Chapter 788 The Unexpected

It was not yet half past six, but as soon as the phone rang, Arthur picked it up. It was as if he had never slept well.

"Ms. Davidson, can I help you?" Arthur's voice was as cold as the ice.

"Mr. Davies, please save Casper. He was caught by Spencer. He was trying to save Ms. Webb!" Nia took a deep breath, and after gathering her emotions, she shouted out loud.

"What did you say?!" Arthur, who was sitting on the sofa by the window, immediately sprang up and asked anxiously.

"Mr. Davies, listen to me. Here's the thing," Nia repeated to Arthur what Leon had told her.

"Mr. Davies, I'm on my way to the villa right now. Please help me rescue Casper and Ms. Webb."

Arthur answered without thinking twice.

"Where are you? Tell me where you are. I'll meet you there and we'll go together!"

Arthur needed to be there.

After Nia gave him the address, Arthur hung up the phone. He should have been thrilled to know where Lucia was being held, but instead of looking excited, his face was as cold as a lifeless statue.

Casper fucked him up!

After gathering his men and notifying Otis and his mother, Arthur dispatched the bodyguards he had brought back from New York. They were armed to the teeth and joined Nia before heading to the place where Lucia was being held.

In the car, Nia always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't suppress the strange feeling in her heart. After looking back at Arthur's Phantom that was right behind them, she asked Leon,

"Leon, did you find Arthur's reaction strange?"

"Too calm, not excited at all," Leon replied immediately, as he had noticed.

"He shouldn't have reacted like this when he found out where Lucia is..." Nia said in confusion.

Leon gave Nia a sidelong look and stopped talking to her. This woman was so stupid!

In the car, Arthur was indeed, as Leon said, without a trace of excitement.

Just now, when Arthur told Otis what had happened, they thought the same instantly.

"Casper ruined our plan! If he hadn't acted rashly, Ms. Wilson would have been able to negotiate with Spencer, but now that this has happened, Spencer would have moved Lucia and the baby elsewhere immediately. It would have been even more difficult to find them!"

Arthur's voice grew cold, and his hand, which had been clenched ever since, never let go.

"I don't know Why Casper went out on his own to save Lucia, but his intentions were not pure. He was overconfident and alarmed Spencer! He was so stupid! Now, because of him, Lucia will be sent somewhere else..."

For the first time, Arthur spoke through gritted teeth.

"If we go now, they'll be gone." Otis knew Spencer's behavior well. He was paranoid and thoughtful, and would never stay in the villa.

"We're waiting to hear from Arthur. If he can't find Lucia and the kid, we'll just have to wait for Spencer to make contact."

Helena looked at her mother worriedly. She had never seen her mother look so vulnerable before. She had always been firm, strong, and domineering. Now that she had exposed the helplessness in her heart, Helena could only feel her heart ache.

"Mom, it's not your fault. You're doing everything you can to make it up. It was that Casper who took it upon himself to ruin all our plans." Helena said clumsily.

"In the end, it was my fault. I was so vain that I thought I could control Spencer, but..." Esmae said sadly.

"Things didn't end. Arthur and Otis weren't the ones who went to save Lucia and the baby this time. It was an outsider. Spencer is ambitious and greedy. I don't think he would be willing to give up the deal he made with you. Wait for him... and I'm sure he'll contact you again." Chris was afraid to say "move Lucia and the baby elsewhere".

When Esmae heard this, she looked down and stared at her hands. Suddenly, tears fell from her eyes.

Helena's eyes were red when she saw her mother like this, but the situation was so critical that no amount of gentle consolation could make any difference.

Chris took his wife's hand and said,

"Esmae, it's time to talk to the Davies. We have to work together to save Lucia and the baby."

Esmae did not move for a long time. Her whole body seemed to freeze. After a long time, she nodded slightly.

At noon, Esmae and her husband and daughter arrive at Arthur's villa to talk to Otis and Sophie about their plans for the future, only to be met by Edwin, who arrived in a hurry.

The four men slammed into each other in front of the door, each looking stunned until Helena called out "Uncle Edwin" to break the deadlock.
