She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201 Embrace

Just as everyone was chatting away, Jack and Victor returned with their entourage. The bodyguards behind them were carrying Jacob's gruesome, almost unbearable, body.

"Fuck!" Kyle was always polite, but he instantly became furious when he saw Jacob's body. He blurted out a curse word, "How did you bring him here?! This is a hotel! Do you want to scare everyone?!"

Jack and Victor exchanged a glance. They hadn't really paid much attention to this aspect, having lived amidst gunfire and battles. They had become somewhat immune to the sight of corpses.

However, Kane was more concerned about something else. He stood up and quickly asked, "Where's Dan?!"

When Kane spoke these words, everyone realized that Jack and Victor had indeed only brought back Jacob's body.

"What's going on here?!" Nick's mouth was so wide open in shock.

Jack turned around and said to the bodyguards carrying Jacob, "In this weather, we shouldn't leave the body out for too long. Put in some extra effort, all of you. Take him to the nearest funeral parlor and place him in a refrigerated casket. We'll retrieve him when we head back," Victor instructed.

The bodyguards were ordered to escort Jacob to a safe location, and only then did Jack tell Kane and the others about what he had seen on the beach just now.

Back on the beach, the reason for Jack and Victor's astonishment became clear. They had only found Jacob's body, and at that moment, they couldn't believe it. So, they had thoroughly searched the surrounding area repeatedly until now before returning. But the final outcome was unequivocal – Dan hadn't died, and he had already left!

"The footprints on the beach were submerged by the rising tide, so we couldn't determine which direction Dan went," Victor added after Jack finished speaking.

"We have to tell Mr. Davies about this right away!" Kyle said immediately, but he was stopped by Kane.

"No, they can finally rest well after a hard day's work."

Yes, at this moment Arthur and Lucia were lying in the hotel room. Lucia had fainted and was completely unconscious. While they were changing clothes and bandaging wounds, even Arthur slept soundly, indicating how tired he was. Kane didn't want anyone to disturb them now.

"He fell off the cliff. Even if luck was on his side, he couldn't have escaped without any injuries... If we don't go look for him, Lucia might have a hard time dealing with it alone." Gene knew Lucia's personality very well.

"Anyway, we don't have much time left," Nick suddenly became energetic and turned to ask everyone, "Are you tired?!"

Without saying, everyone understood Kane's meaning. Just when everyone was drinking and getting excited, they raised their arms and shouted "Not tired!" one by one.

"Great!" Jack's words were met with agreement from everyone, and they all became energized, cracking their knuckles and setting off on their journey.

In the early morning, a crisp bird chirp stirred Lucia's senses from her deep sleep. Before even opening her eyes, she slowly regained awareness and first felt the fatigue and soreness in her body, especially in her legs which were particularly achy. As she blinked open her starry eyes, Arthur's sleeping face came into view and Lucia's memories also awakened.

Recalling the terrifying scenes from the previous day, Lucia felt a deep sense of guilt. If she hadn't been so headstrong...

Lost in thought, she gradually approached Arthur. Unexpectedly, just inches away from him, Arthur made a sudden move. Lucia felt her scalp being gently held, and her intention to imprint a kiss on his lips seamlessly merged with the motion. The warm and familiar sensation caused Lucia's heart to instantly melt.

What was meant to be a light kiss turned into something more profound. Lost in their passion, their lips intertwined, and they became increasingly immersed in the moment. It wasn't until Lucia's breathing became slightly labored that Arthur finally released her.
