Chapter 701 Another storm

"He must have been desperate, because mom loves you so much, and she even agreed to let you take the baby to the Davies Manor first. He was so worried that mom is going to change her mind that he couldn't wait to mess it up," Reynolds said.

"And it was just one phone call that made mom so mad," Helena said, looking worried and leaning on Lucia's shoulder.

"Lucia, we're going to have a harder time."

Lucia quietly became less angry. A faint smile appeared on her lips. She patted the back of Helena's hand and said,

"Even though Spencer did it on purpose, he did do something Otis didn't do because he was worried. That is calling. Helena, he misses you."

Helena's cheeks blushed slightly when she heard this.

"It's rare to see Helena being shy," Reynolds teased. "Otis sure has a way with her."

"Reynolds!" Enraged, Helena turned and punched Reynolds in the waist.

"It's a good thing the Davies family doesn't have a daughter, or Reynolds and I wouldn't have survived," said Shawn, with a serious look on his face, as Helena and Reynolds began to fight. When Shawn said this, Lucia's eyes widen, and Reynolds and Helena froze.

"Shawn, are you... serious?" Reynolds, who was the first to respond a long time later, asked, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"What? Am I wrong?" Shawn asked with an equally serious expression.

Helena couldn't hold it in any longer. She threw herself on Shawn and snorted uncontrollably, muttering,

"Oh, Shawn, you are..."

"What's wrong with me?" Shawn, who was usually aloof, couldn't get why they laughed. He just told them the truth.

"It's okay, Shawn. Keep it up," Lucia said, laughing at him.

Just as Lucia and the others were laughing, Spencer looked at them numbly on the stairs on the second floor and stopped walking.

Wherever he went, he seemed to have become the object of disgust. Spencer suddenly did not understand since when did he become like this?

"Spencer, come into my study." Just as Spencer was puzzled, Esmae came out of the study, said to him when she saw him, and turned around to go back. Spencer looked down and turned to Esmae's study.

"Have a seat," Esmae said as soon as she saw Spencer.

"Ms. Wilson," Spencer said as he sat by her desk, looking at Esmae. "I want to ask you seriously, have you gone soft?"

"Soft on what?" Esmae asked, feigning ignorance.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"I still don't understand why you agreed to let Lucia go to the Davies Manor," Spencer said, half ruefully,

"Do you know how happy she was when she went to the Davies family and made out with Arthur in front of me? Ms. Wilson, what are you..."

"If I had gone soft, you wouldn't be sitting here right now," Esmae said, glancing at Spencer.

"Then why did you..." Spencer frowned.

"Because you're useless!" Esmae said coldly. "I've hurt her over and over again. I can only make it up to her. Spencer, do you really think I don't know what you've done?"

"Ms. Wilson, we've already discussed this. I've admitted my mistake. If you let Lucia off the hook because of me, I'd rather you didn't forgive me!" Spencer's tone was also harsh.

Esmae hadn't expected Spencer to say something like that. She turned her back on him until Spencer couldn't take it anymore and looked away.

"The grudges between the Davies family and I are inextricably linked. I won't ever be able to let go of them, so Lucia and Arthur have always been impossible. You don't have to worry about this at all. No matter how much she and Arthur yearn for each other, as long as I'm around, it's impossible! And all I ask of you is that you treat Lucia well. If you can't do that, then why should I keep you?!"

"Ms. Wilson, you're so relieved," Spencer said, undeterred. "All you care about is what I did. What do you know about what Lucia did? Did you know that Webbex Group is already with Branch of Davonnis?" Esmae winked and asked Spencer,

"She's working with Arthur?"

"That's right, and it's a three-way deal with Nia in the middle!" Spencer said angrily,

"Who do you think they're working with?!"

Esmae didn't respond. She did just find out.

When Esmae didn't say anything, Spencer continued,

"They're after me! Lucia hates Nia so much that she can't work with her, but she'll do anything to make me feel uncomfortable! She has your understanding. What about me? I have accepted her and Arthur's child. How much more will I have to bear?"

Spencer's words were full of indignation, but Esmae didn't care, because he had brought it on himself. But if Lucia was working with Arthur, she couldn't let it go.

"Go and ask Lucia over," said Esmae at last.

"I'm on my way!" Spencer was waiting for Esmae to show up. As soon as he got her answer, he got up and walked out. He came to the stairs and shouted at Lucia, who was still chatting with Shawn and the others.

"Lucia, Ms. Wilson wants to see you in her study right away."

With that, Spencer stood on the stairs and looked at Lucia coldly.

As the laughter faded, Shawn and the others looked worriedly at Lucia, who calmly handed the baby to Helena and said,

"Helena, take care of the baby for me. I'll be right back."

"Lucia, be careful. Spencer must have said something to Mom," Helena said worriedly.

"It's all right," said Lucia calmly, though she felt uneasy. "I'll know when I get there."

As Helena and the others looked at her worriedly, she walked up the stairs. When she passed Spencer, Lucia gave him a cold glance. Spencer raised an eyebrow and teased her,

"Why? Is there a reason to be nervous? Or is there something you're not telling Ms. Wilson?"

"Spencer," Lucia slowly turned around. Her bright eyes were filled with coldness. "I advise you not to try to provoke me. I've already told you. You're not the only one with a sharp tongue. Besides, you're an outsider."

"I'm not an outsider," Spencer said with an exaggerated shrug. "I'm your fiance. Your daughter's 'father"!"
