She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091 Pretending to be Virtuous

After spending a few days together, Eloise had a general understanding of what kind of person Lauren was. When she heard Steve speak highly of him, she finally let go of her worries and was able to say goodbye to her daughter the next day with peace of mind.

Eve naturally felt sad about her parents leaving and Lauren accompanied her as they personally saw off the elderly couple on the high-speed train. Initially, Lauren had planned to book them plane tickets but Eloise was afraid so they decided against it. The two elders were not pretentious people and Lauren liked their simplicity.

So Steve and Eloise left, causing Eve to feel down for a day with thoughts constantly lingering in her mind about missing them dearly. Of course, Lauren would comfort Eve until he made her laugh again like a little flower blooming after being watered by raindrops.

However, Eve's mood only got worse from here on out as soon as Nia found out that their parents had only left the day before yesterday. Nia rushed over to the hotel upon hearing this news and when she saw Eve, she pretended to be sympathetic, "Oh no! Mom and dad have already left? I came all this way today just for them." Even though Eve never doubted how Nia treated her, Nia's fake sympathy towards their parents made Eve feel resentful towards Nia deep down inside.

"Wow, Nia, isn't it such a coincidence?" For the first time, Eve spoke sarcastically towards Nia, "Mom and Dad stayed here for an entire week, but you only show up after they leave?"

Nia froze at these words, staring at Eve with an icy expression. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing." Eve turned away from Nia.

When had anyone ever treated Nia like this before? An unnamed anger surged through her heart as she grabbed onto Eve's arm asking, "I'm your sister. What kind of attitude is that? Do you think I didn't want to see our parents when they were here too? But it's year-end now. Do you know how busy I am?" She deliberately sneered, "I almost forgot. You live here every day with Lauren, enjoying life without any worries. Whereas, I'm always afraid someone will frame me. I'm scared every single day. In the end, I still get suspected by my own sister?"

At first, Eve wavered slightly upon hearing these words. However, the moment Nia said that all she did was enjoy life while living with Lauren, Eve immediately became cold-hearted again. She turned around seriously looking at Nia saying, "Nia, you think all I do is enjoy life while being around Lauren?"

For once in awhile, Eve's eyes sharpened, making even Nia slightly intimidated. But, Nia was quick to react and disdainfully replied, "Isn't it true?"

Eve's mouth moved several times, but she didn't say anything. She just turned her head away from her sister again.

Reserved as she was, Eve kept her anger to herself.

Nia was angry too and didn't care about Eve's mood. When she saw that Eve had made up her mind to ignore her, Nia snorted and thought that Lauren had already promised to help get rid of Casper. There was no need to grovel at Eve like that. So she left the room without looking back and deliberately slammed the door shut behind her.

The heavy door closed, and Eve slowly turned around to look at it with a sadness in her eyes that couldn't be dispelled.

While Christmas and New Year's could be spent in the USA, traditional holidays had to be celebrated in their homeland. Suddenly Arthur's villa became lively as family members arrived one by one until they all gathered in Athegate for Davies family's annual ancestor worship ceremony. Even Helena came because she was engaged to Otis now.
