Chapter 110 Distance Herself from Him
Glancing at their intimacy, Lucia tried her best to suppress the sadness in her pretty eyes.
Arthur didn't notice the subtle emotional change in Lucia, but Juliana noticed it and continued to hold Arthur's arm tightly. Seeing Lucia's eyes turn gloomy, she felt a perverted delight.
The three of them found the hotel manager together. Everyone in Athegate dared not to refuse Arthur. When the manager heard that he wanted to watch the surveillance video, he quickly took them to the monitoring room and asked the staff to pull footage of that day. The three of them had different thoughts and were all waiting for the result.
"Manager, the surveillance video of that day was all gone," The staff member turned to the hotel manager and said.
"What?" Arthur and Lucia said at the same time. He even took a step forward to check the record on the computer screen. The footage of that day was indeed gone.
"What's going on?" The manager asked as he noticed that Arthur wanted to blame him.
"I don't know, but the surveillance video of 12th is indeed gone," The staff said innocently.
"Mr. Davies, there might be something wrong with the computer. I'm sorry." The manager apologized to Arthur.
Hearing that, Juliana was relieved in an instant. She guessed that it should be done by Poppy.
The surveillance video was lost. There was no other evidence to indicate what had happened that day. Turning to look at Lucia, he could see the disappointment in her eyes. He also knew what it felt like. "That's it." Lucia felt a certain bitterness. Probably she had guessed such a result.
"Lucia, even God can't stand your arrogance!" Since she was at an advantage, she spoke confidently.
"Miss Knight, it seems that the loss of the surveillance video is what you want. The surveillance video can prove your innocence, can't it?" It was not like the injured party held reason and justice. The loss of the surveillance video made Lucia surer there must be more to it. And Juliana's reaction also confirmed Lucia's speculation.
"You!" Juliana could only say snappishly and glare at her.
"Julia!" Arthur called her name to stop her.
"You are still on her side!" Tears welled up in her eyes when she said this. She glared at him, turned around, and ran out.
When he was about to chase after her, he hesitated and turned to look at her.
Lucia understood the complicated emotions in his eyes. She didn't want her beloved man to be in a dilemma, so she said in a low voice, "Go ahead."
After casting an affectionate look at Lucia, Arthur chased after Juliana.
Staring after Arthur, for the first time, Lucia felt that the rift between them grew.
When Lucia walked to the hotel entrance, Arthur's car was gone.
'It must be Juliana who insisted on leaving me alone.' At this thought, Lucia felt sadder and walked into the crowd.
On the other side of the city, Jacob met an uninvited guest.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the JTP President's Office, Jacob sat down as the handsome and scholarly man sat down, asking with doubt, "You are Arthur's cousin?"
"Yep,
"Yes, I'm Spencer Davies, Arthur's cousin." The man smiled playfully.
Jacob was confused after hearing the answer, thinking, 'Spencer said he just came back from New York. What was his purpose for coming to me?'
"Mr. Taylor, don't worry." Noticing Jacob's suspicious look, Spencer said calmly, "I'm here to work with you."
"Work with me?" Jacob raised his eyebrows.
"Yep," Spencer smiled and continued, "I heard that you have been on bad terms with my cousin recently."
Seeing Spencer talk calmly, Jacob guessed that he must have known a lot about them, so he said frankly, "He is dating my ex-wife now. Quite annoying."
"At that time, you and Poppy conspired to get the Webb family's property. Now Lucia has returned home. That should be the reason you are unhappy, right?" Spencer chuckled, making a mockery of Jacob's bad deeds.
Jacob was not vexed at all. Instead, he leaned against the sofa leisurely.
Since Spencer wanted to work with him, the cooperation must suit their interests, so he didn't mind Spencer talking about his bad deeds at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "How do you intend to work with me?"
"Mr. Taylor, you are really impressed." Spencer appreciated Jacob's brass neck. He believed those who would feel guilty or fearful could not achieve a lot.
Then he continued, "I hope you can work with me to break up Arthur and Lucia. Without Arthur as her backer, Lucia will pose no threat to you." This suggestion sounded good, but...
Jacob smiled and asked, "What good will it do to you?"
"That's not your concern." Spencer would not tell his family affairs to Jacob, so he just said, "You just need to know that we have the same purpose."
Jacob let out a chuckle, and stared at Spencer, saying, "Mr. Davies, you suddenly come to me and want to work with me. It's not strange if you were his foes, but you are his cousin. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Do you think I will trust you?"
Jacob was not stupid.
Being questioned by Jacob, Arthur was still calm. Instead of answering his question, he picked up the coffee cup on the table, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Taylor, based on my understanding of JTP Group, you are not strong enough to fight against him on your own, are you?"
The smile on Jacob's face froze. It seemed that Spencer kinda touched Jacob's nerve. Indeed, Jacob wouldn't have so many concerns if he was strong enough.
"But I am strong enough." Arthur turned to look at Jacob and said confidently.
"You impress me a lot!" On second thought, Jacob thought it was unnecessary for him to test Spencer just now.
'Spencer clearly knows my background and could have worked with Arthur to destroy me. Why bother to come to me and propose to work with me?'
"Let me show my sincerity in working with you." Spencer glanced at Jacob and took out a document from the secret pocket of his suit and put it on the table. He continued, "A warming gift."
Instead of reading the documents, Jacob said politely, "Mr. Davies, you just returned home. Let me help you settle down. Later, we can discuss the cooperation in detail."
