Chapter 678 Tit-for-tat

Spencer's self-esteem was crushed, because now Arthur was right next to her!

"I'm here," said Lucia softly.

Spencer was furious. He had intended to walk into the room with an air of composure, to make a mockery of the three of them, to let them know that he did not care about their collusion, but in the end he was enraged by Lucia. His teeth clenched, and Spencer was too angry to speak.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Spencer's meal arrived.

The waiter walked in with a tray. He became nervous when he noticed the tense atmosphere in the room, especially after Spencer glared at him. He did not know what to do.

"Bring me my things!" Spencer snapped at the waiter.

The waiter shivered and quickly brought the food over. As soon as he put down the plate, Spencer picked up his knife and fork and began the "eating" process. He chewed and made noises, rattling the cutlery. Spencer expressed his anger by his rudeness.

Lucia frowned, with her lips twitching. But she calmed down again, as Arthur held her hand under the table.

Needless to say, Lucia immediately understood Arthur's intentions. She sneered in her heart, chose to ignore Spencer, and began to eat.

Arthur steadied Lucia and looked up at Nia and said,

"Ms. Davidson, eat."

If it hadn't been for Arthur's reminding, Nia would have stared at Spencer in a rude daze.

"Okay," she said, and began to eat with her head bowed, like Lucia.

Arthur caught Spencer's attention as he set down his knife and fork and chewed the steak in his mouth.

"Arthur, you've been good to Nia."

After saying that, he deliberately observed Lucia's reaction. Seeing that Lucia didn't care, Spencer pouted.

"He's so tender and thoughtful. Spencer, you're no match for him." Nia's words killed two birds with one stone, to Spencer and to Lucia.

"Tender and thoughtful?" Spencer relished those two words, then had the audacity to smile and ask Nia,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Well, Nia, have you tried that?"

"Spencer!" Lucia slammed the table and stood up as soon as Spencer said that. The tableware on the table was shaken by her palms. It was obvious how angry she was at that moment. Lucia shouted sternly, "Shut your mouth!"

Although Lucia was on her side, Nia was even happier than Spencer to see her get angry.

"What are you so excited about..." Spencer took a leisurely sip from his glass, and was pleased that he had found something to hold over Lucia's head.

"You and Arthur broke up a long time ago. Does it matter which woman he has a crush on now?"

Lucia's eyes were burning, and she glared at Spencer. The rebuttal was ready, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

This was probably the most ridiculous scene.

If one were to draw a line around the relationship between these four people, it would probably cover every single one of them. Now, they were actually sitting together. Even though they were at each other's throats, they were still in the same room.

"Mr. Davies," Nia said, breaking the silence. She knew it wouldn't be the end of the situation, so she took the lead in saying,

"I'm full. I'm going home."

"What? Are you running away?" Spencer scoffed when Nia said that, "It's rare for the four of us to sit together."

"Sitting next to you makes me sick!" Nia berated him without reservation. She nodded at Arthur, picked up her bag, and left. The door slammed shut, leaving only three people in the room.

Looking at the door that had been slammed shut, Spencer said gloomily, "Nia has the nerve to talk to me like this. Lucia, did you do this to me?"

With that, he turned his head to meet Lucia's irate eyes.

"Everyone is angry at what you did to her, Spencer. Don't think that after a few days of charity, the public will forget your evil deeds. Nia said that she won't forget, and neither will I!" Lucia's voice was low as she glared at Spencer.

"Nia was just a supporting role, and she deserved what I did to her," Spencer said, unapologetically, even promoting his twisted worldview.

"We both get what we want. What's wrong with that? On the other hand, I know exactly what both of you are thinking, but I'm surprised that you would bury the hatchet with Nia. Arthur, Lucia, tell me, what exactly do you want to use her for?"

As far as Spencer was concerned, Nia was only a minor player and couldn't do anything except make a scene. Arthur and Lucia's intentions were what mattered most to him.

Spencer finally stopped teasing her. The anger on Lucia's face dissipated instantly. It was meant for Nia to see. Since the main character had left, there was no need for her to play a supporting role. Slowly sitting down, Lucia sneered at Spencer and said nothing.

Spencer saw Lucia regain her composure, and instantly understood that Nia was indeed her pawn, and his worries deepened. What was she trying to do?!

"We've ordered everything, so let's continue to eat," Arthur, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly after Nia left and took his beloved woman under his wing as a protector.

"Why ask when you know there are no answers?"

"You want to support Nia against me?" Spencer asked, but no one answered.

"With your strength, do you need the small role of Nia?" Spencer asked again. Still, there was no response.

"What are you going to do with her?" Spencer insisted, only to be silenced.

Finally, Spencer lost his cool. The two sides were clear, and he and Lucia were clearly on opposite sides. This realization made him so angry that he raised his hand and swept all the tableware that was within reach on the table to the ground. The sound of porcelain cracking suddenly sounded extremely harsh.

He stood up abruptly and glared at Lucia. "Fine," he said. "If you won't talk, then come home with me right now!"

"I'm not full yet," said Lucia at last.

"Eat at home!" Even if he couldn't completely cut her off from Arthur, Spencer had to claim her as his own woman!

"The food at home is not as delicious as here..." Lucia said quietly. The hint in her words could not be more obvious.

Arthur's mouth curved when he heard the words "delicious".
