She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 256

The atmosphere suddenly became lively because of Kayla's words. Kane begged Juliana to let him see his son. Juliana would not refuse, and took him upstairs. Kayla and Robert followed them up and there were only Arthur, Lucia and Sophie in the living room.

The smile on Lucia's face slowly disappeared as soon as they left. She didn't want to show her emotions, but when she thought of Esmae getting her engaged with Spencer, she didn't know how to face Arthur.

"Lucia, everything has been revealed, and the problem between you and Arthur should also be solved. If there is any secret, I think you can tell us, and we can solve it together." After the Knight family and Kane left, Sophie turned to Lucia and said so.

Lucia was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head slowly and said, "Sophie, no."

Sophie and Arthur looked at each other and sighed softly. Lucia must have something on her mind but didn't say it, which showed the seriousness of the matter. Sophie knew that she couldn't be forced, so said to Arthur,

"Arthur, take Lucia home first. I'm tired after talking for so long today. We'll talk about it the other day."

Sophie wanted Arthur and Lucia to be alone, so maybe Lucia wanted to say it.

Arthur didn't feel happy when he saw Lucia's mood was down. He held her hand to say goodbye to his mother and sent her home, but when he got to Lucia's house, Arthur didn't want to leave.

For a long time, he had not entered the house with a light heart. Sitting on the sofa, Arthur patted the seat next to him, and stared at Lucia with a smug look as if he was a large dog who was eager to be caressed.

Lucia found it both funny and annoying. She walked over to him and sat down, feeling a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said,

"Julia and Kane will definitely be together in the future."

"Yes," Arthur responded, raised his hand and took Lucia to his chest, saying, "Julia always loves Kane. Even if she doesn't forgive him today, she'll be relieved sooner or later."

"You're calm instead." Lucia said with a smile.

"Not as calm as you," Arthur said and looked down into Lucia's eyes, being addicted, "Thank you, Lucia, for being so forgiving."

Arthur knew very well in his heart that if Lucia didn't forgive Juliana, it would be reasonable, and he would definitely stand by her side. But Lucia forgave her so he was finally reassured.

"What can I do if I don't forgive her? She didn't mean to be my enemy. Besides, she's a mother. I don't want to embarrass her more." Lucia said softly.

"That's why I have to thank you." Holding Lucia tightly, Arthur said emotionally.

The intimacy between the two was so natural. Lucia leaned against Arthur's arms. Her heart should have been warm, but was interfered by Spencer.

Gritting her teeth secretly, Lucia forced herself not to feel Arthur's love recklessly. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out.

No one knew if Lucia's reaction was too indifferent, or if Arthur felt something, he suddenly let go of Lucia, looked into her eyes and asked,

"Now, can you tell me why you're upset?"

Lucia sighed. Knowing that she couldn't escape, she looked up at Arthur and said, "Arthur, you know Esmae will definitely talk to me after I take Teddy back."

Arthur nodded.

"She knew we took Teddy on vacation and was very angry, so she thought of a way to completely cut off the relationship between you and me." Lucia didn't dare to say it plainly, and she couldn't say it.

"Is that why you're feeling down when you come back?" asked Arthur.

"Yeah." Lucia nodded and couldn't stand the atmosphere.

"What way?" Arthur was actually a little disdainful in his heart. He didn't believe there was a way in the world to cut him off from Lucia.

Lucia couldn't understand Arthur's mind but sensed the confidence in his eyes. However, this time was really different.

After hesitating for a moment, Arthur touched Lucia's lips impatiently and asked her to answer his question. Then she slowly expressed her worry,

"She... let me marry Spencer."

Arthur was stunned. Now he was talking with Lucia but the sudden mention of Spencer's name interrupted thought. It took him a long time to react and he asked Lucia in a bad tone,

"What did you say?!"

Lucia kept watching Arthur's reaction. Seeing that he, who was a non-linear thinker, had a stunned expression, she knew that he had never thought about Spencer at all, bit her lowered lip and could only repeat,

"She got me engaged with Spencer. She said it's the only way to keep you and me apart. Isn't it useful?"

After speaking, Lucia showed a wry smile, and all the helplessness was hidden in her smile and between her slightly frowning brows.

"What a sinister move!" After digesting Lucia's words, Arthur gritted his teeth and said he never thought Esmae would make such a bad move and let Lucia marry his cousin. Then Lucia would become his sister-in-law. Esmae was indeed ruthless!

Lucia's wry smile didn't fade away.

"You agreed?!" After thinking clearly, Arthur grabbed Lucia's arms and stared at her seriously.

Lucia stared into Arthur's eyes, being unable to answer for a long time. How would she answer?

Although she didn't answer, the response had already given the answer itself. Arthur suddenly became furious and asked sharply,

"Why promise her!"

"What else can I do? For you, I have disobeyed her several times. She has heard about the things happened domestically. She also knew the news of your engagement and the child. Do you think I have the courage to reject her?" She felt painful in the shoulders, but she can't care, because her heart hurt more.

"Why is Spencer!" Arthur almost forced himself to speak his cousin's name, and continued, "Now that things have changed. Don't we already know the truths? Julia doesn't love me and the child is not mine. Let's go find Esmae and make it clear!"

"It's useless!" Lucia was also emotional. She roared and said the cruel facts,

"She objected to us being together because of Sophie and Edwin. If it wasn't for the previous incident, maybe I could persuade her, but after being with you, the turmoil continued. And in her eyes, all I saw was what you did to me. Even if it is explained now, it is useless! She will not let us be together!"
