She Is A CEO

Chapter 1084 Overwhelmed with Shame

Upon hearing this, Eve bowed her head in guilt again.

"It's not a trivial matter that you asked Lauren to help you now. It's to kill someone. Don't you think that's connivance?" Lucia planned to give Eve a good reminder.

"But Casper wants to kill my sister!" Eve became agitated. "I can't let my sister have an accident!"

"Because she can give you a blood transfusion?" Lucia asked deliberately.

"No!" Eve immediately denied.

"I never thought about it that way, just because she is my older sister. In the past... my sister actually hated me because my health was poor, and my parents needed to take care of me all the time, so they would inevitably neglect my sister."

"I know it's all my fault, and it's because of me that she left home alone. What happened to her may not be my responsibility, but I can't shirk the blame. I have to make up for it all!"

Hearing this, Lucia understood. It turned out that Eve still harbored such deep guilt in her sisterhood. No wonder she couldn't resist Nia's bitterness after all.

With a sigh, Lucia asked Eve,

"Since you have made up your mind, why do you want to apologize to me? In fact, the person you should apologize to is Lauren."

Eve's eyes were a little confused, and she didn't know why she wanted to explain clearly to Lucia, maybe because Lucia was too upright, too pure in the face of right and wrong, just like some people's certain beliefs. She just wanted her to understand that she was not the kind of person she thought.

"I've talked to my sister. As long as she gets through this difficulty, she will run her own company well in the future, keep herself safe, and never have any extraneous thoughts."

"It's hard to get enough." Lucia's voice sounded like a sigh.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

She knew the Nia she used to be, so she was worried.

One wrong step, more wrong steps.

"I'll be by my sister's side and advise her!" Eve had the confidence, but Lucia understood Nia's nature better than she did.

"It's useless to talk so much. Eve, take care." Lucia felt that there was no need to talk any more.

The resistance in Lucia's words made Eve a little overwhelmed. She put down the teacup slowly, but she was unwilling to get up and leave. Her eyes kept staring at the ground.

Seeing that Eve exuded a pitiful weakness, Lucia once again sighed heavily. Even if she was like this, let alone Lauren who loved her?

"Eve," Lucia said, walking to Eve and sitting down, looking at her profile.

"I can only say one thing now: Nia is no longer the sister you knew, and Lauren's identity is different from others. As long as you're with him, Nia will continue to use you to drain resources from Lauren. This cycle will never stop, and Lauren won't refuse Nia for your sake. Only you can break this dead end."

Lucia didn't want to say these words, but she had to remind Eve.

Eve still hung her head low and Lucia wasn't sure if she was listening or not. After a while, Eve looked at Lucia with great sadness in her eyes that even softened Lucia's heart. Just as she was about to say something else, Eve suddenly stood up and stuttered,

"I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll go back now."

"I'll have the driver take you," Lucia immediately stood up.

Eve shook her head and said as she walked out. "No need. I can go by myself."

"No way. I'll take you to the driver," Lucia's tone left no room for argument. She wanted Eve safely back by Lauren's side.

Seeing that Lucia had already walked past her towards the door, Eve felt a bit lost. She came here today just to apologize and didn't want any trouble for Lucia.

"Listen. Let's go," said Lucia turning around towards Eve in an Arthur-like manner.

In the parking lot, Lucia watched as Eve got on Webbex Group's car herself while instructing the driver to send her directly back to the hotel where he would hand over everything personally in front of Lauren himself. All this attention made Eve feel embarrassed yet secretly happy inside.

She did not hate her because of what happened earlier today.

"Alright then. Don't tell Lauren about coming here today," reminded Lucia before closing the door behind Eve who quickly lowered down its window saying,

"Ms. Webb, thank you..."

Lucia waved goodbye watching as the car drove away feeling worried if Eve really took what she said seriously.

In fact, those words were not just about Nia but also subtly reminding Eve of how important she was in Lauren's life especially when it came down complicated family issues which was something that Eve must be aware of.

Lucia could only hope everything went smoothly between them from now on. All they could do was wish each other well at this point.

Ever since Eve had a one-on-one conversation with Lucia, she always seemed to have a heavy heart. When Lauren asked her about it, she wouldn't say anything and just entered the depths of winter with a low mood. The biggest holiday in this country was only a few days away and the hotel had already started decorating. The grand European style was mixed with traditional decorations, which even someone like Eve who hardly ever left the hotel could feel the strong festive atmosphere.

During holidays like this, people always missed home more than usual. Eve had discussed going home for the holiday with Nia before, but Nia kept making excuses and never gave her a definite answer. She would say that work was too busy or that she didn't want to trouble their family members. Even though Eve was naive, she could tell what her sister's true intentions were after being brushed off twice, so she stopped bringing it up altogether.

Just when Eve was hesitating about what to do next, her parents surprised her in a huge way. Well... it could be considered more of a shock than anything else.

Since they last parted ways, Mr. and Mrs. Davidson had been worried about their two daughters - especially Eve since this was the first time their second daughter had been away from them for so long since birth. Although they talked on the phone often enough to let them know that everything was okay, it wasn't as reassuring as having them by their side all day long.

So Mr. Davidson suggested visiting Athegate to see how his daughters were doing and how Lauren's relationship with his eldest daughter was progressing these days.

Mrs. Davidson wholeheartedly agreed with him so they immediately went out shopping at local markets for some special products. They carefully packed everything into suitcases while wearing most of their clothes on themselves, hoping that their daughters would enjoy these delicacies from back home without any damage during transportation. After packing everything up nicely, the couple set off on train towards Athegate right away.
