Chapter 618 Rejection after rejection

At the mention of her daughter, Lucia's defence rose like thorns. She took a few steps back to protect her in her arms and snapped,

"She's not your daughter!"

Seeing Lucia's defensiveness, Spencer was even more upset and sneered,

"If she's not my daughter, then whose is she? Even if you don't let me near her now, when she grows up, she'll definitely try her best to please me as her 'father' and beg for my love. You won't be able to stop her then."

"I won't let you get that far!" Lucia growled from the bottom of her heart, but she remained calm on the surface, staring coldly at Spencer.

Seeing Lucia's bright eyes grow colder and colder, Spencer felt a little bored. Didn't they ever have a chance to talk again? In Hurg, in Paris, she was willing to walk and talk with him, but now? The depression in his heart couldn't stop surging. Spencer looked at Lucia and said softly,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Lucia, can't we make peace? If you're willing to love me, I can give you Jacob. I can treat Teddy well unconditionally. I can be good to you. I can be good to your daughter. Isn't that a better choice?" Spencer's words made Lucia laugh. She didn't even want to refute him, because Spencer had brought it up countless times, and every time he did, his threats only got worse, more and more shameless. Besides, it was impossible for her to love him!

Even if Lucia didn't say anything, Spencer had the answer in her eyes.

Self-deprecating, Spencer scolded himself to be bewitched again by this woman.

"That's not going to happen," Spencer sneered. "Let's talk about Nia."

"Aren't you full of yourself? You need to talk to me about dealing with Nia?" Lucia scoffed.

"As you know, Nia cried to the media about how I threatened her, so I couldn't do anything. But if it is Webbex... I'm sure everyone would understand." Spencer raised his eyebrows and said what was on his mind.

"Don't even think about it. Webbex is not going against anyone." Lucia frowned. Spencer wanted to use Webbex to attack Stable Growth. Nice try! It was her father's work, and she would never risk it to help Spencer.

"I don't believe that there isn't a trace of anger in your heart. Nia has been spreading rumors about you and Arthur all over the place, slandering your character. The upper class has long regarded you as a fickle woman. Are you just going to let this happen and let Nia go wild with pride?"

"Nia has hate in her heart," Lucia said coldly to Spencer as she placed the sleeping baby in the crib,

"She won't think big. She won't be able to get very far. Besides, she's just talking now. If she doesn't attack Webbex, why would I 'help' you deal with her?"

Spencer was speechless by Lucia, once again to see the two were not in the same chain of interests.

"If you don't like her, do it yourself," Lucia turned and gave the order coldly. "I'm tired. I want to rest. Go out."

Lucia's casual words seemed to send away someone she didn't care. Spencer got upset and wanted to grab her hand, but Lucia dodged the next second. Spencer was furious, thinking that he can't hold on to a woman who just had a baby? He reached for her again, but this time his hand was caught just as it was raised.

Enraged, Spencer turned to see that the man holding his hand was one of Lucia's four bodyguards. He was tall, bearded, and his eyes were fierce.

"What do you want?" Gene asked Spencer coldly.

Spencer couldn't beat him physically, but he couldn't lose his momentum. He took his hand back and roared,

"Who are you to interfere in my conversation with my fiancee?!"

"Do you have to do this?" Gene asked coldly.

Turning away from Spencer, Lucia said to Gene, "Ask him to leave. If he doesn't, knock him out and drag him away."

Gene had always been a man of action. When he heard Lucia's words, he immediately raised his hand and made a hand-knife gesture. Spencer had suffered from Lucia, and after a few setbacks, he fled from the room.

"Lucia, don't be too arrogant. If you keep protecting the child, one day she will still fall into my hands. Just you wait and see!"

Unreconciled, leaving the threat, Spencer glanced at Gene with trepidation and left in a huff.

As soon as Spencer left, Lucia's cold face lit up with a smile and fatigue.

Gene saw that Lucia was tired and asked her, "Lucia, did Spencer just threaten you again?" He couldn't understand the language they spoke, but he could clearly see Spencer's rampant attitude.

Lucia looked at her daughter in the crib and replied in a low voice, "He wants to use the baby."

"Lucia, why don't you just go back to Arthur? I'm sure he can solve all your problems for you."

"I knew I could depend on him," Lucia said with a wry smile. "But there are some things I could only rely on myself in that situation, and when I could, even Arthur, I would not become a woman who could only depend on him."

"You're stronger than most women I know, even most men..." Gene couldn't help admiring.

Lucia gently shook her head and smiled helplessly. Her strong and proud character was cast with blood and tears.

Thinking of something, Lucia looked at Gene and asked seriously, "Gene, out of the four of you, you are the only one who is married and has a daughter, right?"

"Yeah," Gene said, with his eyes brightening at the mention of his daughter. "My Lily is nine years old."

"So you must understand the determination of parents to do everything for their children," Lucia continued.

When Gene heard this, his smile faded a little. He stared at Lucia intently and asked, "Lucia, what are you trying to say?"

Gene was sensitive. Lucia smiled and said what she wanted,

"Gene, you've known Spencer for almost a year. He's a lunatic. Anything that happens to me and the baby could be dangerous. And if anything ever happens to us, I want you to protect my baby first, no matter what I'm going through."
