She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 167

Back at the office, Kyle was waiting for Arthur.

"Mr. Davies, are you not going to pursue the matter?" Kyle said in indignation.

Arthur gave Kyle a look, sighed and sat down, and whispered, "He is my cousin, after all."

Arthur asked Spencer to the office today and mentioned to him about their grandpa for a certain reason.

A week ago, with guilt for Lucia, Arthur buried himself in work, and on the day of the bidding for the development project of south side, he came to the venue himself.

At the venue, Arthur met Jacob. They didn't give each other a look at usual times, but that day Jacob nodded to Arthur. His confident look confirmed Arthur's speculation.

The crowd all focused on Arthur and Jacob, since the competition between Davonnis Corp and JTP Group became fiercer and fiercer. Many people came here today to see the fun.

Only the result mattered. Jacob won the project, which shocked everyone.

After that, Arthur left the venue with his usual cool and unsmiling face, because of which those believed he was very disillusioned. Thus, some reports said Davonnis Corp was on the decline. Jacob, who won the project, talked about the future of JTP Group to the reporters and had no idea that Arthur went to the chairman of the union, Rohan Byrne, the next day.

Rohan was in his late 60s. With a high virtue, he was rehired after he retired. Most importantly, Arthur's grandfather Luis Davies had helped him to achieve success. With gratitude toward Arthur's grandfather, Rohan helped a lot when Branch of Davonnis was started up.

Arthur went to Rohan because he was the chairman of the union, who had a wide range of contacts and could answer his questions.

"Rohan, it's been a long time." Arriving at Rohan's home with a gift, Arthur smiled and greeted this kind old man in front of him.

"Arthur, I haven't seen you for a long time," Rohan admired Arthur so much that he smiled at the sight of him and asked him after letting the family maid take the gift.

"You're so busy, and you must have come to see me for something important, right?"

"You just read my mind at one sight," Arthur said with a smile, "I do have some puzzles that needed solving by you."

"Go ahead," Rohan said.

"JTP Group has been competing with Davonnis. I have checked every project, and I think JTP has no advantage over us, but it has won every project, especially the development project of south side, which I tried my best but failed to get. I think there is more to it. So could you please help me find out who is behind Jacob," Arthur said straightforwardly.

"It's Spencer," Rohan answered.

"Spencer?!" Arthur was taken aback and his brows were knitted.

"It looks like I was too gullible." Rohan, who was nearly seventy but still clear-minded, knew the reason as soon as he saw Arthur's reaction.

He went on, "Spencer visited me several times, and asked me to use my connections to help Jacob win the projects. He said it was necessary preparation for the change of Davonnis Corp's pivot. I didn't doubt it and offered help."

"I can't believe it's him ..." Arthur whispered to himself with killing intent in his eyes.

"Spencer is your cousin. I thought you asked him to come to me, but it turned out Spencer had his own calculations," Rohan knew that he was used and said with a sigh.

Spencer rarely returned to the country, so Rohan didn't know Spencer as well as he knew Edwin's sons.

"I'll have a chat with Spencer about this. Please keep this a secret for now," Arthur said calmly.

"Sure, your father will not spare Spencer if he knows it," Rohan said and nodded.

Arthur knew from Rohan that the person that was helping Jacob was Spencer.

He should have guessed it. Only a Davies had the ability to help JTP Group to frustrate him.

Arthur was kind of surprised that Jacob was working with Spencer.

He knew very well Erik's and Spencer's characters. Erik said more than once his father died early died so early that the Davies family fell into the hands of Luis who was biased toward Edwin and Beau. Though Spencer played some tricks to make things difficult for him, Arthur decided to give him an opportunity after a second thought.

So, he had a face-to-face conversation with Spencer today. Though he didn't put it bluntly, he believed Spencer could understand his implications.

"He's more unforgivable because he's your cousin!" Kyle had a different view. He didn't think Arthur should just let it slide.

"I have given him a warning. I believe he will not do it again." Arthur ended this topic. He had his own reasons for not pursuing it.

His father Edwin had always been righteous. If Edwin knew what Spencer had done, he would severely punish Spencer, which might alarm the entire Davies family. Arthur did not want to see such serious consequences, so he chose to verbally warn Spencer.

"Mr. Davies..." Kyle sighed.

"Okay, no need to talk about it. Keep track of Spencer to make sure when he is leaving," Arthur said.

Then he asked, "How is Julia doing these days?"

Arthur was busy with work these days. He thought Juliana would avoid him, but she still went to work with him the next day after he brought her home.

"Miss Knight had been staring in a daze for the past few days, I don't know what's on her mind," Kyle answered honestly.

Arthur frowned, thought about it, and said to him, "Keep an eye on her. Tell me immediately if you find anything unusual."

"Okay," Kyle responded, though he didn’t know why Arthur had asked so.

When Kyle came out of Arthur's office, he gave Juliana a look and saw her sitting in the chair and looking in the direction of the office.
