Chapter 97 Designing Lucia
“Are you sure Mr. Davies is coming back on the fifteenth?” Poppy suddenly and solemnly confirmed.
“Well, it’s number fifteen.”
“Okay, then let’s set the date for the 15th, so Mr. Davies can see Lucia’s true face with his own eyes!” Poppy’s voice was resounding, as if she was really doing something righteous.
“Miss Powell, I want to remind you again, our purpose is to see Arthur see Lucia’s true nature, not deliberately induce Lucia to commit something she would not commit, you must recognize this point, if the process is mixed with human factors, then I will immediately withdraw and tell Arthur the truth. .”
In the end, Juliana still does not trust Poppy’s character, she thinks of Arthur, but also does not want to use despicable means to induce Lucia to make mistakes, this is a matter of principle.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“I understand what you mean, don’t worry, I will only create opportunities for Lucia and her concubine to spend time alone, when the time comes to dry fire, Lucia will definitely reveal her true colors and will never interfere with her behavior.” Poppy assured Juliana.
“That’s good, I’ll wait for your message.” Juliana hung up the phone after talking about the matter.
On the phone, the corner of Poppy’s mouth immediately slipped and she said with contempt: “You are working with me on Lucia’s design, why are you pretending to be so noble?”
Poppy’s voice just fell, the bedroom door was opened, just returned from the company Jacob came into the room, Poppy immediately put down the phone and lip curled over to greet, charming voice said:
“Jacob, what brings you back all of a sudden?”
It’s ten in the morning and Jacob should still be at the office.
“I heard from my men that you went to the black market to buy a lot of hallucinogenic drugs, Poppy, what do you want to do?” Jacob has been following Poppy’s movements, and this morning he returned home to ask her immediately after he heard his henchman tell him that Poppy had sent someone to the black market to buy hallucinogenic drugs in recent days.
Who leaked this out?
Poppy’s eyes sank, the surface pretended to be calm and easy to answer: “to buy to prepare for later use.”
“On standby?” Jacob raised his eyebrows at that, obviously not believing Poppy’s words.
“You know now that Lucia is intent on screwing us, can’t I keep some hallucinogenic drugs on hand just in case?” Faced with Jacob’s suspicion, Poppy instead raised her tone, using bravado to hide her weakness.
“Of course …” Jacob coldly responded, then said as if inadvertently: “Poppy, we are one, we should also act in unison, you do not impulsively go to do something irreversible yourself You don’t want to do something irreversible on your own.”
“I know,” Poppy’s voice changed to soft as soon as she saw Jacob’s tone soften, and she leaned into her husband’s arms, softly saying, “There are no secrets between us.”
“Yes, no secrets.” Jacob responded.
As a husband and wife, the two seem to agree on the surface, but in reality, each of them has their own agenda.
On the night of the fourteenth, Juliana took the rare initiative to come to Lucia’s home.
Ask her if she is going to attend a charity event tomorrow, which is hosted by the city’s charity foundation, the opening ceremony of which will feature a number of prominent entrepreneurs, and of course she knows that both Eduard and Lucia will be in attendance.
“Julia, are you interested?” Lucia was surprised, there was indeed an opening ceremony of a charity event tomorrow, Eduard was also one of the ribbon cutters, she would indeed attend herself, she just didn’t expect Juliana to ask this question.
“Well, I’m interested in the charity, can you bring me along tomorrow?” Juliana immediately pursued the question.
“That’s not a problem,” Lucia mused, “except that I have to attend with my boss tomorrow, so I may not be able to take care of you all the time.”
“Nothing, I want to go and see what I can do, after all, public welfare is for everyone. Besides, I’m quite curious about that boss of yours, I heard that he sat in the position of CEO of Jibillion Inc European Region at a young age.” Juliana suddenly turned the topic to Eduard.
Lucia looked at Juliana, her eyes inscrutable, she vaguely felt that Juliana mentioning Eduard at this time was a bit abrupt, these two people had never met before, why did she suddenly say she was curious about him?
“Lucia, why did you start to stare?” Seeing Lucia looking at herself without saying a word, Juliana asked pretending not to know.
“No, just a little surprised you’d be curious about Eduard.” Lucia stated her doubts straight away.
Hearing Lucia intimately call Eduard by his first name, Juliana’s heart reached the peak of contempt and disgust, but she laughed it off and said back:
“Surprised? Arthur mentioned to me that he helped you at work, I think this person’s character should be quite good, it’s good to get to know him sometime.”
Lucia’s doubts are not solved by Juliana’s words. One is a business elite and the other is an archaeologist, there is nothing to intersect in itself, and hearing Arthur say that Juliana’s family is well-off and does not need the so-called business marriage to maintain the family, why would she suddenly mention her boss?
But Lucia’s heart although there is a trace of doubt, but out of trust in Arthur, love, she did not speculate more about Juliana’s intentions, only to smile and remind her:
“Eduard’s character is good, but there is a lot of histrionics, Julia, if you are interested in him, it is better to be cautious.”
Because Juliana is Arthur’s childhood friends, even if Eduard is his top boss, Lucia still pertinently put forward his own views on Eduard’s private life, but this behavior in Juliana’s eyes is like food protection, as if she is afraid that she stole her concubine, Juliana smiled and nodded Juliana smiled and nodded, hiding all her thoughts in her dark eyes.
“I don’t think it’s much. After all, Mr. Burton is single, and the only way to find a suitable partner is to get in touch with as many people as possible.”
“Good, then Eduard and I will pick you up tomorrow.” Seeing that Juliana didn’t care, Lucia said with a smile.
The next day, after communicating with Eduard, Lucia went with him to pick up Juliana for
After receiving Juliana, the three of them left for the opening ceremony together. In the car, Lucia tried her best to find a topic for Juliana to talk with Eduard, but strangely enough, Eduard took the conversation, but Juliana looked like she didn’t want to say anything, and finally it became Lucia and Eduard chatting.
Lucia arrived at the opening ceremony in an unknown mood. Today’s opening ceremony was very grand, even the mayor himself was present at the venue, so Lucia and Eduard were immediately put into a social state as soon as they arrived.
