She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 282

The four people sat on a bench in the hall of the police station. Lucia leaned on Arthur's shoulder. Juliana clutched Kane's hand. Their faces were solemn, and their moods were different, but equally grave.

Not long after, a female police officer walked over and said to them, "I'm sorry. The body is still waiting for further examination in the forensic laboratory. You can only take her back after we get the result."

"When will that be?" said Kane, standing up anxiously.

The policewoman glanced at Kane with a meaningful look in her eyes, but she still answered seriously, "It depends on the speed of the forensics lab. Currently, the police officers have gone to inform the family members. I can't reveal anything else."

Juliana always found the policewoman's gaze strange. She stood next to Kane and said, "We're all friends of the deceased. Can't we just look at her?"

"No, just until the funeral," the policewoman said, glancing at Kane again and adding, "If the family doesn't mind."

"What do you mean?" Juliana's heart ached at the sight of Kane's grief, and her willfulness flared when she heard the policewoman say so.

The policewoman didn't respond, but simply said, "if there's nothing else, I'd like to leave first," and walked away. Lucia comforted Juliana, "Julia, please don't be angry. Kane and Poppy's story was deliberately distorted by Jacob. It's understandable that there was some misunderstanding."

"I know, but as a public official, she can't say that!" Juliana was still angry. She looked at Kane after saying that, only to find that his expression was even worse.

Kane's face was pale and his eyes were filled with hatred. When Lucia and the others saw him, they looked in the direction of the main entrance. Only then did they understand why he had such an expression on his face.

At the door, Jacob who looked solemn, and a police officer were walking in when they made eye contact.

Jacob wasn't surprised to see Kane at the police station, but he was surprised to see the other three, especially Lucia. What was she doing here?

When he saw Arthur's eagle eyes staring at him, Jacob had always known how arrogant things could be. And it was at this moment that he was so distraught in front of the police that he lowered his head and turned a blind eye to the Lucia and other people.

The four people were standing in the middle of the hall, and Jacob, with his head down, followed the officer slowly past them and turned to the right. Just as they were about to enter the corridor and out of sight, Lucia's clear voice rang out across the hall,

"Jacob, don't you feel guilty?!"

Jacob's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks.

Lucia slowly turned around and looked at Jacob with his back to her. "Jacob, you come here. Do you dare look at Poppy's body?" She asked

The implication of Lucia's words was too strong. Jacob glanced sideways at the officer. Seeing that he was staring at him, he could only turn around and reply with a dim look in his eyes,

"I'm sorry Poppy was killed. I don't want to argue with you."

Looking up, Jacob saw Lucia's red eyes, and his doubt deepened. Was she sad about Poppy's death?

Lucia looked back coldly at Jacob and gently pushed Arthur's arm away. She walked straight towards Jacob, and Jacob's heart trembled as Lucia got closer and closer to him.
