Lola didn't want Arthur to answer right away. As long as he didn't push her away, it was a big step forward, and she didn't miss the chance. Lola put her arms around Arthur's shoulders and buried herself in his neck, greedily to absorb the fragrance on his body, feeling unceasingly satisfied.

"Otis!" On the stairs on the second floor, Juliana was once again furious. "Look! This is what happens when you leave Lola alone! That woman is too scheming!"

Otis was silent. There was an argument downstairs, and he and Juliana came out to check it out. They watched as Lola persuaded Arthur to forget about Lucia.

"No, I can't let Lola get away with this!" Juliana saw that Otis was silent and decided to intervene on her own. She would never let Lola take advantage of him, even if it was a huge fight, but Otis stopped her as soon as she got down the stairs.

"Don't go. Just let them be," Otis said flatly.

"Otis?!" Juliana raised her eyebrows when she heard that Otis was going to stand by.

"This is also a chance to test Arthur's feelings for Lucia, isn't it?" Otis's tone remained muted,

"Their relationship is extremely complicated. Arthur now has ten thousand reasons and opportunities to give up on Lucia. If he gives up, they can start over with each other. If he doesn't give up, maybe one day, he can really wait for Lucia to return."

Otis wanted to see how much Arthur loved Lucia and how much pressure he could take on.

"Otis, sometimes I wonder if Arthur is your brother. Are you using this to test his feelings for Lucia? What if he changes his mind and Lucia comes back?" Juliana did not agree with Otis.

"That only proves that his love is not deep and that he is not worthy of Lucia's trust," Otis replied flatly.

Lucia to her son can bear all the grievances, but also, in order to return to Arthur's side and keep trying, Otis also wanted to test his brother.

Also, it was not appropriate for him to expose Lola's lies or limit her behavior. If he intervened now, Arthur might defend her instead. Otis thought things through very clearly.

"Well, well, well, you just let Lola go! I'm going to leave!" Juliana left the words and huffed back into the room, leaving Otis to keep an eye on Arthur and Lola in the living room.

"Arthur, you mustn't change your mind."

Otis said to himself.

The next day, the welcome party held by Spencer was tonight. He had personally come to the venue early in the morning to supervise it. He had to make sure that the party was extravagant and admired by everyone.

After making sure that everything was all right, he took Samuel and a few of his men to Fragranerde Hall, where, yes, he wanted to visit Arthur himself. This time the taste of victory, he will taste it in front of him.

But Spencer was disappointed, because by the time he got to Fragranerde Hall, Arthur and Lola had already gone to the office, leaving only Otis and Juliana in the house. And Spencer had no idea that Otis was in Athegate.

From a young age, Otis was the most serious of the group of children. He was also the calmest. Everyone had him as their leader. Although they didn't have much contact with him, Spencer had a natural sense of awe for him.

He and his men stopped in the hallway. Spencer stared blankly at Otis, who was standing at the entrance of the living room with his hands in his pockets and his eyes looked cold.

"Otis, you're back from the States?" Spencer asked after a long time.

"Well, I came back because I had something to do. What brings you here today?" Otis asked Spencer with a faint smile on his face.

"Otis, now that you're back, you should know that Lucia and I are throwing a welcome dinner for our unborn baby tonight. I had come to tell Arthur, and of course it would have been better if you will be there." Spencer found his composure, laughed, and said.

Now that the tide was turning in his favor, and everything was going well. Spencer wasn't afraid of Otis any more.

Spencer gave himself a pep talk.

"Sure, Arthur and I will be there," Otis said, smiling as he sat down on the couch. "We haven't seen each other in a long time. Come and have a chat."

Otis had just said something ordinary, but Spencer felt nervous for some reason. However, he didn't show any fear and walked over to sit opposite Spencer.

"Spencer, I heard that Ms. Wilson has taken care of a lot of your businesses. Looks like things are going well for you now," Otis said before Spencer could even sit down.

Spencer looked up at Otis and smiled calmly. "Otis, you're so well-informed. How did you find out so quickly?"

"Spencer, you and your dad have found a good backer," Otis glanced at Spencer and said so. He could hear the sarcasm in his words without even thinking.

Spencer cursed from the bottom of his heart. With his smile still on his face, he said, "Otis, your words are a little inappropriate. The Browns family is willing to cooperate with us because of our own strength. Even if you want to mock me, you shouldn't have doubted the Browns family's judgment, right?"

"That would be great. Ms. Wilson isn't the only one in charge of the Browns family. If you don't do a good job, you might get kicked out." Otis crossed his legs and talked to Spencer with a faint smile. "You seem to have something to say?" Spencer asked unhappily.

"You worry too much," Otis said. "It's just an exhortation. You don't have to listen." owns this text.

"Since it's an exhortation, I'll naturally accept it with an open mind." Spencer hid the doubt in his heart and smiled. "Otis, since Arthur isn't here, I won't bother you anymore. I have something to do. I have to go."

"Leaving so soon? Don't you want to sit for a while?" Otis asked Spencer with a gleam in his eye and a smile.

"No, thank you, Otis." Spencer stood up as he spoke. Talking to Otis always put an invisible pressure on him to leave.

"I won't see you out," Otis said, rising.

Spencer didn't really take his time. He quickly led his men and was about to leave when Otis's voice came from behind him, "Spencer, remember, don't burn your bridges, and don't go too far."
