She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 96

Erik finally stated his purpose. Esmae smiled slightly and disdain him, "I'm sorry. If I want to revenge, I don't need to cooperate with anyone."

Esmae was conceited but confident at the same time.

"Really?" Erik didn't show a hint of disappointment at Esmae's unhesitating refusal, but said instead, "You must have things beyond your control, right?"

"What do you mean?" Esmae asked with coldness.

"I heard your adopted daughter is in love with Edwin's third son, Arthur, and has a son. This relationship can be comparable to Romeo and Juliet. I am afraid that you and Edwin will become relatives." Erik said with a smile.

Speaking of Lucia and Arthur, Esmae's eyes became even colder. She sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Lucia listens to my words and has cut ties with Arthur!"

Being in-law with Edwin? ! impossible!

"Really?" Erik smiled, then asked Spencer to put his laptop on the table, turned the screen to Esmae, and continued, "You're so poorly informed."

Esmae was puzzled. She looked at the laptop. After a few glances, she took the laptop closer to her, and then quickly browsed. Gradually, she grimaced.

"Ms. Wilson, it looks like your adopted daughter doesn't listen to your words." Seeing Esmae's face change, Erik said with a smile instead.

Pages of news were displayed on the laptop, all of which were about Lucia and Arthur's love affair. Those news were released after Lucia and Arthur had settled their quarrels. The reports clearly indicated the time and also advertised Lucia and Arthur. The breakup turned out to be a rumor, and the relationship between the two was still strong, and even an intimate photo of the two together was attached.

No need to browse any further, Esmae already knew that Lucia had broken her promise to herself!

Out of trust, she didn't pay attention to Lucia's current situation after that. And she didn't expect it!!

Esmae was furious, but her face gradually returned to normal. She pushed the laptop back, looked at Erik and said, "What's the purpose of showing me these reports?"

"You can kill two birds with one stone by working with me. One is to avenge Sophie who took Edwin away, and two, I can help you let Lucia break up with Arthur." Erik said confidently.

"You have this ability?" Esmae unabashedly expressed her doubts.

Erik was not annoyed, but had a smug smile on his face, and replied, "Our interests are the same. You don't have to care what method I use. As long as you can help me, I can solve all your worries for you."

Esmae pondered for a while. Lucia and Arthur's reunion had made her clearly realize that she did not listen to her advice, and she could not let Lucia leave Arthur willingly by ordinary means. If Erik had a way...

Finally, Esmae looked up at Erik and said, "I promise to work with you. I don't care the way you will use, but only without hurting Lucia."

"Dad, with Esmae's help, it's just a matter of time before we take back the Davies Group." Spencer's voice pulled Erik back from his memory.

Erik nodded, then said to Spencer, "You go home tomorrow. I want you to find a person."

"Who?" Spencer asked suspiciously.

"A person who wants Lucia and Arthur to break up as much as we do," Erik said with a scheming look in his face.

Seeing Juliana again, Lucia felt the change in her. Since Arthur explained his past to her, when they got along with her again, her attitude towards her was much gentler. And she no longer had any hostility in her eyes. It could even be said that she was very friendly.

"You know what? Arthur was like an adult when he was a kid. And the kids in the whole neighborhood listened to his words." After dinner at Lucia's house, Juliana chatted with Lucia about their childhood.

"Looks like it, too." Lucia glanced at Arthur happily and said with a smile.

"All listen to me? You, tomboy, right?" Arthur hugged Lucia and taunted Juliana bluntly.

"I'm a tomboy?" Juliana raised her eyebrows and asked Lucia, "Lucia, do you think I look like a tomboy?"

"No." Lucia replied softly. Although Juliana was capable and experienced, she looked very charming, and didn't look like a tomboy at all.

Juliana, supported by Lucia, glared at Arthur proudly with her chin raised.

"Don't be deceived by the way she looks now. When she was a child, she always had vert short hair, and was chased after by many little girls who didn't know her gender. Is it right ? Julia." Arthur continued to expose regardless of Juliana's provocation.

"Arthur..." Juliana warned in a low voice.

Lucia was amused by the childhood friends. She was the only daughter and was brought up by servants since she was a child. This kind of friendship was something she envied but could not get.

Seeing Juliana stamping her foot, Arthur finally stopped joking and said to Lucia, "Lucia, I'm going to Mokio for a business trip for a few days tomorrow. Take care of Julia during this time."

Juliana frowned when she heard this.

"Of course, I'll take care of her," Lucia promised immediately.

"Julia, don't make troubles for Lucia." Arthur told Juliana.

"Do you think I'm a child?" Juliana raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, but looked at Lucia.

"Julia, we can relax a lot during Arthur's business trip. Can we take care of each other?" Lucia's eyes were shining, and she supported Juliana with a smile.

"Please explain what is called relax a lot?" Dissatisfied with Lucia's deliberate teasing, Arthur deliberately hugged her waist and asked in a low voice.

"It means you're troublesome." Lucia was not afraid of Arthur, and responded unceremoniously. The two bickered for a while, and Juliana, who was on the side, looked at them thoughtfully and didn't interrupt.

The next day, Arthur went to Mokio. After Lucia sent him away, she went to the company, and Juliana immediately contacted Poppy and told her about Arthur's whereabouts.

"He's on a business trip? This is a great opportunity!" Poppy's voice sounded excited.

"Lucia has been clinging to Arthur. This is indeed a great opportunity," said Juliana.

"Three days is enough for us to prepare. During this time, you must steady Lucia and gain her trust. Then we can act well." urged Poppy.

"Come on, I've been sick of her for a long time." Juliana frowned. She hated Lucia's smiling face, her calm attitude, and the happy look on her face when she was clinging to Arthur.
