“Hum.” Bailey nodded, and the man immediately reached out to guide the position on the right.
“Mr. Wood has been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Lead the way.” Bailey smiled and raised his chin slightly. In terms of arrogance, he had never been convinced by anyone.
Lucia and Arthur slowed down and walked behind Bailey. Both felt a little ridiculous at Miles’ deliberate ostentation. This kind of formation might scare ordinary people, but they were really not ordinary people.
The man in black led the way, turned through several corridors, and finally brought the three people to a room named “Wind Duckweed”. He opened the door and said,
“Please come in.”
Bailey nodded, and walked into the room first, followed by Arthur and Lucia. After they entered, they saw the whole picture of the room.
This was a spacious room with just the right lighting. There were simple and elegant landscape paintings on the walls, adding a touch of elegance to the whole space. There was a round table in the middle of the room, on which all kinds of exquisite food were prepared. Sitting in front of the table was Miles, who was solemn, and behind him were four casually dressed men who were slightly older, and it can be seen that they were all his trusted subordinates.
“Mr. Wood, I haven’t seen you for a few years. How are you?” Bailey greeted with a smile.
Miles responded, and raised his hand to signal them to sit down. From his point of view, since he was distinguished and an elder, he naturally didn’t need to stand up to greet them.
Arthur and Bailey looked at each other, and as soon as they made eye contact, Arthur pulled out a chair for Lucia and sat down. The three sat down opposite Miles, and Arthur and Lucia each exchanged pleasantries with Miles.
Miles naturally knew Arthur’s name, but the person he kept staring at was Lucia, and he didn’t shy away from the scrutiny in his eyes.
Lucia’s beauty needed no repeat. Miles looked at her with obscure eyes.
Was this the woman his son was willing to risk his life to save?
If he had known that his son would not be serious about Nia, Nia would never be able to compare to this elegant woman in front of him, but the choice now also made Miles have a headache, because she was Arthur’s woman…
Sensing Miles’ gaze, Arthur furrowed his eyebrows and was about to make a sound, but Lucia grabbed his hand under the table. Arthur turned his head, and saw Lucia smile at him, but it didn’t mean she was happy.
“Why are you…” After a long time, Miles slowly looked away, but was interrupted after only three words.
It was Lucia who interrupted him. She turned to Arthur when Miles was talking and said,
“Arthur, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.” Arthur responded softly, and then raised his chopsticks to pick up some food for her. The two of them started to eat as if no one was there, and Bailey next to him almost couldn’t hold back his laughter when he saw this.
Miles’ mouth was still open, and the words were swallowed before they even jumped out of his mouth. He wanted to get angry but couldn’t find a suitable reason, so he could only squeeze his lips tightly and stare at Lucia who was comfortable.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Arthur saw that Bailey was still covering his mouth with his head bowed. Of course he knew he was holding back his laughter, but he still said quite seriously,
“Bailey, why don’t you eat? We can’t let down Mr. Wood’s special offer to book the whole place.”
Miles originally wanted to reserve the venue to show his strength and intimidate Bailey by the way, but he didn’t expect that Arthur’s simple words ruined it.
“That’s right,” Bailey nodded cooperatively, then smiled and said to Miles,
“Mr. Wood, why don’t you eat?”
Miles snorted coldly, raised the fork and inserted it into the plate, with an ugly look of annoyance.
In this way, the four of them began to eat quietly, but Miles was the only one who didn’t know what to eat.
After more than forty minutes, Lucia had almost finished eating. She wiped her lips gracefully, looked up and said to Miles who was just about to put a piece of meat in his mouth.
“Mr. Wood, I am very grateful to Casper for saving my life. It is also thanks to him that I am sitting here today.”
Miles raised the fork to his mouth, and didn’t want to eat the piece of meat. He stared at Lucia for a few seconds, and then put down the knife and fork in shame.
Bailey covered his mouth by wiping his mouth, and praised in his heart, Lucia, well done!
“he should be.” Miles tried his best to suppress his temper and urge to yell at Lucia. This woman had embarrassed him twice!
“Mr. Wood, to be honest, the purpose of our visit today is related to Casper.” Bailey did not hesitate, but followed Lucia’s words.
“It’s fine if it’s just to express gratitude. My son has always been righteous, so saving you is not a big deal.” Miles spoke lightly, trying his best to restore his image of a boss that had been destroyed twice.
“Of course it’s not just because of this.” Arthur said quietly from the side.
“What do you mean?” Miles was used to being arrogant, and his speech was not polite.
“Although you’re in Lepus, you should have heard about what happened in other places. I wonder if you have heard of the grievances between me and Jacob?” Arthur didn’t speak, but Lucia asked Miles back.
“I’ve heard…” Miles glanced at Lucia, and there was no lack of contempt in his words. “You married him before, and he designed to take away your property, and he was found out later. Hasn’t he escaped now?”
Arthur didn’t like Miles’ tone very much, so he pressed Lucia’s hand and answered by himself.
“Jacob used Lucia to take away her family’s property. Now the matter has been investigated clearly. Jacob’s crime is unforgivable and he has become a wanted criminal. If anyone has anything to do with him or helps him, that person will definitely become an accessory and will definitely be punished.”
“Why are you telling me this?” Miles faintly heard that Arthur’s words were wrong, but he raised his chin and snorted arrogantly.
“Nia is a pawn in Jacob’s comeback. Casper is with her now. I’m afraid it’s not convincing to say that he has nothing to do with Jacob ” Bailey’s voice was colder than Miles’.
“Bailey Davies! Watch your words! You are slandering!” Miles was furious when he heard the words, and shouted.
Bailey shrugged indifferently, leaned on the backrest and said in a leisurely manner,
“Mr. Wood, don’t be angry. After listening to what we have to say, you can decide whether we are slandering your son.”
Miles knew that it would not be easy for Bailey to see him suddenly, not to mention that even Arthur and Lucia came in person, so he held his breath and said coldly,
“Then tell me. I’d like to see what you can come up with.”
