She Is A CEO

Chapter 1094 A Misunderstanding

Lucia gave Lauren a glare, stood up and went to bring Eve, who was still standing in the hallway, into the living room.

Eve followed Lucia cautiously, but when they reached the sofa, she didn't dare to sit down and kept her head buried. She trembled as if she could collapse at any moment. Lauren still turned away from her and didn't look at her, while Arthur stared straight ahead with a cold gaze. Lucia glanced at both men who had similar temperaments and took Eve's hand, saying,Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lauren, is this how you take care of Eve?"

Lauren snorted and said, "I can take care of her, but I can't control her."

As soon as Lauren finished speaking, Lucia felt a chill run down her back while holding Eve's hand. She lowered her head and discovered a few drops of transparent liquid on it. She couldn't help but sigh and lifted Eve's chin with her finger. Sure enough, the little flower was crying.

"Don't cry," Lucia said intentionally.

Sure enough, the next second Lauren turned his head, but he frowned at Eve for a while and managed to hold back without speaking.

On the side, Arthur's eyes had already softened, and the sigh he let out was even longer than Lucia's. Now with Eve stirring things up, it was inevitable that Lucia would take action, but he couldn't blame anyone.

"Do you want me to save your sister?" Lucia asked.

"Ms. Webb, please save my sister. She really didn't mean to do it," Eve pleaded with tears in her eyes as she looked at Lucia.

"Didn't mean to do it?" Lauren snorted again when he heard the words. "Didn't I take you to see the hotel surveillance? She hit him on the head with a wine bottle, with a clear purpose and a clear mind. She didn't mean to do it?"

"Lauren!" After Lucia heard Lauren's words, Eve's tears continued to fall uncontrollably. Lucia scolded him with a sigh.

"I'm here!" Lauren also felt angry in his heart and stood up suddenly.

"Isn't what I've done for her enough?! I even agreed to ridiculous requests like getting rid of Casper. What else does she want from me? Does she expect me to be Nia's lifelong protector? This time it's her own fault! I won't change my mind!"

Since Nia's accident, Eve had been desperately begging Lauren to find a solution. Her tears had hardly stopped, but Lauren remained unmoved. This was not only because of Steve's instructions, but also because Eve had promised him personally that getting rid of Casper would be the last thing he did to help Nia. However, she broke her promise!

Nia was just a trouble, and the trouble never ended! Even Lauren got fed up sometimes.

After hearing Lauren's angry words, Eve unconsciously hid behind Lucia, which only further infuriated Lauren.

"Is it only your incompetent sister that you have in your mind?!" Lauren angrily exclaimed, showing his temper for the first time in front of Eve.

Lucia hugged Eve, who was crying uncontrollably, behind her and said to Lauren,

"I understand how you feel, but Eve was not wrong. This time it was indeed Leon who caused trouble first, and Nia acted impulsively to hurt him. Eve did nothing wrong by thinking of her sister's well-being as a younger sibling. Why take your anger out on her?"

Lauren snorted, noncommitte.

At this moment, Arthur, who had been silent all along, stood up and said to Lauren, "I didn't agree either..." Just as he said that, he saw Lucia give him a grateful glance. Although Arthur felt a sense of resentment in his heart, he continued to speak,

"But they associated with Jacob, so we have to protect them."

Lauren glanced deeply at Arthur and angrily sat back on the sofa, crossing his legs and looking to the side, trying to ignore Eve's low sobbing sound in his ear.

Lucia then turned around and said to Eve,

"Don't cry. I will help your sister."

"Really?!" Even with tears in her eyes, Eve's eyes instantly lit up.

"Just one thing I need to make clear to you," Lucia looked at Eve seriously and said, "I agreed to help this time because Kevin made me a promise. If he and Nia fail to fulfill that promise, Eve, I won't hesitate to take action. And even Lauren won't be able to protect your sister!"

Eve was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, if my sister doesn't keep her promise, I won't help her anymore."

"Who would believe that!" Lauren interjected, only to receive a deadly glare from Lucia the next second.

Lauren shrugged his shoulders, seemingly indifferent, but his hand resting on the sofa began to unconsciously twitch.

"Come on, I'll take you to wash your face," Lucia said. She knew Lauren was still angry, so she took the opportunity to bring Eve upstairs and gave Arthur a signal before going up.

Arthur had no choice but to take on the role of ambassador of comfort him.

However, seeing Lauren's depressed mood, he wouldn't just sit idly by. He came and sat across from Lauren and asked him,

"How come, are you really willing to be angry with your little flower?"

Lauren furrowed his brow before finally speaking,

"Do you know how far she'll go for Nia? Originally, I did not think that she would really keep her promise to ask me to help Nia for the last time, but I know that after her accident, she has been begging me, and finally said she'll do anything for Nia. Come on! You're a man. Can you stand it?"

Arthur could understand Lauren's feelings now that he knew the reason behind it.

Intimate actions between lovers should come naturally, driven by their emotions towards each other. If there were any interests involved, it can certainly make people very angry.

"But she is her sister after all," Arthur tried to console him half-heartedly. "Would you be happy if she ignores her own sister?"

"I'm very happy!" Lauren snorted in defiance.

Arthur laughed. "Lucia will bring Eve down soon. Don't be too stubborn or you might end up losing more than you gain if she really starts to fear you."

Lauren fell silent for a moment and unconsciously looked towards the stairs.

"Besides, Lucia is determined to meddle in this matter. Why create animosity between you and Eve over this? Just take a step back," Arthur continued when he saw Lauren relax a bit.

"I've looked into it and the only way to keep Nia safe is through reconciliation," Lauren asked Arthur as he turned back to him.

Arthur's eyes darkened as he slowly nodded his head in agreement.

Lauren seemed energized now, "Are you willing? Casper will definitely make Lucia do something before agreeing to reconcile, right?"
