She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 430

“Esmae, are you really happy that I broke up with Arthur?”

Lucia asked, gazing into Esmae’s eyes.

“What do you want to say?” Esmae asked without stopping to comb her hair.

“I’m just curious. Now, I’ll do whatever you say. I’ve cut all ties with uncle and his family, and even Teddy can’t recognize them as family anymore. Will that make you happy?” Lucia wanted to know the answer.

Esmae hesitated for half a second, then said, “I’m not happy, and I’m not doing this to get back at anyone. I just need to distance myself from the past so that you and Teddy are better off. That’s all.”

When she heard Esmae’s words, Lucia slowly lowered her eyelids, hiding the murky look in her eyes, and said, “In this life, will you never forgive them?”

But Lucia hadn’t forgotten about Helena and Otis, and there was nothing she can do about it, but what about them?

“No,” Esmae replied emphatically.

When Lucia heard this answer, she felt that something in her heart was sinking down slowly. All her emotions were becoming cold, and there were no more waves.

Sensing Lucia’s mood, Esmae frowned, and her tone was a little conciliatory,

“Lucia, I still say that Brown family will always be your strong support. Don’t worry about marrying Spencer. He won’t dare to treat you badly.”

This time, Lucia did not refute but just had a faint smile, answering, “I know, thank you.”

Lucia had apparently given in completely, but Esmae was beginning to feel bad. She knew she was strong, but she didn’t know what to say. At that moment, someone was knocking on Lucia’s door. The two looked towards the door.

“Who is it so late?” Esmae frowned, put down her comb and went to open the door, only to find Helena dragging her suitcase.

“Helena, what took you so long?” In the afternoon, Esmae rested and almost forgot that her daughter hadn’t arrived at Athegate yet.

“Mom, I’m here, aren’t I?” Helena smiled at her mother and looked at Lucia. “Lucia.”

Lucia stood up to meet Helena. Seeing her still dragging luggage, she can not help but glance at her. Having a slight smile, she did not expose her.

Lucia was a frequent flyer between Chicago and Athegate, and she remembered almost all the times of the flights. Helena was definitely not from Chicago at this time. In case Esmae would notice, Lucia said to Esmae,

“Esmae, go home and rest. I’ll be fine with Helena.”

Lucia said it bluntly. She was the one being chaperoned, because she knew Esmae was afraid she’d regret it.

“All right,” said Esmae, who was tired of staying up late with her jet lag, and said to Helena,

“Helena, take care of Lucia.”

“Got it. I’ll stay with Lucia tonight. I’ll accompany her to do her makeup tomorrow,” Helena said with a smile. After sending her back to the room next door with Lucia, the two went back to their room. After they closed the door, the smile on Helena’s face disappeared in an instant.

Lucia was not surprised. She walked slowly back to her dresser and continued to comb her hair. “Otis told you?” She asked

Helena pursed her lips. Even though she wanted to yell at Lucia directly about what was on her mind, Otis had already warned her. She could only suppress her impulse and say,

“Lucia, after midnight, I’ll take you to Arthur.”

Lucia’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing Arthur’s name now only made it hard for her to breathe. She forced a smile on her face and pretended not to care,

“What for?”

“I just want to see if you can be so cool with him,” Helena replied bluntly.

“If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t have left him,” Lucia said, lowering her eyes.

“Lucia, are you sure you don’t regret it? After tomorrow, your relationship with Arthur will be so awkward that it will be hard to come back. Even if it does happen, it will be met with harsh criticism from the outside world,” Helena said, frowning.

“It’s harsh now, but I’ll stick to my choice,” Lucia replied without any desire. She continued to comb her hair. If Helena was more careful, she would have noticed that her movements were stiff and monotonous. She was like a Muppet, with a meaningless loop.

“Okay, even if you insist on making the choice, can you say goodbye to Arthur at a time like this? Let’s put an end to your relationship.” Helena changed her words. She wanted Lucia to meet Arthur. She can’t believe Lucia would be so determined to meet Arthur.

Lucia sighed deeply in her heart. How could she not have guessed Helena’s intentions?

Turning around, Lucia’s eyes were clear and seemed to be really untroubled. She said anxiously,

“Helena, it’s useless for you to lead me to him. Now that everyone at Athegate knows that I’m getting engaged to Spencer. Even if I do meet him, what can I change? Besides, I don’t want to change.”

“Pursuing true love! What are you afraid of others saying? !” Helena said indignantly.

“Helena!” said Lucia impatiently. She frowned and said to Helena, “Don’t you see what I mean? I chose Spencer, and I left Arthur. It’s a fact of life. Stop it!”

Seeing Lucia lose her temper, Helena was stunned. After a few seconds, she said slowly, “Did you really sleep with Spencer?”

There was a moment of hesitation in Lucia’s eyes, but she replied, “Yes, I’m with Spencer.”

Lucia’s answer was quick, and Helena was stunned. She stared at Lucia for a long moment and whispered, “Lucia… this is not the way I know you…”

With a wry smile, Lucia no longer answered, but did not look at her. She murmured in her heart that she did not know herself, too.

In the wee hours of the morning, Athegate’s bustle faded away, and the city became much more empty, except for the occasional racing car that whizzed through the streets with a series of screeching engines.

Arthur awoke at that moment.

He didn’t know what he dreamed, but when he woke up, he called out in a low voice, “Lucia… Don’t go…” novelbin

Even in his low voice, Eduard and Kane heard him.

Unable to bear the silence, Eduard said, “Arthur, are you awake?”
