She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 225

Arthur and Lucia, who were once a couple, once again made the news in the gossip magazines. But this time, they were described as having an affair.

For irrelevant people, it was just gossip to talk about. But some people would make a big deal out of it.

Robert returned home in the afternoon and upon entering the house, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. His daughter Juliana and his wife Kayla were looking gloomy in the living room, and his grandson was not there.

"What's going on with you? Where's the baby?"

"Read it yourself," Kayla said, her eyes glancing over to a magazine on the table.

Robert was suspicious, went over, and glanced at it. Obviously, it was a gossip magazine. He had bad eyesight, so he took out his glasses and asked, "What the hell is this?"

"Just read it yourself," Kayla said grimly.

Robert frowned as soon as he put on his glasses. The front page news came into view.

"Arthur Rekindle His Passion for Old Love. His Wife and Son Absent from His Villa!" Shocked, Robert glanced at his wife and daughter, and hurriedly looked through the magazine, which stated clearly the relationship between Arthur, Lucia, and Juliana, and also made speculations. Robert finished reading it with mixed feelings.

"Arthur ... isn't that kind of person ..." Robert said, hesitant.

"Not that kind of person?" Kayla stood up and said angrily, "There are photos and evidence. I just asked Julia. They did go out before. I don't want to believe Arthur is that kind of person, but this is the fact. Now I know why they want to test the baby's DNA. They want to drive us away so that he can have an affair with Lucia!"

Robert trusted Arthur, but he could not defend Arthur because facts spoke louder than words.

"Robert, are you still on their side now?" Kayla complained, "The Davies are just making a fool of us!"

"Actually ..." Juliana, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Arthur and that woman have a child."

"What?" Kayla and Robert exclaimed at the same time.

"Arthur and Lucia had a one-night stand six years ago. Lucia got pregnant, but she left the country for some reason. Later she returned home and went to Arthur with their son. Arthur started a love relationship with her because of their son. But Lucia is a woman of poor character. Later, Arthur broke up with her and began a love relationship with me ... but I didn't expect that they were still in contact."

Juliana said in an injured voice.

"I got it ..." Kayla murmured, "I am wondering why Sophie makes things difficult for Julia thought she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Davies family. It turns out that Arthur already has a son!"

"Kayla, do not surmise Sophie's intention wildly." Though distressed for Juliana, Robert didn't think it was the right time to jump to a conclusion and spoke softly, but his words irritated Kayla.

"You're still speaking for her now? Kayla's eyes were wide with anger. Her husband should have chosen to stick up for his family.

"That is the fact, Robert. The Davies think little of us, and Sophie doesn't take Julia seriously. All they think about is that bitch and her son! Julia was tricked!"

Robert could only say, "Don't be angry yet. I'll call Sophie to find out what's going on."

Having said that, Robert stepped aside to call Sophie, while Kayla sat down and wrapped her arms around Juliana, distressed for her poor daughter.

Soon Sophie answered the phone and Robert wanted to walk away to talk, but Kayla said to him, "Put her on speaker". Robert could only put Sophie on speaker.

"Sophie, are you still in the country?"

Kayla glared at Robert for his greeting. Robert turned slightly to the side, to not see the expression on her face.

"Yes, Robert, what can I do for you? Did Kayla figure it out?"

"No," Robert said with difficulty, "Sophie, I want to ask you. Who is Lucia?"

Sophie was silent, and Kayla believed Sophie was too guilty to say anything. Ten seconds later, Sophie answered, "Lucia is Arthur's former girlfriend, and they broke up."

"I heard that she and Arthur have a son. Is that true?"

Sophie fell silent again, and Kayla impatiently got up and tried to walk over, but was stopped by Robert.

"Yes, they do have a son named Theodore," Sophie finally gave a positive answer.

"Sophie, you should have told us this earlier," Robert said resignedly.

"Robert, Arthur, and Lucia met six years ago and the baby was conceived at that time. I wanted to communicate with you, but I never had time, so ..." Sophie's voice was apologetic, but she was just making up an excuse in Kayla's opinion.

"Sophie! Stop being a hypocrite!" Kayla couldn't help herself, pushed Robert away, and shouted.

"You and Arthur should have explained it at the beginning! Julia is a noble lady and can choose to marry whomever she wants! Now she is engaged to Arthur and has a child, but she is disliked by the Davies family and her baby has to take a DNA test! Why did Arthur cheat on Julia?"

Kayla was getting angrier.

"Kayla, calm down. I didn't mean to go against Julia," Sophie explained. "Also, Arthur and Lucia have broken up, so Arthur hasn't cheated on Julia."

"Broken up?" Kayla sneered and said, "You knew that Arthur and Lucia were going abroad together, didn't you?"

Sophie was shocked. How did word get to Lepus? She didn't know that the news had spread nationwide as she had never read gossip magazines.

"You cannot utter any word to defend him now, right?" When she was sure she was right, Kayla continued with disappointment and anger, "Sophie, why are you doing this to upset our decades of friendship? You see Julia grow up. Is she no better than that bitch? Do you have to make things that difficult for her?"

"Kayla, listen to me. Arthur and Lucia are going abroad to visit their child. Their child is just six years old and needs his parents' care, so ..."
