She is a CEO novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657 Accidental Leak

Spencer turned serious as he stared at Lucia. Wondering, he finally asked,

"Lucia, did you slander me in front of Ms. Wilson?!"

For a moment, Lucia thought that Spencer become stupid after being locked up for days. She laughed in anger and retorted to Spencer,

"You... do I have to slander you?"

Lucia's thinly veiled sarcasm left Spencer speechless again, and when he saw how much it was against him to go on talking about Esmae, he said instead,

"Even if Ms. Wilson already has this idea, do you dare? If you leave me, your son will be beyond saving. Although he is still healthy now, in the future... who knows?"

If Spencer didn't mention Theodore, it would be fine. However, he did it, especially when he implied that he was cursing Theodore for a possible relapse, which made Lucia extremely angry. Then she said things without consideration,

"Spencer, do you really think you're the only one who can save Teddy? To be be honest with you, if I didn't want you to help me get Jacob, I'd have left!"

In a moment of anger, Lucia didn't notice that she had let the cat out of the bag, but Spencer caught hold of it right away.

"Not just me? Who else?!" Spencer asked.

Lucia paused, and then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She pursed her lips and said nothing more. A trace of panic flashed through her bright eyes.

Spencer caught her panic expression. He stared at Lucia and quickly thought about who else could donate bone marrow to Theodore. Suddenly, a young face appeared in his mind.

The bastard!

For a moment, Spencer was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Lucia was so focused on finding Jacob after giving birth. Even though they had a falling out, when he threatened her with Theodore, she couldn't be indifferent anymore. It turned out... ! She'd found another lifeline!

Spencer secretly sighed this damn coincidence, but was also glad that he did not argue with her in vain today!

Now, that bastard was more than just a trump card against Arthur, but Theodore's lifeblood, and Lucia's lifeblood too!

Spencer's mind was racing, plotting, and, of course, he wasn't stupid enough to say what he had discovered, which would only alert Lucia. So, he made a fool of himself deliberately and asked,

"Did you find another donor?! Lucia, do you want to kick down the ladder?!"

Lucia wondered if Spencer was really unaware or just playing dumb, but all she could say was,

"You don't have to worry about that. After a year, do you really think I can't find someone else to save Teddy?"

"All right. Lucia, you're doing great!" Spencer shouted, with a furious look on his face.

"But don't be too smug. Ms. Wilson has always valued my status as Arthur's cousin. Who's better to separate you from Arthur than me? She won't let you leave so easily. You should give up now!"

Spencer quarreled with Lucia, but in his mind he was already plotting how to keep the absolute trump card in his hand.

Lucia was so sensitive that she immediately sensed that Spencer wasn't right. Although his tone was strong, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he had something else on his mind, something she couldn't be sure of. However, she also knew that the argument couldn't go on, so she said coldly,

"Do your best to protect my daughter," Lucia said solemnly, and Gene's mind instantly cleared when he saw Lucia's grave expression.

"Lucia, what happened?"

"Nothing, just wanted to make sure you remember our deal," Lucia said, not wanting Gene to worry about her.

"Of course I do. Don't worry. I'll do my best to take care of the baby," Gene replied.

"Okay." Lucia nodded gratefully, but even so, the doubt in her heart lingered.

That night, Jack and the others found that the entire building was surrounded by Spencer's men. Because Spencer was arrested recently, they let their guard down a little. In the afternoon, when Lucia and Spencer were arguing, all four of them were resting and didn't know what had happened.

"Lucia, what is Spencer trying to do?" Jack and the others discussed the situation with Lucia.

"Spencer seemed to sense that my daughter could save Teddy," Lucia said in a calm voice.

"No way!" Victor, who was the most impatient one, shouted incredulously.

"I had an argument with him this afternoon," she said guiltily, lowering her eyes. "I may have let the cat out of the bag."

When Jack and the other heard what she said, they looked one another and understood what happened this afternoon.

"I'm sorry we were careless." Gene finally understood why Lucia had suggested to confirm the deal between him and her in the afternoon. He began to reflect on it. If they hadn't let down their guard, Spencer didn't dare come in and find out the secret in the middle of their argument.
