She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1119

Chapter 1119 Facing Cruelty Directly

From Lucia and Eve's point of view, one of them can be seen lashing something to the ground with a whip, every time there will be a dull sound. It sounded frightening.

Afraid of that voice, Eve unconsciously clutched Lucia's arm tightly, her five fingers sinking into her delicate skin. Lucia didn't care, but Arthur, who saw this scene in his eyes, was not happy.

Taking a step back, Arthur reminded Eve in a deep voice,

"You're hurting her."

Eve looked down and realized that she had left fingerprints on Lucia's arm. She quickly let go and apologized nervously,

"Sorry, Ms. Webb, it was not intentional!"

Lucia rolled her eyes at Arthur, "Am I really that delicate?"

"It's okay. I'm not in pain," Lucia comforted Eve with a smile, but she couldn't calm down her guilty emotions.

Just as the group was talking, the men in the courtyard heard their voices and looked over with suspicion. After seeing Arthur and his companions, one of them walked to a corner and soon after, Lauren emerged.

Lauren had been waiting for Arthur, but when he saw Eve standing next to Lucia, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Eve?!

"Make him dizzy first." Ignoring Lauren's angry eyes, Arthur said to him lightly.

Lauren glared and shouted something in Spanish towards the courtyard, followed by a dull thud. After that, everything returned to calmness.

"Why bring Eve here?!" Lauren shouted angrily. He was used to doing this kind of thing, but he didn't want Eve to see him like this!

"Flowers that are raised in a greenhouse will never grow big. She should be bold and clear about the consequences of her requests," Arthur's voice remained calm, unaffected by Lauren's anger.

"Arthur!" Lauren gritted his teeth, about to curse again when he saw Eve's pale face, full of fear, looking at him. His heart suddenly felt dull and painful.

Lucia was afraid that Lauren and Arthur would argue, so she patted Eve's arm to comfort her and then walked towards Lauren.

Passing Arthur, and walking forward, they could already see the man lying on the ground. Lucia wanted him dead more than anyone else, and she could restrain this hatred more than anyone else.

"Lauren," Lucia withdrew her gaze and looked at Lauren seriously.

"I don't quite agree with Arthur's approach, but I have to agree with his reasoning. Your identity is special and your background is complicated. One day Eve must accept this fact. Instead of constantly avoiding it, it is better to let her grow by herself, or how can she stay by your side, let alone share the wind and frost."

Lauren listened quietly to Lucia's words. He understood what Lucia was saying, but with Eve being so fragile and innocent, he didn't want her to see the dark side of humanity or his own true self.

From a young age, Lauren's hands were stained with blood. He was never a good person.

"Let her grow up on her own and let her realize the consequences of the decisions she makes." Lucia added as she saw Lauren lost in thought.
