She Is A CEO

Chapter 1119 Facing Cruelty Directly

From Lucia and Eve's point of view, one of them can be seen lashing something to the ground with a whip, every time there will be a dull sound. It sounded frightening.

Afraid of that voice, Eve unconsciously clutched Lucia's arm tightly, her five fingers sinking into her delicate skin. Lucia didn't care, but Arthur, who saw this scene in his eyes, was not happy. Taking a step back, Arthur reminded Eve in a deep voice,

"You're hurting her."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Eve looked down and realized that she had left fingerprints on Lucia's arm. She quickly let go and apologized nervously,

"Sorry, Ms. Webb, it was not intentional!"

Lucia rolled her eyes at Arthur, "Am I really that delicate?"

"It's okay. I'm not in pain," Lucia comforted Eve with a smile, but she couldn't calm down her guilty emotions.

Just as the group was talking, the men in the courtyard heard their voices and looked over with suspicion. After seeing Arthur and his companions, one of them walked to a corner and soon after, Lauren emerged.

Lauren had been waiting for Arthur, but when he saw Eve standing next to Lucia, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Eve?!

"Make him dizzy first." Ignoring Lauren's angry eyes, Arthur said to him lightly.

Lauren glared and shouted something in Spanish towards the courtyard, followed by a dull thud. After that, everything returned to calmness.

"Why bring Eve here?!" Lauren shouted angrily. He was used to doing this kind of thing, but he didn't want Eve to see him like this!

"Flowers that are raised in a greenhouse will never grow big. She should be bold and clear about the consequences of her requests," Arthur's voice remained calm, unaffected by Lauren's anger. "Arthur!" Lauren gritted his teeth, about to curse again when he saw Eve's pale face, full of fear, looking at him. His heart suddenly felt dull and painful.

Lucia was afraid that Lauren and Arthur would argue, so she patted Eve's arm to comfort her and then walked towards Lauren.

Passing Arthur, and walking forward, they could already see the man lying on the ground. Lucia wanted him dead more than anyone else, and she could restrain this hatred more than anyone else. "Lauren," Lucia withdrew her gaze and looked at Lauren seriously.

"I don't quite agree with Arthur's approach, but I have to agree with his reasoning. Your identity is special and your background is complicated. One day Eve must accept this fact. Instead of constantly avoiding it, it is better to let her grow by herself, or how can she stay by your side, let alone share the wind and frost."

Lauren listened quietly to Lucia's words. He understood what Lucia was saying, but with Eve being so fragile and innocent, he didn't want her to see the dark side of humanity or his own true self.

From a young age, Lauren's hands were stained with blood. He was never a good person.

"Let her grow up on her own and let her realize the consequences of the decisions she makes." Lucia added as she saw Lauren lost in thought.

Lauren glanced up at Arthur before slowly shifting his gaze to Eve's face. Her complexion was even paler than before, and Lauren could see her shoulders trembling slightly. In the dim light, she looked as white as a frail ghost.

But...

Lauren suddenly frowned and walked towards Eve, passing by Arthur while giving him a glare.

Arthur nonchalantly curved his lips and walked forward to Lucia's side, then they both watched Lauren and Eve who were already standing together.

"Lauren..." Eve's voice trembled as she spoke, only then realizing how helpless she sounded as she looked up at Lauren.

"What happened in the end?"

Lauren gently touched Eve's cheek with his hand. There were infinite and complex emotions hidden in his eyes, but he still let go of Eve's face and held her hand as they walked towards the courtyard. He said, "Follow me."

Eve was almost being led forward by Lauren. Not knowing why, she was afraid to walk into the courtyard.

The light gradually became clearer, and the field of vision gradually expanded. Even if Eve didn't want to, she still saw a man lying in the middle of the courtyard clearly. Seeing the flesh turned out and bloodstains oozing out, Eve closed her eyes in fear.

It was really Casper...

She can close her eyes, but she can still hear. Eve heard Lauren speaking in a flat tone.

"I have tied up Casper as you and Nia requested, and now I can kill him immediately with just one word from you. Don't worry, no one else will know that I did it except you, Arthur, and Lucia. Wait until he dies. Just dispose of his body after that."

Every word Lauren uttered was filled with extremely real cruelty, and this cruelty hit Eve's heart in the most direct way, making her almost breathless.

"Eve, just one word from you." Lauren looked at Casper with an unchanged tone.

Everything around her seemed to be still. Except for Lauren's voice, Eve can only hear the beating of her own heart. Conscience ran in her blood, and cruelty and immorality were not allowed to occupy the slightest room, but... There was a voice in her heart saying...

"If I let Casper go, then Nia..."

Eve may remain silent, but it didn't affect Lauren who already understood her thoughts very well.

Indeed, he needed to take strong measures.

Reaching out to hold Eve's hand again, even though her eyes were still closed, Lauren still insisted on pulling her forward. Eve stumbled and hesitated, but he was still leading her all the way. With her eyes closed, she could smell the sudden smell of blood in the air.

"Eve, open your eyes." Lauren said after stopping her steps.

Eve, who was usually obedient like a puppet, opened her eyes as if under divine guidance. The sight of Casper's misery instantly caught her attention, especially the blatant redness that frightened her to no end. Without hesitation, she turned around and threw herself into Lauren's arms, trembling uncontrollably.

Even though the person in front of her was someone she hated deeply, Eve didn't dare to speak out and simply say those words.

"Eve," Lauren said, although he felt sorry for her, he was also trying to endure it. He lowered his head and said to the person trembling in his arms,

"Are you sure you really want to unconditionally obey your sister's orders, even if you don't want to do it at all?"
