Chapter 660 No defense
Spencer told Esmae that Nia was behind everything and that he hadn't done anything wrong to Lucia, but the more he said it, the more he felt that something was wrong. And Esmae's expression was so cold! Finally, Spencer had no confidence to continue.
"Ms. Wilson... That's what happened..."
"Really?" Esmae took a sip from the Darjeeling black tea without even looking at Spencer.
Esmae was so calm and emotionless, with only flashes of coldness in her eyes, that Spencer didn't know what to say next.
"You know..." as Spencer was in fidgets, Esmae slowly looked up at him and said in a deep voice,
"Although honesty is a good quality, in this world full of dirt, everyone will lie, even me. But some lies are stupid and ridiculous. It's better not to say them so easily."
"Ms. Wilson, I didn't..." Spencer was about to argue when he saw Esmae motioning with her eyes to the servant beside her. The servant picked up a remote control and opened a crystal art painting in front of the living room. The frame was spread out and a huge display was in front of them.
"Honestly?" Esmae asked, looking at Spencer and stopping the servant's next move.
Spencer was distraught. He couldn't figure out what Esmae was doing. He wanted to keep saying he wasn't lying, but he didn't want to risk upsetting Esmae, and he wasn't sure what to expect on the display. He knew that Nia had the video of him raping her, but she would never reveal the video. No woman in the world would dare to make such a sacrifice to reveal her ugliest self to the public.
So Spencer decided to take a gamble.
"Ms. Wilson, I have a clear conscience," Spencer said, forcing himself to look Esmae in the eyes.
As soon as Spencer spoke, Esmae waved her hand, and the servant pressed the play button. For a moment, coarse groans rang through the living room.
Spencer's heart skipped a beat. The blood vessels in his entire body felt numb as if they had exploded. His face turned red instantly, and in the next second, it turned from red to dark and gloomy. He bounced up from the sofa, the doubt in his head exploded like a bomb. Why Esmae had this video!?
While Spencer was hysterical, Esmae sat like a statue on the couch, unresponsive. She didn't ask for the video. Before she found it, it was all over the internet in the country. When she was reading the news about Athegate, she just happened to see it. If it hadn't been for this video, maybe she would have believed Spencer's biased words. After all, he was talking so eloquently!
At this thought, Esmae's pent-up anger slowly overflowed.
"Enough!" The worst part of himself was exposed to Esmae, and Spencer finally snapped. He turned around and yelled at Esmae hysterically.
Esmae raised her hand. Only then did the servant stopped playing. The dirty sound disappeared and the art painting was put back together again, hiding the screen behind itsd back. However, Spencer's evil deeds could no longer be concealed.
The living room was silent for a moment.
Spencer gasped and slumped back on the couch, bowing his head in confusion.
"Now, are you going to tell the truth?" Esmae said coldly.
As soon as Esmae said that, Spencer raised his hand and lowered his head to make a silent gesture at her. He had no dignity left. He needed to be quiet now!
Esmae glanced at Spencer and let out an inelegant chuckle. She said coldly,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Do I have to give you time to cool off?"
"Ms. Wilson, I..." Spencer finally looked up. In just a few minutes, his appearance had changed drastically. He was originally clean, handsome, and polite, and he used to talk to Esmae with fervour and assurance. Now, he was sweating profusely and his eyes were wandering. He was completely different from before.
"I've decided to break off your engagement to Lucia, and from now on, you two will have nothing to do with each other." Esmae announced her decision without waiting for Spencer to finish his words. "What?!" Spencer's head seemed to be exploded.
"Lucia was born into a wealthy family. She grew up well-to-do and has a clean life. After that, she was framed by Jacob. Although she lost everything, she was not discouraged. She got into MIT with her own hard work and returned to the country to fight for everything that belonged to her. She is strong, brave, and kind. Spencer, do you think you are worthy of being with her?"
Esmae's eyes were filled with contempt for Spencer, and no matter what his beef with Nia was, it was not a gentleman's way to treat a weak woman like that!
Spencer's eyes widened at Esmae. At that moment, he realized that Esmae was disgusted with him. As soon as he realized this, he instantly calmed down. The cold sweat slowly faded, and there was maliciousness in his dark eyes.
"Ms. Wilson, you're good at taking advantage of intrigue. Why are you mocking me like this..."
"How dare you!" exclaimed the servant beside Esmae who was frowning slightly. Spencer's words were so rude!
"How dare I?!" Spencer stood up. There were gloom and fury wantonly radiating from him. He smirked at Esmae and sneered,
"I have always been careful with you, humble and courteous. But today you kick down the ladder. Can't I be bold for once?"
"Spencer, do you know what you're saying right now?" Esmae asked coldly.
"Of course I know what I'm saying!" Spencer snapped,
"Ms. Wilson, everything I've done along the way has been because of you. It all started because you wanted to break up Lucia and Arthur. I cooperated. I tried. Is this what it's come to?"
"Yes, in the beginning, I asked you to design a plan to separate the two of them, but you did promise me that you would take good care of Lucia. Is this how you take care of her?!" Esmae also lost her temper, and her voice instantly rose several degrees.
"Did she give me a chance?!" Spencer's voice rose,
"Did you ask her if I tried?! Your goddaughter says it's impossible for me to have sex with her, or am I really going to have a non-sexual life!? Nia already hates me, and this time it was her who provoked me at the christening. I made the mistake when I was drunk. If she hadn't set me up, I wouldn't have been filmed like this!"
