Chapter 656 A Humiliating Reckoning
"Vallentyne is on the border with Mexico. I'm sure Jacob didn't just go there for no reason," Lucia told Otis.
"Are you saying it's possible that he left the country?" Otis asked, pondering the possibility that if Jacob did leave the country. It would be even harder to track him down. Through Mexico, he can go to any country in the world.
"It's not possible. It's certain," said Lucia, who knew Jacob well.
"That's tough..." Otis mused. It was not easy to track down someone who was trying to hide.
"Forget it. At least now I know that Spencer didn't find him first. As long as he lives on this earth, he will be caught eventually." Lucia's eyes were glowing. Jacob, unless he hid forever and never appeared in the country again... Otherwise...
"Don't worry, Lucia. I'll find another way to track him," Otis promised Lucia.
"Otis, if this is going to be difficult for you..." Lucia did not finish when she caught a glimpse of a group of people approaching the building.
"Someone's coming. That's all."
Then she hung up the phone, and when the men got closer, Lucia realized that Spencer was in charge.
He was out?
Lucia raised an eyebrow and stood up slowly. Facing the window, she looked coldly at Spencer and the others who were approaching. After Spencer returned home, he asked a group of servants, with Ewan's order, to follow him to the building.
Along the way, Spencer was furious, and this time, he had to make Lucia realize who he was!
Rushing into the building, Spencer saw Lucia who was standing in the middle of the living room. And she was looking at them leisurely.
In the warm living room, Lucia stood upright. Her delicate face flushed from the heating, and her pair of bright eyes were sparkling. Although she was wearing thick clothes, her elegant figure could still be seen. Seeing Lucia in such good spirits, Spencer was even angrier as he looked tired and disheveled.
"Lucia, you've had a good time at home while I was in prison," Spencer said through gritted teeth.
"Of course," said Lucia, looking Spencer up and down, with a chuckle. "It's a lot more comfortable without you."
Spencer was so desperate to get back at Lucia that he didn't even have time to clean himself up when he got home. Sensing the sarcasm in Lucia's words, he took a few steps forward and ran right up to Lucia. He looked down at her and said,
"As my fiancee, don't you worry about me?"
"Worry?" Lucia was fearless. She wasn't nearly as tall as Spencer, but she didn't lose to him in terms of aura. She smiled,
"You think I'm worried about a rapist?"
"I haven't been convicted yet!" Spencer snapped.
"You haven't convicted just because Nia let you off the hook, but everyone knows what you did," Lucia retorted. Seeing that Spencer was red-eyed with anger at her words, she frowned and added, "And what are you doing here?"
As soon as he heard Lucia's words, Spencer regained the sense he had lost in his anger. He immediately looked away and asked Lucia,
"My dad asked you for help, and even if you didn't, why did you scold him?!"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"He deserves it!" Lucia realized that Erik was behind it, but she didn't mince her words and admitted,
"Why don't you ask him why I scolded him?"
"Because you hate me, take it out on him!" Spencer said angrily.
"Ridiculous," Lucia said, raising her eyebrows and staring coldly at Spencer.
"That's a different matter. I never thought that my grudge with you would involve someone else. If I wanted to vent my anger, your father wouldn't be able to end up well. The reason why he deserves to be scolded is that he came to me and asked me to replace Amasun's shares with Webbex's as a condition of exchange with Nia! Spencer, you and your father are two peas in a pod. Everything you do is selfish!" Spencer's eyes changed when he heard that. He had no idea that his father was after Lucia for shares of Webbex Group, and Spencer knew what that meant to Lucia.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Lucia didn't let him off the hook and continued,
"If it weren't for his age, I would have scolded him even more harshly. Not to mention that your father dared to mention that I, as your fiancee, have to give everything for you. It's ridiculous! Even if you and I have nothing against each other, what kind of stupid woman in the world would save a man who cheated on her with another woman?!"
Spencer choked and couldn't say a word, but he couldn't let it go, because she wasn't saving him!
He knew she didn't love him, but Spencer still couldn't get over how indifferent she was.
"So, you didn't try to save me in the first place?"
"Of course!" These words were sonorous. "You made the mistake so why should I save you?!"
"Lucia, don't forget that you're my fiancee!" Spencer's anger flared again. Lucia's words were so cruel that he almost roared,
"Even if I do something out there, you're still my woman!"
Spencer's words made Lucia very unhappy, especially with the ridiculous possessiveness of his words, which she retorted without thinking.
"Your woman? Spencer, do you think you have the right to say such a thing after all the mistakes you've made? Do you really think that Esmae doesn't know what you've done?"
At the mention of Esmae, Spencer's eyes changed. He had been in prison for so long that he almost forgot to think about how Esmae would react if she found out.
Seeing the hesitation and apprehension in Spencer's eyes, Lucia laughed,
"Spencer, I'm afraid you're not going to be my fiance for much longer."
"What do you mean?!" asked Spencer anxiously. Had Esmae already told Lucia something?
Seeing that Spencer was obviously anxious, Lucia despised him to the utmost. The expression on the face of a person who only knew how to pursue profit was really disgusting, so she continued, "Do I have to explain what that means? Spencer, you're not stupid. Just think about it."
