Chapter 303 Behind the scenes
Samuel followed Spencer all the way back to Jacob's office. He didn't know much about Spencer. He only knew that Jacob had cooperated with him, so he regarded him as a savior when he came. After Spencer walked into the office, he turned to him and said,
"You are Jacob's subordinate. You should know what he is doing now, right?"
Samuel nodded and replied respectfully, "Based on Mr. Taylor's current situation, he really has to go."
"You heard the conversation between me and Arthur and Lucia just now, didn't you?" Spencer asked Samuel casually, with his eyes flashing.
Samuel's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that Spencer was warning himself, so he immediately lowered his head and said, "No, I didn't hear anything!"
Samuel's ability to talk nonsense made Spencer laugh out loud. He also saw clearly his nature. This kind of person was the easiest to control, so he said,
"Whether Jacob can come back is still unknown, but whether you can stay in JTP or not is up to you. Watch your mouth, and you will benefit from it in the future."
Spencer naturally didn't know as much about JTP as Samuel. He also needed someone to stay here to help him control the situation and secretly spread the news, so he specially warned him with half a threat and half a lure.
"Yes, yes, you will be my boss from now on. I will listen to you!" Samuel nodded in agreement when he heard this.
Samuel's minion nature really amused Spencer, and then he learned about the internal situation of JTP in detail. In less than an hour, he clearly understood the current situation of the company. He said, "Lucia is my fiancee. You can't stop what she wants to do, and you have to help her for me. Although Jacob is gone, she will continue to hold his accountable. Soon, JTP will usher in a comprehensive new life. During this period of time, you should keep a low profile. Don't make her hate you, or I can't keep you."
Spencer knew there were a lot of Jacob's people behind Samuel, and it was a lot easier to do things on his own with them.
"Yes, I will do my best to help Ms. Webb!" Samuel observed his words very well, immediately changed his address to Lucia, and asked again,
"However, boss, Ms. Webb and Arthur are together now. I'd like to ask you to clarify how we will treat him."
"Arthur is only helping Lucia to hold a part of the equity. I guess he will transfer the equity to Lucia soon, but as long as he appears in the company, you should stay away from him, but also monitor his every move. Remember, this man is your future enemy!"
Spencer made no secret of his hostility to Arthur.
"Yes, I'll do it!" Samuel nodded in response, and completely felt relieved. At this time, in his eyes, with Spencer as a blessing, he definitely didn't need to be afraid of Arthur anymore.NôvelDrama.Org content.
A day passed, and Jacob disappeared without a trace. Although it was unknown how he escaped when the authorities restricted him from using his ID card, the police station reported that Jacob had really left, and no trace could be checked.
Lucia's mood was very bad when she got the news that night. After dinner in Fragranerde Hall, she sat on the sofa, clutching the necklace left by Poppy in her hand.
Arthur sat on the bar on the right side of the living room, watching Lucia with Juliana and Kane.
"Arthur, go and comfort Lucia." Juliana pushed him. It was her first time when she saw Lucia so lifeless.
"It's useless to comfort her at this time. Let her calm down for a while." Although Arthur wanted to hug Lucia, he also knew that he needed to give her some space.
"Does Jacob have that much ability? He can leave Athegate so easily when his movement is restricted..." To be honest, Kane thought he couldn't escape when he knew Jacob might run away today. "Jacob doesn't, but Spencer has." Arthur looked down and whispered.
"Why on earth does Spencer help Jacob?" Juliana was a little puzzled, and until now, she didn't understand why Spencer did everything.
"Spencer and Erik were entrusted by my parents to go to Chicago to settle their grudges with Esmae. I didn't expect that he would take this opportunity to have a connection with Esmae. Esmae has a deep hatred for my parents, so she strongly opposes me being with Lucia. Spencer falls in love with Lucia later, and he and Esmae hit it off. On the one hand, Spencer approaches Jacob to use him to attack me. On the other hand, he secretly induces Jacob to lose his mind. I have to say that he is really smart. Can't get rid of him."
Arthur's eyes were cold, revealing Spencer's purpose one by one.
Juliana knew that Spencer was hostile to Arthur, but Kane didn't. He asked, "Isn't Spencer your cousin? Why is he targeting you everywhere, and blatantly robbing you of Lucia?"
"Spencer's grandfather and my grandfather are two brothers, who managed the Davis family's property together, but Grandpa Frank passed away early, so my grandpa inherited all the property rights of the Davis family. Erik has always been dissatisfied with this. Although my Grandpa doesn't have any prejudice against him and Ellio, they always think that Grandpa is biased and is only for his own children. Now that Erik's company has frequent incidents, they blame everything on my grandpa and hate my father. That's why he overtly agrees but covertly oppose sand secretly colludes with Esmae." Arthur explained.
"Since they already knew that they have this intention, why did your parents ask them to negotiate with Esmae?" Kane asked again.
"People are separated from each other. In the early years, they really couldn't see that they hate our family so much. Now they have found Esmae, the backer, and finally they offend us openly." Arthur's tone was filled with anger, and it was really uncomfortable to be betrayed by his relatives.
"I see..." Kane sighed and said, "It really is a wealthy family. For the sake of money and power, they don't care about the kinship."
Arthur and Juliana looked at each other and said nothing to refute. The two were in the rich and powerful family, and they had already seen countless fights for power and profit. It was no wonder that brothers, fathers, sons, and sisters turned against each other for selfish desires.
"Esmae too, why bring Lucia and Spencer together?" Juliana muttered in dissatisfaction.
"It's because he is Spencer, my cousin. Esmae forced Lucia to get engaged to him. Once her plan succeeds, Lucia will be my cousin-in-law. No matter how much we love each other, it will involve human relations and will be reviled by the world in the future." Arthur explained coldly.
