She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 231

Jacob glanced at Poppy disdainfully as if implying that Poppy asked while knowing the answer.

Poppy was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She thought to herself, 'Don't blame me for not showing mercy!'

"I agree to divorce you, but I want to take half of the JTP assets!" Poppy said while giving Jacob the evil eye.

Jacob sneered at her words and said with disdain, "Stop daydreaming, okay? That's not the conditions I offer. Poppy, have you forgotten what situation you are in?"

"No, I'm just curious if you know what situation you are in," Poppy said coldly.

"I'm fine now." Showing a horrible smile, Jacob opened his arms to show what he had with a smug look as if the whole city behind him belonged to him.

"Then do you remember how you got to this position?" Poppy narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice.

"Of course, it's ..." Jacob wanted to say he achieved everything on his own, but he paused when he realized who he was talking to was Poppy.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Jacob seemed to realize something, Poppy withdrew her hands, folded her arms over her chest, and said, "What do I mean? Yep, I did transfer the company's assets, but I did it for my future. Do not forget we are in the same boat. Others may not know what you did before, but I absolutely know everything!"

Hearing Poppy's threatening tone, Jacob realized he had underestimated her endurance.

"You can take me to court," Poppy said coldly.

"Anyway, I will be sentenced. When I am in court, I will talk about what you have done, like how you gained Webbex Group, bribed officials, and did illegal business. Jacob, before you threaten me. Think about how many nasty things you have done!"

"Do you have proof?" Jacob suppressed his excitement and asked calmly.

"I don't, but as long as I'm willing to be against you as a tainted witness, I believe the court will not ignore it. Not to mention that the evidence will be found out, do you think you can live a rather good life when you are caught up in such a scandal?"

Poppy didn't believe Jacob was unafraid.

"What do you want?" Jacob asked Poppy, with his hands on his chin.

Poppy felt that she had finally gotten the upper hand. With an overjoyed and smug look on her face, she stared coldly at Jacob and said, "I know we can never get back together, so I want a divorce, the destruction of all evidence of my transfer of assets, and an equal share of the JTP assets. I don't want company shares, but an equivalent amount of money."

"If I agree and also destroy the evidence, then how do you guarantee that you won't turn state's evidence against me?" Jacob asked Poppy with the same cold look in his eyes.

"When I get the money, I'll leave here immediately, go abroad, and never mention these past events to anyone else. When I am gone, whatever you do to Lucia is none of my business," Poppy said, but Jacob didn't buy a word of it.

"It sounds good," Jacob suddenly laughed out and said, "but it's not convincing. If I agree to meet your request, it's not hard for you to break your word. Poppy, you know me well enough and you should know that I won't believe it."

Jacob made Poppy become the one to make a choice again.

Poppy frowned. They were facing a dead end. Since they didn't trust each other, it was hard for them to reach a consensus.

"So what do you want me to do?" Poppy asked.

"As usual, take a billion and leave, or see you in court," Jacob said indifferently.

Poppy didn't expect Jacob would be so determined, so she raised her eyebrows in surprise and said incredulously, "Aren't you afraid I'll report you in court?"

"You can try ..." Jacob narrowed his eyes.

"I can defend myself. If you dare to turn state's witness against me, I will testify against you. You falsely accuse me because you are found committing a crime. You have no evidence of my criminal wrongdoing, don't you? I did bribe officials and did illegal business, but because of this, many people will try to prove my innocence. Believe it or not, I can get away with it. On the contrary, Poppy, apart from Kane, who is there to protect you?"

Poppy's face was completely white after she heard Jacob's words. She bit her lip tightly. She thought Jacob would be afraid of her, but he appeared so calm now.

"Poppy," Seeing Poppy's knitted brows, he smiled and said, "You have three days left. Give me an answer as soon as possible. If you mess with me again, you can't even get one billion!"

Although Jacob smiled, the cold light in his eyes was like a blade. If it could hurt people, Poppy would have been killed.

"Jacob, you are so cruel!" Poppy said snappishly through gritted teeth.

"Am I?" Jacob laughed again and continued, "Poppy, you are just eating your own bitter fruit. In the past, I spoiled you so much. You did not appreciate it, but you bossed me around, monitored me, and arranged for your henchmen to work in the company. To level with you, those of your henchmen have been bought off by me."

Poppy was dumbfounded, and could only glare at Jacob, hating to kill him with her eyes.

"You know why I fell in love with Lucia again?" Trying to irritate Poppy more, he mentioned Lucia, and even admitted his love for her.

"You're the one who pushed me to her side. I told you not to have contact with her, but you just lost your temper and screwed up with her. Every time you did it, I was the one that smoothed it out. You were creating chances for me to spend time with Lucia, weren't you? Besides, now Lucia is a thousand times better than you!"

His mention of Lucia was just like a knife that stabbed into Poppy's heart and was turned several times.

Breathing hard from the pain, Poppy gasped for air. She raised her hand, pointed at Jacob, and said in a trembling voice, "As expected, you slutty couple are together again!"

"Watch your mouth!" Jacob stopped smiling with a cruel look in his eyes. "Slutty couple? She and I used to be a legally recognized couple. You're just the third wheel. That slutty woman can only be you!"
