Chapter 940 Secretly Exploring
Knowing about Nia's past, Libby was shocked. She didn't expect that Nia, who seemed gentle and virtuous, would even be raped by others, and even a scandalous video was circulated in the world. This was simply extremely despicable! How could her son be entangled with such a woman!
"Break up with her immediately. You are the son of the Wood family. How can you associate with such a woman!"
Libby usually looked amiable, but when it came to reputation and interests, she was not a good person.
"Mom, but I like her," Casper had to lie against his will. "Besides, she was forced to do so at the beginning. I just want you to help me investigate her, teach her some virtues and qualities of a wife, and let her bring her mind back from it."
"Casper, aren't you stupid!" Libby stared at her son with wide eyes. "What is your background and what is hers? I used to look down on her family background, and I tried my best to accept her when I saw her. I didn't expect that she got everything by being a mistress. There are so many good women in the world. Don't be associated with such a woman. Just move out with me!"
"Mom..." Casper made a pleading look, begging his mother, "I really like her. Just give her a chance."
Seeing Casper pleading hard, Libby felt sorry for her son, so she could only pretend to agree,
"Okay, then I'll investigate her. If I find out that there is something wrong with her, you will break up with her right away, you know?"
"Okay." Casper secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally stabilized Libby.
Since then, Libby looked at Nia differently. She often spoke coldly to her and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. If Nia didn't know that she was a bargaining chip, she would really fall out with her. Libby was very bored at home that day, and brought two entourages to the city center for a stroll. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, she ran into Lucia in the business center who had just finished negotiating business with a client and was returning to the company.
Libby had a good impression of Lucia, and she had a lot of opinions on Nia recently. When she saw the glamorous, generous and elegant Lucia, she couldn't control her pace, and ran a few steps to catch up with her.
"Ms. Webb, may I know that you're Ms. Webb?"
Lucia stopped when she heard this, turned around and saw Libby.
"Are you... Mr. Wood's mother?" Lucia asked politely.
"That's right, it's me. What a coincidence." When she came to Lucia and looked at her exquisite face at close range, Libby couldn't help thinking to herself that if her daughter-in-law was such a woman, how wonderful it would be. Why Casper would never meet a woman like that.
"It's a coincidence," Lucia smiled, and asked the assistant beside her to step back, "Are you out for shopping?"
"That's right," Libby replied boredly. "Staying bored at home. Just go out for a stroll. Ms. Webb, you just finished work?"
Lucia smiled and nodded, and asked again, "Is Mr. Wood not with you?"From NôvelDrama.Org.
"He's too busy." Seeing Lucia's gentleness and politeness, Libby couldn't help continuing the conversation. "He doesn't go home all day, and his girlfriend is also busy with work, so I am the only one left at home."
"Mrs. Wood, don't be self-effacing," Lucia said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I'll excuse me and not disturb your mood."
After speaking, Lucia was about to leave, but Libby finally met someone who could talk, and she didn't know whether her behavior was proper, so she stopped Lucia,
"Ms. Webb, if it's convenient, let's go shopping together?"
Lucia stopped in her tracks, with a persistent smile on her face, and quickly nodded.
Of course, she would agree. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here today.
After ordering the assistant to go back to the company first, Lucia really went shopping with Libby. Although it was shopping, most of the time she was listening to Libby chatting about household matters. Lucia was not impatient at all, but felt that Libby was exactly what most mothers were supposed to do. Although she came here today with a purpose, it didn't matter when she accompanied her.
Lucia was already gentle, and when she talked, her behavior was both gentle and kind. The more Libby talked to her, the more she liked her. The two of them walked and found a coffee shop to take a break. Lucia waited for her to finish speaking about her son's recent illness, and said to her,
"Mrs. Wood, you should be very proud that Casper has grown like this in a short period of time, and now he has established his own company. The future is promising."
Although Libby said a few polite words, the pride in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all, and she couldn't help saying,
"Yeah, he has grown up a lot and is a lot more sensible."
"Are you going to stay in Athegate to take care of him?" Lucia laughed, "Even if he is already able to support himself."
As soon as Lucia mentioned this, Libby's mood suddenly changed, and she asked Lucia cautiously,
"Ms. Webb... do you know Nia's background?"
"Of course, she used to be my assistant. Everything that happened to her was more or less related to me. Of course I know."
By the way, Nia's lover was Lucia's former fiancé. How could she not know?
Instantly sympathizing with Lucia because of this identity, Libby didn't hide it, but said directly,
"I don't understand why Casper is so obsessed with her. Nia has a bad character and is not worthy of Casper. I planned to go back to my husband, but Casper still kept me and asked me to investigate Nia more. Is there still a need for this?"
Lucia's eyes moved when she heard this. She gently rubbed her fingers along the edge of the cup, and said with a slight smile,
"The relationship between a man and a woman is very delicate, and sometimes it is so relentless. You really love your son and are willing to stay under such circumstances."
"Hey..." Libby sighed deeply and said, "I can't help it if I don't stay. I can't just sit and watch Nia harm Casper."
After that, Libby started talking about her embarrassment to Lucia who occasionally nodded in agreement, and said nothing more. The two of them sat together for more than an hour. After Libby realized that she wasted her so much time, she was ashamed.
"I'm really sorry. You see, I've been alone for a long time. When I saw you, I couldn't help nagging."
"It's okay," Lucia said gently, "Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard. I hope you can clear up the doubts in your heart as soon as possible."
"Ms. Webb, you're really understanding, Mr. Davies is really happy that he has a girlfriend like you..." Libby couldn't help sighing.
Lucia couldn't help but smile that Arthur really should have heard that.
