Chapter 787 Cynicism

If they had to drive all the way back, even if they had to drive as fast as they could, it would take them almost eight hours to get there and back, and who knew what Spencer would do to Casper?! Leon now hated himself for not taking down the numbers of everyone who was related to Nia.

"Leon, what to do now?"

"What can I do?" Leon said anxiously. "I have to drive back to find someone. You stay here and wait for the others. I'll go back and get help."

"Okay, call me."

So Leon took a break and ran to where they had hidden the car. He got in the car and didn't care. He put his foot down and drove straight into Athegate. It was only 1:30 in the morning.

At half past five in the morning, when a faint glow of dawn was quietly rising in the sky, Nia was awakened by a loud knock on the door.

She opened her eyes in a daze. For a moment Nia thought she had phonism. Who was disturbing her so early in the morning?

The annoying knocking continued. The person had already abandoned the doorbell and chose to knock on the door. Obviously, he was furious. Nia's heart skipped a beat. She put on her nightgown and carefully walked towards the door.

"Who is it?" Nia asked reassuringly, even though she knew the other party couldn't hear her question. Then she shivered and looked through the peephole.

Seeing that it was Leon outside the door, Nia frowned suspiciously and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened a little, Leon pushed it away forcefully. Nia, who was standing behind the door, was almost pushed down. She asked unhappily, "Leon, are you crazy?!"

"You're the one who's crazy! Why did you turn off the phone for no reason?!" Leon rushed into the living room, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water into his mouth, while hesitating to scold Nia. Nia was so confused by his weird behavior that she closed the door and said,

"What's going on?"

"Boss has been arrested by Spencer!" Leon glared at Nia and said in a resentful tone, "I've been calling you for help for hours, but you slept soundly and even turned off your phone!" "What?!" Nia was so shocked that she asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't Casper go to US? How did Spencer get him?"

Nia was totally stingy when she turned off her phone. She was having doubts about Casper's schedule, and she thought that he would explain it to her when he got on the plane, but she hadn't heard from him since he left home. Nia was tossing and turning with her phone in her hand, and finally shut it down to let him also taste the taste of being left out in the cold.

Leon didn't have time to cover up Casper's lie right now. Life was more important than anything else.

"The boss didn't go to US. He knows where Spencer is keeping Lucia, so..."

Before Leon could finish his words, Nia's face turned cold and her voice turned cold as she said, "So he actually goes to save her?"

He could have sold Arthur this information as a favor, but he chose to save her on his own. No matter how stupid Nia was, she knew what he was up to. Wasn't he trying to be a hero in front of Lucia so that he could get close to her?!

Nia's previous anxiety had been replaced by soaring jealousy.

"Yeah," Leon didn't care about Nia's mood, but quickly said, "As soon as we got them out, Spencer and his crew caught us before we could leave, and boss told us to run back and air the safety, and he fell into Spencer's hands."

Leon was filled with guilt at the thought, but Nia was unmoved.

"Since he's willing to risk his life to save Lucia, he should have expected the consequences, right?" Nia said in a sarcastic tone. She could even imagine if she were in the same situation, Casper would never risk his life to save her!

"What do you mean?" Leon asked as he finally noticed something was wrong with Nia. owns this text.

"What else do I mean?" Nia sneered coldly. "There are consequences for what he does. It's his business that he's willing to fight for Lucia. I can't help it."

As soon as Nia said that, Leon shoved her onto the sofa. If Casper hadn't needed her, she would have been nothing to him!

"Nia, are you speaking English? Boss is in danger, and you want to walk away?!"

"How am I supposed to do that!" Nia didn't expect Leon to get rough with her. She shouted angrily, "He's going to take a risk for that bitch, and he's hiding it from me. What do you want me to do? Rescue him and let them both live?!"

"Are you out of your mind? Now You're taking this seriously?!" Leon finally understood why Nia was being so weird. It turned out that she was jealous, and he immediately reprimanded her.

"Boss is hiding it from you because he's worried about you. Besides, if he can save Lucia, Arthur will have to be respectful to him in the future. That's what he is trying to do. Not only do you not understand him, but you're trying to kick him when he's down?! Nia, don't you forget who gave you all this!"

Nia frowned and looked incredulous. She just stared at Leon and didn't say anything sarcastic.

"I thought you cared about him a lot, but now you're going to watch him die just because you're jealous?" Leon saw Nia's speechlessness and started blaming her. As expected, Nia panicked when she heard that.

"I didn't say... I just left it at that..." Nia murmured.

"Then stop dragging your feet and let's get some help right away," Leon said angrily.

Nia stood up and lowered her head to think for a while before asking,

"Going to Arthur?"

"Of course, Boss saves Lucia to do him a favor. Although the plan failed, we still have to let him know that we helped him and that boss was arrested. Besides, with Arthur's help, Spencer and the others aren't afraid of us. That's how we'll get boss back." Leon told the lie vividly, and almost believed it himself.

"Okay, I'm going to go change, and you're going to wait for me." Nia followed Leon's lead and went into her room to wash up and change.

In the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. No matter how hard she tried to hypnotize herself, she couldn't believe that Casper had planned the rescue without any ulterior motives, but the immediate thing was getting him out.

Splashing cold water on her face, Nia woke up in an instant.

After washing up, Nia and Leon went downstairs together. After getting into the car, she made herself prepared psychologically before she had the courage to call Arthur.
