She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039 Exclusive Gentleness

When Miles received Lucia's call, he hesitated for a long time before answering. Upon hearing that they wanted to meet with him again, Miles felt exhausted both physically and mentally. However, he still agreed to the meeting and arranged to see them at his home.

Upon arriving at the Wood Residence, Lucia couldn't help but marvel at how extravagantly it was decorated. "Miles is a proud man who has accumulated so much wealth throughout his life. Ultimately, it will all be passed down to his son," she thought to herself. "If he were to find out about Casper's death, it would undoubtedly weigh heavily on him."

"It's all Jacob's doing," Arthur said in a low voice.

"That's why we can't let him get away with it!" Lauren chimed in.

As they spoke, the three of them entered the Wood Residence and saw Miles sitting on the sofa waiting for them. When Lucia saw him, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. The last time she had seen Miles he was full of energy and vitality; now he looked worn out and defeated with white hair framing his face.

"Mr. Wood, your guests have arrived," one of Miles' trusted aides announced as they led Lucia and her companions over towards where Miles sat slumped on the couch.

"Please sit down," Miles said weakly without even bothering to acknowledge Lauren by name or show any interest in who he was.

Lucia didn't beat around the bush; after all, she was Libby's only person whom she had spoken with before their meeting today.

"Mr. Wood, I met Mrs. Wood yesterday."

"What?" For once there was some life back in Miles' eyes as he asked eagerly, "You've seen Libby?!"

"Yes, she just asked me some questions about Casper. I found it suspicious so I came here right away."

"What did she ask you?!" Miles asked anxiously

"She asked me several things related to Casper. Although at that time, she didn't explain why, judging from her expression, she seemed very nervous. Mr. Wood, you are already doubting Casper. What exactly happened?" Lucia observed Miles' expression while asking this question

"She knew nothing from beginning..." Miles sighed deeply. "If even Libby suspects something... I'm afraid... it must be getting more obvious..."

"Mr. Wood, could you tell us directly what exactly do you suspect about Casper?" Arthur interjected

Miles almost opened up about his suspicions but then thought better of it when considering that there might still be hope that his son could still be alive somewhere out there. So instead, Miles swallowed back what he wanted say during this critical moment.

Arthur and Lucia exchanged a glance before turning their attention to Lauren. He nodded slightly and began to speak.

"Mr. Wood, let me introduce myself. I'm from Mexico, and Lucia and Arthur asked me to help find Jacob's whereabouts. Unfortunately, I didn't find him there, but I did meet your son..."

"What?! You met Casper?!" Miles exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, I did. But at that time, Casper was already surrounded by a group of thugs who were involved in shady activities. Later on, he used his wealth to buy various identities for his subordinates before they all returned home together," Lauren explained discreetly.

Miles was speechless for a moment as he tried to process the information.
