She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 42

Satisfied with the silence of the crowd, Arthur quietly squeezed Lucia's hand and made a conclusion of the day.

"I have invited you here today to tell you personally that your companies have received a lawyer's letter from Davonnis Corp, and I will sue you for making false reports and bringing bad publicity to my company."

Arthur's warning was blunt and bold, but none of the people here would dare to question his strength. None. The reporters in the left half of this morning's report quietly buried their heads, and no one dared to look at Arthur onstage.

Arthur had said all the things he wanted to say. The person in charge who had been standing at the side of the stage came quickly to continue to host so that Arthur and Lucia could leave safely.

Arthur and Lucia seemed to have nothing to do with what just happened.

After walking into the elevator and out of people's sight, Lucia embraced Arthur and apologized, "Arthur, I'm sorry you have to go public with our relationship because I know you don't want your personal life to be public."

"You are wrong about that." replied Arthur, smiling as he hugged Lucia.

"What?" Lucia looked up blankly. Had she guessed wrong what Arthur was thinking?

Her eyes were large and round, and her lips parted. Arthur kissed her forehead lovingly and passionately before answering her question. "I want the world to know that you are my woman."

"You really fascinate me..." Lucia was shy from the kiss on her forehead and bent her head slightly to keep him from seeing her smile.

The press conference was over, and the reporters left one after another. Especially the reporters in the left half. They didn't look very good. They didn't expect Arthur to fight back in such an extreme way. Not only did he clarify the rumors on the spot, he had even sued these companies. Many of those reporters were paid to do this.

As soon as they left the meeting, many reporters received a lot of phone calls and they were all apologizing. These calls were all from their superiors at the companies, asking them why they had messed with such a powerful character as Arthur.

Among them, there was a male reporter who had just hung up the phone with his superior before he picked up another call, and he said impatiently, "What can I do? The lawyer's letter from Arthur has been sent to the office. I did the best I could. The managing editor has just called to give me a piece of his mind, and I was the only one in the room who dared to question Arthur. I'm afraid he'll call me later. I'm gonna have to go through another round at work later, so I can't help you."

The man on the other end of the phone seemed very dissatisfied with the male reporter's answer and continued to say something. Finally, the male reporter lost his temper and shouted directly into the phone.

"Five years ago, I took the lead in helping you attack Lucia, and I also contacted other journalists. If they find out, I'll be the first one Arthur's ever taken revenge on! Poppy, Lucia isn't what she used to be. She's got Arthur and Eduard behind her now. If I go on attacking her, my life here at Athegate will be hell. Don't think I have to do everything I can to help you just because you're my homie. I've done what I can!"

With that, the male reporter hung up the phone. Yeah, it was Poppy on the phone with him. He and Poppy came from the same place and he worked for a local entertainment magazine.

He was the one who helped Poppy and Jacob connect with other journalists five years ago and led the press to accuse Lucia of having an affair. Before today, Poppy told him to challenge Arthur's every word on the spot, but he couldn't, and he became the target of public criticism. He still shuddered at the sight of Arthur who was staring at him.

The male reporter was not happy. Poppy, across town, was even more upset. She was in Jacob's office when she slammed the phone into her hand and swore.
