Chapter 855 Peaceful Time
Her soft words penetrated into the bottom of his heart like a clear spring, and Arthur hugged Lucia even more impatiently, barely knowing how to control the emotions surging in his heart.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
As soon as Lucia saw Arthur buried his head on her waist, Lucia knew that he felt the same way as herself. She put her hand on Arthur's back lightly, and looked up at the sunlight coming in through the window.
Really, it cleared up.
Breakfast was naturally a family gathering together, the warm sun was shining slightly, and everything looked peaceful.
With Sophie taking care of the baby, Lucia went out with Esmae after talking with Arthur in detail, and the press conference was scheduled for nine o'clock.
As soon as Lucia and Esmae went out, Sophie found Arthur with the baby in her arms. Arthur took the baby and saw that his mother had been secretly looking at him, so he couldn't help but smiled and asked, "Mom, do you have something to tell me?"
"Arthur, I'm so anxious..." Sophie sighed as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What are you anxious about?" Arthur asked while coaxing the baby.
"Lucia is going to announce the annulment of the engagement today. What about you? You didn't talk to her about your relationship?" Sophie asked anxiously.
Arthur glanced at his mother when he heard the words, and immediately understood what she meant, so he explained,
"Lucia doesn't let me go to the press conference because she's afraid of the outside world's evaluation of me. So she just calls off her engagement, and I can't ask for anything yet." "Hey..." Sophie sighed, frowned slightly and said, "That's why I'm anxious. After going through so many things, I now only believe that things should not be delayed. You must never..." Before his mother finished speaking, Arthur spoke,
"No, never."
After going through all kinds of things, Arthur had made up his mind to get rid of all the things that hindered his relationship with Lucia from now on. He had had enough of the pain of parting and longing. "I know that you and Lucia have a deep relationship, but you still have to have a status so that everyone knows that Lucia is our daughter-in-law, and no one can covet half of it!" Sophie said seriously. Arthur was amused by his mother's words. Only women were always more concerned about status, but now it was his mother who brought it up. Arthur smiled and said,
"Don't worry. Your son will have a status."
Seeing that Arthur was half-joking, and somewhat perfunctory, Sophie gave him a resentful look, and could only give up temporarily.
Lucia had not been back to the company for a long time, and when she stepped into the familiar lobby, she was still a little emotional, not to mention all the employees of the company. When the president who had been missing for more than a month appeared in the company, the employees were stunned for a moment. After greeting her respectfully, they automatically and spontaneously spread the news throughout the company.
Ms. Webb was back!
The chat groups of various departments of the company exploded with numberless messages.
"Yesterday I heard that Ms. Webb is coming back to hold a press conference. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"I saw her in the lobby just now, and that distinguished Mrs. Brown. I don't know what the theme of today's press conference is."
"If anyone knows the details, please let me know!"
The chat groups that were only about work were almost all about Lucia's news now. It was not until the executives came forward to suppress this trend, but the executives did not blame their subordinates, because even they were very curious.
Apart from informing his subordinates about arranging the press conference, Kane did not disclose anything else.
At nine o'clock, Lucia and Esmae appeared at the press conference together. The invited reporters held their breaths, looking forward to the news that Lucia would release. Kane's confidentiality work was done very well, and even the reporters didn't know the content yet.
On the rostrum, Lucia and Esmae sat together intimately. Lucia was extremely glamorous, and Esmae was unparalleled in elegance. Both of them were the focus of everyone's attention. After the host finished the process, Esmae shook Lucia's hand and spoke,
"Thank you for coming to this press conference. I'm Lucia's aunt. Now I solemnly announce that the marriage contract between Lucia and Spencer Davies has been cancelled. Since then, the two have no relationship. I hope everyone will continue to pay attention to the development of Webbex Group and don't put the two of them together again."
As soon as Esmae finished speaking, there was an uproar in the venue. Before the reporters came, there had been countless speculations, but no one thought that the theme of today's press conference would be to cancel the engagement!
Lucia and Spencer's engagement caused quite a stir. Whether it was the identity of Esmae's witness or the mysterious person who appeared at the ceremony, everyone could see that Esmae attached great importance to their engagement. Today, she announced the cancellation, so everyone naturally had countless questions.
Lucia suppressed everyone's discussion, and said sincerely,
"Thank you for always paying attention to the growth of me and Webbex Group. From then on, I'll continue to work hard to develop Webbex Group and do my part for the economic development of Athegate." Lucia's words were very meaningful, and immediately some reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands to ask questions. Lucia had been prepared for a long time, so she readily agreed to everyone's request for questions.
"Is this decision the result of negotiations between you and Mr. Davies?" a reporter asked, because there was no movement from Cloudwork Corp.
"Yes, this is the result of our peaceful negotiation." Lucia responded indifferently.
Another reporter followed up and asked, "Mr. Davies has not returned to Athegate until now. Where did you negotiate this with him?"
"No comment on this one," Lucia said.
"Now that you're single again, would you consider a relationship with Arthur Davies?" A reporter asked ambiguously. In fact, he just wanted to test whether the cancellation of the engagement had something to do with Arthur.
"I'm very grateful that everyone cares so much about my love life, but I can't predict how the future will develop, so I can't answer." Lucia also answered very cleverly.
Everyone was obviously very dissatisfied with Lucia's perfunctory answer. Once she opened her mouth, the situation could no longer be controlled. One reporter after another asked sharp questions, and most of them were about Arthur, but Lucia always responded with "no comment". After a few rounds of questions, the reporters began to feel a little restless.
"Ms. Webb, you have been avoiding the topic with Arthur Davies. Is it because he is the reason why you canceled your engagement?" Finally, someone couldn't help but raised this core question.
Lucia frowned slightly. Although she had already been mentally prepared to face such a question, it would also make her feel unhappy if the reporters kept mentioning Arthur, especially when the question was stated so bluntly.
Aware of Lucia's emotions, Esmae finally stopped keeping silent.
