Chapter 712 Aggressive

Seeing Esmae's hesitation written on her face, Spencer was even more defiant.

"For so long, you've been using me as a tool. You've always maintained the image of an elder in front of others. I'll bear all the blame behind your back. Ms. Wilson, do you really think I'm a fool?" Esmae calmed down quickly. She stared at Spencer and asked,

"So, what do you want now?"

"I don't want anything. I just want what I deserve!"

Esmae smiled when she heard his aggressive tone. She asked Spencer,

"As you can imagine, I did forget the promise I made to you in the first place, but it was you who made it."

Spencer's eyes widened in disbelief as he sneered, "Me?"

"I promised to help you in the first place, but look what you've done since then? Yes, you succeeded in breaking up Lucia's relationship with Arthur, but did you treat Lucia as you said you would? Cheating! Rape! Spencer, you have every right to be. How can I help you with your wishes when you're so bad! What Chris said to you was brilliant!"

Esmae scolded Spencer, but Spencer felt that she was backing out of her promise. He looked at her coldly, no longer showing any respect for Esmae. Instead, he asked her indifferently, "So you despise me?"

"You know what you are!" Esmae said bluntly, but Spencer's next words made her hesitate.

"Do you still need me to curb Lucia and Arthur's relationship? If I'm right, Lucia will give you an answer that will make you very angry when your deadline for her arrives in three days." Esmae frowned, and Spencer went on gloomily.

"Based on my understanding of Lucia, since she can work with Nia graciously, her goal must be not simple. She won't listen to you and end her relationship with Arthur obediently. At that time, the two of them will meet every day and rekindle their relationship. Your authority is not the only thing at stake. Once they get back together, will you still be able to suppress Helena's feelings for Otis? Both of your daughters will be married to the sons of your enemies, and then the Davies family will instigate. Do you still want your daughters?"

Esmae's eyes darkened, and Spencer knew he was on to something.

"I don't really want much. I just want to take advantage of the Brown family to develop the Amasun Group first. When the Amasun Group has enough power to compete with Davonnis Corp, you won't have to put Lucia in a difficult position. I'll take care of everything. Ms. Wilson, you can't blame me for being selfish."

"Spencer, are you threatening me?" said Esmae quietly, after a long silence.

"Threaten?" Spencer gave a pompous smile, and purposely said, "I wouldn't dare. I've just come to my senses. I've always been afraid of doing great things. Only by being ruthless can I be successful. Ms. Wilson, I'm looking forward to your answer."

After the fight with Spencer that day, Esmae had a heavy mood, and although she understood that Spencer was in control of her, what mattered to her was why, at a time like this, he had the strength to stand up to her. And where did it come from?

As the days went by, Esmae didn't respond to Spencer, and Spencer seemed in no hurry to sit around and enjoy life. Just watching Esmae, there was no more awe in his eyes. Finally, the fifth day arrived, this was the day Lucia will go home.

During the day, the three siblings were together with Lucia. There seemed to be endless conversations between them. No one mentioned their parting, but everyone knew that Lucia's calm face was filled with uneasiness.

In the evening, as soon as she had put the baby to sleep, Esmae appeared at her door.

"Lucia, come with me to the study."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lucia sighed, and the time had come.

She told the servant to take good care of the baby, and followed Esmae to her study. As soon as she entered the study, she saw Spencer, who was leaning leisurely on a chair with a half-smile on his face. Avoiding Spencer's annoying gaze, Lucia waited for Esmae to sit down by her desk before choosing a seat far away from Spencer.

"Lucia, have you thought about it?"

For days, Lucia wondered how she would react when Esmae asked this, but now she was silent.

"You must give me an answer before you leave tomorrow," added Esmae.

Spencer could see Lucia's exquisite profile in the corner, staring at her fluttering eyelashes. He could almost read her anxiety and uneasiness from those fluttering eyelashes, and he was delighted. Taking a quiet breath, Lucia finally looked up into Esmae's eyes and answered firmly,

"Esmae, I'm not going to end this. I hope you can understand."

When she got this answer, Esmae looked over at Spencer and saw his "I told you so" smug look. Esmae's face darkened, but she didn't get angry right away. It was all thanks to the fact that Spencer had already "warned" her.

"You've made up your mind, haven't you?" Esmae asked again.

"Esmae... I really can't..." Lucia said to Esmae in a pleading tone.

"I see. You go and get some rest," said Esmae lightly.

Lucia was surprised by Esmae's bland reaction. She widened her eyes and looked at Esmae, trying to read something in her face. Because she had anticipated Esmae's reaction to the countless answers she had given, there was absolutely no scene in it that was so indifferent.

"Esame?" Lucia whispered to Esmae, stifling.

"Now that you've made your decision, don't regret it, and don't hesitate," Esmae said in a calm voice.

As if to encourage her, Lucia grew more nervous. She squeezed her fingers and asked Esmae,

"Aren't you angry?"

"What's the use of getting angry? Will you listen to me?" Esmae asked.

Lucia didn't say anything and looked at Esmae.
