She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 333

Arthur got dressed and came down to see Lucia, Juliana and Kane talking and laughing, so he came over and asked what they were talking about. Lucia gave up and replied,

"Kane is going to join the company as head of legal affairs to make amends for the damage done to me in the past."

Juliana and Kane couldn't help laughing but Lucia was quite "vengeful".

"Really?" Arthur thought it was a good idea. He was worried that Lucia didn't have many people he could trust, so he asked again,

"When are you going to go to work? Or take care of Julia and the baby for a while?"

"I can work in a few days," Kane replied, with his eyes suddenly darkening. He turned to Lucia and said, "After Poppy's funeral."

Since Jacob was sentenced, Kane had been applying for the placement of Poppy's body. He had just been notified that the police station had agreed to his application two days ago, and now it was only a matter of discussing the funeral.

Speaking of Poppy, the brilliance in Lucia's eyes disappeared instantly. She lowered her eyes slightly, and pursed her lips.

Seeing this, Arthur immediately took Lucia's hand and said, "Then let Poppy be laid to rest as soon as possible."

"Jacob hasn't been brought to justice. Poppy won't rest content." Lucia said calmly.

"Don't worry. I've asked my friends to pay attention to Jacob's movements, but there's no news yet. I don't know where Spencer has placed him." Arthur comforted Lucia.

"Wherever he may flee, I believe that one day he will be caught. God will not let such a heinous person off!" This was the firm and unshakable belief in Lucia's heart. There was cause and effect, and she didn't believe Jacob can get away with it.

"Well, it definitely will." Infected by Lucia's emotion, Kane also affirmed.

Next, Lucia carefully discussed how Poppy's funeral should be carried out. When it came to the memorial service, Kane smiled bitterly and said,

"The friends who used to surround Poppy are not real friends at all. They are all trying to get something from Poppy. Even if there is a memorial service, they will not attend. I am afraid it is only us."

"Then cancel it. We'll just say goodbye to her last time." Poppy understood the importance of sincerity in the last time. Lucia believed that she would not want to see those hypocritical faces before being buried, so she directly proposed this suggestion.

"Well, that's settled, then I'll go and get Poppy tomorrow." Kane said heavily.

"I'll go too," Lucia said immediately. She hadn't seen Poppy for the last time, though she knew it would be very sad.

Kane hesitated. He didn't know if Lucia could stand it, so he looked at Arthur. Arthur received his look and said immediately,

"It's okay. I'll go with Lucia."

So, several people decided to take Poppy's body directly to the funeral parlour the next day, and cremated it after the farewell ceremony.

Unexpectedly, when a few people sent Poppy's body to the funeral parlour the next day, they didn't know where the media got the news. The paparazzi even followed them there. When they saw Lucia, they gathered around them without caring the atmosphere of solemn mourning.

Lucia was wearing a black dress today. Her face was slightly pale and worried. She looked even more attractive under the black dress. Poppy's body had been sent for final finishing, so until now she hadn't seen her yet. Being surrounded by reporters in this sad mood, no matter how good-tempered she was, she will break out.

"I advise you to be kind. The funeral parlour is the last stop for the departed. It is a solemn place. It is not only where we are seeing off relatives, friends and loved ones, but also other people. You come here to follow news. Don't you think is it too much?!"

Faced with tricky questions from reporters, especially the speculation about her true relation with Poppy, Lucia no longer hid her anger and questioned everyone.

The reporters looked at each other. Of course they knew this was a solemn place, and many of them had also bid farewell to their relatives here, but Lucia's news was too valuable, and they really didn't want to give up.

"If you don't leave, leave all your names. I will visit you in person later." Seeing that the reporters had no intention of retreating, Arthur stood directly in front of Lucia and said to them with a cold face.

Arthur's style had long been known in Athegate. Reporters knew that he did what he said. There will always be one or two timid people in a group. Once they retreated, the others also fled the place, being afraid that Arthur will really hold them accountable.

Seeing the reporters leave and the surroundings returning to peace, Arthur said displeasedly, "Who the hell disclose the information?"

"We didn't take back Poppy's body secretly, and you have been followed by paparazzi all the time, so it's not surprising to be chased here." Kane guessed.

"Looks like I'm going to take a good look at the environment around me." Arthur had been photographed by paparazzi before, when he was alone and didn't care, but it can't bother Lucia!

Lucia didn't participate in the conversation between Arthur and Kane. She just stared in the direction of the ceremonial hall, as if she could see Poppy lying inside through everything.

Upon seeing this, Arthur gently took Lucia into his arms and waited with her.

There will never be laughter in the funeral home, only a low cry accompanied by missing scattered in the air. Lucia listened to those crying, and her heart suddenly felt bleak.

Soon after, the staff informed Lucia that Poppy had finished the final arrangement of her remains and was sent to the farewell hall. Lucia had been waiting just now, but she hesitated after knowing that she was going to see Poppy for the last time.

She didn't dare. She couldn't bear it.

Even Kane didn't take the initiative to move his feet. Juliana didn't come with the baby today, and now he was holding back his emotions.

When sending Poppy's body for beauty treatment just now, Kane specifically instructed to cover up the bullet mark between her eyebrows, but he knew very well that in his heart, the bullet mark would always be there.

Arthur saw that Lucia and Kane had the same sad expression, and only he could be more rational at this time, so he wrapped his arms around Lucia's waist, and patted Kane's shoulder with the other hand. When Kane turned back, he nodded at him, which was both comforting and encouraging.

Kane's eyes touched Lucia's sad face, and he realized that he couldn't be weak now, so Lucia would not be able to move on.
