She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 261

Rarely seeing a trace of remorse on Poppy's face, Kane continued under pressure,

"Poppy, listen to my advice. Tell everyone what happened back then. Even if you go to prison, even if you have nothing, at least you don't have to feel alarmed in the future, don't worry about Lucia's revenge every moment, and worry that everything you got will be lost. At that time, you will be really relieved. When you come out, will you start cleanly?"

Just as Poppy was about to answer something, the killers were annoyed when they saw that they kept talking. One of them took out a pistol and put it directly on Poppy's forehead, shouting, "Shut up!"

Poppy's hair stood on end, and the cold muzzle on her temple made her shut up. Her mind was buzzing, but at this time, she was not thinking about fear, but Kane's words.

If she had taken Lucia seriously at the beginning, maybe she would have helped her grow up cleanly. And she and Jacob would have a stable future. If they were not so greedy for glory and wealth, maybe she and Jacob would not be detached from each other because of their interests. And they would not trust each other. Maybe, she will have sincere love.

Death had never been so close to her. Poppy's memories of the past came to her mind, and for the first time in her life she had remorse.

Thinking that she was going to die, Poppy slowly turned to Kane, a haggard smile appeared on her pale face, and she said softly, "Kane... Maybe, you're right. If I can do it all over again..."

When the killer saw that Poppy was still talking, he immediately became furious. They had to kill her anyway, so he put his thumb on the trigger. When he was about to pull it, Poppy slowly closed her eyes as if she had felt something. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and at this moment, a loud shout came from the door,

"What are you doing?!"

Everyone in the house was shocked, and turned to look at the door together. They saw seven or eight young men gathered in front of the door, still holding beers, who looked like Kane's neighbors.

The three killers panicked immediately. The killer who was holding the gun against Poppy subconsciously raised his hand and pointed the gun at the group of men. But before he could say anything, one of the men picked up the beer bottle and threw it over. After a gunshot, the people outside the back door walked up because of the number of people. There was strength in numbers. After a while the three killers were really subdued by them.

"Are you all right?" After subduing the killers, the man who threw the beer bottle came over to untie Kane and Poppy, and asked with concern.

Just after breaking free, Poppy jumped into Kane's arms in fear and burst into tears. She buried her head in his chest, not seeing the hint in Kane's eyes to the man.

"Thank you. If it wasn't for your sudden appearance, we'd be dead." Kane hugged Poppy and thanked the men.

"It's alright. We just came out of the house, and when we saw the door was open, we pushed it open to check the situation. I didn't expect that they still had guns. Fortunately, nothing happened. I've already called the police. Let's wait for the police to come." The man said.

Kane nodded to the man, then lowered his head to Poppy and said, "Poppy, don't be afraid. It's alright."

Poppy sobbed and raised her head, as if reborn and collapsed.

"You go to the room to rest." Kane saw Poppy like this, so he helped her to go to the room to rest. Ans she looked embarrassed right now.
