She Is A CEO

Chapter 1092 The Culprit

"This... looks really good..." Lucia said, her face covered in pink that even the lights couldn't hide.

Arthur was even more certain of his thoughts now. Under the table, their fingers intertwined, letting their emotions rise with the warm light.

At this moment, Theodore and Kylee were each taken by Sophie and Edwin to listen to other relatives' praises of the two children. The two old people's mouths couldn't close because they were so happy.

They had to be happy because there was one more thing to do on this trip back home: register Theodore and Kylee as siblings in Davies family registry. They were children of the Davies clan and their registry naturally had to be in a place where bloodlines continued.

This was a big deal for Edwin and it could finally be done now.

In addition, since Kylee's full moon banquet did not invite any relatives from Davies family before, Edwin and Sophie decided to take their grandchildren back home for a few days so they could visit relatives before leaving.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucia and Arthur stayed at home for a few days during which Arthur took Lucia around his hometown thoroughly while everyone gathered together neatly. They also visited many elderly relatives which made Lucia feel fresh because she lived with her father since childhood; there weren't many family members like those in Davies family who were lively all year round.

Until one night when Lucia received a phone call that made them decide to leave early, but they already agreed that they would meet up with brothers again at Athegate so Lucia wasn't too reluctant about leaving her children behind yet again.

As they returned back into Athegate, streets still seemed somewhat deserted because holidays hadn't ended yet plus it happened on Saturday or Sunday so many people who went back home haven't returned yet. Decorations still hung everywhere without needing human presence to enhance its festivity moodiness

After getting off the plane, Lucia insisted that Arthur go home first while she dealt with this matter along with Kane but Arthur couldn't rest easy about it.

Even though sitting inside an air-conditioned car provided warmth, he still pulled up Lucia's collar slightly, frowning saying,

"I'll accompany you just in case someone deliberately makes things difficult later..."

"It's okay," said Lucia lightly smiling as she felt moved by Arthur's gentle gesture, unconsciously rubbing her cheek against his chin saying,

"Kane is already a lawyer; why should we worry?"

"But..."

Arthur didn't finish speaking before being interrupted by Lucia, "Don't come along. I don't want anything bad happening nor do I want you involved either! Don't worry, okay?"

Lucia's starry eyes shimmered as Arthur could only nod helplessly at her. After dropping Lucia off at her destination, Arthur went home with a heavy heart, while Kane had been waiting for her here. Lucia looked up at the imposing police station entrance and sighed inwardly. She never thought she'd have to come back here again.

Kane greeted Lucia in the lobby and before he could even exchange pleasantries, he told her, "Everyone is inside now."

"Let's go take a look," Lucia followed Kane into the police station.

The officer in charge of this case explained everything to Lucia, along with Kane's additional information. She was able to understand the cause and effect of the incident more clearly now.

It turned out that when Lucia and Arthur went back to their hometown, something big happened in Athegate. Fortunately, most of the people had already left town by then; otherwise it would have caused quite a stir.

Stable Growth and Stand Hill had always been arch-rivals in Athegate; everyone knew about it. They thought they would lay low during the holiday season but things still escalated anyway.

During the festival period, Libby finished her brief treatment and returned home to Lepus for celebrations. It was unthinkable not to return home during such an important holiday so Casper followed Miles back to Lepus while leaving StandHill affairs under Leon's care.

Nia heard that and was happy because they hadn't held any grand parties lately due its lack of influence among high society members. This kind of influential gathering can attract many upper-class people so Nia sent invitations, even using personal connections towards many big shots from various industries.

The location chosen for Stable Growth's new year party was Dekee Hotel which only came through Lauren's face or else Adam wouldn't bother with such small money matters.

One day during this festive period, Dekee Hotel's third-floor banquet hall was decorated luxuriously beyond words, thanks largely due Nia investing heavily into it. She wanted to show off since industry insiders were giving them face by attending their party. Despite being considered as black horse, after Casper left Stable Growth, it was without much momentum nor attention anymore. That was why Nia felt like she shone brightly throughout whole event unable stop smiling from ear-to-ear all night long!

This matter originally had nothing to do with Stand Hill. Stable Growth could do whatever they wanted. However, Leon had been paying attention to Nia's movements and recently received news that a financial tycoon in the city was going to attend her party. This tycoon had just closed a deal with Casper not long ago, and in Leon's opinion, he should be on their side. He never expected him to attend Nia's party, which made Leon very angry.

"Nia is too damn proud!" In the apartment, Leon slammed a bottle on the ground and said fiercely, "Knowing that Mr. Mullins is one of us, she still dares to invite him over. She doesn't even put our boss in her eyes!"

The subordinates also drank a lot of alcohol and one by one they all agreed with each other.

"That's right, Nia is being too haughty!"

"Maybe she wants to take advantage of the situation and defect!"

"Leon, we can't let her be so proud!"

Leon was originally an impulsive person. He drank again just now, and now he felt his blood boiled under the echo of a group of subordinates. He immediately took a weapon and led a group of subordinates towards the Dekee Hotel.

While Nia was entertaining the guests with a smile on her face, Leon's group barged in. Her face turned pale at the time, and before she could react, Leon's group started beating up in the banquet hall while they were drinking. Their faces changed suddenly, and they all avoided, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

Leon was a frequent companion of Casper, and in high society circles, everyone knew that this was related to the feud between Stable Growth and StandHill. Therefore, even if someone had the ability to intervene, no one stepped forward. Rather than saying they were avoiding it, it was more accurate to say they had retreated to a safe position to watch the show.

As Nia watched the party she had painstakingly arranged being ruined, she felt a surge of anger rise within her. Without waiting for Kevin to act, she grabbed a bottle of red wine and charged towards Leon. Despite still wearing her stunning gown and high heels, all Nia could see in that moment was the culprit - Leon.
