Chapter 969 Tit for Tat
“No, Lauren has always acted meticulously. Since I asked him to investigate Jacob, he will definitely investigate people and things related to me when he comes to Athegate, so he will deliberately step forward to test you after he meets you. It is impossible for him not to know who Nia is. If he wants to protect her, the crux must be Nia’s sister.”
Arthur said with certainty, and he knew he was right!
“Love me love my dog?” Lucia defined Lauren’s behavior precisely in those words.
“No matter how much he loves her, he can’t distinguish between right and wrong,” Arthur said coldly, “If he really wants to help Nia, then he will be the opposite of us.”
Lucia was very worried about this, not to mention that Lauren still had Jacob’s message. Was it possible that he wanted Arthur to beg him?
“I don’t think he… is like a person who can’t distinguish between right and wrong. Maybe Nia is behind all of this.” Although Lucia said so, she thought of Lauren’s face full of arrogance and confidence. A person who was controlled by others? Thinking of this, she felt even more uncertain.
Lucia understood the truth, but how could Arthur not know it? With cold eyes, he pondered for a moment and said,
“I don’t care if he defends Nia or opposes us, I want his information about Jacob.”
Lucia’s eyes moved, and she looked at Arthur bewilderedly. It turned out that he had never forgotten the worries in her heart.
“Don’t worry,” Arthur saw that Lucia was unhappy, raised his hand to put a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly, “I will definitely do this for you. Besides, there are people who are more anxious than us.”
“Casper?” Lucia rubbed her cheek lightly against Arthur’s palm, and the brows finally relaxed a little, not for Casper of course, but because of the warmth of Arthur’s palm.
“Nia has his details in hand, and now that she has found a patron. It is estimated that Casper is already deeply troubled.” Arthur saw Lucia’s eyebrows stretched, so he smiled and said.
“Then why don’t we wait and see? Since Lauren didn’t come to you immediately, he must have his own considerations. If we insist on asking, we probably won’t be able to get anything.” Lucia said softly.
Lucia just hit his point, and Arthur nodded, “It’s true. We won’t get anything out of asking, and I don’t want to arouse his hostility at this time.”
“You mean…” Lucia looked up at Arthur.
Arthur gently stroked Lucia’s cheek, hiding the doubts in his heart. How far Lauren would go for Nia’s sister really needed to be understood.
Casper’s subordinates were not as clever as Kyle, and after the farce in the restaurant, Lauren specifically told the hotel manager not to reveal any information about him to anyone, so in the end, Casper only knew that Lauren was a foreigner. And that was all.
In the office of the president of StandHill Investment Company, glaring at the incompetent subordinates, Casper raised his hand and swept the documents on the table to the ground, shouting angrily,
“You don’t even know the identity of an unknown person! What’s the use of you?!”
Seeing that Casper was getting angry, Leon hinted with his eyes that the other men left first, and he withstood all the pressure.
“Mr. Wood, I think that man and his subordinates are very skilled, and they will definitely not be unknown. Now I am afraid that he wants to protect Nia. If he really wants to fight us, we will be very passive.”
“You need to tell me that?!” Casper glared at Leon and cursed sharply.
“Although Nia has found protection, she can’t always hide in the Dekee hotel. Mr. Wood, all her glory and wealth are in Stable Growth. Why don’t we take this opportunity to take down the entire Stable Growth? Once Nia hears the news, it will be difficult for her not to take the initiative to find us to reconcile?” Leon had always been the smartest, and he had been doing business with Casper for a while, so he knew something about the business field.
Casper applauded repeatedly when he heard this, but he ignored this point in a moment of anger. When he took back everything from Nia, can she still hide behind that man and be a coward?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, you should deal with this matter immediately. Also, send someone to Nia’s hometown to investigate. I have never heard of her having a younger sister before. Since she is hiding her, there must be something hidden in it.” After calming down, Casper also regained his ability to think.
“Yes, I’ll do it right away!” Leon quickly obeyed the order and retreated. Since he wanted to seize power, it must start with Kevin, so he rushed to Stable Growth and went directly to Kevin’s office.
Before Leon entered the door, Kevin was on the phone with Nia. Knowing that her goal had been achieved, Kevin was naturally ecstatic, and told Nia to take care of Eve, and never let Lauren go back on his word. She had to be steady at this critical moment.
“Don’t worry. That silly girl is obedient to me. And today even Lauren said he would protect me. Casper could do nothing about me.” Even across the phone, Nia’s pride was clearly conveyed.
“Okay, there is a knock on the door. We will contact you later.” Hearing the knock on the door, Kevin hung up the phone.
At this time Leon had already walked to the middle of the office. Knocking on the door was just to show him respect, and the act of walking in was not polite at all.
“Leon, why are you here?” Kevin always regarded Casper’s trusting Leon as a thorn in his side, and asked him in a contemptuous tone when he saw him being so rude.
Leon gave Kevin an angry look, and said to him in a commanding tone, “Mr. Wood said that now is the time to take back Nia’s power. You should deal with this right away, and you will leave Nia with nothing!”
Kevin pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said helplessly, “I’m afraid this matter won’t be done for a while.”
“What?!” Leon was furious when he heard this, “You dare to disobey Mr. Wood’s order?!”
“Leon, I spend as much time with Mr. Wood as you do. You should correct your attitude in front of me.” Kevin directly confronted Leon.
Leon didn’t expect Kevin to dare talk to him like this. He rushed in front of Kevin, but had to look up at him because of the difference in height, but his fierceness and momentum were not inferior to him at all.
“Kevin, I think your attitude is wrong, right? I’m Mr. Wood’s most trusted man. How dare you talk to me like that?!”
“If there is something I don’t do well in my work, I will naturally report to Mr. Wood. Who are you? Dare to question me here!” Kevin had confidence in himself now and was not afraid of Leon.
