She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1004

After Nia spoke, the atmosphere in the venue became tense. Casper was most concerned about Arthur's gaze, which was cold and distant as he stared at him. Although his eyes were void of emotion, there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind them.
In situations like this, it was best to leave.
"Ms. Webb, Mr. Davies, although you have decided to work with Nia, I hope this does not affect our relationship. You are still shareholders of StandHill and we rise or fall together. Please be cautious," Casper said before leaving.
As he walked past Nia and Kevin, he gave them a sideways glance filled with hostility. The three of them had deep-seated animosity towards each other now.
"I feel like Nia had another meaning behind her words," Eduard said as he noticed that something was off about the situation earlier when Casper automatically left after Nia spoke one sentence against him despite his usual arrogant style.
Lucia also had suspicions and looked at Arthur for answers but all she got was a gentle smile in response without any explanation from him.
After Casper left, Nia and Kevin also left after thanking Lucia and Arthur for their help earlier.
Eduard felt ignored but before he could continue talking, Arthur interrupted him saying,
"There's been a lot of turmoil tonight. Lucia and I just helped Nia to protect herself. Don't care about them."
Lucia nodded after listening,
"Tonight, we are just bystanders."
"Okay, okay, everything is up to you," Eduard didn't bother to guess, "When you want to say it, it depends on whether I am happy to listen."
"You're ashamed to say this. If Lucia and Arthur really tell their plans, wouldn't you take the initiative to come and listen?" Kane mocked Eduard unceremoniously, and the two bickered again for a while.
When friends were together, there was nothing unhappy.
In the second half of the banquet, Casper and Nia were on their own. They had their own contacts, and it was not just among the people talking. Lucia and Arthur really remained completely neutral. Even if someone came to ask curiously about what happened just now, they kept silent and didn't talk about it. This scene continued until the dinner was about to end.
The moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured down gently. Seeing that the guests were leaving, and Casper still didn't leave, Nia and Kevin knew that if they were careless tonight, they would lose their lives, so they came to Lucia and Arthur.
"Ms. Webb, thank you for agreeing to host this party. Casper and I have talked it out, and we won't compromise anymore. We'll help you find Jacob as soon as possible!" Nia said earnestly to Lucia.
"I hope you remember your promise. As for what happens after that, I won't interfere," Lucia replied calmly.
"Of course, we won't trouble you anymore," Nia smiled and said, "Casper hasn't left yet, but I'm sure he's already sent people outside waiting for Kevin and me to fall into the trap. So we will leave first later on without involving you two."
Lucia still nodded calmly without getting involved in these matters, but Arthur who had been silent all along spoke up,
"Miss Davidson, it seems like you're confident in escaping Casper's henchmen? I've also heard some rumors recently about someone helping you guys out. Do you know who that mysterious person is?"
Nia's heart skipped a beat when she heard this question. Did Arthur know about Lauren? Was he testing her?
Kevin saw Nia stiffen up and quickly put his arm around her waist while responding to Arthur's inquiry, "Thank you for your concern Mr. Davies but due to safety reasons, we cannot disclose any information about him. Please forgive us."
"I was just asking casually," Arthur said nonchalantly, "After all, anyone who can make up their mind against someone like Casper shouldn't be an ordinary person so I was just curious."
Nia laughed awkwardly before deliberately turning her head towards Casper's direction saying, "Then let us go first since it looks like even Casper can no longer remain calm."
"Take care." Lucia whispered before watching Nia and Kevin leave hand-in-hand until they were far away enough where she could see that indeed Casper had followed them slowly behind.
"It looks like things are going to get lively later on." She remarked coldly towards them.
"Nia has become reckless with Lauren's help." Arthur said coldly.
"Poor Lauren." Lucia sighed lightly before being hugged tightly by Arthur the next second; she raised an eyebrow at him only seeing his sharp gaze staring back at her fiercely.
"Don't feel sorry for him!" When it came down to jealousy business, Arthur was quite skilled at it.
Lucia couldn't help but laugh bitterly at his words.
While walking hand-in-hand with Kevin out of the hotel, Nia found the car arranged beforehand waiting for them - they got in together before leaving immediately afterwards - just then when Casper walked out too, Leon had already driven off.
"Boss! Get in! Our men have already followed them!"
"Be careful," Casper bent down to get into the car, reminding Leon, "Nia may be foolish, but Kevin is cunning. Don't let them play any tricks."
"Yes!" Leon replied and quickly drove to follow.
That night was quiet and still on the streets of Athegate. There were few pedestrians, and occasionally a few cars flew by with constant engine roars. Casper's group followed Nia's car by car, driving further away from the city center until they reached the outskirts.
"Boss, our plan is correct! Nia and Kevin are hiding out in this deserted area!" Leon said excitedly as he looked around at the increasingly desolate surroundings. But Casper wasn't so optimistic.
"I have a feeling that something isn't right..." Casper pondered.
Leon knew that Casper was suspicious but he remained confident at this moment as he continued to drive behind the car in front of them. Soon enough, they found themselves on a county road. According to their navigation system, Nia was apparently trying to leave Athegate altogether.
Casper couldn't shake off his doubts and immediately ordered Leon,
"Let everyone speed up and intercept that car ahead!"
Leon also had concerns but quickly contacted other subordinates. The narrow county road instantly turned into a racetrack as black sedans sped forward one after another with grass swaying behind them along their path. Finally, after more than twenty minutes of chasing, they caught up with Nia's vehicle ahead of them and successfully intercepted it.
The bright headlights on the dim county road pointed directly at Nia's vehicle as Casper led his team down from their cars.
