Chapter 871 Can't stand provocation

Nia was furious. Although she knew that Casper was about to open a new company, she didn't know that he went to Lucia and asked her to invest in it! His purpose was obvious. Wasn't he just to increase the chances of getting in touch with Lucia while finding a way to infiltrate Webbex Group?

Okay, since he made her uncomfortable, she won't make him proud either!

"If Ms. Webb and Mr. Davies join in, the new company will definitely have a bright future. Casper, I didn't expect us to have such a big harvest today!" Nia smiled brightly, but there were sharp knives hidden in her smile.

Casper frowned slightly when he heard the words, but quickly covered it up and hid the annoyance in his heart. Originally, he just wanted to lobby Lucia. If Arthur also took a stake, then things would be difficult in the future. And he had to wonder if Nia said these words on purpose.

Casper and Nia were in a storm, while Arthur and Lucia were full of pride. They glanced at each other and smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding between the two was self-evident.

"Then it's settled. I don't think about it and just buy shares with Arthur." This was the strategy that Lucia and Arthur had discussed a long time ago. Since Casper intended to win her over, she would let Arthur also participate. Let's see what his intention was.

"Miss Davidson, what you said is right. I didn't expect to have unexpected gains today," Arthur also laughed.

"We're originally in a cooperative relationship, but now we are getting closer and closer. Mr. Wood, please set a time. Let's discuss the specific matters of cooperation together some other day."

"No rush." This time, it was Casper who began to evade. "The company is only established in August, and now it is just a preliminary idea. It will not be too late to talk about it after the basic work is completed." Lucia and Arthur smiled once again in tacit understanding, and stopped asking about it.

Not long after, the exquisite dishes were served to the table one by one. Arthur and Lucia happily enjoyed the dinner, seeming completely unaware that the two people on the opposite side had no appetite and were absent-minded.

As the lights came on and the night fell, Athegate ushered in a gust of evening breeze, and pedestrians on the street began to slow down to enjoy the moment of relaxation.

In the restaurant, a dinner ended in a seemingly pleasant atmosphere. This time Arthur and Lucia had a tacit understanding with Casper and Nia. They each found an excuse to end the meeting after dinner, got up and said goodbye to each other.

After Arthur summoned the waiter to settle the bill, the four of them left the restaurant together. It was clear that the night wind outside was warm, but Nia felt cold and kept her head buried in silence. "Miss Davidson, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Lucia stared at Nia for a moment and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Nia was called on suddenly, and immediately raised her head and smiled and replied, "Maybe the air conditioner in the restaurant was turned on too low just now. I felt a little dizzy when I walked outside."

"That's..." Lucia frowned lightly, and said with concern. "You have to be careful. It's not the hottest summer yet, and it's still easy to catch a cold. Mr. Wood, you have to take good care of Miss Davidson." With that said, Lucia looked over to Casper.

"Of course, I will take good care of her." Annoyed by Nia's unnatural reaction, Casper said something ambiguous, and then asked,

"Are you and Mr. Davies going home?"

"No, we'll go for a walk first. You go first." Arthur put his arm around Lucia's shoulder and said with a smile.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Casper responded politely, but glanced at Arthur's hand on Lucia's shoulder from the corner of his eye, and then took Nia to leave first. As soon as they left, Lucia couldn't help complaining,

"The relationship between these two people really can't stand the test... One sentence can provoke them."

"Because the relationship of combining interests can't be solid," Arthur said half-sarcastically, "They are now on their own, which is beneficial to us."

"That being said..." Lucia stood next to Arthur, and the two walked into the crowd together. She couldn't help but think of what Nia said to herself that day, and said with emotion,

"If Nia could meet someone who treats her sincerely, maybe she wouldn't be what she is today."

"That depends on what she's asking for," Arthur hugged Lucia, not feeling that Nia had anything to sympathize with.

"What she asks for is what she gets. Wasn't she accepting Reynolds' favor from the beginning because of her status? Afterwards, she messed with Spencer because she was jealous of you. How could such an impure person be treated sincerely?"

A few simple words from Arthur seemed to have foreshadowed what will happen to Nia in the future. Lucia looked up at the boundless night sky, and can only sigh with emotion.

"It's a good thing, Arthur. We're all true to each other."

"Of course." Arthur leaned his head and kissed Lucia on the cheek, saying without hesitation, "I treated you with sincerity back then."

"Isn't it because I'm your son's mother?" Lucia's heart warmed, but she choked on Arthur mischievously.

"Lucia, you have to speak according to your conscience. Even if you are not..." Arthur didn't hear Lucia's teasing, and was about to explain in a hurry when he saw her blinking playfully. And the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably. Only then did he realize that he was teased by her.

"Okay, you're kidding me!"

"How dare I?" Lucia said innocently, blinking her eyes. "Aren't you the one who secretly went for the DNA test?"

Arthur couldn't help but smiled, leaned down and whispered in Lucia's ear,

"That was the right decision I made in my life."

Lucia's ears felt hot, and warmth flowed through her heart. And even the evening wind blowing on her cheeks seemed to become hotter.

It was just like her relationship with Arthur.

In the underground parking lot, Nia buried her head and walked forward in silence, ignoring Casper who was left far behind by herself.

Casper was very irritable now. His wishful thinking had been shattered, and he even let Nia know that he intended to lobby Lucia for a stake. Although he didn't care what Nia thought or felt, now was not the time to turn against her.

"Okay!" Finally, Casper, who lost his patience, yelled, and the obviously impatient voice echoed in the quiet garage.

"Do not be angry!"

Nia faltered, turned around and glared at Casper in an instant, asking him angrily:

"Why don't you make me angry?! What do you think of me? Today you said that I'm the right one, but how many things are you still hiding from me?!"
