She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 Reunion of Husband and Wife

After Lucia and the others left, Miles remained sitting on the couch in a daze until his assistant called out to him, snapping him back to reality.

"Mr. Wood, do you have any idea why Arthur and his crew came here? They didn't make much sense," asked his assistant.

"They were just trying to get under my skin," Miles replied with a pained expression. "They probably suspect Casper's true identity but lack concrete evidence. Only Libby and I can expose the truth. Otherwise, even if they know what's really going on, they won't be able to do anything about it."

"I see," said his assistant thoughtfully. "So what are your plans now?"

"I'm most worried about Libby," Miles fretted. "If she goes looking for Lucia, it means she already has doubts about our so-called son. If she can't resist seeking confirmation from Jacob himself... I fear for her safety."

"Is Jacob capable of harming your wife?!" exclaimed his assistant in shock.

"He's capable of anything," Miles stated firmly as he slammed his hand down on the table in frustration. "No, I have to go save Libby! I'll book a flight right away and head over to Athegate!"

Miles arrived at Nia's apartment with little warning or notice beforehand and was only met by two lackeys who couldn't stop him or his team from entering before quickly retreating and calling Casper for backup.

Upon seeing her husband suddenly appear before her eyes like this, Libby was overcome with mixed emotions - joy at seeing him again but also sadness at all that had happened since their last meeting - tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Libby... you've been through so much pain..." Miles murmured softly as he took in the sight of her crying form.

Although touched by her husband's words of comfort, something seemed off about them when she heard through tear-filled ears; thus prompting Libby to ask,

"Why do you say that? How could you possibly know how much pain I've been feeling while being here with our son?"

Miles found himself momentarily speechless as he looked into those tearful eyes filled with suspicion; then finally spoke up after gathering himself together.

"Casper hasn't arrived yet... so maybe this is a good time for us both talk things out." He paused briefly before continuing, "I've noticed that ever since we reunited with our 'son,' he seems different somehow - not like the obedient boy we once knew anymore - even you seem different too..."

Libby listened intently as Miles spoke these words which only served further fueling suspicions within herself regarding their supposed child; ultimately leading up towards an inevitable confrontation between them all...

Miles had been involved in both the light and dark sides of life, having had many mistresses in the past. However, for many years now, he only recognized his wife and their son Casper. In the end, he pitied her.

So Miles didn't answer his wife directly. Instead, he asked her if she noticed anything unusual about their son. When Libby saw that Miles was concerned about this matter, she knew they wouldn't be able to talk later when Casper arrived with someone else. So, she told him what she had discovered - especially Leon's recording. To her surprise, Miles was shocked after listening to it.

"Miles, are you okay?" Libby worriedly held her husband's hand as she saw him trembling.

"I..." Miles was about to say something when they heard a commotion at the door - it turned out that Casper had come with someone else.
