Chapter 859 Dissatisfied
Arthur's hand was still tightly covering Lucia's wound. The moist blood he felt in his palm made him furious. He wanted to wipe the blood away but he was afraid that she would hurt, so he didn't say anything to the woman beside him. He just hugged her with a sullen face and walked forward.
Lucia knew Arthur was angry.
"Arthur, I'm sorry. I didn't know he..."
"You don't have to apologize." Arthur was very depressed, not willing to blame Lucia, but also annoyed by her decision.
"Arthur, at least I know that Casper must be weird," Lucia insisted on stopping, and the two stood in the corridor and looked at each other. She said,
"And the identities of the people around him are also complicated. When they came to the villa to rescue me before, Leon and the others called him 'boss' in a hurry, but they called him 'Mr. Wood' in front of me. You can start with those few people."
Arthur stared at Lucia in silence. His purple eyes, which were deep in the past, were now like an abyss, bottomless.
Lucia's eyes moved, reflecting that her decision just now was really a bit reckless. Dan could have taken her hostage in that moment, so she lowered her eyes delicately, stretched out her hand to hold Arthur's hands and apologized honestly.
"Arthur, I'm sorry. I was reckless just now. I really want to know the truth."
As soon as Lucia's voice softened, most of Arthur's anger disappeared immediately, but he didn't want to just compromise like this, so he just snorted softly and didn't express any opinion.
Lucia knew that Arthur's anger subsided as soon as she heard the soft hum. She curled her lips slyly, looked at him with big shiny eyes and said,
"Arthur, I promise you that I will never act recklessly in the future. Forgive me, okay?"This is the property of NĂ´-velDrama.Org.
Lucia was suspected of being cute. Arthur only maintained his coldness for a few seconds and couldn't hold on anymore. He hugged Lucia in his arms angrily, and said displeasedly,
"In my eyes, you're more important than the truth, and you're not allowed to take any more risks in the future!"
"Okay..." Lucia responded softly, and smiled in Arthur's arms.
"You will have to listen to me in everything from now on!" Arthur was still a little unwilling, and continued to speak with a firm voice.
"Okay..." Lucia replied again.
"No matter what the situation is, you must ask my opinion first!" Arthur was still angry.
But this time Lucia raised her eyebrows, smiled and said sinisterly, "Mr. Davies, it's too much..."
"Hey..." Arthur curled his lips and smiled. His handsome face was a bit pissed, and then he changed and said,
"We'll deal with your wound right away. Absolutely no scars left!"
Lucia grinned and nodded heavily. The two walked through the hangar towards the sun.
Two days later, Reynolds said goodbye and left first, and then Jack and others escorted Dan back to the USA. Although he was reluctant to part, the family affairs were heavy. Chris, Esmae and Shawn took Helena back to Chicago. But after making up their differences with Edwin and his wife, they left together and visited Teddy in New York before returning to Chicago. After they left, the house was quite deserted. Lucia had now officially moved to live with Arthur in the villa, and their daughter was usually looked after by a professional nursery nurse, so the two had begun to return to business.
During this period of time, not only Arthur, but even Lucia were dizzy with work. She hadn't dealt with official business for a long time, and suddenly a lot of things were in front of her. Even though Lucia was smart and capable, she may feel a little overwhelmed. However, she always did not slack off, solved the problems one by one patiently and recovered the previous progress after a few days.
Arthur and Lucia had just returned to work, and Casper and Nia were already celebrating.
The two of them returned to Athegate faster than Arthur, Lucia and the others. Once back, Casper took advantage of the convenience of the family declaration to seize Cloudwork Corp's resources. Within ten days, he and Nia successfully took over several major customers of Cloudwork Corp. Stable Growth's strength had grown a lot for a while.
After saving Casper himself and being discovered by Arthur and Lucia, Leon and the others no longer hid their tracks. They openly followed Casper's side, started to settle in Stable Growth dealing with daily affairs, ran amok in the company, and became arrogant for a while.
During the rescue operation, Nia had conflicts with Leon. Seeing them follow Casper into the company, and the subordinates complained frequently, Nia was even more displeased.
After finally waiting for Leon and the others to leave the office, Nia couldn't help complaining to him,
"Casper, Leon and the others are all gangsters and don't understand the company's affairs at all. You can let them help you secretly like before. Do you have to bring them to the company?"
Nia really didn't like Leon and these hooligans. Every time she saw them walking in the company in sloppy clothes, she felt displeased.
Casper stretched out on the sofa, and replied indifferently,
"They are all my brothers who went through a lot with me. Now that their identities have been exposed, we can no longer wrong them. Besides, they are not dull people. Just learn more about things if they don't understand in the future."
Upon hearing this, Nia frowned. Did he mean to train Leon and the others to intervene in the company's affairs?
This was not allowed! Nia's eyes darkened, and she spoke again,
"Casper, people specialize in different areas. Leon and the others are not the material to manage the company. They are only suitable for helping you do some shady things in the dark. Why do you..." "What do you mean by shady?" Casper raised his eyebrows and asked Nia.
"I..." Nia was startled to realize that she had said the wrong thing.
"Shady? Am I also a shady person?" Casper was provoked by Nia. He was sitting up, staring at her and said relentlessly.
"I didn't mean that," Nia explained anxiously, "I mean they..."
"They're the same kind of people as I am," Casper cut off Nia's words and snapped, "If you look down on them, you look down on me. It's not a long-term solution to hang around in secret. What's wrong with me letting them join the company? You're not the only one who has the say in this company, right?"
"Casper, I just complained to you. Why are you angry..." Nia felt wronged.
Standing up, Casper stood in front of Nia like a high wall, Although it was daytime, Nia only felt shivering as if she was shrouded in his shadow.
"Nia, sometimes I wonder if you have forgotten your identity." Casper said coldly with gloomy eyes.
