Chapter 650 Ridiculous
"Lucia, you are Spencer's wife. How can you be so cold to his affairs?" Erik said unhappily.
Lucia chuckled and asked Erik, "Do you know why he's in jail?"
Erik was speechless again, too guilty to respond.
"First of all, I'm Spencer's fiancee, and you know damn well why I'm engaged to him, Mr. Davies!" Lucia deliberately put some distance between them, and added,
"Secondly, Spencer was arrested for rape, and I'm nominally his fiancee. No matter how hard I try to defend him in front of the public, I can only be indifferent. Besides, he's not worth defending." To Erik, Lucia was no nice at all.
"That was Nia's intention to frame him. If you don't believe Spencer, who will believe him?" Erik purposely ignored the fact stated by Lucia and blamed Nia. He was sure Lucia hadn't watched the video.
"Mr. Davies, even if Nia did set him up, it's true that Spencer had an affair with her. The police have jurisdiction, but they can't arrest him for no reason. We'll see if he's innocent when the trial comes," Lucia replied.
Being a little impatient, looking out the window of the dark sky, Lucia felt a little cold and very uncomfortable.
"Spencer was framed!" Erik insisted,
"In fact, I just met Nia. She threatened to sue Spencer and demanded that I give her 10% of Amasun Group's shares unconditionally. Her intention is already clear."
Lucia raised an eyebrow when she heard that Nia had the audacity to ask Erik for his shares directly, and it seemed like Jacob had a lot of ambition, but what did that have to do with her?
She said, "Unconditional? As long as you give her the shares, I believe Spencer can be acquitted. The goods are delivered and the bill is cleared. It's not a threat."
Erik was anxious when he heard this. He quickly said, "Lucia, you don't understand the seriousness of this matter. Amasun Group's shares are very important. Nia only wants them to threaten Spencer. I can't let her get away with it!"
"So?"
Lucia wanted to see what Erik was after.
"Nia and Spencer's hatred is for you," Erik began,Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"She may have blamed Spencer, but she had real feelings for him, so if there is another way to make it up to her..."
Hearing this, Lucia had already guessed what Erik was going to say next. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. There really were people who were so selfish!
Spencer and Nia had an affair. Although she didn't love Spencer, she had been betrayed in name, and Erik had the audacity to suggest that he wanted Nia's hatred to be grafted onto her?! "Lucia, do you understand what I'm saying?" Hearing Lucia's laugh, Erik seemed to realize that he didn't have the strength to make such a request, so instead of stating clearly, he asked Lucia. "No," Lucia retorted. "And please be more specific."
Erik was silent for a moment. Lucia could almost imagine the look of annoyance on his face, but she listened patiently to what he had to say.
"Lucia, now that you're engaged to Spencer, his things will be yours, your... is also his. Nia has a grudge against you. Why don't you be generous and discuss it with Nia, and use Webbex's shares as compensation? I'm sure she'll agree to let Spencer go."
This was ridiculous!
Although she had guessed Erik's intention, Lucia couldn't help but be furious when she heard him say these words.
She raised her eyebrows, widened her eyes, and shouted without hesitation,
"You wish! Why should I do this for Spencer's sin?!"
Erik didn't expect Lucia to be so cold, so he said in a cold voice,
"You're already engaged to Spencer, so you should do everything for your fiance. Besides, I heard from Spencer that you've entrusted Webbex to a friend to manage it, which proves that you're determined to serve both the husband and the child. If that's the case, what's the point of giving up a portion of your shares?!"
"You're so brazen-faced!" Lucia's voice was colder than Erik's,
"To serve both the husband and the child? That's only if my husband is a good man. Don't you know how your son is? Why would I want to destroy my father's hard-earned stake in Webbex for a man who threatens me every step of the way? No matter how much Nia hates me, it's still between me and her. However, Spencer has to make up for his own sin. You feel bad for Amasun's shares, and I feel bad for my assets!"
Hearing Lucia's cold words, Erik suddenly felt hopeless. He had really thought that he could persuade Lucia, but he did not expect this woman to be so cruel that she would not even save her fiance. "Lucia, I'm your father-in-law. Is it appropriate that you're talking to me like that?!" The more he thought about it, the angrier Erik yelled into his phone.
"How dare you say such a thing! How dare you call yourself my father-in-law just because of what you asked me today?" Lucia rebuked mercilessly,
"Don't even think about going after Webbex. As a father, you can't bear to part with it. Why should I cede my shares? I advise you to think of another way. Don't plot anything against me!"
With that, Lucia hung up the phone. She would be the only one who would be angry with such a selfish person.
At the other end of the line, Erik looked at his phone, which was beeping blankly. He was in a bad mood because there really was no other way.
Back in the room, Lucia's anger dissipated a little when the warmth returned to her body. But she couldn't help but sneer at Spencer, who had inherited his selfishness from his father.
However, Lucia also knew that Erik would have no other choice but to come to her. And in the end, he would have agreed to Nia's request. After all, Spencer was his only son. If he lost his only son, his "grand project" will probably be postponed indefinitely.
Jacob had to be found quickly. Lucia's hatred of Spencer had grown and she was losing her temper because of Erik.
Despite that she didn't love Spencer, they were still considered to be an engaged couple. And Cloudwork was not the only one involved in this rape case. Even Webbex Group's shares were starting to show a downward trend.
