She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 171

Poppy was furious, staring at Lucia for a long time without a word. Thinking about her weaknesses, she opened her mouth and sneered.

"Lucia, I heard that you and Arthur broke up recently. What, have you been betrayed again? After all these years, how come you're still so gullible?"

She thought she could push Lucia’s button by mentioning Arthur, but Lucia didn't even blink, and Poppy was a bit stunned.

"I get physical pleasure from a love relationship. I don’t think I am deceived," Lucia ruffled the ends of her hair and said faintly, "Honestly, instead of worrying about what happened between Arthur and me, you might as well worry if Jacob can be loyal to you."

"Lucia! You!" Poppy's eyes widened and she took a step forward. She looked as if she wanted to tear Lucia apart.

Lucia rose to her feet and took a step forward. Inches away from Poppy, she looked condescendingly at Poppy’s face with heavy make-up and said, "Poppy, forget the slap I gave you last time?"

Poppy appeared timid instantly.

Lucia continued, "Do you know what you look like now? Like a clown! Even if I do have feelings for Jacob, what you should do is watch over your man. Jacob loves you wholeheartedly, doesn’t he? Why are you so panicked? Are you afraid that you will end up like the old me?"

Poppy gave in and looked away. She couldn't hold on, as Lucia hit the nail on the head.

As the wife of the president of JTP Group, she couldn't control her husband, so she came here to blame Lucia, but Lucia fought back, and it was not the first time that she got beaten.

"Get out of here if you hear what I have said. Don't come running around like a shrew when things don't go your way! I won’t indulge your bad temper!" Lucia looked at Poppy and felt disgusted, so she asked Poppy to get out of here.

"Lucia, you can't be arrogant for long." Reluctant to admit defeats, Poppy provoked Lucia.

"That's not up to you," Lucia said as she continued to stare coldly at Poppy, "but I can decide you gotta leave now!"

With that, Lucia suddenly reached out to clasp Poppy's wrists and restrict her movements. Poppy immediately screamed out loud, twisting like a snake to free herself, to no avail.

The door was suddenly opened and Nia ran in with a worried face. She heard screams and thought something had happened to Lucia, but she didn't expect to see Poppy pinned down by Lucia as if Poppy was a prisoner.

"You came just in time. Nia, keep the door open for me," Lucia said as she looked at Nia.

Nia then hurriedly grabbed the door handle to make way for Lucia, who pressed Poppy to the door and pushed her out. Poppy stumbled several steps and would have fallen if she hadn't hit the opposite wall.

Poppy gasped in shock, then turned her head to glare at Lucia and yelled, "Lucia!"

"Shout louder..." Lucia clapped her hands as if she had touched something dirty and continued, "It's best to attract everyone. I'd like to show others how JTP's president's wife is thrown out of Jibillion Inc by me!"

Poppy saw the determination in Lucia's eyes. She really meant what she said! Fear struck her. After getting steady on her feet, she cursed, "Wait and see!" And then she fled like a fugitive on her high heels.

Nia looked at Poppy's wretched back and murmured, "It's the first time I've seen someone run so fast in such high heels."

Lucia laughed and said, "A paper tiger just looks frightening."

"No, it's also good at escaping," Nia added with a mischievous wink.

After escaping from Jibillion Inc, Poppy turned back in a panic, afraid that Lucia would catch up with her.

She didn't expect she'd end up like this.

Poppy got angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and without an outlet to vent her anger, she took the bag in her hand and smashed the plants on the sidewalk, and people around her cast curious glances at her, and she cursed out of control.

When she had had enough, Poppy remembered Kane and called him to come over to comfort her. But Kane turned her down.

"I don't care. I want you over here right now!" Poppy said dominantly.

"Poppy, I really can't leave right now." Kane firmly refused.

"What could be more important to you than me?" Poppy asked in an injured tone.

Kane was silent for a moment, and then said, "Poppy, next time."

As soon as Kane finished talking, Poppy was so angry that she hung up the phone! Now even Kane dared to reject her! The anger within herself was accumulating. Poppy quickly walked to the underground parking lot and drove her car out towards Kane's law firm, to find out what mattered more to Kane than her!

When Poppy's car was not far from Kane's law firm, she saw a familiar car being driven out of the underground parking lot, and it was Kane's car! She sat in the car and stared at it for a moment. She waited for a while after it pulled out, and then drove after it.

After driving for a while, Poppy noticed that the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter. It turned out that Kane was driving towards the suburbs. This direction ... Poppy thought for a moment and realized Kane was driving in the direction of Fragranerde Hall where Arthur lived!

As expected, Poppy who followed Kane all the way found Kane pulled over near Fragranerde Hall. Then she saw him pick up Juliana who was waiting at the curb. Rage surged through Poppy instantly. Was Juliana more important than her?

Seeing Kane's car being turned around, Poppy reacted quickly and backed her car into the parking space in front of a store. She followed them after the car passed by. She didn’t expect that Kane would take Juliana to a nearby park. They got off the car and walked to the park when Kane put his arm around Juliana’s shoulder intimately.

Sitting in the car, Poppy realized that Kane and Juliana were really together now. Though she couldn’t figure out if Kane was fond of Juliana or if Kane was with Juliana for the baby’s sake, she was very unhappy now!

Kane only valued her, but now Juliana suddenly stole his focus. Poppy felt resentful.
