Chapter 777 The Shame

How could Spencer let Lucia slip away so easily when he managed to hold her in his hand? He smiled and said "politely",

"Why don't you stay here and I'll let you know when I'm ready?"

"You're stalling! You just want to torture Lucia!" Helena shouted.

"Tsk," Spencer said, frowning, and staring at Helena and shaking his head.

"Miss Brown, I'm not stalling. Even if Lucia and the baby aren't here right now, they're perfectly safe and well-fed. I wouldn't abuse my fiancee or my child, would I? That is an outrageous accusation." Helena gritted her teeth and glared at Spencer, wishing she could tear him to pieces right now!

At this point, Esmae, which had always been strong, was unusually quiet.

Chris glanced sideways at Esmae with mixed feelings, but the most important thing right now was to keep Spencer calm, so he said,

"OK, we'll wait for your answer."

Spencer stood up and laughed as Chris put his arm around his wife's waist and started to walk out,

"Where are you going? The guest room is ready for you."

"Don't worry. We have somewhere to go." Chris gave Spencer a cold look and walked straight out with his wife.

Spencer did not speak to let them stay but just kept smiling.

Helena followed her father. As she passed Spencer, she gritted her teeth and whispered,

"Spencer, you're gonna pay for what you did today!"

Spencer raised his chin and smiled back at Helena without a trace of guilt.

Watching the Browns walk away, Ewan nervously approached Spencer and asked,

"Mr. Davies, was there something wrong with your attitude towards their family just now?"

It was more than inappropriate, but offensive.

Spencer smiled and said casually,

"Esmae's not going to let me off the hook anyway, so why don't we use Lucia and the bastard this time? I'm tired of playing games with them."

"That's true," Ewan said approvingly. "Our family is a rich one. Why do we have to kowtow to them?"

Spencer liked what Ewan said. He smiled and nodded, then remembered something and immediately contacted Dan.

"Dan, are you with those four right now?"

"No, the others are watching them. I came out to get some air," Dan replied. The place where they were holding Jack and the others was an abandoned slaughterhouse. The smell in there was very unpleasant. "They are not Helena's people. Find a chance to get rid of them." Spencer, like a god, decided the fate of Jack and others. owns this.

"I see," Dan replied. "I've always wanted to do that!"

From Spencer's house to the car back to the hotel downtown, Esmae said nothing, except for the furrowed brow that gave away a little of her emotions.

Helena hesitated several times, not knowing what else to say.

When the room was ready, Chris urged Helena to go back to rest, and took Esmae back to their room.

Walking through the luxuriously carpeted corridors, under slightly dim lights, until they reached, Chris took Esmae back to their room, and when he turned on the bright lights in the room, Esmae blinked as if she had just woken up.

Chris sighed, took off his coat for his wife, led her to the edge of the bed and sat down. Then he squatted down in front of her and looked her in the eyes,

"Esmae, what are you thinking?"

Esmae's eyes moved, but there was no spark in them.

"Esmae..." Chris took Esmae's hands and called her softly.

Esmae moved her lips, but it was hard to say what she wanted to say until she met Chris' gentle gaze, then, she said softly and hesitantly,

"Chris... did I really do something wrong? Did I put Lucia and the baby in danger?"

Chris saw the shame in Esmae's demeanor, and he chimed in,

"Esmae, I'm sure you didn't tell Spencer about Lucia's plan knowing that Spencer would do something so crazy."

Esmae gave a wry smile and said,

"But I did tell him. I am to blame, and if anything happened to Lucia and the baby, I..."

Esmae was scared. She was really scared.

"No!" Even after Chris stopped Esmae from thinking, he affirmed,

"Spencer is a mercenary, and if he wants to get back at us, he's not going to buy us any time. We're going to get Lucia and the baby out of there, no matter what he wants."

"I made it so..." Esmae continued to wallow in self-reproach, with her voice beginning to choke.

Knowing his comfort won't help, Chris reached up and hugged Esmae, offering silent comfort, but that was all he could do for now.

In the next room, as soon as Helena entered the room, she contacted Otis without taking off her coat and told him everything Spencer had said, done, and looked at. Otis listened and said,

"At least now we know Lucia and the baby are okay, but I'm starting to worry about Jack and the others..."

"Otis, you mean..." Helena's heart skipped a beat.

"Spencer would never ask you about them without a purpose," Otis whispered, feeling a weight on his heart.

"Jack and the others have been in charge of protecting Lucia since the beginning of her pregnancy. He has always regarded them as a thorn in his side. If he realizes that you did not send them here, their background will be exposed. Spencer will definitely not let them off!"

"What should we do?!" Helena asked anxiously.

Otis pondered for a moment and said,

"Don't worry. I'll take care of this. I'll leave Lucia and the baby to your father for the time being. Mr. Brown is thoughtful and calm. There must be a way to stabilize Spencer."

Helena gave a helpless response, and Otis quickly hung up. He said to Arthur, who was next to him,

"Arthur, did you hear that?"

"Yes, I'll send someone to look for them right away!" Arthur was no less grateful to Jack and the others than he was to Lucia. If it wasn't for them, Lucia would have suffered a lot. He had to protect them! "If Brown's negotiations with Spencer fail, Arthur, we must inform dad immediately that Elliot's feelings can no longer be taken into account," Otis said sternly.
