Chapter 38 Making a Third Party the Instrument of a Crime



It was reported that Webbex Group’s young lady, Lucia, who betrayed Jacob five years ago, came back to the country. First, she got an offer from Jibillion Inc’s Eduard, and then she was ambiguous with Arthur, trying to take back the JTP Group.

As you could imagine, when the public saw these reports, they immediately set off a vicious attack on Lucia, who was no stranger to them.

Some people signed up on Jibillion Inc’s official Twitter to ask Lucia to be fired, and some people frantically called Branch of Davonnis to see Arthur and let him see the true face of Lucia.

Others gloated that Lucia and Eduard were a perfect match. In short, there was a huge wave of negative comments and very few people spoke up for Lucia.

The official website of Jibillion Inc was nearly knocked down by the curse word on the Internet. Even if Eduard wanted to hide it, he couldn’t stop Lucia from knowing about it.

It took Lucia almost no effort to guess who was behind the report. Five years ago, Jacob and Poppy came to the hotel with a bunch of reporters. Now they were again using the power of the media against her. Lucia wasn’t surprised at all. She just didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Nia stood at Lucia’s desk with an anxious look on her face as she looked through the messages on the company website. As Lucia’s face grew grimmer and grimmer, she finally stepped forward. “Don’t look. Those people don’t know the truth, and it’ll only upset you more.”

Lucia was reading a message that said, “Lucia, you son of a bitch. You can be a bitch, but can’t you just leave Arthur and Eduard alone?” Looking at the words, Lucia felt very heavy.

Back at Athegate, she had not meant to hurt anyone, but now it seemed impossible.

She had really become a target.

“Well, Poppy did a pretty good job of making a third party the instrument of a crime.” Lucia shut down her official Twitter account and said with a slight frown.

“Lucy…” Nia was relieved to see that Lucia finally stopped checking the negative comments. “Mr. Burton has arranged public relations to deal with this matter. It is all gossip and it will be over soon.”

“It won’t.” Lucia knew this was not something PR could handle. Poppy wouldn’t stop until she was in big trouble.

Nia pressed her lips together and couldn’t say anything.

Lucia picked up her cell phone and called Arthur. The report just emerged this morning, and now it has caused a huge negative impact on Jibillion Inc. She wanted to know what was going on with Arthur.

Arthur picked up the phone before the third ring, and his first question was, “Lucia, how are you?”

When Lucia heard this, her heart warmed up and she asked him, “Is everything okay there?”

“Yeah, it’s just some phone calls. I’m working on the presentation right now. We can have it this afternoon.”

“Presentation?” Lucia was puzzled.

“Yes, presentation. You can talk to Eduard this afternoon and not go to work. I will solve this problem.” Arthur’s voice was steady.

“What is the presentation about?” Lucia wanted to know Arthur’s solution. She didn’t want to make it difficult for him. Lucia didn’t expect all this to happen so early this morning when the two of them had just confessed to each other last night. She felt guilty.

“You’ll find out this afternoon.” Arthur was not anxious now, on the contrary, he sounded buoyant.

Lucia smiled at Arthur’s occasional naughtiness and then said, “So, I don’t have to do anything?”

“Of course, since I’m here,” Arthur replied in the affirmative.

Arthur’s words made Lucia narrow her eyes slightly, and once again she deeply realized the happiness of being cared for. After hanging up the phone, her smile was still on her face, which stunned Nia.

“Lucy, are you dating Mr. Davies?” Nia couldn’t help but wondered because Lucia was so gentle on the phone.

“Yes,” Lucia answered frankly. She and Arthur had already made their relationship clear, so there was no need to hide it.

“Really?” Nia almost jumped with surprise when Lucia finally admitted her relationship with Arthur.

Lucia smiled and nodded slightly.

Theodore was so amazing!Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Nia had to sigh in her heart. Theodore asked Arthur to pretend to be Lucia’s boyfriend, but in the end, Arthur and Lucia actually got together. That was amazing!

The details were beyond his control as a child, but what he had said was prophetic.

Nia even thought that the next time she met a man she liked, she would ask Theodore to help with the planning!

Lucia told Nia about her next schedule, and then went to the president’s office to talk to Eduard. Unexpectedly, she ran into Eduard’s dilemma.

“Okay, got it.” Eduard had just hung up the phone from Jibillion Inc’s headquarters when Lucia entered the office. The expression on his face became grave when he saw her coming.

Lucia sensed this and did not speak first. Instead, she waited for Eduard to speak. Subconsciously, she knew that the call must have been about her.

Sure enough, after asking Lucia to sit down on the sofa, Eduard said in a quandary, “Lucia, take a break for a while.”

He just received a phone call from the headquarters of Germany Jibillion Inc. On the phone, the senior management asked him about the matter of Lucia and reminded him that the market in the European Region would be affected if the situation continued.

As the head of Jibillion Inc European Region, Eduard tried his best to explain that this case was malicious and slander, but the headquarters “suggested” to suspend Lucia temporarily for the sake of the overall situation to calm public anger.

Lucia was relieved to hear Eduard’s words. It’s a smart move. Now that she was suspended, the public would surely feel that their opinion had been recognized once they knew the news, and the negative impact on Jibillion Inc would be smaller. Therefore, Lucia could totally understand Eduard. “Okay, I’ll go to the personnel department and check in and wait for the reinstatement notice.”

“By the way, Arthur has just informed me that he’s going to take me to a press conference this afternoon about this myth, and I’ll remind him to control the comments about the company as well.” Seeing Eduard was silent, Lucia remembered why she was looking for him and continued.

“Really?” Eduard looked at Lucia, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, “Are you with him already?”

As one of the people involved in the rumor, Eduard could probably guess how Arthur put a stop to it.

Lucia gasped for a moment and nodded gently. Eduard was also in trouble because of her, so she wouldn’t hide anything from him.

Eduard was dismayed at this. If he was the one who drove her home last night, was there still a chance that things could change between them?
