She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 50

"So what? You just came back with no scruples and no purpose?" Jacob couldn't believe that Lucia returned to Athegate only because of homesickness, knowing that under his and Poppy's defamation, Lucia had been notorious in Athegate right now. Lucia would also be used as a negative example of adultery.

"Why can't I?" Lucia lowered her eyes and responded coldly.

Every word of What Lucia said was true, but Jacob who naturally had a suspicious mind thought Lucia was lying.

Although Lucia had hatred for Jacob and taking back the Webbex Group was a plan she had yet to implement, her return to Athegate this time was indeed a coincidence. The offer from Jibillion Inc itself was beyond her expectation, and even the city where she would work was out of her control before. Since she had the chance to come back home, Lucia wouldn't hesitate, let alone fear Jacob and Poppy.

Because this was her home!

This was Lucia's most honest answer.

"Okay, of course!" Jacob sneered and sarcastically said. "As soon as you came back, you became the CEO of Jibillion Inc. You have a close relationship with Eduard, and now Arthur is deeply in love with you. Don't tell me that all this is going with the flow, or it will pose no threat to JTP Group!"

The most difficult thing in the world was talking sense into a madman.

Lucia wanted to take a deep sigh, but since Jacob was so wary of her presence, it meant that he was worried that she would dig up what happened five years ago. Besides, she could see that JTP Group was not without flaws now. If he had nothing to lose, there was no need to guard her.

Lucia showed a rare sly smile and deliberately stared into Jacob's eyes and said, "Why, are you afraid?"

Lucia was provoking Jacob. Anyway, even if she didn't deliberately target JTP Group, Jacob would still keep getting her into trouble because of his suspicion. he and Poppy were the ones who planned the scandal ten days ago, weren’t they?

"You!" Jacob didn't expect Lucia would say such a thing, so he didn't know what to say for a while to fight back.

"If you are afraid, then you can go ahead and play all the schemes and tricks to attack me. Anyway, justice will prevail. What happened ten days ago has proved this. If you are not afraid, then you should sit in your president's office and take good care of all of the things you've got 'with great difficulty'. Don't worry about what I might do all day long."

Lucia stared at Jacob fearlessly, warning him coldly.

Jacob was extremely angry, but his thoughts got clear, "Lucia, it seems that you have made a lot of progress in these years..."

Jacob looked at Lucia, saying these meaningful words.

"I do," Lucia answered without hesitation. "I have grown a lot. Now I can read people well, and I can tell good from the bad."

The only ironic side of Lucia in her life was probably all shown when she was with Jacob.

This time, Jacob choked once again.

He came to question her purpose of returning to Athegate, but now it seemed that he was losing ground and being ridiculed by her.

Jacob knew very well that such an argument was meaningless, and the most sensible move now was to stand up and leave proudly. However, he just couldn't move his body.

The two fell silent again.

Lucia's patience slowly wore out over time. She thought Jacob could say something weighty this time, but now it seemed that she had overestimated him. This kind of dialogue was like a childish argument, meaningless and disturbing.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Lucia asked indifferently, looking away at the crowd outside the window.
