She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 232

After walking out of the company, Poppy staggered into the street and bumped into a lot of passers-by, who then got angry and were about to lose their temper. But when they saw Poppy's dispirited look, they distanced themselves from Poppy, so Poppy just walked forward aimlessly.

"How could this happen?" She thought she could threaten Jacob with his past wrongdoings, but he didn't care at all. For Poppy, even the last ray of hope was gone.

Sitting on the stone fence of the roadside parterre, Poppy looked haggard with sadness in her eyes and her body bent as if she had instantly aged several dozen years.

Did she have to accept the conditions proposed by Jacob and let him live a happy life with Lucia?

Poppy clenched her fists and rejected the result.

'No way! I can't let that slutty couple live better than me!'

Dominated by greed and lust, Poppy was resentful and unwilling to admit defeat.

Jacob was right. The only one who could protect her was Kane.

She seemed to realize something, took her phone out, and called Kane. She did not ask Kane out but asked him to go to a place where she could talk to him freely over the phone.

"I'm home now. Just go ahead," Kane answered.

"Kane, help me," Poppy said flatly.

"You haven't figured it out yet?" Kane said with a sigh.

"I can't figure it out. Why should I? I'll never let Jacob enjoy the fruits of my labor, and I'll never let him and Lucia live a happy life. I swear that I'll let him suffer!" Poppy said fiercely.

"Poppy, I told you there was no way. Why..." Kane heaved another sigh, but he was interrupted by Poppy before he could finish.

"Kane, don't force me. The only one who can help me now is you. If you don't help me, I have a way to make you suffer!" Poppy said threatening words without hesitation. For old time's sake, she chose to say those words to Kane over the phone.

"Poppy, are you threatening me?" Kane's voice sounded calm.

"You forced me to do this," Poppy said domineeringly, "Kane, a person who has a weakness is vulnerable. Juliana is now in love with you and has a son with you, but she doesn't know that the person who raped her is you and her son is also yours. What would happen if she knew?"

"Poppy!" Kane's angry voice came from the other end.

Poppy's heart trembled. When she quarreled with Jacob, Jacob often shouted out her name, but she had never felt so heartbroken. In her mind, Kane's shout indicated that their relationship ended from now on. Though reluctant, Poppy, driven by desire, forced herself to toughen up.

"Kane, I'm at the end of my rope, so don't blame me. Just help me and I promise I won't reveal the truth to Juliana."

"Poppy, do you know the consequences of saying those things to me?" Kane asked in a low voice.

Poppy froze at her words. The ruthlessness on her face was replaced by the vulnerability that Kane could not see.
