"Arthur, keep up the good work. I hope you stay in Athegate when Lucia and I's baby is born."
Arthur paused, and turned back slowly. His eyes were blazing with hatred toward Spencer, who, in turn, was even more pleased with himself.
"Mr. Davies, let's get out of here," Kyle said as he was afraid Arthur would lose control.
After staring at Spencer for a few seconds, Arthur finally suppressed his anger and turned to leave. As soon as he walked out of the villa, Spencer was so happy that he immediately stood up and muttered excitedly,
"Finally, he lost his mind! It was worth it. It was worth it!"
Ewan was also happy for Spencer and complimented, "This time, we are successful."
"It's worth the effort. Arthur, just see the development project fail," Spencer said maliciously.
Outside, just past the front lawn, before Arthur could get into the car, Kyle couldn't help but complain,
"You are too pompous..."
"What's wrong? Didn't I act well?" Arthur glanced at Kyle. Under the moonlight, the hatred in his eyes was gone. Instead, there was a sense of confidence in his strategy.
"Good, but it's pompous," Kyle said as he opened the car door for Arthur.
"So be it," Arthur said, bending over the car and laughing. "Spencer will believe it."
The car drove away from the villa. Who would win and who would lose, the outcome was uncertain.
Because of Spencer's shenanigans, the development project of South Sea was shut down, and for a week, Spencer was in a good mood.
Lucia heard about it from Kane, but she wasn't in a hurry, because she believed in Arthur.
Who was Arthur? If he hadn't reacted, it must have been on purpose. It was not out of his control, and Spencer wouldn't have been able to get away with it for long. Right now, Lucia had other things on her mind.
Recently Athegate's entertainment magazine found a new gimmick on Arthur and his new girlfriend, Lola.
For nearly a week, Arthur had carried Lola with him at every important event, and although Arthur had not responded positively, the rumor that Lola was his current girlfriend had become self-evident. Lucia was engaged to Spencer, and Arthur's new romance was expected and talked about.
Not to mention the public, the most surprising person was Lola herself.
Ever since Arthur returned from missing for two days, his attitude toward her had completely changed. There was no need to mention his gentleness. Most importantly, the way he looked at her had also changed. There was always a hint of ambiguity and tenderness in his eyes. Lola was overjoyed.
So when Arthur invited her to an important dinner or meeting, Lola dressed up and followed him around like she was his girlfriend.
Spencer had mixed feelings after reading the reports.
He hoped that Arthur would not forget Lucia, that he could use Lucia to stimulate him. However, he hope Arthur would start a new relationship, so that Lucia would see that the man was not reliable and that his long-term love was all fake.
With changeable mood, Spencer can't help but ask troubles for Lucia.
One day, as soon as Lucia returned from work, Spencer was already waiting for her on the couch.
When Lucia saw Spencer, she frowned. He was waiting for her. Nothing good could come of it. As she expected, Spencer immediately said,
"Lucia, come and sit down. Haven't we talked in a while?"
"What do I have to talk to you about?" said Lucia disgustedly.
"Why? Can't we just talk about Arthur?" Spencer said bluntly.
"What are you trying to say?" Lucia's frown deepened at the mention of Arthur.
"You don't know about him and Lola, do you?" Spencer said sarcastically, lounging on the couch,
"You're so focused on him, but he's not."
"So what?" Lucia replied coolly.
"Nothing, it's just not worth it," Spencer said, leaning against the couch and glancing at Lucia,
"You've always rejected me because of him. You've never looked at me in the eye, and you've even protected his child with all your might. Now that he's found a new girlfriend. Lucia, why are you doing this?" Lucia pursed her lips and smoothed over Spencer's words before replying,
"Even if Arthur falls in love with another woman, Spencer, I would never fall in love with you. Not to mention looking at you, living with you every day in the same house makes me feel sick and nauseous! If it weren't for your bone marrow, I'd fly to the furthest corner of the world and never have to look at you again!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Lucia was sharp-tongued because Spencer. Coincidentally, she had hit on the one thing he cared about most. "Lucia!" He wanted to warn her that Arthur was not a good man, but he had been insulted. Spencer was furious,
"Don't you be ungrateful! I broke you up to get back at Arthur. Now? Arthur has a new woman. If I let you go now, will Arthur still want you? Yes, you shut me out, you didn't let me touch a finger, but would Arthur see it that way? Now that I've let you out, he'll only see you as a woman I've played with!"
Spencer thought that Lucia would retaliate in anger, but after hearing his sarcasm, Lucia just stood there and looked at him intently. Then, she looked at her lips, which were already biting into each other's. Spencer's heart skipped a beat and he regretted it.
Lucia's eyes that had always been shining light, now were covered with layer of mist. She was about to cry, which looked pitiful.
Spencer was in love with Lucia, and his heart softened when he saw the look in her eyes. But before he could say anything to make up, Lucia said,
"Spencer, you're right. Maybe I'm just another woman to Arthur now... Even so, for Teddy's sake, I don't regret what I've done, but my hatred for you, Spencer, you remember, my hatred for you will last a lifetime!"
With that, Lucia turned and ran upstairs. Spencer didn't even have time to call out to her.
Watching Lucia disappear down the stairs, Spencer clenched his fists in frustration and slammed them into the sofa. Why did he say that?!
Why would he say something like that when he could have shaken her attachment to Arthur!
Spencer really hated his mouth right now.
