She Is A CEO

Lucia had already said her piece, and Nia and Kevin exchanged a hesitant glance. Lauren's identity was something that absolutely could not be revealed. If Lucia found out before they had a chance to explain, it would be disastrous. So Nia lowered her gaze and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Ms. Webb, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. I just wanted to protect that person. Although he has helped me a lot, we haven't forgotten our original intentions and we will never betray you or Mr. Davies."

"I hope so," Lucia snorted coldly with a hint of chill in her eyes. "In the future, you should be more careful in your actions. While I want to know Jacob's whereabouts, I will never sacrifice the reputation of Webbex Group again if there is another incident like this one."

Nia breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Lucia wasn't going to ask any more questions about Lauren's identity but knew better than to say anything else at this point.

As they left Lucia's office, both Nia and Kevin looked upset and remained silent until they were outside.

Standing on the sidewalk and looking back at the towering building behind them, Nia asked worriedly, "Does Lucia know something?"

"We definitely mishandled things this time," Kevin sighed heavily as he spoke. "We wanted to use this opportunity to suppress StandHill but didn't expect Casper would go straight to the regulatory agency people instead."

"Right now isn't the time for us to turn against them," he continued. "Looks like I need talk with Eve again..."

In front of Kevin, Nia always referred directly by name when talking about her sister.

Lucia watched as Nia and Kevin walked away with an enigmatic smile playing on her lips. Arthur came up behind her, his arms encircling around her waist while lightly sniffing at hair between necks. "Why did you change your mind?" Arthur asked curiously.

"I talked with Lauren last time... I don't want him too difficult." Once Stable Growth was pushed out, Nia and Kevin would immediately look for Lauren

"Do you really care about him?" Arthur teased as he bit down gently on Lucia's earlobe. His tone carried some mockery. "And besides, you know what you said earlier is only going make them look for him even harder, right?"

Lucia shrank back slightly from his bite, but then snuggled back into his embrace like a cat. She replied softly, "He looks at Eve just like how you look at me. I hope their relationship can have good ending." Arthur's eyes sank, and he didn't say anything. Lucia immediately sensed that something was wrong with him and turned back to look at him.

"What's wrong? Don't you want this?" she asked.

"With Lauren's status, it may not be a good thing for Eve to be with him. If she really is as innocent as you say, it will be difficult for her to stay by Lauren's side in the future," Arthur expressed his thoughts. Lucia couldn't help but laugh after hearing Arthur's words. What was he thinking? Didn't he care about Lauren too? She just thought that Arthur was overthinking things.

"Arthur, you know Lauren better than I do. Do you think that kind of man would let his beloved woman suffer?" Lucia said gently while wrapping her arms around Arthur's broad back. "Hmm," Arthur murmured softly with a smile on his lips.

Nia had fully recovered from her leg injury and no longer hesitated about her relationship with Kevin. So they went together to the hotel where Eve was staying openly. But Nia had a subtle expression when she saw Eve again.

Eve no longer looked depressed like the last time they met; now she looked healthy and radiant with bright eyes all the time - everything seemed fine!

How could this happen? She had already changed Eve's medicine...Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Nia, you finally came to see me!" Eve didn't know what Nia's malicious thoughts were at this moment; all she felt was pure joy upon seeing her sister arrive happily. Nia sat down on the sofa together with Eve after exchanging some fake pleasantries.

"Eve, your spirit is so good! The last time I saw you looking so haggard... I thought..."

"I also find it strange," Eve smiled. "Recently I always feel energetic. Thanks to your blood transfusion! Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Nia smiled on her face but doubts lingered in her mind...

It wasn't wrong for herself to give blood transfusions continuously due to Lauren's request; however, even if there were fewer drugs involved in these transfusions, then their effect shouldn't have been so significant - where did things go wrong?

But questioning whether or not her younger sister had improved physically might raise suspicion instead... so Nia turned around and asked,

"Have you been taking the medicine that I prepared for you?"

"Um." Thinking that her sister cared about her, Eve smiled even brighter, but the more spirited she was, the more displeased Nia became.

Just as Nia was about to ask more questions, Lauren knocked on the door and walked in. As soon as Nia saw him, she immediately fell silent and dared not probe any further.

"Lauren, my sister came to see me today." Eve stood up to greet him as soon as she saw Lauren come in, looking up with joy and sharing her happiness with him.

"Uh-huh." Lauren gave Nia a faint glance, responding in a perfunctory manner.

Kevin and Lauren had only met a few times. Compared to Lucia and Arthur, Kevin was more reserved in front of him and harbored a sense of fear deep down. This man can be truly ruthless, treating human life as if it were nothing!

"Mr. Osade, I haven't had time to come over as I've been recuperating. Thank you for taking care of Eve." Nia's only topic of conversation with Lauren was about Eve.

"You're welcome," Lauren replied without even blinking, still looking at Eve's bright little face.

"Eve, thank Mr. Osade too. You have recovered so well thanks to his care," Nia reminded her sister with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Eve blushed and realized that she had grown accustomed to Lauren's attentive care. She felt awkward about expressing her gratitude as it had become second nature to her.

Lauren looked at Eve's flushed little face and couldn't help feeling happy. Before Eve could say anything, he spoke up and asked, "Do you want to thank me?"

Lauren's smile was sly and charming. Eve's face was burning to smoke, and she called out with an intolerable voice, "Lauren..."

For a moment, the ambiance around Lauren and Eve was intense, and Nia had a sharp flare in her eyes.
