She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 129

“If she wasn’t merciless enough, she wouldn’t have set me up and kicked me out of Webbex Group. I have targeted Jacob since I came back, now it comes to my mind that Poppy is more ruthless than him.”

Lucia was too careless. It was not that she hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Juliana’s attitude toward her. She chose to let it slide because of her trust in Arthur.

“She uses Juliana to break up you and Arthur and makes you helpless and unable to fight against JTP Group anymore. How brilliant her plan is!” Eduard said sarcastically. novelbin

“Unfortunately, she has never thought that I have never used Arthur. Even if I break up with Arthur, I will not change my mind to regain Webbex Group!” Her pretty eyes sparkled with determination. Lucia was still that tough and independent woman.

Eduard looked at Lucia with admiration. He had known that Lucia wouldn’t get stuck in a dilemma, but…

“But you must be very sad…” Eduard said with concern.

The light in Lucia’s eyes dimmed.

She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “It’s not the first time I’ve been hurt. I can hold on and get over it!”

“Silly girl!” Eduard felt distressed when Lucia faked being tough. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Albeit in a cold voice, he said nice and warm words, “Just pour out your grievance! I’m listening!”

Lucia couldn’t deny that it was the feeling of being cared for. And the tears that she tried hard to hold back for the whole day trickled down her cheeks.

“Why doesn’t he trust me?” Lucia buried her face in Eduard’s shoulder, crying out her grievance.

“He is an idiot!” Eduard cursed. He heard Lucia crying. He found that he really fell in love with her.

“Yes, he is an idiot!” echoed Lucia, to vent her anger. Somehow, Lucia stopped crying.

“Thank you, Eduard.” Taking comfort from her friend, she got much better.

When she calmed down, she sat up straight, wiped her tears, and thanked Eduard.

“My pleasure.” Seeing Lucia look better, Eduard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He got the feeling of loss after Lucia disengaged herself from his arms. But he suppressed it and smiled. “It’s much better to vent out your feelings, right?”

“Sure.” Lucia smiled and nodded at Eduard.

“If you need any help, just tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself, okay?” Eduard said to Lucia.

“Got it.” Lucia nodded with a smile. It was not a bitter smile but a grateful one.

Looking at the smile on Lucia’s face, Eduard found that she was really good at captivating him.

He blurted out, “Lucia, you know I like you, don’t you?”

The smile on Lucia’s face froze and she stopped.

Realizing he spoke his mind, Eduard smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry to scare you. I just want you to know that Arthur is not the only good man in the world.”

Lucia quietly looked at the fake smile on Eduard’s face.

Seeing that he tried his best to ease the embarrassment, she felt that he was so cute for the first time.

She smiled and asked, “Hey, you do see yourself as a good man, really?”

Eduard froze. When he was about to retort Lucia seriously, he noticed the mischievous smile on Lucia’s lips.

Then he realized that he had been teased. He felt relieved and immediately put on his signature smile and replied, “Of course I am a good man. Everyone in Athegate, more precisely, in the country knows that I am a handsome, talented, and good man!”

“Yes, your ex-girlfriends all know that.” Lucia temporarily put down the heavy burden in her heart and joked with Eduard.

They began to argue with each other over it and the atmosphere became positive. Eduard didn’t mind her talking about his love affairs, as long as she was happy.

Compared with Lucia who was comforted by her friend, Arthur was unlucky. Juliana was giving him a hard time.

As night fell, Arthur returned to the villa.

As soon as he entered, he found that Juliana was waiting for him in the living room with an unhappy face.

“Why don’t you have a good rest in the room?” Arthur showed his concerns for Juliana subconsciously, but Juliana stood up and looked at him unhappily.

“Arthur, did you stay at Lucia’s house last night?” said Juliana’s reproachful voice.

Arthur stared at Juliana for a while and replied calmly, “Yes, I spent the night at her home.”

After getting the answer, a feeling of anger rose in her. She walked a few steps to Arthur, raised her head, and asked, “You still have contact with her? Arthur, what do you take me for, a fool? She is the one who caused me to be raped!”

No matter how angry Juliana was, she was in no position to blame Arthur for that.

Arthur realized Juliana was wrong, but he could only control his emotions and replied calmly, “Juliana, I know what I’m doing.”

“You know what you are doing? You don’t know! You’ve spent the night at her house!” Juliana yelled at Arthur in rage, but she regretted doing it immediately, because she found Arthur’s face changed.

Arthur was an independent and logical thinker. He and Juliana were just childhood friends, but evidently, she crossed this line.

Gloominess gathered in Arthur’s eyes as he said, “Juliana, I pretended to be your boyfriend to go home with you and deal with your parents. I hope you do not take yourself as my real girlfriend.”

Juliana was deflated but she forced herself to be tough. “What? You think I’m annoying now, don’t you? Arthur, you know that I have a deep grudge against that bitch Lucia. As my friend, you should be on my side, but you went to her and even spent the night at her house. Did I have no right to ask?”

“That’s not what I want to talk about.” Arthur stopped pampering Juliana. He stared at her seriously and said, “I’m talking about your attitude toward me. Juliana, don’t you realize you are trying to manipulate me?”

Juliana was stunned. She stared at Arthur and played dumb. “Did I?”

“I have told you that I believe you, but you don’t believe me, do you?” Arthur said.

For the sake of Juliana, he chose to distrust Lucia, but Juliana couldn’t feel his kindness to her.

“Arthur…” Juliana saw the sad look in Arthur’s eyes and instantly changed her tone into a pitiful one, “I didn’t mean to blame you. It’s just that I feel uneasy at the thought of you staying together. I am afraid she will say something to delude you… Can you understand my feelings?”
