She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 170

Lucia returned to Athegate and went back to work.

She forced herself to calm down after she met with Arthur that day. She didn’t hate Arthur, because she loved him so much that she couldn’t hate him. She could only leave in disappointment, and she started to think seriously about how to fight back against Jacob.

Lucia had thought of Esmae's suggestion to destroy JTP financially, but JTP Group was formerly Webbex Group. The downfall of JTP equaled to the downfall of Webbex Group, and the only way to get Jacob and Poppy out of Webbex Group was to prove that she did not violate his father's will.

It was hard to do it. Six years was enough to destroy evidence. Lucia did not know what to do for the time being.

But Lucia still took some action. She visited the hotel where the accident occurred, to look for the staff on duty at the time to get the whole picture, only to find the staff six years ago had resigned. Staff changes were very common in a city with rapid development.

After several visits, Lucia left each time with disappointment. Eduard found Lucia distracted for the first time at the board meeting and asked her to stay after the meeting was dismissed.

"Lucia, why were you gawking just now?" Eduard didn't mean to blame Lucia.

"Was I?" Lucia asked softly, her eyes blank, as if she wasn't even listening to what Eduard was saying at the moment.

"What's going on?" Eduard asked, looking at Lucia worriedly, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Is it because of Arthur?"

"No," Hearing Arthur’s name, Lucia answered immediately, and she quickly shook her head and told Eduard about her fruitless visits.

"I see ..." Knowing that Lucia was not dazed because of Arthur, Eduard heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You can ask me for help. I have much more connections in Athegate than you, and it's much easier to inquire for you. Just leave this matter to me."

"But that would be too much trouble for you." That was why Lucia didn't tell Eduard in the beginning.

"Save it. We're friends, aren't we?" Eduard said with a smile.

"Yep, we’re friends," Lucia finally smiled. Eduard really helped her a lot.

She said jokingly, "Unfortunately, I can’t help you much."

"You're helping me run the company, aren't you?" Eduard laughed.

While Lucia and Eduard were talking, Nia suddenly entered the conference room. Seeing Eduard, Nia hesitated for a moment before coming over and saying to Lucia. "Lucia, we have a visitor."

"A visitor?" Lucia raised her eyebrows, with a glint in her eyes. Nia wouldn’t have been so flustered if it was an ordinary visitor. So she asked, "Who the hell is it?"

Nia glanced at Eduard before saying honestly, "It's Poppy."

Poppy?

Eduard immediately looked at Lucia and had a bad hunch, but Lucia was very calm.
