She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 172

Full of resentment, Poppy did not leave. She sat in the car and waited until Kane escorted Juliana back from a walk. Joking and laughing, the two got in the car and left. Then Poppy drove the car to the road from Fragranerde Hall back to the city, waiting for Kane.

After a long time, Kane's car returned. Poppy grabbed the opportunity to step on the gas, leaping out from the roadside, and blocked Kane's way. Luckily, the speed of Kane's car was not too fast, otherwise, the two cars would have collided.

Kane got out of the car in shock, and just as he was about to hold the other party responsible, he recognized Poppy's car and saw her sitting in the driver's seat with a stern face and staring fixedly at him.

Kane was so guilty that he looked at Poppy and couldn't say anything.

Poppy saw Kane change color, snorted and got out of the car. Then she said, "Is Juliana the reason you can't leave?"

"She's pregnant and moody and needs to be taken care of," Kane said after some thought.

"She's moody? How about me? I'm in a bad mood. You let me sulk alone just to take care of her?" Poppy said discontentedly.

"Don't you have Jacob by your side? Julia doesn't have anyone else she can trust ..." Kane said hesitantly.

He used Jacob to put her off! Poppy thought angrily.

She suddenly realized something and stared straight at Kane for a long time before asking, "Kane, are you in love with Juliana?"

Kane looked back at Poppy, braced himself up, and nodded silently.

"Good for you, Kane!" After Kane admitted it, Poppy walked up to him and said sarcastically, "I told you to fake an interest in her and seduce her, and you really fall for her?"

"Humans are sentimental creatures. She likes me, and I am not hard-hearted, so of course, I'll be touched." Kane not only defended himself, but implied something.

"Kane, are you implying I am hard-hearted?" Poppy questioned in a fierce tone, looking like a joke.

"Poppy, I'm really in love with Julia, and she has my baby. I hope you can give us your blessings," Kane said sincerely, ignoring Poppy's questioning, but was met with roars of laughter.

At Kane's words, Poppy bent over with laughter. The loud and harsh laughter sounded through the empty road.

"Did I hear right? Give blessings to you?" Finally having laughed enough, Poppy stood up straight and immediately changed color, glaring at Kane fiercely and said, "Kane, have you forgotten what you are? Have you forgotten what you did to Juliana and why she got pregnant? I’ll just give my blessings to her and Arthur!"

"Poppy, you said you'd help me make things clear to Juliana and get my baby back after things are over!" Kane still remembered Poppy's promise, but now he suddenly realized it seemed to be just a perfunctory statement of hers.

"I did promise you, but when I explain to her by then, it’s not up to me to decide whether Juliana forgives you or not." Still having a clear mind, Poppy did not turn Kane down but shifted the focus of their conversation to Juliana.

Kane turned silent at once. If Julia knew ...

He didn't dare to think about it.

"Kane, don't be whimsical," Poppy continued when she saw that Kane was silent, knowing that he had taken her words in.

"You and Juliana will never be together. Let’s put aside the things you have done. Given the difference in status between you two, one, the noble lady of the Knight family, and the other, a lawyer from a rural family. Do you think the Knights will accept you?"

"Why are you saying this to me?" With his head down, Kane asked in a cold voice.

"What?" Poppy couldn't hear Kane's words.

"Why are you saying this to me, Poppy? I did everything for the benefits of you. Now I just wanna be with my child and the woman I love, and why can't you make it work for me?"

Why did she have to tell him such cruel truths?

Kane stared angrily at Poppy and spoke.

Poppy saw the anger in Kane's eyes and had mixed feelings. Why couldn't she make it work? Why?

"I just can’t!" Poppy toughened herself up and said, "You and she are not on the same life path. Juliana is only a pawn in our hands. We decided to use her at the beginning. And I will not allow you to fall in love with her out of sympathy. If our plan is spoiled, you will be the one to blame!"

Poppy sounded selfish, and Kane just laughed and asked her, "I'm just a pawn too, right?"

Poppy was speechless.

"Poppy, All people are selfish, but one should have principles. All I have done for you have violated my principles. If I could start over, I would not help you again. Now the only thing I can do for you is not to nail your lies. Don't come to me in the future."

When he was in love with her, he treated her like a queen, and after he saw through her, she meant nothing to him.

After saying that, Kane got into the car. As soon as he started the engine, Poppy ran over, grabbed his window, and asked, "Kane, what do you mean by that?"

Kane looked askance at Poppy and said, "Poppy, I’ve had enough of loving you so long."

Kane drove the car away and Poppy was forced to run a few steps, and in the end, she could only watch Kane pass her car and leave.

What did he mean by that?

Looking blankly at the direction Kane left, Poppy thought and felt empty.

After Poppy came to her office to make a scene, Lucia called Jacob and told him to control his wife.

Knowing that Poppy had gone to Jibillion Inc to look for Lucia, he scolded her for taking action on impulse. When he was about to call and criticize Poppy, he received a call from Spencer.

"Jacob, I'm going back home tomorrow."

"What? You're going back to your country?" Jacob stood up from his chair. He had long been worried about what he had to do without Spencer as his backer, but he didn't expect the worry would turn to the truth so soon!

"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't worry. I've arranged for someone working in Davonnis Corp to help you secretly. After I leave, you can go to her if you need any help," Spencer seemed to have read Jacob's mind and said.

"Who is she?" Jacob, who was paranoid, was eager to determine the identity of that person.
