Chapter 831 Playing the Victim

After a crisp echo resounded in the silent lavatory, Currer looked at her numb palm in a daze. She had just wanted to scare Lucia because the latter could dodge the slap easily. Why had she...

Currer suddenly realized something, so she glared at Lucia and shouted sharply, "You did it on purpose!"

Lucia turned aside to face the mirror, stared at the bloodstains on her face with satisfaction, and asked nonchalantly, "Don't talk nonsense! Do you mean I asked you to slap me with all your strength?"

"I..." Yes, no one would believe it was Lucia that had intentionally induced her into slapping herself.

Currer was dumbfounded. Suddenly, Lucia chuckled, turned around, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It seems that you're not that stupid. At least, you can tell I did it on purpose."

Lucia, your methods impressed me."

Lucia snorted, "It's useless to pretend calm in front of me. Think about how to explain to those two men when we return to the office."

Then, she intentionally partially covered the wound and slowly walked to the door.

Currer's face turned serious when she hurriedly blocked her way and said, "You can't go back! Get out of the company right now! Otherwise, I will teach you a good lesson!"

Although she was trying her best to conceal her emotions, Lucia could still see she was extremely nervous.

Are you threatening me?" Lucia couldn't help sneering, "If you don't like me, you can give me one more slap. Open your eyes to size up the current situation. Now it's up to me to decide whether to let you go."

Currer instantly froze, uncontrollably clenched her fists, and looked at Lucia with monstrous hatred in her eyes.

Meeting her scary gaze, Lucia still boldly approached her and whispered word by word, "I can leave the company right now, but I suggest you think about the consequences carefully."

If she returned to the office now, Reggio would ask her about the wound in her face and give Currer a hard time. But if she did not go back, Reggio would take all the responsibility on himself and try his best to make up. If so, it would be easy for her to manipulate him with this matter.

Currer understood it more clearly than Lucia, so she felt torn now. Before she could come up with a solution, Lucia lightly continued, "If I can influence Reggio, I will get back everything that should have belonged to me. You owe me a lot, and I will make you repay double."

Listening to her speaking, Currer lowered her eyes, kept stepping backward, and finally bumped into the door behind with a "bang". Lucia narrowed his eyes slightly and strode out of the lavatory through the gap beside.

There was a thick pile of documents on the desk in the office, containing all the information about Lucia and her family. Naturally, her experience in Griffith Organization was also included.

She had stayed in Griffith Organization for only two months. After she had been expelled, she had drawn a clear line with the organization. So, she had long had nothing to do with them.

Reggio didn't regard Lucia as an outsider at all because he had talked about the overseas mission in front of her. Although he had abruptly brought it up and confused everyone, he was actually reassuring Lucia with a hint.

Currer's feeling of unease grew stronger, so she shook her shoulders slightly and put on an aggrieved expression.

Lucia spotted her move with keen eyes in Reggio's arms. So, she immediately left his embrace with sobs, quickly walked in front of Currer seemingly protectively, and said, "It's not her fault. I am to blame for having no sense of propriety. I shouldn't have come to discuss cooperation with you at such a time or appeared in front of her boyfriend. It's understandable that she misunderstood me."

Lucia kept sobbing with an aggrieved expression, looking even more pitiful now. After a while, she comforted Reggio, saying, "I said I don't want to cooperate with you in a fit of anger. I don't mean it! I don't want such a trivial matter to affect the development of your company. Next time, we will meet and talk in private. I should not have acted so presumptuously today."

Reggio immediately pulled her into his arms again, pointed at Currer with raging anger in his blue eyes, and warned in a cold voice, "Lucia is my woman and future wife. If you dare to hurt her again, I will punish you severely."

Reggio, don't scold Miss Sullen. I will make friends with her in the future."

Lucia forced a smile and comforted Reggio at the right time, looking like a smart and broad-minded woman who looked at the big picture.

Now, Reggio was furious but could not vent his anger, so he intensely stared at Currer with a murderous look in his eyes, but the latter could only see Lucia and August now.

Seeing this, August felt a knot in his chest, wondering why Lucia liked attaching herself to people in power so much. To meet her shallow desires, she had no morals now? Every time Reggio declared his sovereignty over her, August felt heartbroken as if his heart was pierced by a thorn.

After Lucia had stirred things up in the office, she left the battlefield without blood with her head down as if she had been greatly wronged. After walking out of the office, she gently wiped the tears off her face and revealed a mocking smile. Currer was not the only woman who could play the victim. She could do it too!
