She Is A CEO

Chapter 1048 Arrival in New York

At three in the afternoon, Lucia and Arthur finally arrived at the Davies Manor. The car drove through a beautiful and elegant garden directly to the front of the main house. As soon as they got out of the car, Edwin and Sophie, along with Theodore and their baby, greeted them in the living room.

"Teddy! Baby!" As soon as she saw her children, Lucia's eyes instantly turned red. She had missed them so much while being separated by thousands of miles. Now that they were right in front of her, Lucia couldn't keep calm anymore. With a single call, she was filled with emotion.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Theodore rushed down from the stairs like a little rabbit on an arrow's path towards his parents' arms before Edwin could stop him from falling down.

The little man had grown taller and more mature but still couldn't help crying when he saw his parents.

"Teddy good." Holding her son tightly in her arms while tears streamed down her face uncontrollably; Lucia's voice choked up with emotion.

Arthur was moved beyond words; even this usually cold and self-contained man couldn't help but feel emotional as he knelt down to hug Theodore's shoulders gently asking, "Teddy, do you miss me?"

As soon as he heard his father's voice, Theodore quickly crawled out of Lucia's embrace into Arthur's arms crying loudly, "Yes! I miss you."

One sentence easily shook Arthur's heart. He hugged Theodore tightly, feeling both pity for what he had missed during their separation yet also guilty for not being there for him sooner than now! Seeing Arthur holding onto Theodore made Lucia wipe away tears quickly before walking up along with Sophie who was carrying their baby. Something strange happened between mother-daughter bonding - their baby began babbling happily while twisting around within Sophie's embrace.

Lucia wiped away tears once again before taking over holding onto their child. She felt the baby heavier than ever since last time she held her months ago.

Arthur also walked upstairs hugging onto Theodore closely behind them until all four members reunited at last.

"Tomorrow Otis, Bailey and Douglas are all coming back too so we can celebrate Christmas together," exclaimed Edwin excitedly.

"Yeah! This time our whole family will have a great Christmas together!" added Sophie even more ecstatically.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Lucia held her baby tightly while Arthur hugged Theodore. They were both ecstatic as they hadn't seen their older brothers in a long time.

That night, the first big snowfall quietly arrived in New York, but back home, conspiracies and schemes still lurked.

Casper had been busy and stressed lately. StandHill had only been established for less than half a year, but there were already many problems to deal with at the end of the year.

He often forgot about time due to being so busy and unfortunately Miles didn't have any desire to help out at the company. Casper couldn't trust him with tasks either so he was left worrying about him while dealing with business matters.

At this moment, Libby found herself free from any obligations since Casper no longer sent anyone to monitor her activities. However, she didn't leave the house and instead waited every day for her husband and son's return.

On Christmas Eve morning, Libby heard something she never expected - someone ringing her doorbell. She was sitting on the couch watching TV when she heard it ring and thought it might have been her imagination playing tricks on her.

The doorbell continued ringing persistently until Libby finally made it over to answer it after hesitating for a bit. When she looked through the peephole outside though, what she saw shocked her beyond belief - how could it be Nia?!

As if sensing that someone was inside listening without answering earlier on, Nia kept pressing down on the doorbell until Libby eventually opened up.

Nia stood outside smiling brightly when she saw Libby before politely greeting her by saying, "Mrs. Wood! It's been awhile! How are you doing?"

Nia used to call Libby "auntie" before but now calling her Mrs. Wood showed some respect towards an elder figure like her.

"What are you here for?" Although both Nia and their son were at fault for breaking ties between them earlier on; since then Libby had always sided with their son, which meant that there wasn't even an ounce of kindness shown towards Nia who suddenly appeared at their doorstep today. Nor did she try hiding away any suspicion or wariness within herself either.

"Of course I'm here because Casper isn't around... I wanted to chat with you." Nia spoke bluntly without trying to hide anything from anyone else present.

"If you knew Casper wasn't here, then why did you come? Leave!" As soon as Libby realized that Nia had ill intentions behind coming over today, she immediately ordered her out of sight not expecting however that these words would cause laughter from Nia instead.

"Mrs. Wood! You haven't forgotten yet that this apartment actually belongs to me right?"

This statement left poor old speechless Lady Wood completely dumbfounded!

"Do you know why I haven't taken legal action against reclaiming my property yet?" Ignoring how stunned Libby seemed right now, Nia went straight past her into the room while speaking casually,

"It's because I knew all along that Casper would arrange everything nicely just so he could put you up in this place... that way I'd have an opportunity like today where we can sit down together face-to-face." "What do you want?" Even though Nia had already entered uninvited by now, Libby still closed the door and stared at her.

Nia sat leisurely on the sofa, looking like a host in her own home. Although Libby didn't like her appearance, she had no choice but to sit down in front of her.

"Mrs. Wood, I wonder how your son described the situation when he broke up with me. He probably didn't have anything good to say about me, did he?" Nia still had a smile on her face but there was an icy look in her eyes.

"You betrayed Casper yourself and you have the nerve to say that?" Libby couldn't forget about Nia's past experience as a mistress and she was even more unhappy now.

"Hehe," Nia laughed without any reservations. After laughing for a while, she suddenly became sharp-eyed. "If I have no shame, then your son is even more shameless. Besides, whether he is your son or not is another matter."

"What do you mean?" As soon as Libby heard what Nia said, she was stunned - what did it mean that he might not be her son?

"Mrs. Wood, are you interested in hearing me tell the story from the beginning?" Nia changed her attitude and spoke seriously. "Of course it's up to you whether or not you believe me."

Looking at Nia's serious expression for some reason made Libby feel uneasy - she felt like something big would happen if she listened to what she had to say, but if she didn't listen, then there would always be doubts lingering in her mind, so, eventually she decided,

"Go ahead and tell me everything."

Seeing that Libby took the bait, Nia followed what she had discussed with Kevin before, and only talked about things that were beneficial to her. Although she concealed a lot of truth, she successfully threw out the most important bait.
