Chapter 726 Thrilling

But thinking about how he and Lucia had just discussed deepening his contact with Nia, Arthur suppressed his disgust for her and smiled.

"Really? Let's go back together and talk in my office."

The person who had invited her was Arthur, who was admired by all the unmarried women in Athegate. Even though she knew that he didn't mean anything by it, Nia stole a glance at him and saw that he was smiling. Her whole heart couldn't help beating faster.

"Okay." Nia responded with a blush.

Arthur then asked Jacob, "Are you coming with us?"

"No, thanks." Jacob said with a quick wave of his hand. "I'm still getting used to the company. Nia, I'll be back in a minute and you can talk to Mr. Davies."

"Yeah," Nia replied softly again.

As a result, under the watchful eyes of all the reporters who were waiting for the protagonist's stance, after Lucia and Spencer left together, there was the scene of Arthur leaving with Nia alone. The reporters were really at a loss as to what to do! What kind of love and hatred were hidden among these four people?!

As Jacob was about to leave, a sharp-eyed reporter spotted him and pulled him over.

"Mr. Wood, you and Ms. Davidson are close. Why didn't you leave with her?"

Jacob smiled and looked understanding.

"Mr. Davies said he wants to speak to Ms. Davidson alone. I can't be that rude."

"Did he really say that?!" The reporter's eyes flashed, as if he'd caught on to something significant.

"You're not going to blow the whistle on me, right? Mr. Davies won't forgive me," Jacob said, feigning fear.

"Don't worry. I just want to understand the situation. I won't mention your name, Mr. Wood. Thank you for telling me this." He thought that Jacob was a timid person, but the reporter was kind enough to comfort him.

"Good," said Jacob, relieved. "I thought I was in trouble."

Turning away, Jacob glanced sideways at the reporter who was taking notes quickly on his cell phone. His smile deepened.

On the way back, Spencer checked Lucia's reaction from time to time in the rearview mirror. There were only the two of them on the car. It was impossible not to feel weird.

Finally, the one who couldn't resist breaking the silence was Spencer.

"Why did you just agree to come back with me?"

"Is it that important?" said Lucia, looking out the window at the reflecting glass of the mansion.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Of course, Spencer didn't have to know. He just couldn't stand the silence. He would break the silence first even if he said something that would upset Lucia.

"Now, no matter who you are in front of, even in front of the media, you have a legitimate reason to stand by Arthur's side. Congratulations, to do so, you turn against Ms. Wilson." Spencer couldn't keep his mouth shut, talking again.

"Spencer, is there something dirty in your mouth? Do you feel bad if you don't say a few words?" Lucia shot a sharp glance at the rearview mirror and said coldly after meeting Spencer's gaze. "Hehe," Spencer laughed. In fact, he was glad to hear Lucia's complaint. The only thing he couldn't stand was her silence.

"There's no point in talking about this now. You should think about how to salvage your relationship with Ms. Wilson. Moreover, the deterioration of your relationship with her will directly affect Helena. Helena will never see Otis again!"

When Lucia heard this, she gnashed. Yes, she was afraid of implicating Helena.

Glancing at Lucia in the rearview mirror, Spencer felt a sense of triumph. He continued,

"I don't understand why Helena would fall in love with Otis under such circumstances. Isn't your lesson clear enough?"

As soon as Spencer said that, he felt that his seat had been kicked hard. He was caught off guard and his actions were out of balance. The car that was driving made a few s turns on the road, almost hitting a pole by the side of the road.

When he finally steadied the steering wheel, Spencer slammed on the brake and pulled the car over to the side of the road. He turned around and yelled at Lucia,

"Lucia! Are you crazy?!"

Lucia stared at him coldly. She was as calm as if she didn't know that she and Spencer had been through hell just now. Her voice was so cold that it sounded like it was coming out of the ground. "Spencer, stop talking about auntie. Don't remind me of why I'm still bending over backwards to stay in the building. My tolerance is great, but it always has a limit. When it reaches its limit, I will drag you down with me to hell! So keep your mouth shut and don't mess with me, okay?!"

It was the second time Spencer had seen Lucia like this, and he could see no sense in her eyes, only madness after being provoked.

"Well, why don't you talk nice? Why do you have to do it in such a dangerous way..." Spencer's heart was still racing.

"Will you listen to me?" Lucia asked coldly.

Spencer was angry, but seeing that Lucia was so determined, he was unable to express it. He could only turn around and start the car again. He drove home in fear.

For the first time, Spencer couldn't wait for Lucia to get out of the car. He was even willing to go around the front door and park at the side door of the building.

"Get out of the car quickly!" Spencer stopped the car and said directly. He did not even want to turn his head around. God knew how he had driven the car all the way back. He was afraid that she would touch him again.

Spencer's fretful tone made Lucia feel amused. If he had known what would happened today, why bothered?

When Lucia closed the door, Spencer couldn't wait to leave, but Lucia walked to the side of cab and knocked on the window.

Spencer's eyes widened. What else did she want?! But he still rolled down the window.

"Did you run a background check on Casper, too?" Lucia asked Spencer, standing next to the car and looking down at him.

"Too?" Spencer heard her words and asked, "So you looked it up?"

"I didn't specifically look into him, but Miles has a great reputation. It's hard for me not to know. Arthur and I are working with Nia now. I hope you won't harass Casper. It'll only put you in an awkward position," Lucia said coldly.

"You're actually starting to defend Nia?" Spencer raised his eyebrows as if he had heard something ridiculous.
