Chapter 725 The Trap doesn't Work

Nia was disappointed and hung her head slightly, but the next second Jacob's voice in her ear made her blush again. "I'll comfort you when we get home tonight."

Lucia sighed as she watched Spencer and the others walk away from Nia and Jacob. Why can't these people just stop?

"Spencer is becoming more and more impulsive. As long as he has some sense, he shouldn't have provoked Casper." Arthur saw that Lucia was concerned and said something to distract her. "Yes, Spencer is under pressure from all sides. It's hard for him to remain calm and rational." Lucia looked at Arthur and stopped paying attention to what the others were doing.

Arthur smiled gently and said softly, "This is good for us."

"It's a bad thing. It means he's getting more and more impulsive in his way. I'm afraid..." Lucia was thinking a lot more than Arthur.

"Don't worry," Arthur consoled immediately. "Nothing will happen with me around."

When people said this, they may be regarded as arrogant and frivolous, but it came from Arthur. Every word he said had absolute conviction.

Lucia smiled and said, "Spencer's been going back and forth to the USA. I think he's up to something. Did Lola mention it to you when she came to see me last time?" "Well, yes, she said she was relieved," Arthur said, laughing at Lola's choice of words.

"Edwin and Sophie haven't made up their minds yet, have they?" Lucia asked.

"No. They care most about their family affection, and they promised Elliot back then, so..." Arthur frowned slightly. He knew that Lucia valued his parents' opinion.

"I know. I won't use it unless I have to," Lucia said with a smile. "Besides, I'm not interested in what Spencer will do right now. I'm interested in whether or not auntie can change her mind. Otherwise, if we get rid of Spencer, she will find another one."

This was the crux of the problem that Arthur and she must separate.

Arthur and Lucia could not have been at ease at the mention of Esmae, but Arthur did not want Lucia to be depressed, so he raised his glass and clanked hers lightly.

"Now that we've worked with Nia, it's time to figure out how we're going to find out where Jacob is."

When the conversation turned from Esmae to Jacob, Lucia's bright eyes lit up sharply. Arthur couldn't help but smile. His Lucia was never stopped.

While Lucia and Arthur were chatting, Eduard and the others came back after strolling. This time, the they didn't split up. Four of the six were important figures in the business field of Athegate, so the main focus of attention was naturally on them.

Nia also re-energized and Jacob continued to lay the groundwork for the future between the toasts.

Spencer was probably the most depressed person at the party, but he didn't want to leave. Instead, he watched Lucia from a distance, waiting.

The banquet lasted nearly three hours. As the sunshine grew hotter and brighter in the afternoon, the presenter went up to the stage to announce the end of the banquet.

At this point, Spencer took the opportunity to go to Lucia, and also in advance to contact a few reporters followed behind.

"Lucia, now that the party is over, come home with me. Our kid are waiting for you," Spencer said, deliberately mentioning the child in front of Arthur.

Lucia frowned and glanced out of the corner of her eye at the reporters following him.

"I have something to do later. You go back first." She was not willing to walk together with Spencer, so she responded lightly.

"I thought we had the launch ceremony today. What else do you want? Be good. Come home with me." Spencer insisted.

Lucia glanced at him coldly, saying nothing, and reporters were watching her reaction.

Arthur's brow twitched, and he was ready to speak for Lucia, but someone else had taken the chance.

"Ms. Webb, if the kid is waiting for you, you should go home. Family comes first. If there's anything, I'll let you know after I discuss with Mr. Davies," Nia, who had been leaning over, suddenly interjected. After saying that, Nia walked over to Arthur's side naturally. Although she didn't dare to get too close to Arthur, she seemed to be on Arthur's side, and Lucia was on the other side.

Lucia smiled. She didn't miss the cunning and smugness in Nia's eyes. Well, since she wanted to be alone with Arthur, she will give her that!

"All right, I'll go with you," Lucia said, giving Spencer an answer that surprised him.

Spencer had brought the reporters here to confirm that Lucia would not want to leave with him. He wanted to make sure that Lucia would neglect their family, but he did not expect her to agree! Pretty soon, Spencer gave Nia a look. It was her who got in the way!

"You're not happy that I'm willing to go home with you?" Lucia purposely said it as Spencer glared at Nia.

"How could that be?" Spencer smiled and held Lucia's hand in front of Arthur.

"Let's go home."

Then he led Lucia to the exit, leaving several reporters to look at one another awkwardly.

They thought it would be something big.

"Do you have any questions?" Arthur asked in a low voice. His eagle-like eyes swept past the reporters.

"No no..." the reporters dared not offend Arthur. Feeling embarrassed, they laughed a few times and left immediately.

After the reporters left, Arthur turned to Eduard and the others and said,

"Eduard, the sun is too bright. You should go back too."

Arthur's eyes shone brighter than the sun. Eduard and the others left immediately after receiving the hint. They quickly walked to the exit, leaving Arthur, Nia, and Jacob alone.

"Ms. Davidson, you just said you have something to discuss with me. What is it?" Arthur asked.

Nia had nothing to discuss with him, but just said it to provoke Lucia. At this point, she had no choice but to make up an excuse.

"I have some infrastructure issues and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to review the blueprints with me."

Arthur raised his eyebrows in disdain. The blueprints? Can she read it? What a clumsy excuse.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
