She Is A CEO

Chapter 1093 Intentional Harm

When everyone was too late to react, Leon, who was unprepared, was hit on the back of the head by a wine bottle from Nia, and the glass shards flew away. At that time, blood gushed out like a fountain, and he passed out as soon as he rolled his eyes and pointed at Nia.

Later on, things became even more chaotic. It was unclear who called the police, but soon after they arrived along with an ambulance. Initially, no one accused Nia of causing harm to anyone, but Leon's subordinates certainly wouldn't let her off the hook. Before they even had a chance to move Leon onto a stretcher, they began pointing fingers at Nia. As a result, Leon was taken to the hospital while Nia and her other subordinates were detained. Kevin had to deal with the mess and it was truly a scene of chaos that day.

Nia hit it hard, and Leon remained unconscious until the next day. Casper, who found out about this, was extremely angry. He didn't even return to Athegate and stayed in Lepus without asking or caring whether it was to punish his subordinates for their reckless behavior. Kevin tried his best to bail Nia out but faced obstacles because the victim had not yet regained consciousness, and other suspects were unyielding. Kevin had no choice but to seek help from Lauren again, but he refused to get involved in the matter even though Eve cried uncontrollably in front of him. In desperation, Kevin could only turn to Lucia for hope.

That night it was him who called Lucia. At that time, Lucia was chatting with everyone and was in a very good mood. She felt quite impatient when she received Kevin's call. "Why should I help you?"

"Ms. Webb, only you can get Nia out now. I beg of you!" Kevin's tone was extremely humble, but Lucia remained unmoved.

"Beg me? Every time you have a problem, you come begging to me. But has any of the promises made been fulfilled so far? Can I still trust you?" Lucia said coldly. Kevin remained silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind before saying, "Ms. Webb, if you make a request, I will definitely help you accomplish it!"

"Too lazy," Lucia refused without hesitation.

Lucia's sharp words pushed Kevin into silence again. After a long time, he spoke softly,

"Ms. Webb, as long as you are willing to bring Nia out, I and she can appear in court to identify Jacob!" Kevin had made the biggest bet.

Lucia's eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. However, her tone remained cold and hard,

"Kevin... Are you using the word 'identify'?"

"I know, Ms. Webb, Nia and I are willing to help you accomplish this!" Kevin's tone was very firm and eager.

Lucia did not deliberately pursue the subtleties of Kevin's words and immediately agreed,

So now Lucia was at the police station. After listening to the officer's account, Lucia raised an eyebrow and said in a soft voice, "I didn't expect Nia to have such spirit." "Leon is still unconscious in the hospital, and his condition will directly determine Nia's sentencing standard. No wonder Kevin had to take a gamble," Kane said beside her.

"Officer, is there any possibility of reconciliation between them?" Lucia asked the officer after hearing Kane's words.

"To achieve reconciliation, both parties must coordinate. It seems impossible at present," The officer was already getting a headache. Every time they questioned those troublemakers during their first trial, they would question whether Nia had been released or not before even asking a few questions. They only stopped when the officers confirmed that she was still under supervision.

"I understand. Thank you, Officer," Lucia politely smiled at the officer and left with Kane.

"Lucia, do you want to go see Nia?" Kane asked as they were about to leave the hall.

"See her?" Lucia chuckled softly. "I don't need to see her to know that she isn't doing well because of this incident. There's no need for haste; let her learn from this."

"I've seen surveillance footage from that night in the hotel. Leon and his group did intentionally cause trouble but didn't hurt anyone physically. I never expected Nia would rush over with a bottle and intentionally commit harm - it leaves no room for defense against criminal charges except through reconciliation where Leon doesn't pursue criminal responsibility," Kane explained it all for Lucia.

"If we want reconciliation, then we can only find Casper," Lucia said here with deep-seated gloominess in her eyes - black pupils like ink stains on paper.

"So far Casper hasn't shown up yet; as far as I know he's still in Lepus - this behavior isn't like him so he probably ignored Leon's decision altogether."

Lucia knew without thinking too hard that once Nia was sentenced, it wouldn't harm Casper one bit, but convincing him into reconciling would come at quite an expense...

Thinking about this made Lucia gritted her teeth slightly, "Nia! You really know how to get me into trouble!"NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Kane escorted Lucia back home where she immediately told Arthur what happened after returning home. Arthur frowned deeply upon hearing everything before saying firmly, "Don't worry about this matter!"

"Arthur..." Lucia looked pitifully towards Arthur knowing what he thought already.

"Talking about reconciling with Casper? Who knows what kind of scheme he'll come up with against you? Absolutely not!" Arthur avoided Lucia's pleading gaze while speaking resolutely.

"But Kevin promised to testify against Jacob in court, which is very advantageous for us. Miles can only prove that Casper is not the culprit, but we need Kevin and Nia's testimony to confirm that Casper is Jacob. Arthur, I have to do this." Lucia spoke softly and gently held Arthur's hand.

"I forbid it! If you want him identified, I'll find another way!" Arthur remained stubborn. Lucia felt helpless as they reached a stalemate when the doorbell rang outside. Shortly after, Peter came in to report. "Mr. Davies, Mr. Osade has brought a young lady to visit."

Arthur knew exactly why Lauren and Eve were here without having to think about it. Just as he was about to say he wasn't available, Lucia had already instructed Peter to bring them in. Arthur looked at Lucia with a hint of anger in his eyes.

What man would let his woman negotiate with someone who had been coveting her for so long?!

Arthur couldn't imagine himself being so generous!

Lucia deliberately avoided eye contact with Arthur but didn't let go of his hand she was holding onto tightly.

Soon enough, Peter led Lauren and Eve into the room. Lauren wore an indifferent expression on his face while Eve kept her head down and followed closely behind him every step of the way. Lauren didn't consider himself a guest but this time he didn't care about Eve either; he walked over coldly and sat opposite Lucia and Arthur before saying,

"She asked me to bring her here."

Eve trembled slightly upon hearing these words; looking closer one could see that both of her hands had already clenched into fists as she stood there shaking uncontrollably - completely lost for words.
