She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 165

Lucia's heart thumped. She turned her head to look around and saw Arthur slowly emerge from behind a pillar. His handsome face looked very solemn.

Realizing that she had fallen into a trap set by Jacob, Lucia turned back to shot daggers at Jacob.

"Lucia, sorry, I took the liberty of asking Arthur here. It turns out Mr. Davies arrived earlier than you." Jacob raised his eyebrows smugly. He had got a plan when talking to Lucia on the phone. Suesa Town was very close to Branch of Davonnis.

Thinking that what she just said was heard by Arthur, Lucia felt her heart sink, but she somehow didn’t mind being heard by Arthur.

"Jacob, aren’t you too despicable?" Lucia smiled and said, pretending not to care.

"I don’t think I am. It’s just a way to get what I want." Jacob had a sly smile on his face and deliberately whispered to Lucia.

Taking her eyes off Jacob's disgusting face, Lucia turned her head, met Arthur's eyes, and said, "Mr. Davies, it's been a long time."

Lucia’s address of Arthur indicated that she had drawn a clear line between her and Arthur.

She could not see Arthur's eyes clearly in the darkness, but when he came out of the darkness, she saw his cold eyes.

"It's been a long time," Arthur said indifferently as he walked.

Lucia's eyes flashed. She forced herself to look Arthur in the eye and suppressed her rapid heartbeat.

"Mr. Davies, since Lucia said she had broken up with you, the problem between us is settled. I did not mean to do that. How about we make peace with each other in the future?" Seeing Arthur coming over, Jacob said with a smile.

But Arthur ignored him, stared at Lucia, and Lucia was looking at him, too.

The three stood like the three legs of a tripod, but only Arthur and Lucia stared at each other.

Jacob had a feeling of being ignored. He should be the main character of today’s show!

"Mr. Davies, you heard what I said, didn't you?" Jacob tried to attract their attention.

Arthur and Lucia had broken up, but they tacitly turned to look at Jacob at the same time.

Lucia's eyes were sullen and cold, while Arthur said with mockery, "Jacob, do you think I’ll let you go after you mess with me?"

Arthur was towering over Jacob. After a few seconds, Jacob gave in, "Mr. Davies, I was competing with you because of Lucia. Now you have broken up with her. We can live in peace with each other."

Jacob said that to let Lucia know that he conflicted with Arthur for the sake of her.

Though with Spencer's help, JTP Group won over Davonnis Corp several times. But what if he lost Spencer's help? It would be hard for him to take the heavy blow stricken by Davonnis Corp blow. So, he was trying to make peace with Arthur.

Jacob seemed to trust Spencer a lot, but actually, he had his selfish calculations.

"Don't you get it? Never think of getting away with it after you messed with me!" Arthur looked like a king that laughed at a nobody.

Lucia knew Jacob well, so she easily noticed the panic that flashed across his eyes.

She smiled and said to him, "Jacob, since Mr. Davies decides to not spare you, good luck with you then."

Thinking of what Jacob had done to her, Lucia baited Jacob mercilessly.

Jacob glared at Lucia, feeling annoyed that Lucia kicked him when he was down.

Heedless of Jacob's gaze, Lucia suppressed her emotions, smiled at them, and said, "If nothing else, I'll go first. You two take your time."

Then she turned around and walked away indifferently. Behind her were two men staring after her. They didn’t withdraw their gazes until Lucia disappeared from the parking lot. Only then did they realize that they were doing the same thing and glare at each other.

"Jacob, stop dreaming about getting Lucia. You stand no chance in your life!" Only after Lucia was gone did Arthur confess his possessiveness over her to Jacob.

"You’ve broken up. What place are you in to say that to me?" Jacob braced up the courage to sneer at Arthur.

"That's the business between her and me. Even though we broke up, I can stop you from getting close to her," Arthur said confidently.

"Arthur, you are too arrogant," Jacob revealed his true face, stared grimly at Arthur, and said.

"You should better worry about Branch of Davonnis first."

"Jacob, do you think you did all those things perfectly?" Arthur sneered and said proudly, "The loss of a few projects has no impact on Davonnis Corp ... You are instigated to go against me, but I am afraid you’ll end up eating your own bitter fruit."

"What do you mean by that!" Taken aback, Jacob pursued it.

"You know what I mean, goodbye." Annoyed, Arthur turned around to leave.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped past Jacob, and a cold wind was sent to Jacob, making him shiver.

What exactly did Arthur mean by that? Did Arthur know that Spencer was helping him?

Jacob designed this good show to show off, but in the end, he became a joke.

In the car back home, Lucia's hands trembled. She thought she could face Arthur calmly, but when she saw him, she realized her heart throbbed uncontrollably. She repeatedly said to herself, ‘It's okay, Lucia. It's really okay.’

Arthur who drove in another direction couldn’t be sadder at the moment. He heard what Lucia said about him. She said firmly that she had broken up with him and he had meant nothing to him. Thinking of her words, Arthur felt as if he fell into an abyss.

Were Lucia and he over?

Albeit in the same city, they were heading in opposite directions. It seemed that they could never get back together.

Jacob came home in the evening in a depressed mood. Arthur seemed to imply that he was being used by Spencer, which made him very uneasy.
