She Is A CEO

Chapter 926 Self-defeating

After listening to Casper's words, Lucia and Arthur glanced at each other, understanding what they were thinking, and neither of them expressed their opinion immediately.

Seeing that Lucia and Arthur were silent, Casper knew that they were not easily swayed, so he continued to pretend being miserable.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"I know that what I'm doing now is immoral, but I really have no choice. I can't leave Lina alone. Her family is not good, but she went to college with her work-study program, hoping to have a bright future. I can't just watch Jacob destroy her!"

"So you're a hero?" Suddenly, Lucia smiled, with a hint of concealment between her brows and eyes, and asked quietly.

Casper frowned instantly, and asked anxiously,

"You don't believe me?"

"It's hard." Arthur responded bluntly.

"You said that Leon and the others came to spy on you, but in the villa where Spencer imprisoned me, I only saw that they were loyal to you and risked their lives to save you. Casper, are they too dedicated to their duties, or are you not just a spy object at all?"

Lucia stared at Casper for a moment and asked.

"That's a scene Jacob choreographed!" Casper eagerly explained.

"In the beginning, I didn't think that way could save you, but he thought it would make you owe me a favor, so he bet my life! I'm Jacob's hole card to bring you down now. How could he cause me an accident? That's why Leon and the others protected me like that. Everything is just obeying orders."

"It sounds believable." Lucia's voice was still lukewarm, as if she was listening to something completely unrelated to her.

"Because it's the truth! I can't help it if you don't believe me!" Casper looked anxious.

"What about Nia?" Lucia asked again, "If what you said is true that she only helped you out of goodwill, so why would she be obedient and submissive to you? It's not like her style."

"Because she's such a bitch!" Casper sold Nia out without hesitation, "Nia has always wanted to bring you down, but how can she do it! She just fancy my power in the Wood family and wants to be attached to me. That's all!"

Although Lucia really wanted to defend Nia, she had to admit that it was indeed Nia's style.

"Ms Webb, Mr. Davies, I have confessed to you, not only for my own peace of mind, but also for your help to catch Jacob as soon as possible, so that Lina can be safe and sound." Casper played and almost believed his own words.

"In that case, you can just tell me where Jacob is. I won't hesitate to do it for a moment." Lucia stared at Casper and said.

Casper sighed after hearing this sentence, and said quietly, "This is the problem. No one knows where Jacob is at all. Even Leon and the others only contact him by phone. This is result after I gained their trust."

"You know what happened at the dinner party last night?" Arthur didn't insist on asking, but asked about it instead.

"I know... Actually, that's what I arranged..." Casper glanced at Lucia secretly, and said guiltily.

"So, you and your father have confessed the truth, but last night, you chose to obey Jacob's orders to hurt Lucia, didn't you?" Arthur continued without giving Casper a chance to take a break. "I didn't know that Ms Webb's reaction would be so big..." Casper lowered his head as he talked, "Besides, I don't dare to resist him..."

"Okay," Lucia's tone was a little impatient. She stood up and said, "I understand what you mean. Since you are also coerced by Jacob, your position is the same as ours. Mr. Wood, we will keep what we promised you before. Arthur, let's go."

Arthur nodded and stood up, holding Lucia's hand. When they were about to walk out, they instantly confused Casper. That was all?

"Ms Webb, Mr. Davies!" Casper anxiously called out to Lucia and Arthur.

"What? Is there something else?" Arthur asked slowly, turning his head and staring at Casper.

"Don't we need to discuss how to find Jacob?" Casper asked anxiously.

"Leave this matter to us. Just keep pretending that you haven't confessed to us." Lucia responded lightly.

"But..." Casper was obviously not satisfied with such an answer. The reason why he planned today's drama was to clear himself up, and to communicate with Lucia and Arthur to understand how they were going to hunt down Jacob. There was no harm at all, but their attitude was too indifferent now, right? It was like the performance he planned today was irrelevant.

"You also said that your girlfriend is under the control of Jacob." Arthur curled his lips and smiles, but his eyes were slightly cold. "If you show your flaws, it will only endanger her life, so it's better not to make too many changes. What happened before will be the same again."

After Arthur finished speaking, Lucia gently tugged his hand, as if she didn't want to stay here for a long time. Arthur looked back and smiled at her, and the two left the stone pavilion straight away, leaving only Casper with a blank face and Miles who sneered.

"Did their reaction catch you off guard?" Miles said, looking at Casper's stiff back.

Casper turned his head and gave Miles a hard look, but at this moment he didn't have the heart to ask him too much. What was the attitude of Lucia and Arthur? Did they believe him? Casper had no idea. No, self-defeating, right?

A lingering haze hung over his heart, and the furrow between Casper's brows seemed unable to be stretched.

On the path of Wetland Park, Lucia still walked with Arthur on his arm, but this time the joyful atmosphere before was gone, and the two of them remained silent, meditating on themselves.

After walking to the parking lot, Arthur said to Lucia,

"Lucia, how is Casper doing?"

Lucia smiled and said, "It's too exaggerated."

"Nia did hide well. It seems that Casper really didn't know that she had surrendered to us." Arthur replied when he opened the car door for Lucia.

"Only one of these two is telling the truth. Arthur, who do you think it is?" Lucia asked Arthur before bending over to get into the car.

Arthur's eyes darkened, and it took him a long time to answer, "Only facts can prove it."

Just like the attitude of Arthur and Lucia, they never contacted Casper after this conversation. Casper was puzzled, but he couldn't keep Miles anymore. Although he didn't take Libby away, Casper always felt something was wrong.
