Chapter 716 Jealousy

Nia stopped when she heard the word "feelings". She stared at Jacob's back silently until he realized that she wasn't following him and turned around to ask,

"What's wrong?"

"You said... you have feelings for her?!" Nia asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong with that?" Jacob asked calmly, smiling.

"You're still in love with her!" Nia didn't forget that before Jacob's accident, he went back to Lucia behind Poppy's back and she signed for all the flowers he sent to the office! "You're overthinking it," Casper explained, shrugging off the impatience.

"The feelings I'm talking about are deeper than hatred. Lucia was my ex-wife to begin with. No matter what, we had been a couple for almost a year. When she came back, I admitted that she became even more outstanding and dazzling than before. That's why I fell for her again at that time. You should know about the pursuit of her. But in the end, all she did was take everything away from me and force me into a dead end. Hatred is no longer enough to express my resentment towards her. Can you understand such complicated feelings?"

After hearing Jacob's words, Nia pursed her lips and no one knew what she was thinking.

"If I'm still in love with her," Jacob added, "I am, but it's not her. It's the JTP Group that I've worked so hard to operate for years. If you can't understand that, then I can't do anything about it."

After saying that, Jacob turned to get into the car, but as soon as he opened the door, he was pulled back and turned to look at Nia, who was staring at him sadly.

"Jacob, I'm sorry. I just thought..."

"Don't be paranoid. We're in the same boat now. If we don't trust each other, we're all doomed," Jacob said to Nia, and when he saw her eyes sparkle again, he warned her,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"By the way, Jacob is gone from this world. I'm Casper! Watch your language!"

"Casper, I'm sorry..." Nia apologized pitifully.

As if his heart had softened, Jacob sighed softly, put his head down on Nia's forehead and said,

"Trust me, huh?"

"Well, I trust you." Nia looked into Jacob's eyes and nodded, blushing.

As Nia walked over to the passenger seat, she didn't pay attention to the contemptuous sound Jacob made as she bent over to get in the car.

As the engine roared, Jacob took Nia out of the Davonnis Corp building. On the way back to the apartment, Nia suddenly remembered something and asked him, "Casper, you've been out the last few days and didn't even go to the office. You didn't come back until night. What's so important?"

"Dad left me a few contacts in Athegate, so I just visited them," Jacob replied lightly.

"I see." Nia stopped her initial skepticism and smiled. "Take me to meet them next time."

Jacob glanced sideways at Nia for a few seconds before nodding.

It seemed that Nia really believed in him and was very gullible.

The corners of his lips lifted as Jacob thought about it.

The next day, Kyle handed Arthur a detailed background report on Casper.

"Mr. Davies, this is Casper Wood's background."

Arthur immediately put down his work and began to flip through it. After reading it, he mused,

"He's Miles' son?"

"Yeah, I didn't realize he's such a big shot. Wasn't he the one who was trying to get other companies to shut us out when Bailey came to Lepus? It's a good thing Bailey didn't have much interest in Lepus at the time and opted for Sluacsea. Otherwise he would have been our number one rival for Davonnis Corp by now."

"He's a bully," Arthur said disdainfully. "It's nothing new for him to take advantage of his reputation and reject foreign companies."

"Is it just a coincidence that Casper is his son and that he knows Nia?" Kyle asked worriedly.

"We don't know yet. Go and find out more about Casper in the USA. Nia used to have a good relationship with Lucia, and only Reynolds revealed that she had a relationship with him. Later on, she started dating Spencer. I saw the way she looked at Casper. Their relationship must be more complicated than being friends. Find out where they met and how they met."

Arthur was too thoughtful to miss a single detail.

"Yes." Kyle obeyed and walked out, just as Arthur received an incoming call.

Arthur looked at the number and picked up.

"Lola, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. I've already met Lauren and told him about the investigation. He's agreed to help," Lola said with a light voice and a smile.

"Did he ask about me?" Arthur laughed.

"Of course, he's been asking me about you all afternoon. He's still thinking about you," Lola said, half-jokingly.

"There's no way Davonnis Corp is working with the Sanchez family," Arthur said with a sigh.

"I know, but it alienates him and makes me feel sorry for him," Lola sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it," Arthur urged. "He's a smart man. You should talk about me as little as possible to avoid suspicion.".

"Yes, Mr. Davies," replied Lola, smiling.

After Arthur and Lola talked for a while, Kyle called in and told him that the file had been sent to Lucia. Arthur waited patiently for Lucia to finish reading the file.

At this moment, in the president's office of Webbex Group not far from the Branch of Davonnis, Lucia had opened the email that Kyle had sent her and started to check Casper's background. After reading it, her brows furrowed slightly. And her mind was full of twists and turns.

Recalling the way Casper looked at her yesterday and his smile, Lucia couldn't let it go, but Arthur's investigation was unmistakable. The man's father was involved with those people, but he was innocent. What was wrong?

Lucia was baffled.

Turning her chair to the French window behind her, Lucia stared into the traffic at a nearby intersection.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang with a clear sound. Lucia lazily turned her arm around to pick up the phone. She smiled when she saw who had sent her the message.
