Chapter 723 Malicious Provocation
"Eduard, don't put Lucia on the spot." Daphne had always been partial to Lucia.
"All right, can't I just go?" Eduard "glared" at Lucia, then agreed to follow Arthur and the others in the direction of the other guests.
"Do they run away when they saw me coming?" When he came to Lucia, Spencer looked at Arthur's back and said sarcastically.
"They don't run away. They don't want to cause trouble for the other guests, unlike someone," said Lucia, with her arms folded in front of her chest.
"Oh," Spencer said with a careless smile. Instead, he asked Lucia, "Lucia, is our relationship so shallow? Almost all of Athegate's celebrities are invited. I'm your fiance but I'm not invited?"
"Didn't you come as well?" retorted Lucia.
"This is different. If you had taken the initiative to invite me, I wouldn't have had to face the reporters by myself. I don't know if I said the wrong thing or answered the wrong question." He lowered his head and stared directly into Lucia's eyes. Spencer's voice was soft.
"You can say whatever you want." Lucia was not superior in height, but she was not inferior to Spencer in strength!
Spencer smiled but did not say anything, as if Lucia was just a wayward little girl, and he was the tolerant person.
The sight of Spencer disgusted Lucia. She lowered her eyes and said coldly, "Is there anything else? I have guests to entertain."
"Together," Spencer said cheekily.
Though Lucia's eyes were downcast, Spencer could guess how disdainful she was when she sneered.
"Spencer," said Lucia, raising her head slowly and letting a sneer fill her lips, "The host is only qualified to entertain the guests. And you, who are you?"
Having said that, she had no patience to continue her tirade with Spencer. Lucia turned and walked away, leaving Spencer in the middle of the venue.
Spencer's face darkened as Lucia left without hesitation. Her hand, which was in her trouser pocket, clenched into a fist as he hesitated to chase after her. A few of his friends from the industry, who had been hanging out with him, came up to him at some point, and one of them patted him on the shoulder.
"Spencer, did you have a fight with her?"
Spencer turned and smiled. "Mr. Fisher, you're here too?"
"The entire upper class of Athegate is here. Of course we won't be absent," said Marshall. "I saw her face earlier," Marshall said, grinning. "Are you having problems?"
"When did you get so nosy?" Spencer smiled and didn't answer.
"Not that I'm nosy," said Marshall. "There's no privacy in this circle. There are rumors, and everyone is curious."
"Keep curious," Spencer said to him and to the others, putting his arm around his shoulder. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Let's talk."
"Let's talk..." these rich young men had always been like Spencer. The few of them could ignore the others' gazes and started making fun of each other. Lucia also successfully got away from Spencer. Just a few steps away, Lucia heard laughter behind her. She turned and saw Spencer and his friends laughing at each other. Her disgust was growing.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
As long as he didn't cause any trouble, she won't bother with him.
Lucia thought so and went to Arthur.
She didn't know that the person Spencer and the others were laughing at right now was Nia.
"Spencer, look at Nia. She's already found a new cute guy to play with. You're not as cool as her." A rich young man unintentionally provoked Spencer.
"So what if she did? She's just my unwanted woman." The way Spencer talked now was not polite at all.
"Spencer, aren't you going to meet her? Didn't you ask me to find out who's been spreading rumors about you in the circle? It's Nia!" Marshall didn't mind the hassle.
Spencer's expression was changeable. He certainly didn't want to confess in front of his friends, but he was still a little wary of Casper, who was next to Nia. He had a threatening background. "Oh," the other rich young man exclaimed, "Spencer, you're not afraid, are you?"
Just now, he had filled a glass of wine. With his friend's instigation, Spencer couldn't possibly admit being defeated. He sneered and said, "What am I afraid of? Let's go and meet her now!" "Go, go, go..." the rich men smiled at one another and surrounded Spencer as they headed toward Nia and Jacob.
Nia was very busy introducing Jacob to celebrities at this time. Although Jacob had been known for a long time, Casper was not. For the future of Stable Growth Investment and their future, Jacob needed to make a name for himself soon.
Jacob had always been cunning and glib, and with the protection of the Wood family, he quickly gained the attention of the public.
"You're Mr. Wood from Lepus. I met your father a few times, but I never got the chance to meet him again. I never thought I'd meet his son now. It's fate." Someone had made it clear that they wanted to make friends.
"Your father's reputation has long been spread to Athegate. He's also a tycoon in the industry. I didn't expect his son to be so noble. You're really like your father." Someone flattered him without hiding it. "Mr. Wood, let's talk some more in the future. Ms. Davidson and I have a partnership. It would be great if we could expand our partnership," someone suggested.
Jacob's face was filled with pride. In his early years, he had taken over the Webbex Group and become a giant, but he had never felt the protection of his family. And he hadn't done anything yet as Casper, but it was great to see the flattering faces of these people!
"Thank you. I'm new here, and I'd appreciate your kind consideration," Jacob said with a modest smile.
At that moment, everyone began to praise Jacob for his humility and politeness. He was a little carried away by the praise, but suddenly, an abrupt voice cut in.
"How did Mr. Wood, who comes from such a good family, end up with Nia?"
Nia's face darkened and her body froze subconsciously. Jacob turned his head and stared coldly at Spencer, and his friends!
