Chapter 783 Unhappy Negotiation

"What agreement?" Esmae had no idea such an agreement existed.

"Put 50 percent of the Brown family's share in my custody for the time being, and I will return it once I take over Davonnis Corp."

"Shameless!" Esmae didn't expect Spencer to have thought of it.

"It's a long shot." Spencer ignored Esmae's scolding and smugly corrected her.

Esmae looked angry when a negotiation broke down, but by the time she left the cafe, the plan was already in place.

Today, Nia came home from work to find Casper packing his bags. She was so surprised that she went up to him and asked,

"Casper, where are you going?"

"Oh," Casper glanced at Nia and said, "I need to do my graduation thesis, because the tutor contacted me to go over. Although I'm not Casper, it would be too suspicious if I don't show up. I thought I would come back in the next few days as soon as I know what's going on."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Nia was noncommittal when she heard this. She just looked at Casper sideways as if she didn't believe him.

"What do you suspect?" Casper asked directly, displeased.

"No," Nia said after pursing her lips, "These are just trivial. Do you really need to be there?"

"Who do you think the school will call if I don't go?" Casper said. "Wait for them to contact Miles and let them know I don't care about school?"

"Then I'll go with you!" Nia said immediately.

"No, you still need to deal with Stable Growth. I'll only be gone for a few days. What do you have to worry about?" Casper's tone became more and more irritating.

"It's not that I don't trust..." Nia would never dare to question him, but she always felt weird about it.

"Okay," Casper put down his clothes and hugged Nia. "It's only for a few days. I'll be back soon."

Nia bit her lower lip and could only nod.

After dinner in the evening, Casper left with his suitcase and refused to let Nia see him off. Nia stood by her bed and watched the driver pick him up, trying to reassure herself that he was only gone for a few days. It was definitely not something he was not telling her.

As it turned out, a woman's sixth sense was an amazing thing, and Casper, of course, didn't actually set off to USA. Instead, he had his driver take him to the town where Leon was currently stationed. It was only a half-hour's drive from the mountains where Spencer was holding Lucia, and it was only a twenty-minute drive up the hill.

Casper decided to go to the rescue!

In any case, Casper was not willing to pass up the chance to deepen his relationship with Lucia.

After several hours of driving, Casper had been ruminating over his plan. The sun had set and the moon had risen, and a few faint stars had appeared in the night sky. He had met up with Leon and the rest of his men as scheduled.

"Spencer is smart. He chose to send Lucia to a wild forest like this. This place hasn't been developed yet. Most tourists wouldn't think that this forest is the most suitable hiding place," said Casper as he and his men ate late at night.

"Also, we've checked. The property here doesn't belong to Spencer. He just borrowed the name of an ordinary employee of the company to rent it for a while. No matter how resourceful Arthur is, he won't be able to find out such details." Leon could not help but admire Spencer's cunning.

"It's a good thing I asked you to spy on Spencer in advance, or I wouldn't even know where Lucia is," Casper said, sounding exclamatory, as if the shameless surveillance was somehow related to justice. Leon looked at Casper a few times, thought about it, and then said,

"Boss, are you really going to save her in distress? Those guards are armed. If the gun goes off..."

"Don't worry. Haven't you figured out the shifts of the guards? As long as you're careful, it's still possible to get her out." Casper had always been confident about his plan.

"Did you forget about the little one?" Leon warned. "When she cries, nobody's going anywhere."

So the boss only had eyes for beauties, and he forgot she'd got a baby on her?

Leon thought to himself.

"I only save Lucia," Casper said without thinking twice.

That surprised Leon. "Boss, you won't try to save the little one?"

"That's Arthur's daughter. What do I need her for? To get in my way?" Casper smiled. Under the light, it looked like a ghostly smile.

"You'll have to get rid of the little one, and Lucia won't be able to take care of her at this critical moment."

"Boss..." Leon had been given a new perspective by Casper. He had thought that he was already considered extremely evil, but he had never thought of doing anything to an infant, but Casper did not hesitate at all.

"Why," Casper sniffed, sensing Leon's concern, "Do you think I'm too cruel?"

Leon didn't dare answer in a muffled voice.

"What they have done to me is no more painful than losing a child. I want Lucia, but I don't want to take care of her child by another man!" Casper fumed.

"I see. I'll do as you say," Leon finally agreed, though he still had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

Esmae did not hide the news from her husband after her negotiations with Spencer, and she implied that Helena had told Arthur the news in order to accommodate her husband's concerns. Arthur and Otis were not surprised to learn of Spencer's offer. Arthur quietly increased the number of people, and continued to expand the search area.

"Mom, what do you think Esmae would have done?" Otis took advantage of Arthur's deployment to consult with his mother, something he couldn't say to Arthur's face.

"I'm not sure." Sophie frowned slightly and mused, "If she saves Lucia and the baby, Spencer will control us and the Brown family, but if she doesn't..."

That was impossible! Sophie and Otis had the answer in mind.

"Spencer even offers to keep 50% of the Brown family's shares for the time being. How dare he say such a thing?" Otis was even more worried after learning about this. The more Spencer wanted, the more he wanted to take a chance, and the more dangerous Lucia and the baby were.

"Maybe your dad has an idea about this. I'll talk to him tonight. We can't let the Brown family suffer, and we definitely can't let anything happen to Lucia and the baby," Sophie said firmly.
