Chapter 199 Spencer Stirred up Trouble
"Is he that good?" Eduard asked defensively, making Lucia chuckle.
"Yes, it's just that he is good to another woman." Lucia chuckled and said, with sadness in her eyes.
Feeling Lucia's sadness, Eduard didn't know how to comfort her. He only stood in front of her to protect her from grievance.
Lucia was not in a good mood. Arthur would not feel better.
Arthur was obliged to take Lucia with him. Though he was afraid that Lucia would see them together, he looked forward to attending such kind of banquets. It was because he could see Lucia openly as he wished on such occasions.
Just like now, though accompanying Juliana to deal with other guests with ease, Arthur's gaze shifted to Lucia from time to time. If she was not in his line of sight, Arthur would look around to search for her. Juliana was right next to Arthur, so she could notice his distractions, but she didn't mind at all. She even felt pleasure at seeing the helplessness of Lucia and Arthur. That was her way to take revenge on them! The party gradually reached its climax. Monty Gallagher, the host of the party and the president of the Gallagher Group, answered a phone call, put on a happy smile, and excused himself. The guests were wondering what he was so happy about. After a while, Monty came back, and brought a man with him.
Seeing the man standing next to Monty, Lucia, Arthur and Juliana changed color at the same time.
That man was Spencer!
"Hello, everyone." Standing on the entrance platform, Monty patted Spencer's shoulder and introduced Spencer to everyone. "This is Spencer Davies from San Francisco. He's an old friend of mine, just got off the plane and came here. You may be a little bit unfamiliar with him, but you should all know Mr. Arthur Davies. Spencer is Arthur's cousin. Let's welcome him."
Hearing Spencer's background, the crowd immediately applauded and looked in Arthur's direction.
Arthur looked at Spencer who looked calm and relaxed. Mixed feelings surged through him. A few months ago, he had hinted to Spencer to leave Athegate, but now he appeared at Monty's party. What did Spencer intend to do?
Spencer greeted everyone, and after handling some guests, he came to Arthur with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Arthur, are you surprised? I just returned to Athegate, so I didn't inform you. Julia, I didn't expect you to change so much. Congrats."
Arthur nodded, his eyes dark with an unfathomable emotion, while Juliana lowered her eyes to hide her guilt.
"Mr. Davies, Spencer is going to start up a company. You are cousins. It seems that Spencer will not encounter any problems with your help," Monty said with a smile, thinking that the two would surely help each other.
Arthur smiled and looked at Spencer, with a meaningful look in his eye.
Spencer saw the look of displeasure in Arthur's eyes, but he just smiled and replied, "Indeed. Arthur, the last time I returned home and stayed here, I saw the development prospects of Athegate. My father and I gotta return home to grow the business, so my father sent me back first to explore the proper path. Could you teach me if I have some questions in the future?"
Arthur said with a faint smile, "Spencer, we are cousins, so of course, we need to help each other. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me. I will try my best to help you."
"My good bro." Spencer pretended to not understand Arthur's implication, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, looking happy.
After Arthur and Spencer chitchatted for a while, Monty took Spencer to meet other rich and powerful people. Arthur watched their figures, thinking.
Spencer and Monty walked around the banquet venue and finally came to Lucia.
Lucia was still stunning tonight. In fact, as soon as he entered the venue, Spencer saw her.
Spencer waited for Monty to introduce him to Lucia and Eduard before saying, "Lucia, we meet again."
Lucia looked at Spencer calmly and did not respond, but Eduard and Monty were surprised and questioned at the same time, "You know each other?"
"Of course, Lucia and I are old friends," Spencer said cheekily, even reaching up to take Lucia's hand gently and kissing gently on it.
He said with a smile, "Lucia, you look so beautiful tonight."
Upon hearing this, Eduard turned his head to look at Lucia with a displeased look.
Lucia withdrew her hand, resisted the urge to rub it, and replied in a low voice, "Yep, I know him."
'He knows you, so he can kiss your hand?' Eduard thought to himself unhappily.
At the same time, Arthur, who was observing Spencer's movements not far away, was boiling up with anger, but he could not do anything. Now he was not even in a place to stand beside Lucia. Spencer noticed Eduard's gaze, and of course, Spencer knew who he was, so he deliberately said, "Mr. Burton, thank you for taking good care of Lucia."
Eduard raised an eyebrow at his words, glared at Spencer, and then questioned Lucia by the eye.
Lucia wanted to roll her eyes as she frowned at Spencer and said quietly, "Why did you say such misleading words?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Misleading?" Spencer played dumb.
"Mr. Davies, Lucia doesn't know you that well. Don't act like you are very close, okay?" Finally, Eduard couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't say anything just now because he didn't want to embarrass Mont! Now he just felt that Spencer looked really annoying!
"Mr. Burton, you didn't even know that Lucia and I knew each other. How do you know if she knows me well or not?" Spencer was good at faking. He could look calm even if Eduard's words are unpleasant to the ear.
"Lucia!" Eduard was exasperated by Spencer's words. He turned his head abruptly to glare at Lucia and said, "You tell me if you know him well or not!"
"Don't be so childish, okay?" Lucia said resignedly.
