She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 267

"It was you who made friends with me despite other people's advice. I know that you have helped me a lot in secret. When my parents didn't have money to pay for my living expenses, you secretly recharged my card for me. And the toiletries you gave me were obviously bought by you. In order to take into account my dignity, you told me that you didn't want to use it. I had very few clothes and shoes, and you often took me shopping with you, seemingly unintentionally helping me buy things..."

Poppy lost herself in the memories, talking about the things she remembered the most. Lucia looked at her, wondering what her intentions were when she mentioned them.

"But, you know, you're the reason I'm like this." Poppy, who had been missing the past, suddenly changed her expression. She frowned deeply and stared at Lucia, as if she had done something that was not forgivable.

"I was wrong to treat you well?" Lucia asked helplessly.

"That's right. It's just because you're too good to me!" Poppy remembered the dark side of her heart, and her face was distorted,

"It was you who made me realize how unfair this world is for the first time. With you, I found out that a small facial cleanser is worth thousands, and a pair of seemingly ordinary shoes is actually worth thousands of dollars. And a simple dress sells for nearly ten thousands, not to mention what you eat. It's like a sky-high price to me!"

Lucia frowned slightly. Did Poppy's hatred for her begin with low self-esteem?

"It is clear that we are of the same age. My personality is more lively and cheerful than yours, and my popularity is better than yours. Why can you enjoy the most luxurious life when you are born, while my parents are only worried about the tuition fee of several thousand dollars!" Poppy said angrily.

Poppy's unwillingness was reflected in her eyes, and Lucia sighed inwardly. She really hadn't thought of this before.

"I know you're good to me," Poppy's voice sharpened,

"You even got hurt for me. But the better you treat me, the more I feel that it is a kind of sympathy, a kind of pity, just like a noble princess accidentally met a poor girl in a slum. You generously stretched out your hand, but didn't realize my inferiority complex. Then I really couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stand people saying that I was your sidekick. I couldn't stand people saying that I made friends with you just for the benefit. I really couldn't stand it anymore."

After Poppy finished speaking, she curled her knees sadly, as if remembering the accusations and slanders against her at the time.

"I never knew... there were all those rumors..." Lucia frowned and sighed.

"Of course you don't know. You are a high-ranking princess. Those gossips will only attack me. How can you know it." Poppy said with a wry smile.

"So, you went to Jacob?" Lucia lowered her head, having mixed feelings.

"That's right. I didn't know Jacob went to the same college with me, because he graduated a year earlier than me, until I met him at a local gathering. I introduced him to you by accident at the time, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with him. To tell you the truth, we had sex before taking him to see you that day."

Poppy laughed frantically, as if she could beat Lucia by mentioning it.

Lucia frowned when she heard the words, as if there were two Poppys sitting in front of her. One was a kind girl who once cared about the relations between them, and the other was a vicious woman who was angry with herself because of her inferiority. And they appeared at the same time, leaving Lucia swayed between soft-hearted and hatred.

"Everything is God's will. After Jacob knew about your family background, we hit it off. On the surface, he was tender and sweet to you. I was beside you to encourage you to abandon everything and be with him. I didn't expect you to be so innocent and never found it out. We had been secretly communicating with each other, but you actually disobeyed your father and married him. What's even more ridiculous is that your father made a will for you. And you actually added yourself to it. You don't know how happy Jacob and I was at the time."

Poppy wiped the tears from her laughter as she spoke, not knowing whether the tears were sweet or bitter.

Lucia looked at Poppy who was laughing like this. If it was before, she would have been very angry when Poppy mentioned this in front of her, but now, she felt that Poppy was extremely pathetic.

Finally, after laughing, Poppy slumped on the sofa. Her hair was messy. Lucia couldn't see her face but only heard her voice,

"After you left, Webbex Group became JTP. Jacob became a rich people, and I am rich too. From then on, I wore the most expensive brands, the most luxurious jewelry, and the most expensive jewelry. And I had the luxury car. I finally lived the life I dreamed of.”

"Congratulations." Lucia said coldly.

Lucia's words seemed to stimulate Poppy. She sat up suddenly, looked at Lucia and said quietly, "You don't have to congratulate me. This life is not very happy."

Lucia knew that Poppy had become the conscientious person again, so she listened patiently.

"When I became Mrs. Taylor and became the vice president of JTP, I seemed to have everything. There were groups of girlfriends around me, but they only remembered me when I went out to play and check out. My subordinates treated me with respect, but in the blink of an eye, they betrayed me because of interests. And Jacob, I almost forgot it was not just a romantic affair with him at first. The relationship began with deceiving you together. This kind of relationship will not be enduring."

Poppy's words were full of self-deprecation and insights about her life in the past few years. Once the desire was taken away, it was easy to see who was good to her and who was not good to her. After all these years, except for Kane, who can be regarded as her friend, Poppy was always lonely.

So when she was going to be killed, the scenes and characters that Poppy saw, except for her parents and Kane, was Lucia.

Before there was no conspiracy, she was really happy with Lucia. In the end, she was also a person who had no intention or purpose for her than her parents and Kane.

Was Lucia wrong?

She was right. She just accidentally met her who was unwilling to be mediocre and poor.

Thinking of this, Poppy burst into tears. Her parents had passed away. Kane was used by her to the point of being upset, and the remaining Lucia had already become her enemy.

Even if she really got the half of the property and escaped to the ends of the earth, can she still have sincere feelings, and can she still meet people who treated her with sincerity like Kane and Lucia?
