Chapter 751 Secret Plan

"A guy like Spencer would do anything if he's cornered. You can trust me with the baby. I have to be prepared," Gene said seriously, and also knew that he must not have any mistakes.

"I know. I wanted to talk to you again in private," Lucia said, glancing up the stairs to make sure Jack and the others had gone upstairs first. She looked at Gene and said solemnly,

"I have the ability to protect myself," she said. "If there is a conflict, Spencer will focus all his attention on me and the baby, and I will try to stall him, so the baby will be all yours. No matter what happens to me, keep her out of harm. Please, Gene."

"I understand." Gene was equally worried about Lucia, but more aware of her motherhood.

"Gene, what are you talking about?" Long before Gene went upstairs, Victor leaned over the railing and called to him.

"Coming!" Gene replied.

"Gene, why don't you go upstairs? We still have time," Lucia said with a smile on her face.

Gene took a long look at Lucia and went upstairs.

After Gene left, the smile on Lucia's face faded, and the worry that lurked in her heart showed up in her slightly furrowed brows and the corners of her eyes.

Lucia knew that Spencer was using the baby as a trump card, and if there was a conflict, he would hold the baby in his hands to protect himself.

"Baby..." Lucia murmured, worried.

Spencer had returned to the country. He had thought that the public opinion would quiet down after he left for a week, but he did not expect to be blocked at the airport exit by reporters when he had just gotten off the plane. It was only then that he realized that the news was still spreading, but because of his departure, it aroused more heated discussion.

Flustered, escaping from the airport, Spencer had his good mood destroyed. When he finally returned home, he immediately called his subordinates and questioned them one by one.

"Did I pay you for nothing?" Sitting on the couch, Spencer glared at his subordinates.

"All this time I've been gone, you still haven't figured out who's behind it?" owns this.

"We did find a lead. That night in the emergency room, a nurse was greedy and sold information to a stranger. However, she didn't know the identity of the stranger. She only knew that it was a burly man who came in to find out what happened to Lucia and gave her a substantial sum of money," a trusted aide said with her head lowered.

"That's it?" Spencer's frown deepened, and his eyes grew more and more fierce.

The media even knew Lucia's room number. He had long guessed that someone in the hospital had sold the news, but he wanted to know who had bought the news and manipulated the media to spread the news!

No one dared to answer Spencer's questions, and they bowed their heads, hoping for hiding themselves.

"What a bunch of losers!" Spencer slammed the table so hard that several people almost jumped.

Just then, Dan walked in.

"Mr. Davies, you are back." Dan gave a faint greeting. He moved quickly and seemed to have recovered from all his injuries.

"What's going on with the building?" Spencer asked Dan, driving all his subordinates away.

"Behave well. I thought... Lucia would take the chance to escape, but she still wants to come back with the baby," Dan said sarcastically.

"Ms. Wilson hasn't let go. How dares she!" Spencer raised an eyebrow, sarcastic and smug.

"The nurse in the emergency room has been told off by me," Dan added. "Too bad we can't find the guy behind it."

"Dan, go to investigate it," Spencer said, a little relieved that Lucia was willing to return to the building,

"Find that man and kill him."

When using Dan, Spencer was helpless because other people were useless.

"Mr. Davies, isn't the most important thing to watch Lucia first?" Since his last injury, Dan had developed an unusual obsession with Lucia.

"Since she can come back, there's no need to worry about her in the short term. Right now, the most important thing is to calm this storm. If this continues, I won't have to establish a foothold in Athegate. Besides, this person has the intention to target me. It's bound to become a big problem in the future, so I need to get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Understood, Mr. Davies." Dan nodded his head and promised. In the next few days, he no longer guarded the building. Instead, he went out early and came back late every day to investigate what Spencer had told him. Jack and the others quickly realized this.

Jack and the others advised Lucia to leave immediately, but Lucia still had to wait for news from Shawn, and things had to be done step by step. If she was impatient, it would cause chaos, so after her body fully recovered, she began to return to the company to handle business as usual. Life seemed to return to its former peace.

On her third day at work, Lucia's assistant came in and told her that there was a visitor in the lobby. The name surprised Lucia.

"Is he alone?"

"Yes," replied the assistant.

Lucia's eyes twinkle. He dared to come to the company, and come alone?

"Ms. Webb, would you like to see him?"

"See, ask him to come up," said Lucia faintly.

Ten minutes later, the assistant brought the visitor into Lucia's office.

Lucia put down the pen in her hand and looked up at the person standing at the door. She smiled when she saw the bouquet of lilies in his hand.

"Mr. Wood, what can I do for you?"

Jacob, who had a slight smile on his face, walked up to Lucia with the flowers in his hand, looked her straight in the eye, and smiled.

"Ms. Webb, on behalf of Nia, I'm here to check on you. You know it's not convenient for us to visit you at home, so I can only take the liberty of visiting you at work."

"Where's Ms. Davidson?" Lucia asked in a low voice as she stood up slowly and politely took the bouquet of lilies.

"Oh, Nia's still in a meeting, so it's not convenient to come over," Jacob replied politely, and the smile in his eyes deepened as he stared at Lucia who took the bouquet.

He used to send her flowers, and heard she threw them in the trash. Now what?

"Yes...?" Lucia didn't say anything. She glanced up at him and placed the flowers next to the vase in the bookcase. She put them down before saying,

"Please tell Ms. Davidson I'm fine. Thanks for her concern."

After she finished speaking, Lucia continued to stand by the bookcase. She didn't ask him to sit down, nor did she say anything else. She just looked at him indifferently, with her starry eyes hiding a hint of displeasure or judgment.

"Ms. Webb, aren't you going to ask me to sit down?" he asked with a smile.
