Chapter 729 A clue

"That's right," Arthur said, with undisguised praise.

"Amasun Group currently has six headquarters and liaison stations in Dallas, Georgia, Florida, Honolulu, Illinois and San Francisco. None of these have anything to do with it, but they're close to major ports. What do you think he's planning?"

"He can't expand the Group. He's been secretly moving the assets of the Group. That's what we've already confirmed. It's going to take a lot more money to expand. He can't be that stupid," Lucia said, looking Arthur in the eyes.

"But he's been hanging around these ports. Could this have something to do with Ms. Wilson?" Arthur asked.

"Shawn told me that Spencer has been asking for transfer orders from my aunt, and Amasun Group will complete the delivery of the goods. But Spencer didn't have to be involved in the basic shipping process, so why was he there to oversee it? Not to mention, these routes don't match the shipping routes... " mused Lucia.

Arthur thought to himself for a moment and said,

"But I have a suspicion that it has something to do with Ms. Wilson. Spencer's strange routes abroad did not appear until he got the order from Ms. Wilson? Previously, he had been focused on returning to San Francisco to transfer his assets. Now, he had given his father full authority to handle these matters. In other words, what he has to do now is more urgent and important than transferring his assets!" When she heard Arthur's words, Lucia agreed with him and frowned deeply. She was worried that whatever Spencer was doing would not be good for her or Arthur!

"We may not be able to detect the connection, but Ms. Wilson may be onto something. Lucia, would you like to try and tell Ms. Wilson about Spencer's movements?" Arthur suggested to Lucia after a moment's thought.

Lucia pressed her lips together in silence, and her brows furrowed deeply.

Arthur knew this when he saw her like this. He lowered his shoulders slightly. Then he looked into her eyes and asked softly,

"Haven't you made up with her yet?"

"Not so much..." said Lucia with a wry smile, looking away slightly from Arthur's worried eyes.

"Auntie is not talking to me at all."

"But someone has to break the ice first, right?" Arthur said it because he knew that Lucia had always been the softest and most understanding person.

When she heard Arthur say this, Lucia moved her eyes a little and looked Arthur in the eyes. She fell into his tender eyes and whispered a little unhappily.

"But I've never done anything wrong..."

She had no regrets.

"Of course you didn't do anything wrong," Arthur said firmly. "It's just that Ms. Wilson is an elder, and she has such a stubborn temper. As juniors, we should be more tolerant and considerate, shouldn't we?" Arthur's words were so gentle, but Lucia was at a loss for words. Seeing Arthur's baffled look, she quickly said in embarrassment,

"I'm sorry. It's just that auntie has never been nice to you, but you're still willing to speak up for her like this. I think..."

"Do you think I'm too righteous?" Arthur said with a smile, half-jokingly, when he saw Lucia laughing.

"No!" Lucia squinted at Arthur and said, blushing, "I just thought... if only auntie would be willing to meet the real you."

"It doesn't matter," Arthur said with a smile. "What she thinks of you, what she knows about you, is what matters."

Lucia looked down and nodded. It seemed that she really had to be cheeky to contact Esmae. After all, dealing with Spencer was more important than her dignity.

It was supposed to be serious, but Lucia smiled and the mood lightened. She took the opportunity to say to Arthur,

"By the way, forget about holding media to account. The more you crack down, the more the gossip gets out of hand."

"Kyle..." as soon as Lucia mentioned it, Arthur said Kyle's name.

"Don't blame him. He just saw me and asked immediately." Although Lucia said that, looking at Arthur's eyes, she knew that probably Kyle would be scolded later.

After saying goodbye to Arthur, Lucia didn't get into the driver's car when she came downstairs. Instead, she let him follow her as she walked slowly back to the Webbex Group.

Contact and non-contact were easy to say for Arthur, but it was difficult to do. Moreover, if Esmae knew that she had been investigating Spencer, she would probably create a lot of suspicion and trouble. Were they really gonna let Spencer get away with this?

Lucia didn't want to. Walking in the sun that day, through the crowds, she couldn't make up her mind right away. It wasn't until a few days later that Lucia got up the courage to call Esmae, while Spencer had returned to Athegate.

"Du du du du..."

While she was waiting, Lucia's heart could not help but beat wildly. Would Esmae be willing to listen to what she said?

The sound went on and on. Lucia knew that Esmae always had her phone with her. Because she was also in charge of the Brown family business, it was impossible for her to miss an important call. Now the sound went on and on and on. She had already indicated that she did not want to answer her phone.

Lucia felt bitter, and her heartbeat slowed down, and the slower and slower it jumped, the more lifeless she became.

But Lucia, undeterred by the start, dialed Esmae's number again and again in the hope that she would listen, and finally, the line went through.

"Esmae!" Lucia shouted happily.

"Lucia, it's me..." from the other end of the phone came Shawn's usual calm voice.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Shawn?" Lucia paused.

"Mom's in a meeting and she can't answer the phone. So, I answer it for her," Shawn explained, but Lucia knew he was lying. Esmae said that everyone in the Browns family, wherever they were, should answer every phone call from the family. This was the protection of family affection and respect.

"I know she doesn't want to talk to me..." said Lucia lifelessly, with a silent wry smile "Lucia, don't say that." Shawn, who was not good at comforting people, could only repeat. Lucia sighed and suddenly realized that it was a good thing Shawn was on the phone.
