Chapter 1033 Another Fortunate Encounter


    Although the matter was rified, Casper''s anger still persisted. He looked coldly at Sage who had been beaten beyond recognition, and even raised his leg and kicked his broken left leg. Seeing that the leg was indeed broken, he then said to other subordinates,


    "Take him to get treatment for his injuries. I won''t me you anymore since you were beaten up like this."


    Sage quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the words.


    As soon as his subordinate left with Sage, Leon immediatelyforted Casper,


    "Boss, luckily Sage escaped and Lucia and the others don''t know that we were behind this."


    "Do you think Lucia is stupid? Is Arthur stupid?" Casper gave Leon a cold nce.


    Leon hung his head and dared not speak.


    "However... with the recent uproar, Nia and Kevin haven''te forward to rify anything. There must be some resentment between them and Lucia, so this incident hasn''t beenpletely fruitless," thought Casper, his anger easing slightly.


    "Boss, you''re wise." Leon quickly ttered.


    "Wise? No matter how wise I am, I still need you to be able to do things well. You should give other people a good whip, and you must be cautious in doing things in the future. Sage is a lesson from the past." Casper said coldly.


    "Yes," Leon nodded obediently.


    In the evening, Leon went to the hospital to see Sage. He saw that Sage was wrapped in bandages all over his body and felt morepassion for him than Casper did.


    "I can''t believe you were beaten up like this, Sage. You''ve suffered too."


    "Leon, will the boss still me me?" Sage asked cautiously. "He''s always suspicious. What if he thinks I deliberately leaked the information andes after me..."


    "No," Leon thought Sage was just scared, so heforted him, "The boss knows that ke caught you and you couldn''t do anything about it. Of course he won''t suspect you."


    "That''s good... otherwise I wouldn''t know what to do..." Sage exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Take good care of your injury and rest well. The boss needs someone by his side, so you should focus on getting better as soon as possible and go back to work for the boss." Leon smiled. "Got it," Sage said with a grin.


    Afterforting Sage for a while, Leon left. When everything around him quieted down, Sage took out his phone and after thinking for a moment, sent a message out. Once it was sessfully sent, he deleted all the information.


    The turmoil subsided like this, but Eduard had been restless these days. It turned out that he was identally photographed by the paparazzi when he apanied Daphne to the maternity checkup. For a while, gossip entertainment pointed the finger at him. After Daphne knew that the pregnancy might be exposed, she was even more shy, because she was unmarried, and she still had some traditional ideas.


    Daphne didn''t have many friends in Athegate, only Lucia and Juliana were her closest, especially since she became pregnant and her emotions were all over the ce. So she often went to see Lucia. Even if it was just sitting on the couch watching her work, it made her feel much better.


    "Yeah, she''s with me. Don''t worry," Lucia reassured Eduard on the phone with a chuckle.


    "She always runs to you. Daphne''s pregnancy has made her moodytely. Sometimes I haven''t even done anything and she still finds fault with me..." Eduardined bitterly to Lucia.


    "That''s normal. Do you have anyints?" Lucia smiled at Daphne and asked Eduard on the other end of the phone.


    "How could I? I would love nothing more than to worship her like a god but she finds fault with me." Eduard felt extremely wronged.


    "Okay okay, I''ll calm her down for you so don''t worry," seeing how humble Eduard sounded, Lucia found it amusing andforted him before hanging up.


    "Does he feel wronged?" After Lucia hung up the phone, Daphne pouted and asked.


    "Eduard is straightforward; he doesn''t know what''s going through your mind..." Sitting next to Daphne, Luciaforted her.


    "Hmph! He''s stupid!" Daphne said bluntly.


    "I know you''reining about him because of media issues but you are a very subtle person." Of course, knowing why Daphne was finding fault with Eduard made it easy for Lucia to soothe her by smiling at her gently.


    "I also know that he didn''t mean it..." After beingforted by Lucia like this, Daphne thought that maybe she had been too harsh towards Eduard in saying,


    "But every time I see his smiling face, I just want to beat him up."


    "Haha! That sentence should really be said directly to Eduard!"Luciaughed heartily.


    "Lucia, I keeping here all the time. Have I ever bothered you?" Although Daphe felt happy when Lucia wasughing, she still felt a little guilty and asked hesitantly.


    "No way! You''re so quiet; you''ve never disturbed me before." Lucia patted Daphe''s hand back and said reassuringly.


    "Do you have time now, Lucia?" Daphe asked again after thinking for awhile.


    "What happened?"


    "In fact, I''m supposed to go for an examination at the hospital today. I''m annoyed with Eduard and I''m afraid that the media will catch something again. So, Lucia, could you apany me together?" Daphe blushed as she said this shyly.


    "Of course! I can go." Lucia said readily. Even if there was something else going on, she would still cancel it, "I''ll apany you together."


    In the afternoon, Lucia apanied Daphne to the hospital. It was quite a coincidence that they ran into Lauren and Eve again, just likest time. However, this time Eve seemed much happier, like a cheerful little bird perched next to Lauren with a beaming smile on her face. But as soon as she saw Lucia, her smile froze instantly.


    Lucia had always been a thorn in Eve''s heart.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "How coincidental," Lucia greeted them with a smiling face.


    "Uh-huh," Lauren responded when he noticed Lucia''s radiant smile. He didn''t realize that Eve''s eyes darkened beside him.


    "Are you bringing Miss Davidson for another check-up?" Lucia nced at Eve and asked with an apparentck of concern in her voice.


    "Eve has been feeling much bettertely, so I brought her here for an examination. I didn''t expect to run into you and... this youngdy," Lauren replied casually without trying to hide anything from them.


    However, Eve felt uneasy hearing them discussing about herself behind her back. And seeing how concerned Lucia appeared at the moment made it all feel fake and insincere to her.


    "I''m apanying my sister for prenatal check-up," said Lucia referring Daphne as her sister. Sensing that there might be something on Lauren''s mind since he kept staring at her intently, she proposed, "Is it convenient for us to have a private chat?"


    Lucia''s suggestion hit the spot with Lauren who turned his head towards Eve saying, "Eve, wait here for me while I talk with Lucia."


    Sincest time they met up with Lucia wasn''t disclosed by Eve to Nia yet; therefore Lauren wasn''t too worried about leaving them alone together this time around either.


    Eve was reluctant but nodded anyway, burying down her head without looking up at how both Lucie and Lauren left together side-by-side.
