Chapter 734 Subtle words and evasions
"Dad, you should have watched the video. Spencer is a total jerk! Nia was just a poor victim. She had reported the case to the police before, but she didn't expect Spencer to threaten Nia to withdraw the case. Nia had just gotten herself together, and she was no match for someone like Spencer!"
Jacob saw that Miles was unmoved and stood up for Nia.
"You keep your mouth shut and let her speak for herself," Miles told his son to shut up.
Jacob pursed his lips, afraid to disobey his father.
Nia bit her lip, took a deep breath, and then continued,
"I really thought about it for a long time when Casper asked me to date him. I knew I amn't good enough for him, but Casper is too good. I really couldn't resist... until now, I am afraid to tell anyone he is my boyfriend, afraid Spencer would use my story to hurt him ...."
"You thought of everything," Miles said in an ambiguous voice. "Why didn't you come clean at Christmas? We thought you were from a good family!"
"Dad!" Jacob felt that Miles had gone too far. As soon as he tried to defend her, Nia grabbed his arm, and explained herself,
"Uncle, I really should confess, but I'm also afraid. I'm afraid that I'll lose Casper if I tell you. During my most painful time, Casper appeared in my life. I'm really afraid that you won't accept me... and I don't think there's anything wrong with where I come from."
After she said that, Nia's eyes flashed with an expression that was neither obsequious nor overbearing.
Jacob added,
"Dad, do you know why I fell in love with Nia even though I knew her? Because I admire her. After she was hurt by Spencer, she didn't give up on herself. Instead, she stood up and not only bravely stood up to blame him for his mistakes, but also established Stable Growth Investment with her own strength. Stable Growth is now a high-end enterprise that can cooperate with the Branch of Davonnis, the Webbex Group. Dad, I believe that you and mom will not be so rigid. You will not only look at the past and see the character of Nia herself."
At last, Miles's brow moved a little, as if persuaded.
"Uncle, although I'm not proud of my past, I'm serious to Casper. However, I also respect your decision. If you're really unwilling to accept me... I..."
Nia was so choked up at the end that tears rolled down her cheeks. Jacob immediately felt so bad that he put his arms around her and said to his father,
"Dad, who doesn't have a dark past? Now that Nia has proven herself to be a strong, brave woman, I'm not going to leave her at a time like this, and besides, you've always been careful. If you were going to do a background check on her, you would have done it already, so why wait until now? Someone must have leaked it to you on purpose?! This man has an ulterior motive. Dad, don't let him get to you!" Miles raised his eyebrows and finally made a bigger gesture. He straightened up a little and said solemnly,
"Yesterday, I received a strange email in my personal inbox, and when I opened it, it was all Miss Davidson's information... indeed, it was done on purpose."
"Nia, it must be Spencer! He picked a fight with us at the party last time," Jacob said excitedly,
"Dad, it was definitely Spencer!"
"Casper, I'm sorry I got you into this..." Nia said sadly with tears in her eyes.
"The Wood family won't be afraid of Spencer Davies," Miles said in a low voice. He looked at Nia and asked seriously,
"So, Spencer lied to you from the start. He told you that he was only engaged to Lucia because of the power behind her. You became his lover because he lied to you. You thought that he wouldn't marry Lucia, but after they had a child, they abandoned you and made things difficult for you, didn't they?"
"Uncle, everything I've said is true. Although the media always likes to speak or act on hearsay evidence, the truth can be restored from those reports. Otherwise, how could I have foolishly meddled my boss's marriage?" Nia said in a serious tone.
"Dad, Nia really didn't mean it," Jacob added, seeing that Miles seemed to be leaning toward Nia.
"Also, you should know that if Lucia really hates Nia and thinks that she's unforgivable, why would she cooperate with Nia? It's precisely because even Lucia knows that Spencer is behind everything!" "Uncle, to be honest with you, Lucia and Spencer's engagement wasn't voluntary at all. She was forced into it. It's only my fault that I listened to Spencer's words and hurt her unintentionally," Nia said with guilt on her face.
"I see," Miles said, nodding. "Someone who's going to leak your information to me behind my back."
When Jacob and Nia heard Miles say that, they immediately looked at each other. As soon as they made eye contact, they knew that they were both satisfied with the effect of this.
In fact, Jacob and Nia had already agreed on how to deal with Miles and his wife. In addition to the fact that only the people involved knew what was going on, what others saw was just an illusion. It wouldn't be hard for them to get away with it.
The next thing to do was to mourn.
"Uncle, Spencer is targeting Casper now. I don't want him to get hurt no matter how much I miss him," Nia said with a deep frown.
"Now that you're here, please get Casper out of this mess. I don't want to drag him into it."
"Nia! What are you talking about!" Jacob shouted.
"He's already sent my information to you. Who knows what he'll do next?" Nia became excited. Her face turned red, and tears could not stop flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"I won't let you be targeted by him. You'd better go back with uncle!"
"I won't! I..." Jacob continued.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
At this moment, Miles said, "Alright, I know everything. Let's not talk about whether we should leave or not. With the strength of our family, it's easy to deal with Spencer."
Even if Miles had given a speech about Nia's background, his son was clearly being targeted, so how could he just sit there and do nothing? He was too proud to let his son walk away like he was afraid of Spencer.
"Dad, I'm not leaving. Isn't that why Spencer sent you that file? Nia will go back to being helpless. That's what he wants. I won't let him get what he wants, and I won't leave Nia!" Jacob's eyes were burning, tell his father about his determination.
