Chapter 1078 Requesting Reinforcements

Upon hearing these words, Lucia couldn't help but snuggle into Arthur's arms and whispered, "No, if I have a cold, you worry about me, and if you catch a cold, I'll worry too."

"You're afraid of the cold; I'm not. Listen to me," Arthur said as he hugged Lucia tightly and refused to let her go.

Lucia could only nod her head as she felt waves of sweetness in her heart.

Although it was only a short distance from the elevator to the parking lot, Lucia and Arthur unknowingly began showing their affection again. The parking lot security guard nearby couldn't help but envy them.

Returning to Athegate Wetland Park located in the remote suburbs once again was completely different from their last visit. The winter wind blew fiercely. Many trees had already shed their leaves and looked bare except for some small green plants that still maintained their green color. It didn't seem so desolate after all.

Arthur opened his coat wide and held Lucia under his arm because she refused to wear his coat yet he didn't want her to be cold either. In the end, this was the only solution they could think of: cuddling together kept both body and heart warm enough for even the chilly wind to back off.

Arthur had an amazing memory. Following the path they had taken before led them quickly back to that little pavilion where they met Miles once again with two trusted companions by his side wearing black coats.

"Mr. Wood, sorry for keeping you waiting," Lucia greeted him first upon approaching him closely.

"What brings you here?" Miles' tone was indifferent despite seeing Lucia snuggling up against Arthur, which made him feel slightly moved since these two were indeed well-matched couples.

Lucia stepped out of Arthur's embrace when they arrived at the pavilion but immediately shivered due to temperature difference between them causing her discomfort. Seeing that Arthur wanted take off his coat for her made it worse so she grabbed onto his sleeve instead then turned around saying straightforwardly,

"We know your current situation, Mr. Wood, but we must discuss this matter with you."

Arthur sighed when he saw Lucia grabbing onto his sleeve refusing him taking off his own coat, then sat down opposite Miles together with Lucia who explained without beating around bush.

"Someone is trying assassinate Casper recently which makes it inconvenient for me personally involved, hence why we need your attention on this matter."

Miles raised an eyebrow upon hearing this news then sneered sarcastically, "If that is true, then aren't you happy about it?"

They had always suspected that Casper was Jacob, so wouldn't his death just fulfill their wishes?

"I hate him, but being silently assassinated is too good for him!" Lucia couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes when she said this.

"If our guess is correct, and Casper is Jacob, then his fate must be judged by the law. From every evil thing he did, to make others innocent, and he must not die silently like this! " Arthur added coldly.

Miles was taken aback, and then realized why Lucia and Arthur had the patience to deal with Casper for so long. It was not because they had no means to deal with him, but because they wanted him to accept the punishment of the law and die under the majesty of the law.

"Besides..." Lucia glanced at Miles, and said, "Your son may still be alive. If he is dead now, then your son will also..."

Lucia really wanted to tell Miles the truth directly, but she couldn't bear it and knew he would not give up.

"I understand, I will pay attention to this matter." Miles said that as a promise.

Lucia and Arthur looked at each other, and felt relieved. It would be best if Miles was willing to come forward. After thinking about it, Lucia said,

His subordinates came up with his own methods one by one, and Miles hesitated after hearing this. If he didn't handle this matter properly, he will die!

"Mr. Wood, take a chance! It's better than leaving Mrs. Wood in danger."

Miles clenched his fist and finally nodded.

Since the day Casper suffered a setback at Stable Growth, he had been in a bad mood and had been thinking about who to take his anger out on. However, his subordinates were all timid and cautious, making it difficult for him to decide who to target.

Leon noticed that Casper was not in a good mood, so he carefully suggested,

"Boss, there are a few new chicks at Club Eternity. All of them are very beautiful, and you haven't relaxed for a long time, or else..."

"Have you forgotten about Rina?!" Casper gave Leon a cold glare.

"Of course I haven't forgotten," Leon quickly replied. "But we shouldn't stop having fun just because of Rina, right? We can just not bring them out of club."

Casper pondered for a moment. He had been feeling down lately and thought it might be good to take Leon up on his offer to go out and have some fun. So, he agreed. Leon's spirits lifted at the news and he quickly instructed Sage to prepare while carefully accompanying Casper by his side.

Casper stayed out late at Club Eternity that night, completely drunk and indulging in the company of others. He finally found some relief from his troubles under the numbing effects of alcohol as he embraced those around him.
