Chapter 148 Choose to Believe Lucia
Juliana’s eyes were cold and filled with hatred. She said directly, “Stop being sarcastic. What do you want from me?”
“Nothing. I just came up with a way to both break them up and make your baby legitimate. Julia, do you want to hear it?” Poppy smiled slyly and pretended complicated.
Juliana replied without hesitation, “I agree with the plan you told me to break them up. You just need to tell me how to make my baby legitimate.”
“Great!” Poppy couldn’t help praising Juliana for her determination. Letting the paparazzi follow Arthur and Lucia indeed made a difference.
She continued, “I can make Arthur father your baby as long as you have the guts!”
Both Juliana and Kane looked at Poppy in wide-eyed amazement. They listened to her plan. When Poppy finished speaking, Juliana recalled what Spencer had said to her, and seemed to have an idea, so she agreed to Poppy’s plan and left without a moment of pause.
Staring after Juliana, Kane had an inner struggle within himself. She looked haggard but seemed much tougher than before.
“What are you looking at? She’s gone.” Poppy sneered.
“Poppy!” Kane looked back at Poppy and remembered to settle scores with Poppy, as her plan was against his original intention. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you planned it?”
“Don’t you think it’s a fabulous idea?” Poppy smiled casually and said, “The Davies family is rich and powerful. Arthur’s father is a financial tycoon on Wall Street. The whole world knows how influential he is. I grant your child a head start in life. Shouldn’t you be grateful?”
“But that’s my child!” Kane repulsed Poppy’s plan.
Poppy raised her eyebrows and said in a much louder voice, “Yes, it’s your child. But don’t forget how you change from a country boy to a success. Remember how much pain you go through to have a comfortable life. With your current status, can you secure your child’s future?”
“I…” Words got caught in his throat.
“Humph!” Poppy snorted, stared at Kane, and continued, “Juliana hasn’t known the baby is yours yet. If she knows it, can you take the consequences? Her hatred for you will make her kill the baby!”
Poppy had hit the nail on the head, leaving him no room for argument.
“Kane, it’s great news for both you and me that Juliana is pregnant.” Poppy’s eyes flashed.
She warned Kane seriously, “Never tell the truth to her out of guilt no matter what happens in the future, or both of us will be doomed!”

After returning home, Juliana locked herself in her room.
For the whole afternoon, she sat blankly in the dark room, letting viciousness take over her mind and discarding all her kindness.
In the afternoon, as soon as Arthur came back home, Juliana greeted him as usual.
“Arthur, welcome back!” Juliana had been waiting in the hallway for a while. She beamed with joy as soon as she saw Arthur. The smile on her haggard face made her look more pitiful.
“Julia, why are you standing here?” As the strong wind blew in, Arthur closed the door quickly, and then they walked to the living room.
“Do you feel better now?” Arthur asked.
“I’ve been resting for a week. It will be tricky if I can’t get better.” Juliana stuck out her tongue mischievously and teased herself.
“I’ve been too busy to take care of you these days.
“I’ve been too busy to take care of you these days. Why are you so thin now?” Arthur frowned and stared at Juliana.
He had been investigating the case recently and did not pay much attention to Juliana. How did she lose so much weight within just a few days?
“I got sick when I went to Luawell because I was not used to the climate there. I didn’t want you to worry about me, so I hid it. I had diarrhea for two days and got better when I came back here. Now I am fine, so don’t worry,” Juliana explained to Arthur with a smile.
Arthur didn’t have doubts, but said reproachfully, “You should have told me about it. Fortunately, you are fine now.”
Juliana looked at Arthur sincerely. “Arthur, thank you. You are the only one who is willing to care about me so much except my parents.”
Arthur perceived her disappointment and had a weird feeling after hearing her words. But he did not express his feelings to her.
Instead, he reached out to rub her head and said casually, “Don’t be silly.”
Juliana shrank from his touch and said with a sweet smile, “I can go to work with you tomorrow.”
“How about resting for a few more days?” Seeing Juliana’s haggard face, Arthur teased, “Anyway, you just sit there when you go to the company.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Juliana was unhappy to hear that.
She waved her hands as if to fight with Arthur. “I helped create a harmonious working environment, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, you did increase the chances of employees gathering and chatting,” Arthur joked with her.
He breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Juliana could make a joke. It meant that she did get much better.
The next day, Juliana went back to work with Arthur. Everything seemed to be back on track. It was just that Juliana hardly chatted with others and often stared blankly ahead when she was out of Arthur’s sight.
Obviously, Lucia had been in a much better mood recently.
Nia saw Arthur’s car appear downstairs again, and Lucia went out for an appointment every noon. She guessed Arthur was the guy accompanying Lucia, and she felt happy for Lucia, but Eduard was very unhappy.
One day at noon, when it was about time for a lunch break. Eduard went to the floor below to look for Lucia. After sending Nia away, he asked her directly, “Lucia, have you made up with Arthur?”
Actually, Eduard knew the answer from the gossip magazines that he occasionally browsed. He just felt Arthur didn’t deserve to be with Lucia.
Hearing his question, Lucia didn’t stop sorting out the documents in her hands and replied softly, “You have known the answer.”
“Did he choose to believe you?” That was what Eduard wanted to know.
