Chapter 65 Making a Scene in the Office
Whoever derogated Lucia's son and Arthur absolutely provoked her. Bastard, scumbag?
Lucia took two steps closer to Poppy without saying a word, with infinite hostility. When Poppy stared into her eyes, she had a sense of trembling locked in her pupils. She unconsciously followed and stepped back, desperately suppressing her urge to ask "what do you want".
Poppy, surprisingly, was afraid.
Lucia was once weak and bullyable, but Poppy knew very well that Lucia of today was definitely not the same as before.
"Poppy, watch your language," Lucia said as she stood in front of Poppy, speaking with a coldness in her voice as she stared right into Poppy's eyes and continued, "Who is right and who is wrong. God knows. Don't be ridiculous to bluff in front of me. If you have to force me, then well, you answer me a question first. Even if I really cheated in marriage, even if I really betrayed Jacob and was kicked out by him, then you tell me, why in the end you will become the world's best known Mrs. Taylor?
If my information is correct, you and Jacob registered to get married at the end of the year I left, right?" Poppy, you're pretty fast!"
Lucia wanted Poppy to answer the question but how can she possibly answer?!
Outside the office, the crowd who had been eavesdropping secretly felt it amazing! Lucia choked Poppy with a single question, especially Nia who even had thumbs up!
Lucia and Poppy were best friends. This was a well-known thing. But just in a year, she and Jacob divorced. And Jacob and Poppy were together. It was so fast that made people suspicious. Now Poppy found fault with Lucia, which was simply to frame herself up.
Poppy was choked for a long time, so long that Lucia suspected she was mute, before she stumbled and cursed, "Lucia, don't change the subject! What's the point of bringing it up now? What you're doing now is under my nose. I advise you to stop hitting on Jacob. With me around, you won't be able to tempt him!"
Poppy desperately tried to bring the conversation back to what was happening right now, but unfortunately Lucia was unmoved.
"Don't make me laugh here like a clown," Lucia snorted out directly, not hiding a trace of contempt in her eyes, "You know you can't get any advantage from me, so have some self-awareness, okay?" Poppy was called a clown. Her anger was instantly ignited to the extreme. She fiercely raised her hand to Lucia's face. But just when the crowd outside the door thought Lucia would take her slap, Poppy's hand was Lucia clasped in mid-air, then, she used the other hand backhanded to give Poppy a slap.
A crunching sound was followed by a breathtaking silence.
Poppy unbelievably covered her red and painful cheek. She tried to break free from Lucia's restraints, but couldn't move at all. When did Lucia's strength become stronger?
It was known that she was a weak person who couldn't even run for 500 meters when she was in college.
Lucia clasped Poppy's wrist, and there was a cold smile on her face.
"How dare you ..." Poppy had not finished her words when a second slap landed on the other side of her face, which was even harder.
This time, Poppy was completely blindsided. The first slap was unbelievable, then this second slap hurt her directly as if her soul was scattered.
Lucia's attitude was already very obvious. If Poppy dared to say one more word, she can hit her again and again!
Continuing to tighten her grip on Poppy's wrist, Lucia leaned down close to her, stared into her eyes which were with obvious fear, and gave a cold warning, "Poppy, do you think I'm still the same weak Lucia? advise you to mess with me less, and also, don't mess with my son and Arthur, or else ..."
Lucia's pair of bright eyes, in the face of her love ones and friends, can be gentle, can be kind, can be soft, but in the face of enemies, can have a chilling and murderous aura!
Poppy suddenly felt that Lucia was crazy! How could Lucia make herself shudder with just a look. As soon as she saw her eyes, Poppy was so scared that she averted her gaze.
She let go of Poppy's grip and watched her stagger backwards due to imbalance. And only when she had managed to stabilize herself did Lucia sneer, "Get lost. For those two slaps just now, take it as compensation for your smashing my office. We are clear!"
Just as Lucia finished her words, there was a crisp applause at the office door. Poppy turned around and glared just in time to see Nia put her hands down with guilty conscience. Knowing that she could not ge any benefit today, she was not willing to run away in a mess.
So she turned back, bluffed and cursed Lucia. Then she left the office with his face covered, and deliberately bumped Nia's shoulder when she walked to the door.
Looking at Poppy's back, Nia suddenly felt that her worries were superfluous, and she ran excitedly into the office with admiration in her eyes, and said to Lucia, "Lucy, you're so good!"
Nia had always thought Lucia was sheepish, and although she was mentally strong enough, how could she have ever thought Lucia could have that physical ability to stop Poppy to hurt her? "It's okay, just a little karate along the way." Lucia said with a smile.
"Karate?! What level?" Nia asked excitedly as it was the first time she knew Lucia knew karate.
"Black belt." Lucia's answer immediately elicited a scream from Nia.
"My goodness, isn't that the most powerful belt in karate?!" Nia didn't expect the seemingly frail Lucia to have this strength, and then murmured in grievance, "I have been trying to protect you..." It turned out that she had no strength...
"Nia, thank you." Nia's last words made Lucia feel incredibly warm.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
When Lucia and Nia were talking, Eduard came in. Today he went out to meet an important partner. As soon as he returned to the company, he heard from his subordinates there was an accident in Lucia's office. He immediately rushed over, so when he entered the door to see a mess, he rushed to Lucia asked, "Lucia, are you okay?"
Before Lucia said anything, Nia began to excitedly recount her "heroic deeds". Eduard listened and felt relieved. He was standing next to Lucia and did not say anything. At first, Nia did not react, and after nearly thirty seconds of silence, she clapped her hands and said loudly, "Oops! I need to go get someone to clean up the office right away. I'm going out first."
Nia finished her words and ran away in a flash, cursing herself for being too slow to react.
After Nia left the office, Eduard asked Lucia, "Lucia, what's going on with you and Arthur lately? And you went to see Jacob alone last night? Is there something you can't solve?"
