Chapter 801 First Confession
Time flied, and another two days had passed. In order not to arouse Spencer's vigilance and to spare more search time for Otis and the others, Esmae can only force herself to calm down and not contact Spencer.
And in these two short days, Esmae had contacted Arthur countless times, and couldn't control herself. Her husband and daughter were as confused as her. And among all the people who were looking forward to rescuing Lucia and the child, she couldn't take the initiative to find Edwin who was the calmest, but Arthur.
Full of sarcasm, this person who she once regarded as her mortal enemy had become her only spiritual support.
During the whole rescue process, Arthur was the most anxious and heartbroken one, but he never lost his mind and handled things calmly. This kind of calmness in the face of danger made Esmae very relieved. As long as Arthur still had hope, all of them would still have hope too.
"He still didn't contact me today." Esmae called Arthur again. Even if it was just a slight psychological activity, she would tell him that she was afraid that her bad mood would affect the negotiation with Spencer. Sitting on the sofa in the room, Helena saw her mother call Arthur again, feeling a little relieved, but also anxious like her.
"Ms. Wilson, Spencer is actually more impatient than anyone else right now. You don't have to be so anxious." Arthur was not impatient, because he could feel Esmae's emotions.
"But it's almost the third day, and there's no news from Otis..."
"Don't worry. Spencer doesn't take action, but it proves that Lucia and the child must be safe. Besides, Otis and Jack were members of the special forces before, and they have undergone special training in search. I believe there will be news soon." Arthur trusted Otis.
"He used to be in the special forces?" Esmae didn't know about it.
"Yes, Otis has served in the special forces for six years. He was seriously injured while performing missions overseas before retiring to run the family business. He has a strong body, quick thinking, and extraordinary sensitivity to things. Don't worry." Arthur didn't hide it from Esmae.
"So that's how it is..." Esmae thought to herself. No wonder Otis's eyes were different from ordinary people. She changed her mind and asked again, "What about Bailey and Douglas?"
"Bailey's temperament is more casual, but he has a wealth of knowledge. He has a talent for doing business since he was a child. He was the first among our brothers to help my father manage the business. He managed the Davonnis Corp branch. He's the best among us. Douglas is still studying at Harvard, but he's not interested in family business, but likes to study philosophy, but he's very lively."
Although Arthur didn't know why Esmae suddenly asked about his brothers, he didn't hide it as before.
"You're all good boys, aren't you?" Esmae said it inexplicably. owns this text.
"I don't understand what you mean, Ms. Wilson," Arthur said directly.
Esmae smiled wryly and asked Arthur, "Do you know why I was so against you being with Lucia?"
"Because of the grievances between you and my parents." Arthur replied, looking at his mother who had been listening to his conversation with Esmae.
"That's the main reason," Esmae lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a light tone, as if with some kind of self-mockery.
"It's also because I think they betrayed me together back then. It's impossible for them to raise any good sons."
Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing his mother's eyes sparkling, mixed with a little bit of bitterness, he was a little aggrieved, and Esmae continued to say something just as he was about to say. "But that's just my subjective prejudice. Facts have proved that they raised your four brothers very well. I have fully understood these few days."
As soon as Esmae finished speaking, Sophie's eyes lit up.
"Arthur, I have to say sorry to you," Esmae said without waiting for Arthur to respond.
"At the beginning, my prejudice was too deep. Before I knew you, I believed that you cheated Lucia's feelings. But after getting in touch with you these days, I saw your deep love for Lucia. Even though I let her leave you at the beginning, even though she is engaged to Spencer, when you talk about her, when you think of her, your eyes never change. Not only you, but also Lucia. She's never given up the relationship between you..."
"She and I are in love with each other." Arthur was grateful for Esmae's ability to say these words, and he responded in a low voice. There were just a few words, but hidden deep affection.
"After this incident, I won't let Lucia be in a dilemma again ... Really, I won't." This may be Esmae's confession that she couldn't say to Lucia herself at this time.
"Ms. Wilson..." Arthur looked at his mother's gratified expression. Although he was not good at sensationalism, he still said sincerely,
"Thank you for understanding."
"No, it should be..." Before Esmae finished speaking, there was a call connection sound from the mobile phone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said to Arthur, "There's a call coming in. I'll hang up first."
After speaking, Esmae cut off the phone immediately, and asked Helena to call Arthur immediately. After she indicated that she was already on the call, Esmae answered the call that everyone had been waiting for for a long time.
"Spencer, are you still calling at this late hour?" Her voice sounded cold, and Esmae had returned to that calm and strong woman.
"Ms. Wilson, are you joking? As long as I call, will it too late?" Spencer's mocking voice came from the phone.
Esmae frowned, glanced at Helena who was also nervous and said,
"Just say something. I don't want to talk nonsense with you."
"Do you know about Amasun Group?" Spencer asked without beating around the bush.
"Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death." Esmae said with a sneer.
Spencer was silent for a while, then whispered,
"Ms. Wilson, I have nothing now. No, I still have two aces. Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"
"Even if you kidnap Lucia and the baby, it doesn't mean that I need to bow my head and beg you. If you have any conditions, you can just say it. You'll be satisfied if I can. No need to talk nonsense." Esmae said irritably.
"Fine," Spencer laughed, and continued,
"Then I'll just say it straight. I have to add another condition to the content I talked to you last time. Let me formally invest in the Brown family's business, accounting for 10% of the shares. Even if I take back Davonnis Corp later, I'm going to keep the 10% after the 50% is returned. You know Amasun Group is dead in name only now, so I have to give myself a guarantee."
