She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 76

Taking advantage of Kane's love for herself, she made him do a lot of harm for her and JTP Group. Seeing that he kept himself single for her for years, she secretly snickered and gloated, so the only person who can be her best listener was him.

"Had another fight with Jacob?" Kane asked directly without much guessing.

"Hmm." Poppy nodded and waited for the waiter to take Kane's order and said, "I always felt he had some subtle intentions for Lucia."

"No way, Jacob had no mercy on Lucia back then. How could he possibly have any intentions towards her now?" Kane questioned. He had seen with his own eyes how ruthless Jacob was to Lucia back then.

"Why not, do you know he actually asked Lucia out to meet alone this time? And even got a reporter to intentionally expose this matter? If it's simply to destroy Lucia's reputation, there are plenty of ways to do it, so why does he have to get into this fishy business himself?" Poppy said so.

Kane listened to Poppy's words and pondered for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "It is indeed suspicious. I have said before that he is treacherous and asked you to stay away from him, but you did not listen." Kane was also very opinionated about Jacob's character, but he was biased and forgot that Poppy was not much better.

Although Poppy understood that he was right, she automatically ignored it, because it was Jacob who brought glory and wealth to her. Poppy said impatiently,

"I know, you've said these things many time. I came out to you today to hear your advice, not to hear this."

Poppy's willfulness and stubbornness made Kane sigh helplessly, but seeing his beloved woman in troubled, he could only try his best to come up with ideas, "Didn't you bribe Jacob's trusted subordinates? They should be able to help you monitor his whereabouts."

"Those people are useless. Although they occasionally report Jacob's whereabouts to me, when it comes to critical matters, they just say they don't know. I'm sick of it now." Poppy stirred the coffee with a spoon and was annoyed. If they can be more useful, they may be able to help her to find out the real purpose of Jacob, but unfortunately ...

"Don't do this to too many people. You need to find someone who has a bit of grudge against Jacob and give the person benefits that no one else can give, so that you can buy people's hearts." Poppy was always overly ambitious. She was trying to get people to do things but insincere. This was the reason she ended up in such an isolated situation. Kane did not say it but can only give her advice.

"Good, it seems Jacob has had some comments about a subordinate recently. I'll give him a try. Thank you, Kane," Poppy listened to Kane's suggestion and didn't forget to say somethings nice. Her gratitude was always the slightest bit of solace Kane sought, and Poppy used that relentlessly.

Kane shook his head to show that he didn't need Poppy's thanks. Although he was happy to help her, he then said what was on his mind, "Poppy, do you really feel happy when you and Jacob are suspicious of each other like this?"

Over the years, Kane had watched Poppy's progress to where she was today, but as her status had grown gradually solid, her distrust of Jacob was deepening.

"Happy?" Poppy lowered her eyes and returned calmly, "Having come to this point, I would not have had the luxury of simply being happy."

Poppy was very clear. Although she and Jacob were together for a long time, and made the plot of the year together, with the passage of time, there had been mixed into too many interests between them. It had long been impossible to have a simple love.

Kane could see a touch of helplessness between Poppy's eyebrows, but he was heartbroken and didn't dare to express his feelings. So he could only hope that everything would go well for her in the future.

At noon that day, Kane comforted Poppy for a long time, and told her at the time of parting that he had to go abroad in the near future because the company had given him a multinational case, and urged Poppy to take care of herself.

She only cared about herself.

Tomorrow Arthur will be discharged from the hospital. Watching Lucia busy with packing, he wanted to help but his feet were not convenient, so he can only stand behind her. When Lucia turned around, she will crash into his arms. After several times, Lucia got annoyed,

"Can't you just lie still?"

"Can't." Arthur replied briskly.

"If you can't, sit down." Lucia said with an glance at Arthur.

"It's not comfortable to sit." Arthur replied again.

"Then appreciate the view in the balcony! I'm busy right now!" Arthur's clinginess didn't actually upset Lucia. She was just afraid she would bump him off, but she can't help it that this willful man was more difficult than her son to deal with when he was was willful.

Arthur's mouth moved and he just waned to speak before Lucia stopped him, "Are you trying to say the view isn't good either?"

Arthur shut up and did not say anything. Obviously, she was right, but he still stubbornly stuck to Lucia and did not move. And he even caressed her waist and never gave up.

Lucia was wrapped in Arthur's arms and was so angry and amused at the same time that she couldn't help but gently elbow him in the stomach and turned her head and said softly, "Arthur, you don't have to do that. I won't suddenly do that again."

Lucia knew that Arthur seemed relieved to learn the truth, but would still be careful to test her care for him. It was not just him who experienced the preciousness of the lost and found.

Arthur, who behaved like that, made Lucia's heart ache.

Looking at the soft light in Lucia's eyes, Arthur suddenly lowered his head and buried his head into her hair, murmuring in a low voice, "But I'm still afraid. You also pushed me away without warning before ..."

Arthur's simple sentence let Lucia's eyes suddenly turn. He was so in love with her. What was she really thinking at that time? She was actually willing to hurt him like that ...

"Don't cry. I'm just saying ..." Finding Lucia's red eyes, Arthur hastened to turn around and comfort her. He looked a little panic. Lucia's sentimental emotions disappeared instantly by his anxious look.

And the next second, she can not help but snicker out loud.

After stabilizing Arthur's anxiety, Lucia was finally able to get away to pack up her things. At that moment, Sophie arrived with Theodore, who had come to say goodbye to Arthur and Lucia, because Lucia had promised to let Theodore follow Sophie to see Edwin.

"Daddy!" These days, Lucia were staying in the hospital to take care of Arthur, but as soon as Theodore entered the room, he first jumped into Arthur's arms. He had witnessed that night when Arthur bravely let the doctors stitch his wounds, so he had taken his father as a superman.

"Be careful with Daddy's injury." Lucia hurriedly told Theodore to be more careful.

"It's okay. Daddy is the bravest!" Arthur had not said anything yet, while Theodore said proudly first.

"Lucia, almost done, right?" Sophie asked with some embarrassment when she saw Arthur's daily necessities were all neatly packed. This should have been done by her, the mother.

"Well, there's not much stuff. The doctor will write a discharge paperwork later and we can go home." said Lucia.

"Lucia, tomorrow Theodore and I will be flying to New York. From now on, Arthur will have to be entrusted to your care. If he is willful, you can scold him, or even beat him." Sophie said with a smile.

The doctor issued a discharge certificate at noon, and Lucia asked the doctor in detail about Arthur's care afterwards. Then, the group left for Lucia's home after Kyle went down to complete the discharge procedures.

Arthur should have gone back to his own villa, but Sophie was about to take Theodore to USA. Since the villa was inconvenient, Arthur naturally preferred to stay at Lucia's house.
