She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 218

Sophie looked sideways at Juliana. Knowing that it was useless to explain, she replied bluntly, "The baby is too healthy, unlike a premature baby, but like a full-term child."

"Oh my goodness!" Kayla exclaimed after hearing Sophie's words, took a step back, and stared at her, incredulous.

"You suspect the baby is not your grandson just because he is too healthy. You would only feel at ease if something happened to the baby or Julia. Am I right?"

"That's not what I meant!" Sophie was also angry when Kayla, her confidant, had such a bad opinion of her.

"Kayla, how many years have we known each other? Am I that kind of person? You know the importance of bloodlines for families like us, don't you?"

"Alright, just go on valuing your bloodline," Kayla said as she exited the kitchen and stood firmly beside her daughter. "My daughter will never stand your humiliation and insult. The Knight family will take care of the baby on its own!"

When Sophie was in a dilemma, Arthur came downstairs. Seeing them frozen in the kitchen doorway, he came over and asked. "Mom, what are you arguing about?"

"Arthur, you came at the right time!" As soon as Kayla saw Arthur, she went over, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Your mother wants to test the baby's DNA. Did you know it?

Arthur knew the reason for their quarrel as soon as he heard this. He looked at Sophie and frowned slightly, not denying or admitting it. Kayla was so smart. She knew that Arthur must have known it as soon as their eyes met!

"So you have agreed!" snapped Kayla, who glared at Arthur and let go of him.

"Is Julia unworthy of being a part of the Davies family? Julia, the Davies despise you so much. You don't have to marry into the Davies family!"

With that, Kayla pulled Juliana to go upstairs to pack things.

Arthur quickly stopped her and advised, "Kayla, calm down. Let's sit down to have a good talk, okay?"

Kayla thought it was a stalling tactic. She didn't expect them to work together. Kayla was furious at this thought.

She pushed Arthur away, pulled Juliana upstairs, and shouted, "Julia, let's go home!"

That was what Juliana wanted. When she came back to the Knight residence, she would have the chance to show the baby to Kane, so she followed her mother upstairs with the baby in her arms. She didn't intend to ease the tension between Kayla and Sophie at all.

Sophie felt bad to see Kayla's angry look. The reproachful look in Arthur's eyes made her feel even worse.

"Mom, Julia is still in confinement. Why can't you wait?" Arthur raised his objection.

"Why can't I wait?" Sophie said in a hushed voice.

"Do you know what I saw last night? At 11:30 last night, I was worried about the baby so I got up to see. I did not expect Julia was not in the room. I went downstairs and found she was talking to someone on the phone in the backyard. I asked her who she was talking with. She was nervous and hid the phone behind her. Then she accidentally pressed the speakerphone button and a man's voice repeatedly calling Julia came from the other end! "

If not for this, Sophie, who was always calm, would not have rushed to Juliana and asked for a DNA test last night.

"Maybe it's her friend ..." Arthur still trusted Juliana.

"Did she have to sneak to the backyard garden to talk with her friend? Did she have to look so nervous when I caught her talking?" Sophie could see at once that Juliana was talking to someone very important to her.

Arthur was speechless. Juliana was too suspicious. It was hard to defend her.

"I've told you. Leave it to me. No matter what, a DNA test must be taken!" Sophie was very determined, not only because she wanted to make sure the baby was blood-related to the Davies, but also because she wanted to reunite with Lucia and Theodore.

"I see. I will calm down Julia and Kayla first. I'll go up and see what's going on." Arthur nodded to Sophie and walked upstairs. However, halfway upstairs, he saw Kayla carrying her luggage and Juliana holding the baby.

"Mom, are you really leaving?" Arthur saw the suitcase in Kayla's hand and rushed over to get it, but Kayla dodged.

"Arthur, I don't know what you are thinking. My daughter didn't do anything wrong to you and the Davies. Since you don't admit the baby's identity, we'll leave. We won't come back until you figure it out one day!"

Then Kayla walked downstairs. Concerned about Juliana who was holding the baby, he could only give way to her.

When Kayla reached the living room, she glared at Sophie and said, "Sophie, we've been friends for decades. Don't force me to break off my friendship with you!"

Sophie had a bad falling out with Esmae before. In her mind, friendship was extremely important, but she couldn't give in since it was related to the future of Arthur, Lucia, and Theodore.

She, however, said to Kayla softly, "Kayla, I never meant to get into a fight with you. I hope you can understand that I have my own reasons."

Kayla had thought that pulling her luggage and pretending to leave would change Sophie's attitude, but she didn't expect Sophie to insist on making things difficult for Juliana. Feeling disappointed, she snorted and pulled Juliana out.

Arthur then went after them, but was stopped by Sophie.

He looked at his mother in confusion, and Sophie said, "Let's give them time to think about it."

Seeing the resigned look in Sophie's eyes, he thought for a while, and finally decided not to go after them. But he called Kyle and asked him to make sure Kayla, Juliana, and the baby arrived at the airport safely.

At noon, Kyle called Arthur and said that Kayla and Juliana were on the plane. Then Arthur was relieved.

Sophie felt bad. The person who should have had the soup she cooked this morning was gone, so she poured the soup away, but she remained determined.

On the way back to Lepus, Kayla kept complaining to her daughter about Sophie and Arthur, and Juliana just listened quietly. If it wasn't for the fact that Kayla did not know the truth, she would have laughed out loud.
