She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 114

Noticing the weakness shown in the corner of her eyes, Kane softened and could not say any more words to blame her. But he was also worried about Juliana.

The next day after talking with Poppy, 22 days after Juliana's accident, Kane dialed her.

No one answered the phone. Kane wanted to give up, but his heart told him to persist. So, he called her over and over again. Finally, he got through to her.

However, only a slight breathing sound could be heard over the phone. Kane hesitated for a moment, summoned up his courage, and asked softly.

"Julia... is that you?"

He was talking nonsense, but he could only start the conversation in this way.

After a long while, Kane heard "Hmm".

"How are you... now?" Kane knew it was shameless of him to ask such a question, but he wanted to know Juliana's current situation.

Silence fell again. Kane waited patiently, but only a busy tone came.

Juliana hung up the phone. He looked at his mobile phone and felt lost, but a message came later.

"At three in the afternoon, in front of the museum."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kane waited in front of the city museum. This was the place he had taken Juliana to visit. She chose to meet him here. Kane had mixed feelings.

At three o'clock, Kane, who had been standing at the door for an hour, saw Juliana. At first glance, Kane could hardly recognize the person in front of him.

When he saw Juliana for the first time, they were in Kenya. At that time, she wore a uniform with a sweet and bright smile on her face. But now the woman coming over to him seemed to exude cold air. No vitality could be seen in her round eyes and the smile on her lips was bitter. Kane lowered his head in shame.

Juliana walked slowly towards Kane. Each step was heavy and seemed to exhaust her.

In fact, she was not only afraid to face those who didn't know it, but also Kane, who was on the spot at that time. This man she had a crush on witnessed her being raped. Whether he fainted or not, he was there.

This was the deepest thorn in Juliana's side.

She knew that she could not get over it, but she really wanted to know what happened to Kane later.

She didn't have the courage to ask on the phone, so she asked him out to see him.

When she came to Kane, Juliana managed a smile, but she didn't know how bitter her smile looked. She asked Kane softly, "How are you?"

She saw the scar on Kane's forehead. After more than half a month, the scabs formed on the wound had fallen off, but there were still traces.

Hearing her question, Kane felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife. Even now, she was still considerate of him.

Struggling within himself, he wanted to kneel in front of Juliana, but the weakness shown by Poppy yesterday stopped him from doing that, so he could only answer in a low voice, "I'm fine... How about you?"

Juliana's eyes immediately got wet after hearing his question.

She lowered her eyes, walked up the steps, and walked straight in. After suppressing her emotion for a while, she turned to Kane and said, "Let's go. Show me around."

Kane was stunned for a long while before he followed her. He clearly saw that Juliana had tears in her eyes.

That afternoon, Kane walked around the whole museum with Juliana. When they came here for the first time, Juliana introduced those cultural relics to him excitedly, but now she couldn't be more silent.

Juliana could visit the museum with him. It indicated that she was fine, but Kane was well aware that she was just physically fine, and maybe she could never recover from her mental distress.

After a long struggle with himself, Kane failed to tell the truth to Juliana, as he could not betray Poppy. Then they got separated without even saying goodbye.

After they split in front of the museum, a man stood in the distance and looked at them with an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.

The feud between Spencer and Jacob had long been known to the whole Athegate. They were in an adversarial relationship in the eyes of the public, and Jacob was not competent enough to compete with Spencer in the eyes of the businessmen. But somehow, JTP Group seemingly got some support and was able to rival Branch of Davonnis, and almost won in all the competitions.

A month later, Jacob had successfully stolen four projects from Branch of Davonnis before the new year holidays began. Obviously, Jacob was targeting Branch of Davonnis. Arthur respected the rules of the market, but he noticed something was wrong after several rounds of the contest.

Though Arthur was not involved in those projects, the project plans were thorough and it was easy for his company to win over them. However, his company lost to JTP Group in the end. Though his company suffered a great loss, he cared more about who was supporting Jacob.

When Arthur was puzzled and couldn't figure it out, Jacob was celebrating his victory with Spencer, Arthur's cousin.

"Mr. Davies, you're so amazing. You have easily persuaded the decision-makers of these projects. Well, I think Arthur has yet to figure out what happened."

Late at night, Jacob invited Spencer to a high-end club in Athegate and said proudly while clinking glasses with Spencer.

"It's a piece of cake. Arthur has always been pretentious. He has hardly encountered any setbacks since young. It's time for him to know how it feels to fail." It seemed that Spencer helped Jacob, but actually, Spencer just used him to crack down Branch of Davonnis.

"Come on, cheers!" Jacob got happier and raised his glass to propose a toast.

After clinking glasses with Jacob, Spencer seemed to ask unintentionally, "That day, when I mentioned Lucia, I found he was acting strangely. Something must have happened between them. Do you know what it is?"

"Well..." Jacob drank a lot of wine, and he had begun to trust Spencer, so he replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to my wife. She conspired with Juliana, Arthur's friend, to set Lucia up to have sex with Eduard. But I destroyed their plan and saved Lucia. She had taken an overdose of hallucinogens at that time. I confined her in the hospital for three days to let her receive treatment. After she returned, she didn't dare to tell Arthur the truth, and thus they quarreled."

"Juliana is at home?" This was the first time Spencer had heard of it.

"Well, I don't know what method my wife used to get her to agree to cooperate. Anyway, it helped me indirectly." Jacob smiled proudly as he talked to Spencer. Lucia owed him her life because of that.

While Jacob was speaking, Spencer thought to himself. 'Juliana must live in Arthur's home when she returns to Athegate. But I did not see her when I went to Arthur's place that day. She knows me. But why did she avoid me that day? Something must have happened to her.'
