She Is A CEO

Arthur had already planned everything for her. When Lucia thought about this, her heart felt warm as if it were basking in the sun. She replied, "I know about this now. Don't worry, I won't have any contact with Casper during this time and I won't participate in any further investigations."

"Good girl," Arthur smiled and gently squeezed Lucia's hand.

"And Kyle's situation..." Lucia didn't forget about Kyle's innocence.

"I know," Arthur said. "If he leaks information to anyone else, he's done for. But it's understandable that he told you, so I won't punish him. Just scare him a little."

Lucia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that but didn't realize the weight behind Arthur's words.

Since previous generations, every loyal servant who served the Davis family until death was sincerely devoted to them. Kyle followed Arthur and his loyalty needed to surpass anyone else in the family - even when facing Edwin himself. And by defaulting towards Lucia, Arthur acknowledged that she was one with him until death did they part.

Arthur had always been gentle like this - never ostentatious but deep like an ocean.

Since Nia played tricks on him that day, Casper had been feeling restless and couldn't help thinking that it would be best to find out what Lucia knew about it all first-hand. If Lucia favored Nia over him, then he'd need to prepare an exit strategy for himself if necessary. However, every time he tried to approach her at work recently through receptionists, there seemed no opportunity whatsoever because she was always busy or unavailable somehow!

There was another person who could help investigate though. But, Casper would never mess with Arthur easily, so the matter was delayed. However, he was suspicious and thoughtful. After many times of deliberation, he left Libby in Athegate under Leon's supervision, and came to Lepus alone.

Miles had been emotionally drained for more than a month now after losing two trusted subordinates recently. His temper became increasingly volatile lately. He often vented his frustration on subordinates without warning or reason, which made everyone afraid of speaking up against him directly anymore!

At this moment when Casper returned, some employees came forward seeking his intervention, hoping he could talk sense into Miles. Little did they know what kind of person Casper really was. Unexpectedly, he looked worried on the surface, but found it amused in his heart.

He went straight into Miles' study room without prior notice, shouting out loud sarcastically, "I heard you've not been doing well lately? I came here checking up on you!"

Miles was staring at a photo of himself and his son on the desk, lost in thought when he heard Casper's voice. He immediately looked up, his eyes widening as he gripped tightly onto something. "You dare come here!"

"This is my home. Why wouldn't I come?" Casper strolled in slowly and saw the photo in Miles' hand before laughing. "Dad, I'm right here in front of you. Why are you looking at these photos?"

Miles was furious at his words and grabbed the cup on the table to throw it at Casper. However, Casper quickly dodged it with his quick reflexes and taunted him, "Dad, be careful! This face is expensive." He even touched his own face intentionally after speaking, which made Miles so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Alright," said Casper happily as he leaned against a bookshelf. "I came to see you for something important this time. I want to make StandHill into the second largest investment company after JTP Group instead of being under Webbex Group's shadow. Dad, can you support me?"

"Hmph," Miles sneered with sharp eyes fixed on Casper's face. "Aren't you very capable? Why do you need my help?"

Casper frowned but remained calm, "If Nia hadn't sold Stable Growth to Webbex Group, then I wouldn't have come looking for your help now since I could've taken things step by step." Miles didn't say anything but clenched onto the picture frame so hard that veins were popping out.

"Say something," said Casper knowingly since he knew that Miles couldn't refuse him anyway and wanted him to say it out loud.

"You promised me that I could talk to Casper. If you want my word, you have to keep it!" gritted Miles through his teeth while holding back anger.

"Do you want to tell your conditions?" asked Casper with a sly smile before continuing, "Miles, when I call you dad, it's because I pity your love for your child, but not we're equals."

"But Libby has been locked up by me for so long which has made you look haggard too." He sighed before saying, "Alright then let's make a deal."

"Really?!" exclaimed Miles excitedly as soon as he heard this news

Casper just smirked without saying anything else before taking out his phone and dialing someone while putting it on speaker mode facing towards them both. "Is there someone next to you?"

"Yes," replied a male voice from the other end of the line

"Just let him speak for two seconds." said Caspar calmly while keeping an eye on Miles.

"Didn't you promise to let him speak to me?!" Just hearing his son's voice would not satisfy Miles. He shouted indignantly.

"You're overthinking it," Casper mocked mercilessly. "Who knows if you'll try to extract something from him? And I've already been generous enough to let you hear his voice." Miles was eager and his eyes were fixed on the phone, his heart already twisted into a knot, so he didn't dare to ask for more.

Then he listened to the male voice that answered earlier,

"Boss, the person is here, but he's still very stubborn."

"It's okay, just make him scream a little. My 'dad' is still waiting," Casper said with a cruel smile, enunciating each word.

Miles was about to get angry when he heard a voice on his phone that was all too familiar.

"Dad! Save me! Dad! Help me!"

The voice sounded like it was tearing through a dry swamp, hoarse and incredibly mournful, but Miles knew immediately that it was his son's voice! It really was Casper's voice! Miles shuddered all over and tried to rush over the table to grab the phone, but Casper cruelly hung up the call in the next second. Miles grabbed his arm and shouted loudly, "Give me the phone! My son, my Casper!"

The roar was deafening, and tears welled up in the corners of Miles' eyes, making him look utterly desolate. But Casper had no sympathy for him. He forcefully pushed Miles away from himself, causing him to stumble and almost fall. In a cold voice, Casper said,

"Okay, you've heard his voice. You know what to do now, right?"

Barely holding on to the edge of the table, Miles glared at Casper through tears, eager to tear him apart.

Casper ignored his hatred towards himself and leisurely strolled to the door, turning back to him before leaving and saying,

"Miles, if you want Casper and Libby to stay alive, behave yourself."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
