Chapter 677 Grudges and Entanglements

One table could not hold the grudges and entanglements between four people. Arthur, Lucia, Spencer and Nia were on their own side. The atmosphere was quiet but urgent, like the bottom of a dark lake, without any breathing space.

When Spencer sat down next to her, Nia's hair stood on end. She had to fight to keep from shivering.

The man just opened the door at the moment, staring at her eyes, like evil!

But Lucia didn't seem surprised, or even disgusted. Spencer was sitting across from her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm your fiancé. Of course, I want to celebrate the success of the Webbex Group. I didn't expect to see you at home. I only found out that you're here to celebrate..." Spencer said in a calm voice. Looking at Arthur and Nia, he sneered,

"Like the three legs of a tripod, nice."

"Now that you know it, you know there's no room for a fourth person!" Arthur said coldly to Spencer.

"There's no room for..." Spencer chuckled nonchalantly and said, "I just sat down, didn't I?" After saying that, he turned his head and stared at Nia, who was frozen stiff.

She was afraid of he, and Spencer glanced at Nia's almost clenched hands and the veins that had popped up on the back of her hands. He sneered and thought that was great.

In the face of a common enemy, Lucia seemed to put aside her preconceptions about Nia, and when she saw him staring at Nia nonstop, she said,

"Spencer, why don't you go back? Don't come in here and mess things up."

"How did I come here to mess things up?" Spencer implied. "Nobody here is an outsider."

Spencer's words were like saying Nia was the woman he slept with.

"How dare you say that?" Lucia snapped.

Spencer smiled nonchalantly and finally looked away from Nia. He said to Arthur,

"Arthur, I've just asked the manager to serve the same as you. Do you mind if I join the table?"

This was a private room.

But Arthur didn't mind. He smiled and looked at Spencer,

"Haven't you already sat down?"

Spencer shrugged and looked out the window. "The night view is really nice here, isn't it, Nia?"

When Spencer suddenly mentioned her name, Nia's reaction was predictable. She shivered and almost accidentally knocked the goblet off the table.

Spencer laughed out loud and asked Nia in an exaggerated tone, "What are you nervous about?"

"I..." Nia stuttered, unable to explain why. She kept telling herself that she didn't need to be afraid of Spencer anymore, but every night when she dreamt about it, the image of him torturing her would still come back to her mind. It was a pain that a woman couldn't get rid of, and she couldn't control it.

While Spencer was smugly admiring Nia's fear of him, it was Lucia who stood up again.

"Spencer, come at me. Why are you scaring her?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Spencer said with exaggerated surprise. "Lucia, when did you get so close to Nia? Don't tell me you forgot what she did to you."

Nia lowered her head guiltily, but Lucia ignored his provocation and said coldly,

"Now that she's my partner, you can't mix business with private. We're celebrating our success. You don't have to drive a wedge between us."

"Partner," Spencer murmured, with his eyes darkening as he glanced at the three of them before finally asking,Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Even without me, the three of you wouldn't be able to coexist peacefully. Nia wouldn't have the chance to be equal to the two of you. Now, you're spreading the news that you're going to work together. What are you up to? Do you mind telling me directly?"

"Yes, I do!" said Lucia without hesitation. "You are an outsider. Why should we tell you?"

"Even if I am your fiance?" Spencer repeated her special status.

"Because you are my fiance!" said Lucia through clenched teeth.

For a moment, Spencer and Lucia went head to head across the table, almost bursting out of the room.

Arthur had always been reluctant to talk to Spencer, and the more he kept quiet, the more confused Spencer became, so he simply chose to remain silent, playing with his goblet. No one knew what he was thinking.

Nia, on the other hand, was extremely grateful to Lucia. Although it was never her intention to defend herself, she had to admit that she had drawn Spencer's full attention, and she could take a break. And now that Arthur was here, at last, Nia had regained her composure.

"Spencer, can't you see you're not welcome here?" Nia said as she took a deep breath and turned to look at Spencer.

Spencer heard this and asked her, "You're not nervous any more?"

"I'm not nervous. I just haven't forgotten about your bad behavior, Spencer," Nia said sarcastically as she regained her sanity and the ability of language organization.

"How dare you call me by my name in front of your fiancee. You're so thick-skinned."

"Why are you attacking me?" Spencer shrugged, looking like a ruffian. "I thought we were just talking about business. Why bring up the past? If you hadn't mentioned it, everyone would have forgotten about it." "But I won't forget!" Nia said word for word, recalling her hatred and glaring at Spencer.

Just as Nia and Spencer were going head-to-head, Arthur and Lucia looked at each other and understood.

"Don't flirt with Arthur in front of me. Lucia, watch your identity!" Seeing Arthur and Lucia staring at each other from the corner of his eye, Spencer immediately turned his fire on Lucia. In fact, he didn't want to talk about what he did to Nia.

Lucia turned her head slowly and looked at Spencer coldly. She did not choose words to reply. Instead, she had a perfect smile in front of Spencer's face, which was full of mockery and disdain.

"Lucia!" Spencer was familiar with Lucia's attitude. It was a look that would appear every time she couldn't be bothered with his relationship with her and couldn't get Arthur out of her mind.
