Chapter 671 The Third Person

"I've set the signing date for the day after tomorrow. Lucia, do you have time then?"

"Well, yes," Lucia said with a smile, "Of course I have time for Nia's big gift."

Arthur found Lucia's words endearing. Even her mean words could make his heart flutter, but he did not forget what he was about to ask her,

"Lucia, it's almost Christmas. What are you going to do about Teddy?"

"Every year we go back to Brown Manor for Christmas, but this year with Spencer. I don't know what he wants." Thinking of Spencer, Lucia lowered her voice. "Lucia, I have a favor to ask you..." Arthur used the word "favor." Lucia smiled on the other end of the phone and already knew what he was going to say.

"I will arrange for your parents to meet the baby. Don't worry," she promised before Arthur could say anything.

"Lucia..." Arthur's heart softened at Lucia's understanding. He murmured her name, and his suppressed emotions could not help but join in the call.

Lucia was moved, but reason told her not to get emotional, so she said, "We'll be in touch" and hung up abruptly. The call ended, but she was holding the phone in her hand, pressing it against her heart. "Wait for it to pass... Wait for me..." she murmured, not knowing that Arthur on the other side was responding to her.

"Lucia, I will wait for you..."

Time passed quickly. Soon, it was time to sign the contract. The temperature on this day was much lower than usual. The fog in the morning was especially thick. Walking outside would make one shiver uncontrollably, but after nine o'clock the fog slowly dispersed. The warm sun slowly appeared in the horizon, bringing a trace of warmth to the earth.

Nia had dressed up well when she left the house this morning. She put on an elegant dress, wrapped in a light yellow fur coat, and put on exquisite makeup. Today was the day she signed the contract with Arthur.

Nia had a plan, and when the contract was signed, she was going to make a big deal out of it. She was going to go back to the high-class celebrity party, and when she did, she was going to be the center of attention, and Spencer was going to be furious. That was what she wanted.

With Kevin in tow, Nia happily headed to the Branch of Davonnis. When she arrived, she found several senior executives who were specifically there to greet her. This treatment made Nia even more convinced that Arthur valued her.

As she walked along company with the executives and saw everyone looking at her, Nia held her head high like a proud peacock, but her pride didn't last long.

"Ms. Davidson, the conference room is here." The executive opened the door for Nia personally. Nia took a deep breath and walked in. The expression on her face froze when she saw Arthur and the familiar person standing beside her.

Lucia! She can't be here!

Nia's brain seemed to explod when she saw Lucia.

As soon as Nia walked into the conference room, Arthur and Lucia noticed her, and they both looked over at the same time. Their faces were strangely matching and they were smiling gently.

Kevin was just about to warn Nia about a scam when Lucia walked over to them and said with a big smile on her face,

"Ms. Davidson, long time no see."

Ms. Davidson? Upon hearing this, Nia's eyebrows furrowed. Hadn't she been too proud to deal with herself before?

Just as Nia was silently muttering in her heart, Lucia had come to her, with her back to Arthur, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

"Nia, you're finally here."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

When she saw Lucia changing her expression instantly, Nia was even more confused. She was stunned for a long time. After seeing a sneer on Lucia's face, she finally regained some of her rationality and reminded herself not to show weakness in front of her. She lowered her voice and asked,

"What are you doing here?"

Wasn't today her signing date with Arthur?

"I'm here to sign the contract," replied Lucia with a sneer.

Nia was even more confused when Lucia said this. She glanced sideways at Arthur, who was looking down at the documents not far away, and after a moment's thought, she finally realized,

"Webbex wants in?!"

"Of course, Webbex is going to get a piece of this," Lucia said bluntly.

"Mr. Davies didn't mention you were going to be a part of this!" Nia immediately felt cheated.

"I told him to keep it a secret," said Lucia, waving her hand. "Why else would you cooperate with us?"

Lucia said that on purpose. She had thought about it a long time ago. If Nia knew that Webbex Group had invested, she would definitely refuse to cooperate. She might as well say it harshly and frankly so that she would not go back on her word.

"What are you up to!" Nia's frown deepened.

"What am I up to?" Lucia laughed. Her laughter was brimming with contempt and disdain.

"With everything going on with you and Spencer, do you really think I would do nothing?"

"But..." what did this have to do with the project? Nia's head was spinning. If she was concerned, she can just go after Spencer or herself. Why would she want to get involved in the project? Lucia smiled again and did not hesitate to answer her question,

"You must be wondering why I'm doing this. Initially, I didn't have the intention, but when I found out that Arthur wanted to work with you, I was tempted. Firstly, this project is indeed attractive. Secondly, if Spencer knows that the three of us are working together, then how worried would he be? I thought about it and felt happy."

Nia could tell that Lucia wanted to get back at Spencer, even if she believed it, but... shouldn't she hate her too!? Every time she saw her, she was extremely cold. How can she want to cooperate with her! "If you hate Spencer, you probably hate me more, right?" Nia said coldly.

"I was thinking the same thing when Spencer went to prison, but..." Lucia dragged out her sentence and glanced at Nia's eyes,

"After watching that video, it didn't seem like it was all your fault..."

Nia's face immediately flushed with embarrassment as it turned out that Lucia had also watched the video.

"To tell you the truth," Lucia smiled at Nia's expression and read her mind. She continued,

"I still hate you, but as long as it makes Spencer feel bad, I can overlook that little loathing."
