Chapter 636 Looking at Each Other
"Of course." Spencer looked at Lucia gently, as if his eyes were brimming with love. "Lucia worked so hard to give birth to my little princess. Of course, I have to treat her well."
"Well," he said. Marshall laughed, patted Spencer on the shoulder and said, "I know you love Lucia, but there are some things you should be careful about."
Spencer frowned. His eyes darkened, and his tone instantly turned cold. "Mr. Fisher, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't you know?" Marshall, tipsy and convinced that Spencer really had no idea what was going on, leaned over to remind him mysteriously,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"But many people have speculated that your daughter is actually Arthur's daughter. Spencer, your fiancee is so beautiful. You have to be very careful..."
"Nonsense!" Spencer scowled and shouted angrily. "You're slandering me, you know that?"
Spencer lowered his voice, but the anger in his eyes was almost coming out. Marshall realized he had said the wrong thing, and the alcohol wore off. He quickly apologized, "Spencer, that's what I heard. I'm sorry. I'm a little drank today."
Noticing that other people was staring at him when he was speaking with Marshall, and Lucia, who was standing next to him, Spencer could not hide her impatience and whispered,
"Don't I know if the child is mine or not? Marshall, I can let go of what happened today, but you have to help me find out who started the rumor. I'll wait for your good news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Spencer immediately changed into a gentle smile as if he was in a good relationship and patted Marshall's shoulder. In fact, he used much strength, and Marshall felt painful by that.
Watching Spencer and Lucia leaving, Marshall was remorseful by what he had said to Spencer.
Soon after, Spencer and Lucia finally arrived at the table where Arthur and Nia were sitting. Before anyone could get up, Nia took the lead and stood up with the wine glass. She smiled at them, and Arthur hesitated for a moment. Then he got up, too, but he did not touch the glass on the table.
"Lucy, congratulations on giving birth to such a beautiful little princess." Nia said congratulations in front of everyone, but only those who understood her address to Lucia would know how provocative it was. "You'd better call me Ms. Webb," Lucia said in a low voice. She no longer showed her gentle smile, but raised her eyebrows, lowered her eyes, and stared at Nia,
"Pleasant to the ear."
Her words were seemingly casual, but Lucia's domineering aura had exploded.
Nia gritted her teeth, and God knew how much persistence she needed to force herself to look Lucia in the eye.
"That's right. It's better to call her Ms. Webb," Spencer said lightly. "After all, identity isn't something you can ask for just by opening your mouth."
Spencer didn't hesitate to crush the inferiority complex in Nia's heart.
Nia heard that and her eyes changed. Even Lucia looked sideways at Spencer. Lucia was drawing a line between herself and Nia, but she didn't mean to despise her family background. Spencer also looked back at Lucia and smiled, creating the illusion of a "perfect rapport" between the two.
Their conversation was overheard by the other people who were seating at the same table. The four men in front of them had a history that would go on for days and nights. Therefore, they remained silent and continued to sit there, trying to control their expressions. They seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, their ears had already been pricked up.
Not only the people at this table, everyone in the entire banquet looked over, because the four of them were standing in front of each other so abruptly. From afar, all of them wished that they could immediately hear what they said.
"Spencer," as Nia was trying to piece together the words to fight back, Arthur suddenly spoke,
"She's still a guest. Even if Nia is unhappy, you are the one who knows the reason well. Why are you being so aggressive?"
Arthur wasn't going to be nice to Spencer, and as soon as he said that, Nia gave him a grateful look.
Nia felt a sense of dependency in her eyes, which made Lucia suddenly feel suffocated in her chest. And it was very eye-catching.
"Why? When did your relationship with Nia become so good?" Spencer asked with a deliberate chuckle. He wasn't asking Arthur so much as he was telling Lucia.
"There are no absolute enemies in the business world, nor will there be friends forever. Stable Growth has great prospects and potential. Therefore, Nia and I are going to discuss a joint project recently. Is it weird that we're getting closer?" Arthur's sexy thin lips curved up slightly. And his words were spoken lightly.
"A project?" Spencer laughed out loud. "What kind of company is Davonnis Corp? What kind of company is Stable Growth? Do you guys have a partnership? I don't think this is a business partnership, is it?" "Spencer, be careful what you say." This time, Arthur no longer tried to mediate with Spencer patiently. Instead, he lowered his voice directly. And his low magnetic voice did not conceal his authority. Spencer glanced at Arthur nonchalantly and turned to Lucia,
"Lucia, what do you say?"
"It's none of my business. What do I have to say?" Lucia's voice was indifferent.
Spencer's eyes twinkled and he smiled as he said, "It's none of our business, really..."
Arthur avoided making eye contact with Lucia, but after hearing this, he glanced at Lucia and said to Spencer,
"We are all in the industry. It's irrelevant and relevant."
Spencer scoffed mercilessly at Arthur's words, as if he didn't care what Arthur had to say, while Lucia looked down, with her eyes gleaming.
Nia couldn't help but smile and say to Arthur, "Arthur, we came to congratulate Ms. Webb, and now we seem to have gone too far."
Arthur nodded his head gently and said nothing more.
"Ms. Webb, back then, I offended you because I was impulsive. In fact, more than anyone else, I wanted your daughter to be born smoothly. Otherwise, I would have committed an unforgivable crime. This is the gift I give her alone. I hope that she can grow up healthy."
Nia took a gift out of her bag after saying that and handed it to Lucia with a smile on her face.
Lucia slowly looked up. Her pair of eyes were as cold as the ice which can freeze people.
Nia did not care. She was still holding on to the gift, waiting for Lucia to take it.
