My Mommy Is A CEO

When he was about to say something, he found that her eyes suddenly became gloomy and filled with hatred.

He turned his head confusedly to follow her gaze. When he saw what she saw, the air seemed to freeze in an instant.

On the left side of the bench, Lucia stood there at a loss.

Lucia had been working overtime for nearly half a month. After Eduard knew about this, he forced her to take a leave. When her son was not at home, she felt uncomfortable staying home alone. Then she thought of going out for a walk. She came to this riverside park where she had strolled with Arthur. But she had never expected to meet him and Amelia.

No one spoke, but Juliana’s resentment could be sensed by all.

“What a coincidence, Lucia…” Juliana’s sarcastic voice broke the silence.

Lucia didn’t respond to her. She looked up at Arthur and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

“Athegate is so big. How can I meet you everywhere? Is Arthur a magnet?” She stood up and looked at Lucia, scoffing at Lucia’s purpose of showing up here.

“I just came out for a walk,” replied Lucia. Although Lucia sympathized with Juliana, she didn’t allow Juliana to be sarcastic with her for no reason.

“Why did you choose this place for a walk?” With a sneer, she shot daggers at Lucia, wishing to cut Lucia into pieces with her eyes.

“Julia, stop it.” Reluctant to see Juliana made things difficult for Lucia, Arthur stood up and gently pulled her away to stop her from making eye contact with Lucia.

He knew better than anyone else why Lucia chose to come here.

Seeing his movements, Lucia was sad. ‘Was he afraid that I would hurt Juliana?’

“It’s okay. Let her talk. It’s better if she can make things clear,” Lucia said calmly. She always wanted a chance to sort things out with Juliana.

“What do you mean?” Before Arthur could say anything, Juliana stood out again, holding his arms and glaring at Lucia.

“I don’t know why you lied. You asked me to go to the lady’s room with you that night. And I got a hotel room for you because your stomach ached. But you told Arthur a different story.” Lucia wasn’t afraid because she was innocent.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“You are lying!” Juliana was afraid that Lucia would nail her lie, but she knew Arthur’s faith in her, so she looked up at him and said,

“Arthur, don’t listen to her nonsense. She pretended to be drunk and led me to the hotel room. I found her missing after I went to Eduard and returned to the room. You can ask Eduard if it’s true. I’m not lying!”

He looked at Lucia and then looked down at Juliana. Their statements were completely different. He didn’t know whom to believe.

“I passed out after I drank the water for you. How do you explain it?” Lucia hid the fact that she was spiked with hallucinogens and only asked Juliana why she lost consciousness.

Juliana was Arthur’s good friend. Lucia believed that Juliana didn’t mean to drug her, but she guessed Juliana must be a part of it.

“You passed out?” Raising his eyebrows, he looked at Lucia worriedly. She had never mentioned it before!

“There is no witness. You can say whatever you like.” Juliana asserted that Lucia made up a lie.

“What I said is not groundless.” Lucia’s eyes turned cold as she stared fixed at Juliana.

“What… What do you mean?” Juliana frowned in panic.

Noticing Juliana’s stuttering, he sensed that something was wrong, so he asked

“Lucia, do you have any way to prove your innocence?”

What he longed for most was that there was evidence to prove that what Lucia said was true. He wanted to be with her.

If Juliana really lied, he would never tolerate it.

“The staff in every hotel will install security cameras in the corridor for safety. If you want to see what happened that day, you can go to the hotel to check the surveillance video,” Lucia looked at him and said. Arthur would know it was Jacob who saved her, but she didn’t want Arthur to misunderstand her anymore.

Surveillance video!

Juliana changed color and her guilty look was captured by Lucia, who then asked softly, “Miss Knight, wanna go with us?”

“Julia?” He lowered his head, waiting for her answer.

“Arthur, I’m so tired. I want to go back and have a rest,” said Juliana sadly, shaking her head. She showed weakness when she looked at him.

“Hang on, Julia. The hotel is not far from here. Let’s go and have a look.” Arthur desperately wished to know the truth, even if Juliana was begging him with a pleading look.

Hearing his words, Juliana had no choice but to nod. She began to think about how to lie about lying after they saw the surveillance video.

When Juliana was silent, Arthur shifted his attention to Lucia and had a close look at her. She was much thinner, and her pretty, pinkish skin was as alluring as before, giving a sharp contrast to her dark circles.

‘Don’t you have a good rest?’

With Juliana by his side, Arthur didn’t ask Lucia about it.

Perhaps she was still unhappy about the way he looked at her that day. When he shifted his gaze at her, she lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, “Let’s go.”

With that, she distanced herself from him and walked toward the stairs alone.

Arthur sighed silently and followed her with his arm around Juliana.

After keeping a distance from Lucia, Juliana whispered to him, “Arthur, trust me.”

Looking at her soft eyes, Arthur didn’t nod this time.

The three of them left the park. Lucia came on foot, so she had to take Arthur’s car to the hotel.

As usual, Arthur walked over and opened the door of the passenger seat for Lucia. However, Juliana suddenly rushed over and sat in first, looking at him innocently.

Arthur frowned. Lucia had walked to the back seat and got into the car.

Looking at the car door closed by Lucia, Arthur tightened his grip on the doorknob. Then he got in the car and went to the hotel.

On the way, there was silence in the car. Juliana was flustered because of the surveillance video, and she didn’t have time to care about Lucia, whom she hated most.

Lucia sat quietly in the back seat, staring out of the window, with her mind wandering

Arthur seemed to be focusing on driving, but the car speed was much faster than before.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the hotel. Lucia got out of the car, but Juliana, who was sitting in the passenger seat, refused to get out. It was not until Arthur walked over to hold her hand that she got out of the car.
