Chapter 682 Unexpected Encounter

In the report, the writer had suggested that Nia's involvement with Arthur after she was hurt by Spencer led to an affair with him, while Lucia regretted breaking up with him and went behind Spencer's back to get into the partnership.

Of course, the parties involved knew the truth, but the public was the most easily deceived. Seeing such a report, public opinion about Arthur, Nia, and Lucia hit rock bottom. There were even magazines suggesting that Arthur was embracing both his old love and his new one, and that he was irresponsibly confusing the public.

"No wonder they're speculating," said Lucia, who had just read a lot of the public comments that had been reported. Not many of them were rational, which was ridiculous.

"The three of us have a lot to do with Spencer, a lot to do with each other. It's suspicious that we would suddenly work together."

"Is Spencer going to be able to manipulate the media like that?" Kane asked, not expecting Lucia to be so calm.

"From the beginning, Arthur and I never thought that the collaboration would be smooth. No matter what the public thinks of us, the collaboration will not be terminated. Moreover, time will tell. Whether there's any romance or betrayal, they'll know when the time comes. The public will only use our affairs as idle gossip. Don't worry too much about it."

Lucia, who was framed five years ago by Jacob for his use of media, had come to terms with the fact that she can't what other people said, but she had to walk forward on her own. If she lived according to what other people thought, how can she continue?

Hearing Lucia's words, Kane was enlightened. "I was so focused on the comments," he said, "That I forgot you and Arthur have more significant things to do."

"Thank you for thinking of me," Lucia said with a smile, remembering Kane's appearance when he was waiting for her in the lobby. She knew he was genuinely worried about her. "That's what I should do," Kane replied with a smile, and then asked Lucia, "You have to reassure Arthur about this. You know he doesn't care what people think of him, but he does..." Kane didn't finish his words, stopping just in time at the edge of ambiguity.

Lucia's eyes twinkled, and a faint smile crept up her lips.

She understood what Kane meant.

After talking to Kane, Lucia called Arthur. And immediately after the ring, the call got through.

"Lucia." Arthur's voice was warm and tender.

"Have you read the reports?" asked Lucia.

"The lawyer's letter is ready," Arthur replied crisply.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Don't send it. Don't worry about what others think," Lucia said softly, and her heart was warm.

"Are you sure?" Arthur asked Lucia, frowning slightly. He did not want Lucia to suffer.

"Yes," Lucia said without hesitation, using simple words to communicate.

Arthur sighed, and Lucia heard the sound that he was tapping the phone. Then she heard him ask Kyle to withdraw all of the legal letters. All of them, not just one.

To be cared for was a great happiness, and Lucia can appreciate it now, though she can not respond.

"I have withdrawn," said Kyle, before Arthur spoke to Lucia again.

"Well, I'm leaving for USA tomorrow. Esmae has promised to let me take the baby to see your parents. The flight is..." Lucia blurt out the flight number. As soon as she said it, she heard Arthur tapping the phone again and asking Kyle to book a ticket on the same flight.

Lucia can't help but smile. Can't this guy wait? Lucia, however, worried that she had more to say.

When she heard Arthur put down the phone, Lucia said to him,

"But Esmae made me promise to let Spencer accompany me the whole time and that he would go with me."

"No surprise there," said Arthur blandly, who had expected Esmae to do so, and whose temper made it impossible for her to promise to take the baby alone to the Davies Manor to visit the elders. "Spencer will pick a fight with you. You have to be ready," Lucia said.

"Pick a fight?" Arthur smiled. "If he can."

"Looks like your brothers are all going to be together, huh?" As soon as she heard Arthur's words, Lucia immediately thought of Bailey, Spencer's enemy. With him around, Spencer probably won't even have time to pick a fight.

"Yes, we're waiting for you." Although Arthur's tone was light and he only said a few words, it contained warmth.

"Okay." Lucia had a smile and responded sweetly.

The speculation about the relationship between Arthur, Lucia, and Nia caused an uproar in Athegate, but just as the story was going viral, two of the people involved had quietly left Athegate. Nia was left alone to face the reporters.

Nia was furious when the reporters chased her home. She asked Kevin to transfer all the security personnel from the company to her apartment and chase them away as soon as they saw people similar to the reporters. She was no longer the Nia who was so scared by the reporters that she had to hide at home.

On the other side, Jack and Lucia were inseparable, and Spencer had no choice but to help them book a flight together. But Spencer arranged for them to fly economy class on the ground of ridiculous tight budget. He was vindictive and wouldn't miss even the tiniest bit of chance.

However, Spencer didn't expect that, just on the plane, he not only met Arthur who had already sat in his seat, but also had to face Jack and the other guards who upgraded the economy class to first class. "Mr. Davies, you don't have money, but we do," Victor scoffed as he settled comfortably into his seat around Lucia.

Spencer became a mute victim but didn't bother argue with Victor. What he now most cared about was why Arthur was also on this flight!

Why? Did he still have to guess?!

As soon as Lucia had adjusted her baby's comfortable sleep angle, Spencer confronted her,

"Did you give Arthur the flight number?!"

Lucia glanced at Spencer and admitted without hesitation, "So what?"

She didn't care to hide anything. She loved Arthur so much and wanted Spencer to know that!

Once again, Spencer was at a loss for words.
