident of his eloquence, but whenever he argued with Lucia, he was always at a disadvantage, and he was furious.

Looking down, Lucia didn't want to talk to Spencer, but she began to wonder who was targeting Spencer and who had the ability to pull it off. Somehow, she thought of Reynolds. Was Reynolds staying behind to get to Spencer?

After controlling his emotions, Spencer picked up the fork again. To distract himself, he mentioned something he had long wanted to do to please Lucia,

"Lucia, now that you've recovered all of Webbex Group's assets, let's start rebuilding Webbex Manor. You don't like what Jacob did to it, do you?" "No," Lucia refused flatly.

"Why?" Spencer thought Lucia would be tempted.

"No reason," Lucia said lightly. "When Jacob is caught, I'll deal with it myself."

Lucia looked up at Spencer.

Of course she wouldn't say that she had been talking to Arthur about restoring Webbex Manor not long before Theodore got sick, but then... ! She would never let Spencer be a part of this! Spencer thought Lucia was just complaining about hiding Jacob, so he said,

"It's true that I can't hand him over to you now, but I can assure you that his life is very bad. He's been living in fear every day. This is my punishment for him to you."

Her eyes grew cold and Lucia snorted. "The punishment he deserves is to pay for Poppy's death!"

"One day." Spencer gave a gentle smile, like a criminal who seduced a child with candy, pretending to be nice when he was on the wrong side.

Hearing this, Lucia was utterly disgusted, especially by Spencer's fake gentle smile.
