Chapter 1166 Complicated Feelings

"That's why we can't let him find out!" Kevin grinned and playfully flicked Nia's nose. "If we succeed, there will be no more worries for us."

Nia was inspired by Kevin's tone and nodded firmly. "No risk, no reward. Let's do it!"

In the afternoon, Arthur came to pick up Lucia and told her that he should have come earlier but had received a call from Miles on the way. They met at a tea house with Markus and Brendon to discuss how to deal with Casper.

"It seems like Miles is fully prepared now. We just need to wait for the right moment," Lucia handed Arthur his coffee as she sat cross-legged beside him.

"According to Miles' plan, he wants to reveal everything at StandHill shareholders meeting in 22 days. Then with our help, Casper won't have anywhere else to go," Arthur took a sip of his coffee before speaking.

"Casper sent me an invitation for that meeting since I'm also one of StandHill's major shareholders now. Did he invite you too?" Lucia asked as she leaned against Arthur's shoulder.

"Nope, he wouldn't dare," Arthur replied confidently.

Lucia chuckled softly. Indeed, Casper wouldn't dare provoke Arthur but he did dare...

"What are you thinking about?" He noticed that Lucia was staring off into space while resting her chin on her hand so he asked curiously.

"Nothing much," Lucia snapped back into reality and smiled at Arthur before changing the subject, "I was just thinking about how we can confirm Jacob's identity after exposing Casper's impersonation during the shareholder meeting. This is where Nia comes in handy."

Arthur took another sip of his coffee then suddenly asked, "Lucia, are you hiding something from me?"

"Why do you ask?" She laughed off his question flirtatiously.

"Just my intuition," He answered honestly without hesitation.

Lucia looked surprised for a moment then burst out laughing, "Isn't it said that women have better intuition?"

Ignoring her joke completely, Arthur stared straight into her eyes seriously, "Lucia, I cannot let anything happen to you again so if there is anything…you must tell me!"

Her eyes shimmered with emotion but also held some hidden complexity as she nodded slightly while smiling gently, "Okay…I will."

Being embraced by Arthur, Lucia frowned slightly and couldn't help but wrap her arms around his back. In her heart, she silently apologized, "I'm sorry, Arthur. I just need to confirm..."

As it was the height of summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Every day was scorching, making people's moods restless. Everyone hoped for a big rainstorm to cool down the heat of summer, but unfortunately, the heavens had not been merciful as Athegate had gone almost a month without any rainfall.

Standing in front of the French window, Casper stood with his arms crossed, his brow furrowed as he watched the buildings reflecting blinding light under the scorching sun.

Including today, he had been sending late cherry blossoms to Lucia for a whole month. He thought she would react, but until now she had not made any move, not even a phone call to inquire. He wanted to use the late cherry blossoms to stimulate her spirit and force her to seek his help in finding Jacob's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Lucia remained so composed.

On the other hand, Sage had been unable to locate Leon and his companions. According to his report, they seemed to have flown away with wings as there was no trace of them. This had made Casper even more frustrated.
