Chapter 724 End Up Worse Off And Suffer Losses

"Spencer, don't say that. Mr. Wood has just arrived at Athegate. He may not understand." Marshall said, grinning.

"Why don't we tell him?" Another rich young man chimed in.

"Mr. Davies, I know you," Jacob said calmly, making his meaning clear.

"Am I that famous? Even you know me," Spencer said, raising an eyebrow and smiling at Jacob.

An older man, seeing that they were trying to stir up trouble, came forward and said,

"Mr. Davies, we're all friends here. You don't have to..."

The older man was stopped by Spencer's friends before he could finish his words. "Abner, we know how far to go and when to stop. Can you give us a moment alone with Ms. Davidson, please?" The reputation of Spencer's friends in the circle was notorious. Seeing them together, the people around them quickly dispersed, and no one wanted to be associated with them.

Seeing everyone leave in fear, Spencer was proud of himself, unaware that he had become the object of everyone's disgust.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

As soon as they left, Spencer looked straight at Nia and said with a wicked smile,

"Nia, why are you still so nervous seeing me?"

Nia pursed her lips and tried to reply, but the words stuck in her throat.

Jacob glanced at Nia out of the corner of his eye and invisibly leaned in her direction. This seemingly ordinary action gave Nia unlimited courage.

How could she forget?! Jacob was always there for her!

With a burst of courage, Nia relaxed and looked over at Spencer. "Mr. Davies, I don't know you that well. Don't call my name."

There was no one around, and Spencer wasn't afraid of anything. He leaned over to Nia, ignoring the fact that Casper, who was standing next to her. Then, he was breathing in her ear.

"I can't? I used to call you Nia in bed, and you called my name too."

Upon hearing Spencer's coarse words, Nia trembled violently and her eyes widened in an instant.

How dared he say that in front of others!

Sensing Nia's resentment, Spencer was elated. Just as he was about to say something, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed against his shoulder. Spencer was caught off guard when he was pushed, and the distance between him and Nia instantly widened.

Spencer glared at Jacob, furious. "You dare lay a hand on me?!"

Jacob took his hand back and said dryly, "Mr. Davies, you have always been known to be a gentleman, but now I'm going to change my mind."

As he spoke, he pulled Nia behind him and used his broad shoulders to block Spencer's view of her.

In the past, he had trusted and respected Spencer, but now he wasn't afraid of him anymore!

Nia hid behind Jacob and was instantly moved.

"You heard it right, but it depends on who you're talking to," Spencer said, hunching over Jacob.

"Nia, what kind of woman is she? Does she deserve to be treated gently? Does she deserve? Mr. Wood, I don't know how she seduced you, but I advise you to be careful with this woman. She is very scheming."

"Mr. Davies, I know what you did to Nia, but we all grow up. I appreciate Nia's independence, and she's never been held back by what you did to her. By comparison, Mr. Davies, the way you're bringing up the past to hurt her right now, is hideous!"

Jacob made a strong case for showing his appreciation for Nia while also attacking Spencer for being unethical.

Jacob's presence was immediately apparent, and Spencer's friends, who rarely knew that he was being serious, tugged at Spencer's arm and said,

"Spencer, forget it if you can't persuade Mr. Wood. He'll understand our good intentions when he's at a disadvantage in the future."

Spencer glared at them, then turned to Jacob and asked in a low voice,

"So, you're okay with dating a woman I slept with?"

"Nia and I are just friends, but if we're really in love, I don't care about her past. But... Mr. Davies, I heard that your fiancee and Arthur Davies used to be in a relationship. So, instead of worrying about Nia and me, why don't you worry about yourself?" Lucia was not here, so Jacob had no qualms about using her as a trigger to mock Spencer.

And sure enough, the smugness and calmness on Spencer's face was instantly torn apart at the mention of Lucia. Marshall and the others saw that Spencer's face was dark, knowing that the prank wouldn't end well if it continued. It would be even worse if it attracted Lucia and Arthur's attention.

"Spencer, quit while you're ahead. Let's go get a drink." Marshall put a hand on Spencer's shoulder and smirked.

Spencer shook his hand off his shoulder, and cursed,

"Didn't you encourage me to come here? What are you afraid of now? One is a woman I played with, and the other is a kid who doesn't have any roots in Athegate. What are you afraid of?"

"How can we be afraid of them? Marshall grimaced. "Look over there," he said, pointing in the direction of Lucia and Arthur.

Spencer looked up and saw Lucia and Arthur standing not far away. Both of them were looking in the same direction. He thought that if he attracted them, he would be the target of all the enemies. Spencer glared at Jacob,

"Mr. Wood, we'll have plenty of chances to deal with each other! I'll let you off this time!"

After saying that, he followed his friends and left without looking back, but Jacob's low voice came from behind him,

"Who spared who?"

Spencer glared back at Jacob, only to see a faint smile on his face, the irony of which he could see clearly.

"Spencer, calm down. We'll get him next time!" Marshall grabbed Spencer, who was about to turn around, and tried to talk him out of it.

"Spencer, that's it?" Jacob said with a sneer after Spencer left.

Why did he follow this man's lead before? That was ridiculous.

"Casper, thank God you're here," Nia whispered as she wrapped her arms around Jacob's and said, "I'm so touched". But Jacob pulled his arm back in the next second.

"Don't get too close to me. Lucia and Arthur are still here."
