She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 170

Lucia returned to Athegate and went back to work.

She forced herself to calm down after she met with Arthur that day. She didn’t hate Arthur, because she loved him so much that she couldn’t hate him. She could only leave in disappointment, and she started to think seriously about how to fight back against Jacob.

Lucia had thought of Esmae's suggestion to destroy JTP financially, but JTP Group was formerly Webbex Group. The downfall of JTP equaled to the downfall of Webbex Group, and the only way to get Jacob and Poppy out of Webbex Group was to prove that she did not violate his father's will.

It was hard to do it. Six years was enough to destroy evidence. Lucia did not know what to do for the time being.

But Lucia still took some action. She visited the hotel where the accident occurred, to look for the staff on duty at the time to get the whole picture, only to find the staff six years ago had resigned. Staff changes were very common in a city with rapid development.

After several visits, Lucia left each time with disappointment. Eduard found Lucia distracted for the first time at the board meeting and asked her to stay after the meeting was dismissed.

"Lucia, why were you gawking just now?" Eduard didn't mean to blame Lucia.

"Was I?" Lucia asked softly, her eyes blank, as if she wasn't even listening to what Eduard was saying at the moment.

"What's going on?" Eduard asked, looking at Lucia worriedly, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Is it because of Arthur?"

"No," Hearing Arthur’s name, Lucia answered immediately, and she quickly shook her head and told Eduard about her fruitless visits.

"I see ..." Knowing that Lucia was not dazed because of Arthur, Eduard heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You can ask me for help. I have much more connections in Athegate than you, and it's much easier to inquire for you. Just leave this matter to me."

"But that would be too much trouble for you." That was why Lucia didn't tell Eduard in the beginning.

"Save it. We're friends, aren't we?" Eduard said with a smile.

"Yep, we’re friends," Lucia finally smiled. Eduard really helped her a lot.

She said jokingly, "Unfortunately, I can’t help you much."

"You're helping me run the company, aren't you?" Eduard laughed.

While Lucia and Eduard were talking, Nia suddenly entered the conference room. Seeing Eduard, Nia hesitated for a moment before coming over and saying to Lucia. "Lucia, we have a visitor."

"A visitor?" Lucia raised her eyebrows, with a glint in her eyes. Nia wouldn’t have been so flustered if it was an ordinary visitor. So she asked, "Who the hell is it?"

Nia glanced at Eduard before saying honestly, "It's Poppy."

Poppy?

Eduard immediately looked at Lucia and had a bad hunch, but Lucia was very calm.

"Lucia, I'll walk you down," Eduard said immediately.

"No, you can’t be of help," Lucia smiled and said easily. She didn’t take Poppy as a threat, but she was a bit curious about why Poppy had the guts to come to Jibillion Inc to look for trouble.

"Lucia!" Eduard shouted at her in indignation.

"Nia, let's go down." Lucia smiled at Eduard and turned to lead Nia away.

In the corridor, Lucia crossed the work table and walked towards her office step by step. In fact, she would like Poppy to come to her to make a scene, for she knew Poppy could not stand being stimulated and Poppy would easily make a blunder. It was interesting to tease Poppy. But she also believed Poppy chose the wrong place to make a scene.

Lucia attached great importance to the workplace environment. Though she looked rather calm in front of Eduard, it didn’t mean she was not angry.

Pushing open the office door, Lucia confronted Poppy who was waiting inside with her arms crossed over her chest arrogantly.

"You're back? I thought you heard the news and fled," As soon as she saw Lucia, Poppy immediately said sarcastically.

"This is my territory. Why should run away?" Lucia replied with a sneer, then turned to Nia and said, "You go out first."

Nia gave Lucia a worried glance, and seeing her firm gaze, she backed out and closed the door.

The room was silent, leaving only two women looking fiercely at each other

Lucia looked away, walked to the sofa, and sat down. She leaned on the sofa, with her two long legs crossed.

She raised her eyes to meet Poppy's and said coldly, "What is it?"

Seeing Lucia’s calm look, Poppy was angry. With her arms crossed, she looked condescendingly at her, pretended to look strong, and said snappishly, "I'm here to warn you to stay away from Jacob! Lucia, you're a discarded, shameless slut!"

Lucia laughed instead of being angry. She found it particularly amusing to see Poppy's mad look. Scheming as Poppy was, she would show weakness and lose her temper because of the way Lucia looked at her.

Lucia chuckled and answered, "You should tell Jacob not to pester me."

"What do you mean!" Poppy said angrily.

"Don't you understand?" Lucia stared coldly at Poppy and said, "Jacob cheated on me once. Do you think I’ll be that stupid to go to him? He is the one that keeps pestering me!"

Lucia thought, ‘Poppy, I guess you must feel very bad about hearing that.’

As expected, Poppy looked grimaced after hearing Lucia’s words, because she was well aware that what Lucia said was right. But she couldn't stop Jacob, so she could only come here to warn Lucia. She was speechless.

Seeing that Poppy did not say anything, Lucia's eyes flashed and she continued, "Am I right?"
