She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073 Relieving the Mind

"Julia, did you receive a response regarding the medical records I gave you last time?"

"Yes, but there is no accurate answer yet," Juliana said over the phone. "The professor is very interested in Eve's condition, especially since her blood type is so unique. He's already working with his assistants and students to research treatment plans. I believe we'll have results soon."

"That's good news..." Lucia was still somewhat disappointed.

Hearing Lucia's disappointment, Juliana immediately asked, "Did something happen to Eve?"

"She hasn't had any issues, but Nia keeps pressuring us more and more while Lauren becomes increasingly troubled. If we can resolve her condition quickly, it would benefit everyone," Lucia worriedly said.

"Okay then, I'll remind the professor again. I'm sure they will do their best," Juliana empathized.

Lucia was about to thank her when she heard a knock on the door followed by Kane walking in. She smiled slightly and deliberately eased the tension by saying to Kane,

"You two are telepathic! I am just talking to Julia."

"Really?" Kane smiled and walked over.

Juliana on the phone also said, "Kane came? You guys talk first; I'll hang up."

"Okay," Lucia replied before putting away her phone.

Kane walked over to Lucia and said,

"Casper somehow managed to bribe some of Nia's business partners recently; they're planning on joining forces with him to hold Stable Growth responsible for breach of contract soon. Should we intervene?"

If she hadn't received Lauren's call today, maybe Lucia wouldn't care much about it and say let them do whatever they want but now...

"Stable Growth now belongs under Webbex Group; just step in a bit so things don't escalate too much," she told Kane as she made up her mind after hearing Lauren's call earlier that day.

After hearing Lucia's decision-making process, Kane was surprised because he only reported Stable Growth's actions along with StandHill without expecting Lucia would actually decide that they should help out Stable Growth themselves.

"Lucia, what happened? This isn't your style," he asked curiously.

Lucia chuckled inwardly at herself - this really wasn't like her style - but it was something that needed doing.

"It's nothing; just go ahead with what you were going to do," she quietly denied his guesswork.

Kane looked at Lucia for a few seconds knowing full well that there must be some concern or hesitation behind this decision from Lucia, but didn't delve deeper into it before leaving for work.

That night after dinner, Lucia hesitated for a long time before telling Arthur about Lauren calling earlier today along with confessing everything else including giving orders towards helping out Stable Growth instead of delegating tasks elsewhere like usual.

Arthur picked up the remote control and turned off the financial news playing on the screen. He then turned to Lucia and said,

"No wonder you have no appetite tonight. It turns out something like this happened."

"To be honest, it's not just Lauren who is disappointed in Eve. I also feel very disappointed. I placed too much importance on her sense of justice and didn't expect her to succumb to Nia's instigation in the end," Lucia said, looking down with a hint of resentment towards Eve in her words.

"Lauren has a sense of proportion in doing things," Arthur wasn't so worried. He raised his hand and gently wiped Lucia's cheek, smiling lightly,

"He is just using delaying tactics."

"Are you sure?" Lucia lifted her gaze, and a faint glimmer appeared in her eyes.
