She Is A CEO

Chapter 1138 Say Thank You

"So that's how it is..." Thinking about how her husband had silently endured all this pain, Libby said sadly as she nestled in his arms, "Miles, I'm sorry for letting you bear this pain alone for so long..."

With one arm around his wife and the other gently stroking their son, Miles' hazy gaze became clear, "I used to be afraid that you couldn't handle it, but I didn't expect you to be even stronger than me. You even brought back Casper's... Libby, now that you know everything, let's go to Athegate together and see Jacob's fate!"

"Okay!" Libby replied resolutely.

Two days later, after placing their son's ashes and instructing their family not to say a word about it outside the house, Miles took Libby on the road to Athegate. But before they went there, he arranged a meeting with Lucia alone because there were some things both he and his wife wanted her to hear.

Lucia arrived at the appointed place on time and saw from Libby's eyes that they had found the real Casper. Lucia was so gentle. When she sat down after seeing Libby's still swollen eyes, she softly said, "Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, please accept my condolences."

Miles and his wife exchanged glances before letting Libby speak first, "Ms. Webb, thank you."

Lucia raised an eyebrow slightly wondering what was going on.

"I heard everything from Miles," said a sincere-looking Libby as she looked at Lucia, "If it weren't for your help in Mexico, I wouldn't have been able to get any answers no matter how much I asked around. It was because of your help that I found my son."

Lucia couldn't bear Libby's gratitude. She lowered her eyes slightly and said with some guilt, "Actually I should apologize. If not for me interfering, maybe there would still be hope in your hearts..." "No," said a determined looking Libby firmly, "We don't want false hope! If we're unsure of the truth, then Jacob will continue getting away with murder. Casper's soul will never rest easy." "Mrs. Wood..." Lucia didn't know what else could be said.

To calm down his emotional wife, Miles patted her hand several times before turning back towards Lucia saying, "Ms. Webb, don't feel guilty. In fact it was me who kept holding onto those empty hopes which allowed Jacob free reign all this. Since finding Casper, we won't hold back anymore. All preparations have been made already so please keep an eye out along with Mr. Davies' movements. Don't let him escape!"

"Of course." Lucia was obliged to take a look at Libby, who was full of hatred and grief, and said, "When the time comes, our two sides will take actions together, and please not to execute him privately. I hope that he will be brought to the trial seat, so that all his sins will be exposed to the world without reservation, and he will be punished by law."

Libby lowered her head and touched her index finger without saying a word.

"Mrs. Wood," seeing through Libby's thoughts, Lucia advised,

"I hate Jacob no less than you. He also killed my friend. It is actually very simple to kill a person. With the strength of me and Arthur, Jacob has already been torn to pieces, but this is too good for him. Executing him in private is just to make this person disappear. His crimes and mistakes will also disappear. Only by letting him accept the punishment of the law and proclaiming his crimes to the world can the souls of the dead be comforted. I hope you can understand."

Libby's brow twitched slightly as she looked up at Lucia. Seeing the same light in her eyes as in her own, she was deeply moved and finally nodded silently.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Lucia was a little relieved. To be honest, with Miles and Libby's hatred for Jacob, they would definitely execute him privately and let him suffer, even if it couldn't heal the pain.

Lucia and Libby chatted for a long time that day. Libby already liked Lucia and was filled with righteous indignation when she heard what Jacob had done to her. So, she no longer had the intention of executing Jacob privately.

After returning home in the evening, Lucia had been lying in Arthur's arms, looking gloomy and depressed. Arthur gently stroked her long hair and comforted her softly,

"Don't feel guilty. You haven't done anything wrong."

"But seeing the sorrowful look on their faces as a couple... I really feel guilty," Lucia said in a muffled voice.

"It's Jacob who is guilty," Arthur rubbed Lucia's stiff face and said, "Those who do wrong will eventually pay for their mistakes one by one."

"Miles is about to make a big move soon. We need to increase the number of people monitoring him. Jacob is likely to risk his life and try to escape," Lucia said, looking up with a glimmer in her eyes that only appeared when she spoke of this topic.

"I will arrange it, but you cannot see him alone anymore. When the situation becomes dangerous, he will definitely come looking for you!" Arthur's only concern was Lucia's safety. "Um." Lucia softly responded, but she didn't look into Arthur's eyes when she agreed.

When Jacob received the news that Miles had brought Libby back with him, he was actually quite surprised. After all, Miles had gone to great lengths to send her away. Why would he bring her back now? As soon as Jacob walked in, he saw Libby walking out. He put on a fake smile and called out "Mom" before noticing that Libby was staring at him. He asked,

"Mom, aren't you still receiving treatment? Why did you come back?"

She clearly knew that the person in front of her was not her real son, but that face was indeed Casper's appearance. Libby couldn't help but raised her hand to caress Casper's cheek, but the next second his obviously stiff body movements reminded her that the person in front of her was the murderer who killed her son!

Not losing her mind, Libby raised the same false smile, pinched Casper's face mercilessly and said,

"You little brat, don't you want your mother to recover?!"

Libby's strength was no joke, and Jacob instantly winced in pain and pushed her away, shouting,

"Mom, of course I hope you recover, but I am a little surprised, and more than anything else, pleasantly surprised."

Jacob was still not used to the physical contact with Libby. He was trying his best to endure this feeling of rejection, and he was also secretly observing the expression of this "mother". Although he can't see anything wrong on the surface, there was a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.

What exactly was it?

"What's wrong? Haven't seen your mom for too long and keep staring at me?" Libby asked knowingly. Of course she knew what Jacob was scrutinizing.

"I miss you." Jacob said without hesitation, and then reached out to hug Libby.
