Chapter 710 The Mysterious Lauren

"Lola, what are you talking about?" Arthur asked, amused.

"You are so smart. Guess." Finally feeling relieved, Lola teased Arthur naughtily.

Arthur held the phone, thought for a moment and then asked,

"Have you met Lucia?"

Lola was speechless for a few seconds. "Arthur, why don't you join the FBI?"

Arthur smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that Lola had been feeling guilty about him and Lucia. She had said that as soon as he picked up the phone just now. So, she must have paid her back.

"Otis said that when he was investigating the Amasun Group, he found an FBI prosecutor. Lola, are you involved in this?"

"Arthur, why don't you give me your resume and I'll take it straight to my boss," Lola teased.

"Is she all right? How does she look?" Arthur did not follow Lola's banter and immediately asked about Lucia.

In the video, he couldn't see Lucia's face.

"She's good. She's gentle. She's beautiful," Lola conceded. Arthur's love for Lucia transcended all else.

"And determined."

"That's good," Arthur said, a little relieved, but he knew that Lucia was still struggling. "How are you doing?"

Lola smiled, but deliberately said, "Now remember to ask about me?"

The two classmates hadn't spoken in a long time, and they talked a lot. As they were about to hang up, Arthur remembered something and said to Lola,

"Lola, are you still in touch with Lauren?"

"Lauren Sanchez?" Lola's eyes widened. "Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?"

Apollo Sanchez was a college classmate of Arthur and Lola's. He was handsome, attractive, and tanned, which was why he was often referred to by his female classmates as Apollo. He had only been at MIT for two years at the time. He was later told that he had dropped out because of his family, but only a few of Arthur's closest friends knew the reason.

Lola's reaction was predictable. After all, for Lola, the Sanchez family's "business" was unacceptable.

"There's something I'd like him to look into, but... it's not convenient for me," Arthur said.

"Must be something important to be able to use his power?" Lola asked.

"If I look for him personally, with his personality, he will definitely hold onto this favor. I don't want to get involved with his family too much. Lola, you have a special career. He won't refuse and won't ask for too much from you," Arthur explained.

"Fine, tell me. I'll do it for you," Lola agreed, even though she didn't want to spend too much time with Lauren, no, more specifically, with his family.

Arthur thanked her and told her everything he needed her to do. Lola frowned and had to say,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Arthur, you know the chances of finding out are slim."

"I'm sure Lauren has a plan," Arthur said with a smile.

"Alright, wait for my good news," Lola replied readily. The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. Lola put away her phone and looked at the dark sky. She couldn't help but sigh softly. "Looks like another long vacation..."

Lola's faint sigh filled the air.

On the other hand, Lucia had just returned to the living room when she met Spencer, who had been looking for her. She frowned when she saw Spencer walking towards her.

"Where were you?" Spencer asked as soon as he got closer.

"You saw it, didn't you?" Lucia replied, not caring.

Spencer frowned and muttered, "What were you doing out in the back garden by yourself?"

"What do you care?" said Lucia, raising an eyebrow.

"You!" Spencer's eyes lit up with anger, but a passing guest was reminding him not to lose his mind, so Spencer took a deep breath and said,

"Everyone here knows that you're my fiancee, but we've never been together. What do you think this looks like to others?!"

It turned out that while talking to someone, Spencer had been asked several times why Lucia wasn't with him, and Spencer was a little embarrassed. "What does it matter to me what they think of you?" Lucia remained aloof.

Spencer's eyes turned cold. He suddenly put his hand around Lucia's waist and lowered his voice as Lucia struggled.

"Lucia... you should pay attention to the occasion. If the two of us have a conflict here, what do you think people would think of Mr. and Mrs. Brown?"

Lucia gritted her teeth. As expected, she saw a lot of guests looking at her. She could only endure it. However, she forcefully distanced herself from Spencer and glared at him with wide eyes.

Spencer knew he had Lucia by the short hairs, so he put on a smile and led her to the other guests. Lucia had no choice but to stay by his side and smile politely at them.

With Lucia by his side, Spencer was in high spirits, and he was even more proud of the fact that a number of people had come to talk to him after seeing Lucia. Spencer liked the completely different attitudes from their words.

Just when Lucia couldn't do anything about it, Reynolds discovered her condition, and, needless to say, took Lucia away from Spencer in a few words. She glanced back at Spencer's indignant face, felt relieved, and said to Reynolds,

"Reynolds, thank you. I wouldn't know how to get out of this."

"You just worry too much," Reynolds laughed.

"How can I not?" Lucia smiled wryly. "This is Esmae's most important dinner of the year. I can't spoil it." "Lucia, I know you care about mom's kindness, but..." Reynolds looked at Lucia and said meaningfully,

"You have a long life, and if you're constantly being held hostage by morality, you're going to suffer." Lucia looked into Reynolds' blue eyes and for the first time expressed her feelings for Arthur. "Reynolds, thank you... But..." Lucia whispered, biting her lip.

"But you can't let go of your affection for mom, can you?" Reynolds had already guessed what Lucia was thinking.

Lucia looked down and nodded slightly.

Reynolds smiled and said,

"Maybe I'm selfish. If it's for the people I love, I'd rather sacrifice my family ties."

Unfortunately, she did not give him this opportunity.
