Chapter 934 Give Up Again
Chapter 934 Give Up Again
Even though she said that in her heart, Nia naturally wouldn't show it, but just responded meekly,
"I see. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Libby just liked Nia's docile appearance, and taking the rare opportunity, she even held her hand and chatted with her on the sofa for a while. After a while, the door opened and Casper came back.
Seeing Casper, Nia felt dazed. In fact, they hadn't seen each other for many days. Although Casper would come back at night, their rest time was staggered, and she often left early the next morning. From the beginning, the feeling of unfamiliarity sprouted unconsciously.
She really didn't know how she trusted this man with all her heart.
Casper had only walked a few steps into the living room, and Nia had already thought quickly.
"Mom, Nia, why haven't you rested yet?" Casper always had a bright smile on his face.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Look at you. You didn't go home until early in the morning," Libby stood up to meet her son, and said worriedly after smelling the alcohol on his body, "You still drank so much."
"Do I have a lot of entertainment?" Casper said with a fawning smile, "Didn't dad often do that too?"
"You child," although the words were reproachful, she still doted on her son. Libby taught him with a smile, "Just learned this from your father?"
"I'll get you some tea." Seeing that she couldn't get in for a moment, Nia took the initiative to walk into the kitchen.
Libby secretly observed Nia and whispered to Casper,
"Casper, Nia just came home. It's not okay for you two to be so busy. When will I have a grandchild in this situation?"
The smile on Casper's face froze for a few seconds. He subconsciously thought that Nia was provoking something in front of Libby. Otherwise, how could she bring up the matter of the child so suddenly? "Mom, I'm just starting my career now, and I'm not in a hurry to have a baby." Casper said with a smirk.
"Get married and establish a family first and then start a career. Besides, you have already established a career. Hurry up and give birth to my grandchild. I can take care of the child. What are you afraid of!?" Libby said with a smile.
Casper was extremely impatient, but he still had to put on a smile to deal with Libby. While the two were talking, Nia poured him a cup of strong tea and sat obediently aside.
Casper glanced at Nia out of the corner of his eye and began to persuade Libby to go back to the room to rest. Libby thought he had listened to what she said, so she returned to the room with a smile, leaving the two of them alone.
As soon as Libby left, the temperature in the living room dropped instantly, and Nia sat on the sofa, seemingly unaware that Casper was staring at her coldly.
"You know she's not my mother. Don't try to use her to force me to marry you." Having already had a showdown with Nia, Casper was not polite when speaking now.
Nia was shocked when she heard the words, with mixed feelings in her heart. Not to mention she didn't do it at all, even if she did it, wouldn't it be natural?
This time, Nia turned back into a weak woman, looked at Casper sadly and asked,
"Casper, what am I to you now? A pawn? A plaything?"
It was absolutely impossible for Casper to view Nia's question from an emotional perspective, but immediately he asked,
"What do you mean by that?"
What did she notice?
With a wry smile, Nia said, "You are becoming more and more indifferent to me. It's fine to play with women outside, but do you think how long has it been since you got close to me? Casper, I don't even want my reputation because of you. Is it still okay to socialize outside now? Few people ridicule me for what happened back then. Have you thought about what I have done for you?"
What Casper was most impatient with was listening to this kind of theory of self-sacrifice. At the beginning, Poppy liked to use this kind of argument to restrain him, so his answer was merciless,
"Nia, don't take yourself too seriously. The relationship between us is based on cooperation. The so-called relationship is just your imagination. I have never promised you that you will be Mrs. Wood or Mrs. Taylor. If you want to keep your current glory and wealth, you just need to be obedient."
After hearing these cold-blooded and ruthless words, Nia laughed at herself. She asked such a stupid question just now, and she obviously gave up so many times. So this time, half-acting and half-grievance, she replied in a low voice,
"I see, I won't ask you any more questions."
"That's right." Thinking that he had intimidated Nia, Casper leaned proudly on the sofa, saw Nia's aggrieved look, and comforted her with kindness,
"Don't worry. As long as you are obedient, you will definitely have prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."
Nia nodded silently, but there were countless evil thoughts in her mind.
The next day, Lucia and Nia met at a business meeting as scheduled. After the meeting, the two chatted in the rest area. StandHill Investment Company was not qualified to participate in a meeting of this scale, so Nia didn't have to worry about being suspected for betray.
This time it was Lucia looking for her, so Nia felt that she was in the dominant position, and asked before she could speak,
"Ms Webb, is there something important you want to discuss with me?"
Lucia's eyes moved slightly, and she secretly felt amused. Maybe Nia didn't realize what problems would be exposed by her change of attitude, so she replied with a faint smile,
"Of course it's about Casper. You should know we've talked to Miles, right?"
"I know, after I came back, Casper talked about the process of your negotiation vividly, but he seemed very dissatisfied with your attitude." Nia chose her words carefully without revealing her cards. "So, is he lying, or you?" Lucia moved her lips, getting to the point.
Nia was not in a panic. Of course she knew that Lucia and Arthur were thoughtful, and they will never choose to believe just a few words from her or Casper. And this was also one of her bargaining chips in the game. It would be no good to reveal the truth early on.
That was why she never told Lucia and Arthur who Casper was. In the beginning, she just told Lucia that she doubted his identity.
"Ms Webb, even if I say he is lying, what I say is true. You may not believe it all, right?" After thinking through it, Nia had confidence in her words.
"Indeed." Lucia didn't hide her suspicion.
"Ms Webb, you're really outspoken," Nia laughed and said, "But there is one small thing that can easily prove my honesty."
When she saw that Nia stopped abruptly at the most important moment, Lucia's eyes moved. She smiled and said nothing. If she didn't tell her, she won't ask.
Seeing that Lucia didn't even ask, Nia felt displeased. She used to admire Lucia's calmness, but now she only hated it.
