She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 217

Juliana pursed her lips and got Sophie's implication. She wisely chose to let Sophie continue.

Seeing Juliana's expression become calm, Sophie somewhat admired Juliana. As a mother, she was very tough.

However, Sophie still had to tell her straightforwardly, "Julia, your father is a famous real estate tycoon in Athegate. You are from a wealthy family, you should know the importance of the family bloodline."

"Sophie, are you suspecting me?" Juliana asked in a hushed voice. She was shadowed, with a glint in her eyes.

"Teddy took a DNA test with Arthur. As the matriarch of my family, I gotta make sure that my grandchildren are indeed blood-related to the Davies family. Julia, can you understand that?" Instead of answering, Sophie asked a question, but Juliana was unshaken.

"Sophie, are you suspecting me?" Juliana repeated her question.

"It's just a doubt." Sophie frowned slightly and sighed. "The baby is not like a premature baby ..."

Before Sophie could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Juliana. "It's Arthur's idea, isn't it?"

Juliana knew that Arthur must have known Sophie's plan. Did he want to beg Lucia's forgiveness by proving that the baby is not his?

Juliana sneered.

'Never think that you can make it!'

"I mentioned it to Arthur, but he didn't agree," said Sophie, defensive of her son. "But I insist on my idea."

Juliana stared at Sophie. She didn't express her opinion but said faintly, "Sophie, I grew up in your home. We are very close, just like mother and daughter. But you just suspect me."

Sophie fell silent. Juliana's words did push her buttons.

"You do it for the sake of the Davies family. But I have my own dignity as the lady of the Knight family. If you can't feel at ease, I will take the baby back to my own home." Juliana implied that she would never agree!

"Julia ..." She had expected that Juliana would refuse.

With a pang of slight guilt, she persisted, "I'm trying to make sure the baby is Arthur's. If he is, why are you resisting it?"

"Are you trying to get me to talk, Sophie?" Juliana burst out laughing, "Does my refusal mean the baby isn't Arthur's?"

Sophie took a step closer to Juliana and said softly, "Julia, I hope you can understand me."

"Then why can't you understand me?" Juliana took a step forward, staring sharply at Sophie as she asked in a harsh tone.

"I am the daughter of the Knight family, and Arthur and I grew up together, but now my child's identity is suspected. What makes you think I won't misunderstand you in this situation?"

"Julia ..." Sophie was determined. "I hurt you and the baby by doing this, but I have to. As long as you agree, I won't make things difficult for you no matter what happens in the future."

"Sophie, should I be grateful for it?" Juliana asked Sophie and sneered.
