She Is A CEO

Chapter 1123 Irrefutable

Eve hesitated and glanced at her sister, but eventually obediently stood up and let Lauren lead her out of the restaurant.

Nia sat at the dining table for a long time. Even after the waiter had cleaned up the table, she still couldn't get over it.

What on earth was the reason behind this?!

It was really too unwilling. The sense of loss in Nia's heart made her restless. She was so close to getting rid of Casper and being able to do whatever she wanted, but why did Lucia have to interfere! No way! She had to figure it out herself!

After making up her mind, Nia grabbed the key on the table and left Dekee Hotel.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lucia and Arthur snuggled together on the sofa, watching Athegate's financial report. However, Lucia seemed distracted and would occasionally nudge Arthur with her head. It was unclear what she was thinking about.

"Can't make up your mind?" Arthur rubbed Lucia's small earlobes and asked her softly.

"Well, I always feel a bit suffocated in my heart," Lucia looked up at Arthur, her usually bright starry eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"Sometimes I really feel mentally exhausted. The truth is right in front of me, but I have to choose the most convoluted way to expose it. After you left today, I kept thinking about whether or not to take Casper to the police station and force him to take a blood test and admit that he is Jacob, but..."

"I understand how you feel," Arthur sympathetically kissed Lucia's forehead.

"The world has its own order, and we can only abide by it. Of course, if you really feel unwilling, you can continue with today's affairs."

Lucia felt a little aggrieved after hearing this and pouted slightly as she said to Arthur, "You clearly know what kind of outcome I want for him."

"So, why bother troubling yourself?" Arthur smiled lightly and spoke gently.

"You, even your way of comforting people is so subtle." Lucia couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, understanding Arthur's intentions, but... she really wanted to hit him.

"Is it too subtle?" Arthur raised an eyebrow and suddenly spoke seriously, "Or should I use a more straightforward way to comfort you?" As he spoke, he suppressed a smile and leaned down towards Lucia. Lucia quickly pushed him away, her face flushed with embarrassment as she exclaimed, "Arthur, could you please be a little more serious?!"

"It's hard to be serious in front of you." Arthur's words may sound ambiguous, but they were actually the honest truth.

These words made Lucia's face even redder, and the two of them pushed back and forth, making a fuss.

At this moment, Peter suddenly appeared in front of the living room. With a smile on his face, he coughed heavily to remind Arthur and Lucia who were playing around.

"Shut up!" Catching a glimpse of Peter, Lucia covered Arthur's mouth which was almost touching her neck, and shouted shyly.

Arthur, on the other hand, was shameless. He remained in the same posture with his arms tightly around Lucia. He just turned his head slightly and asked in a muffled voice,

"Peter, what's wrong?"

"Nia Davidson is here."

"She dares to come here. It seems she has already received the news," Lucia said coldly as she pushed Arthur to sit up straight.

"Let her in," Arthur ordered casually. Peter went to the porch and led Nia standing in the cold wind inside.

She rushed over with great momentum but regretted her impulse when she saw Lucia and Arthur sitting on the sofa in this unfamiliar villa. Especially after making eye contact with Arthur, she almost used all her reason to resist the urge to turn around and run away.

"It's so late for you to come," Lucia spoke slowly without even greeting Nia to sit down. "What do you want?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Nia's heart trembled as she unconsciously clenched her fists. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked,

"Ms. Webb, why did you save Casper?"

"So it's about this matter." Without taking her eyes off Nia, Lucia reached out and slapped away Arthur who was rubbing her thigh before saying, "Come over here and sit down."

This guy "bullied" her when nobody else could see him.

Nia cautiously glanced at Arthur before daringly moving closer beside Lucia waiting for an answer from her.

"Casper is related to Jacob; that's what you told me," said Lucia calmly looking at Nia.

"Yes," Nia nodded affirmatively.

"So do you think I will let this clue be interrupted?"

Suddenly speechless by what had been said by Lucia made it difficult for Nia who had imagined countless possibilities on her way there. She never expected Lucia's reason would be so simple that made her anxious, "But Kevin and I can also provide clues..."

Before she finished speaking, Lucia interrupted, "Until now, what clues have you provided me?"

Nia couldn't say anything back because of being silenced by Lucia's words earlier than expected. She originally planned on refuting some of Lucia's arguments after hearing them out, but didn't expect that possibility would be killed right from its inception.

"I don't know who you've enlisted to help," Lucia said softly, "but I have something to tell you: as long as I'm here and Arthur is in Athegate, no one can touch Casper!"

Lucia's warning was already implicit in her words, and Nia's face turned pale as she hung her head, afraid to meet her gaze.

"Are you done talking?" Arthur, who had been silent all along, seemed to have reached his limit. He slowly turned his head and looked at Nia with a faint tone. That kind of gaze reminded Nia of Lauren, who had also looked at her with such eyes just now.

"I won't disturb you then," Nia noticed that they were still there and quickly stood up. "Sorry for bothering you so late."

Arthur remained silent and shouted towards the porch, "Peter, see the guest out!"

"No need, I'll go by myself," Nia's voice was low, but her footsteps didn't hesitate for a moment.

After Nia fled in panic, Arthur said displeasedly,

"Until just now, she still has no intention of revealing the truth, greedy like a snake swallowing an elephant."

"She's not stupid. I know that if there is no news about Jacob, I will definitely take her to death." Lucia's tone was full of sarcasm.

"How to say? She had worked with you for two years and should be clear about your character. Actually... if she had been honest earlier, maybe there could have been a way out." Arthur really looked down on Nia's character. If she had been more sensible, things wouldn't have been so complicated.
