She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041 Returning to a Calm State of Mind

"No need, this is enough to eat," Miles said, glancing at Casper.

Libby felt the awkward atmosphere between father and son again, so she quickly said some kind words. Only then did Miles start to use his fork and Libby finally relaxed.

"I'll go to the ladies' room for a moment. You two can chat," Libby wanted Miles and Casper to be alone together and cultivate their long-lost father-son relationship, so she got up under the pretext of touching up her makeup.

As soon as Libby left, Casper's smile froze instantly before disappearing completely.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to Athegate?" His attitude towards Miles was arrogant and contemptuous at this point.

"You kept Libby trapped in Athegate for almost four months. Can't I come see her?" Miles lowered his head and ate his food one bite at a time without looking at Casper's face.

"Is that all there is?" Casper knew that Miles was cunning. How could he suddenly act out after holding back for so long?

"What else can I do?" Miles slowly raised his head with a bleak look of sadness in his eyes.

Casper snorted coldly after glancing at him. "Since you're here anyway, we might as well keep playing our game. But if you want to tell Libby the truth, it's fine too. I'm not afraid of her leaving me because she knows your son is in my hands."

Miles' eyes darkened when he heard this statement while staring at Casper for a few moments before finally silently lowering his head again and eating whatever dish it was that had no taste whatsoever.

At this point, Libby returned, seeing that the atmosphere had improved significantly, which made her breathe easier once more.

That night, Casper sent both Mile sand Libby back to Nia's apartment and then simply left, taking everyone with him including the original guard who he assumed wouldn't let real-Casper get away from them. Miles appeared even more depressed once Casper left. Libby didn't expect their son would withdraw people but after they all left, she hurried over to her husband and asked,

"Miles, is there anything else you haven't told me today before Casper came?"

"What do you mean?"Miles' eyes were scattered as he said softly.

"Just... what did you want to say before Casper showed up?" Libby looked nervously at her husband. She felt like something big must have happened.

When Miles heard the name "Casper", his body trembled, and mixed emotions surged within him. He forced himself to calm down when he saw his wife's worried expression and blurted out,

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you were doing well. I was nervous because I didn't want Casper to worry about it."

"Really?" Libby was skeptical and asked, "What about what I said? Do you think our son really has some kind of problem?"

"I'll stay here for a while to observe him. I know what he's been doing in Athegate, and if he's determined to improve himself, it's inevitable that he'll resort to some dirty tricks. I'll test him for a while before making any decisions," Miles said in a deep voice.

"Are you staying too?" Libby immediately smiled and happily linked arms with her husband. "I've been so bored here alone, and Casper doesn't come very often. Now that you're here, it's great."

Listening to his wife's happy words, Miles felt even more troubled than before. But one idea had already formed clearly in his mind.
