She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 321

"Ms. Wilson, don't you think you're too harsh on Lucia?" Before Esmae could sneer, Arthur spoke coldly. Although he was in the lower position, his aura was no less than Esmae's.

"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here?!" Esmae scolded in disgust, ignoring Arthur at all.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Lucia anxiously continued to hold Arthur's arm, not wanting him to have too many verbal disputes with Esmae. She raised her head and said to Esmae,

"Esmae, don't be angry yet. At least listen to what we have to say."

"Browns Manor doesn't welcome uninvited guests. Lucia, come in if you still recognize me as your aunt. If you don't, you can leave with him now !" Esmae's words did not leave Lucia any room to return, and shee said it very decisively.

"Lucia, let's go!" Although Arthur was usually polite and courteous, and he was the eldest son who grew up in a wealthy family, he had never been insulted like this in his life and was about to take Lucia to leave. But Lucia stayed where she was.

Arthur looked into Lucia's eyes. Her usually shining pupils were soaked with sadness at this moment. Arthur's heart softened suddenly. He read her contradictions, and stopped.

Arthur blamed himself for being too impulsive just now.

Reaching out and pulling Lucia slightly to the back, Arthur looked up at Esmae and said,

"Ms. Wilson, Lucia is my girlfriend and your goddaughter. Now we have an argument, and she is the most saddened person. Why are you too stubborn to listen to our words? Do you want your goddaughter be heartbroken?"

Lucia held back her tears and looked at Esmae, hoping she would give him a chance.

How could Esmae not feel sorry for Lucia? In fact, when she saw her eyes reddened just now, her heart softened. She was obviously a stubborn person, but she would still lose to the tears of her most beloved child.

"Okay, then I'll listen to what you guys have to say!" Constraining her hard feeling for Lucia, Esmae pretended to be indifferent, turned her head and walked in without even looking at Lucia. Spencer on the side was indignant. He thought Esmae couldn't even let Arthur in, but Esmae's heart softened because of Lucia's tears.

Hearing Esmae's words, Lucia reached out and wiped her tears. Her eyes were red and pitiful. Arthur was so distressed that he gently wiped away the tears that had slipped down. When Lucia calmed down a little, he looked up at Spencer, with his eyes flashing with coldness.

If he was an ordinary person, Spencer might have been trembling. However, Spencer looked Arthur directly in the eyes, without a trace of guilt, nor a trace of fear, even with a shameless complacence being blessed by Esmae. He look back at Arthur to show that Lucia will be his!

The eyes of the two men met in the air, and they refused to give in to each other.

Lucia gave Spencer a cold look, took Arthur's hand and walked up the steps, passing Spencer as if she was treating him with air. Then they walked over without looking at him.

"Lucia!" Spencer couldn't stand Lucia being so indifferent, especially in front of Arthur. It made him feel inferior, so he shouted to Lucia.

Lucia stopped and stared back at Spencer coldly. The contempt in her eyes needed no disguise.

"Lucia, you know that no matter how much you plead, there will only be one result, so why struggle." Spencer said bitterly.

"Because I love Arthur." Lucia replied without hesitation, then turned around and walked inside with Arthur.

As if Spencer was struck by lightning, he stood there with his fists clenched for a long time. The feeling of being humiliated made him hatred surging. He even imagined how he would abuse Lucia after he got her. Thinking of those scenes, Spencer felt a little bit comforted. After getting some comfort and calming down, he followed them into the living room.

In the luxurious living room of Browns Manor, Esmae was surrounded by coldness, sitting on the sofa in the center, watching Lucia and Arthur who had come to the coffee table.

"Esmae, where's Teddy ?" Lucia asked about her son first.

"At Helena's. You can rest assured he will be in the best possible care." Esmae said frankly, making no attempt to hide her intentional transfer of Theodore.

"No matter how well you take care of him, it's better for him to stay by his biological parents' side." Arthur said lightly, and immediately attracted Esmae's cold and sharp stare.

"Why? Are you proud of having a night of romance?" Esmae sneered and said sarcastically, "When you slept Lucia, did you want to go to her and use your identity as Mr. Davis of the Davis family to give some help and compensation her? You saw Teddy in five years, and you'll be a loving father for granted?"

"Esmae, Arthur didn't know..." Lucia anxiously defended Arthur.

"Whether he knew it or not won't change his bad behavior. Sleep around after being drunk? Sure enough, it's the style of a rich and powerful family." Esmae continued her rude sarcasm.

"Ms. Wilson, since you know I were drunk, you should know my action was not subject to voluntary influence. Indeed, you're right. I didn't think about what would happen to Lucia after that night, and I didn't look into her. So I will never leave her again. I will only love her wholeheartedly." Arthur didn't make excuses for himself, but took the opportunity to express his feelings for Lucia.

Esmae sneered and looked away in disdain, like Arthur was talking nonsense. And the living room fell into a dead silence.

Lucia knew that it was useless to pursue what happened before, so she talked about her relationship with Arthur instead,

"Esmae, Arthur and I really love each other. Teddy loves his father too. I beg you to put aside the entanglement with Edwin and his wife. Just see if Arthur and I are happy together, our family of three can be reunited and fulfill our goal, okay??"

Esmae was furious when she heard this. She stood up and pointed at Lucia and said,

"How dare you say that you really love each other!? Do you remember how many times you cried in front of me because of this man?! Do you remember how many nights you lost sleep because of this man? I said long ago I can put aside the grievance among Edwin and Sophie to fulfill your goal. It is the man by your side. He is not worth it!"
