Chapter 66 – Getting into trouble
This is not the first time Lucia has heard these questions, so she just smiled lightly and didn’t answer anything.
Seeing Lucia’s reticence, Eduard sighed and said to her again, “What, don’t you think of me as a friend?”
Lucia shook her head and said, “No, it’s just that there are some things that only you can carry, you’ve helped me a lot, I can’t bother you anymore.”
Lucia knows that Eduard has withstood a lot of pressure from the headquarters for herself, and she also knows that Eduard has also helped herself to suppress the media and public opinion, and she has nothing to repay, so she cannot receive any more favors.
“I am …” Eduard almost said what he really thought, he wanted to say I am willingly, but thinking of his lack of position, he retracted his words stiffly and turned to say: “Your friend. It is right for friends to help each other, maybe one day I will need your help too?”
Lucia smiled and said to Eduard, “Then I will definitely pull out both swords.”
Lucia’s rather jaded words made Eduard laugh, so he stopped talking about Arthur and Jacob and ordered the company’s housekeeping to restore Lucia’s office to its original state, and when everything was done, Lucia was able to return to her own office, but no longer interested in working.
Lucia was tired, really tired, one thing after another happened to her, one after another, and she barely had room to breathe.
At this time Lucia, unusually want Arthur, she is sure that if Arthur understand their own suffering, he will come forward to carry all for themselves, but Lucia can not say anything, so only a thousand pounds of burden to their own shoulders.
That afternoon, Lucia fell asleep on her desk for the first time during office hours, and Nia found that she had covered her with a coat and found that she was still frowning when she fell asleep, so she could only sigh helplessly.
Poppy fled from Jibillion Inc to JTP Group in a mess. She had taken the liberty to act this time, so she didn’t go to Jacob to complain first as usual, but she didn’t go to Jacob, but Jacob came to her himself.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Jacob had instructed Samuel to observe Poppy’s movements, so he knew that Poppy had gone to Lucia. Upon hearing this news, Jacob was very annoyed at Poppy’s recklessness and went to her office to reprimand her upon receiving the news of her return.
When he came to Poppy’s office and saw the two obvious slap marks on her face, Jacob did not feel any pain, but laughed in his heart, but now he and Poppy could not break the face, so he said in a fake comfort:
“Long ago told you not to mess with her, and look at it now, instead of getting yourself into a fishy mess.”
Poppy sniffed a stunned, know that the deficit, very rare pursed his lips not to say anything not to refute.
Jacob was happy to see her like this, but he asked, “Who had the nerve to hit you?”
Jacob is deliberately stimulating Poppy, of course he knows it’s Lucia, Poppy
There is still some reputation in Athegate, and people generally do not dare to touch her.
“Who else could it be but that bitch!” Poppy said through gritted teeth at the mention of the slap she received.
“Why didn’t you discuss this with me before you went?” Jacob comforted a few times and now began to chastise.
Poppy sorrowfully looked askance at Jacob, heart complained that he did not care more, the words on the mouth also more vicious: “It is not you have to go out and meet with her alone, you do not consider my feelings, so I just want to go to her after the report to fill a knife, did not expect … ”
What Poppy couldn’t say Jacob said for her: “I didn’t think I’d suffer a big loss instead?”
Poppy pursed her lips again, her teeth ground to a cackle.
“I do not know what you are afraid of, Lucia has always been our prey, back then I did not have half a heart for her, not to mention that she is now our biggest threat, if I have any idea about her, it is not digging your own grave? If you are jealous, you should be sensible, okay?” Jacob’s face is not red when he lies.
“But …” Poppy wanted to say but now Lucia is different from the past, but she did not dare to say, afraid that once she said it instead like a reminder of Jacob.
“No buts, I do everything for us, for JTP Group, you see this morning’s report has succeeded in making Lucia again become the target, you go to the trouble, the trouble is even, and finally lost to others back, this is not their own face? Do you really think those people outside are stupid? Do not understand the conspiracy of unknown trickery? Don’t do these reckless things again, okay?”
Jacob’s words were so heartfelt that even though Poppy was stubborn, she was moved and told Jacob that she would never act without permission again and that she would do whatever he wanted. This woman, too good at bad things!
That afternoon, Lucia was not the only one who was upset, Sophie was also upset.
Sophie received Lucia’s call and contacted Arthur, but he didn’t answer his phone, Sophie was so anxious, according to Lucia, her son was very emotional, she was really afraid that something would happen to him, but the more afraid people are, the more they get.
Around 5:30, at the height of the city’s traffic jam, Sophie received a call from Kyle, who said that Arthur had been in a car accident and was now at Municipal Harmony Hospital and asked Sophie to go there immediately.
Sophie was so shocked by the call that she dropped her phone on the floor. After calming down a bit, she asked Jan to take her to the hospital.
In the emergency room, Arthur was surrounded by a group of doctors and nurses on the bed, Sophie took a look at the situation
She thought her son was seriously injured, and was shocked to faint, and her feet were floating, but she still had Kylestanding beside her, and Kyle was quick to help Sophie, and rushed to call the doctor to come and see.
The nurses who had been standing by Arthur’s bedside shifted positions and gathered around, and only then did Sophie, who had settled down, see Arthur’s current appearance.
In the emergency room bed, Arthur’s head bandaged, bandages faintly oozing blood, left and right hands are hanging color, but the wounds have been bandaged, the only seemingly serious injuries, is the left calf was put in a cast, the whole person still looks quite spry.
Seeing Sophie faint, Arthur wanted to go over but couldn’t move, so he questioned Kyle: “What’s going on?”
