She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149 Mocking in Unison

After Arthur and Lucia walked away, Juliana pulled Kane over and asked him with a slight frown, "Arthur, why did you act as a mediator when Casper and Nia were about to argue just now? Isn't it better to let them fight it out?"

Juliana didn't think it was necessary for Arthur to intervene.

Arthur smiled lightly but remained silent while holding onto Lucia.

Kane glanced at Arthur before turning to his wife and saying, "Juliana, both Casper and Nia came here tonight with a purpose. One wants to show dominance over the other while the other wants to embarrass their opponent. By letting them argue without declaring a winner or loser, Arthur is actually fueling their resentment towards each other. Who knows what might happen later on? This is how Arthur handles things. Besides..."

Kane trailed off after giving Juliana a meaningful look. She followed his gaze only to see that Lucia's face had darkened slightly as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"The closer we get to the critical moment," Kane continued speaking softly, "the more easily Lucia's emotions fluctuate. I'm the same way."

To be honest, if he hadn't weighed his options carefully beforehand, he would have killed Casper himself by now - not just for Poppy's sake but also because of his own anger issues.

Lucia gave Kane a bitter smile in response since what he said was exactly how she felt right now.

"Don't worry too much about it," Juliana comforted her gently. "With Arthur by your side and us supporting you all the way through this ordeal... he won't be able to escape from justice."

Arthur nodded in agreement while offering comforting words of his own, "I'm here."

Lucia smiled back at him gratefully. Yes, indeed he was there for her when she needed him most.

As expected by Arthur earlier on during their conversation together, neither Casper nor Nia could claim victory after arguing with each other just now. It left both parties feeling resentful towards one another especially since Nia kept badmouthing Casper behind his back whenever possible throughout the night so far.

Casper didn't need anyone else's help though since he already had plenty of supporters who were willing enough to defend him against any accusations made against him no matter how baseless they may seem at times. This went on for an hour or so until eventually everyone who interacted with either group heard some version of their respective grievances, which only added fuel onto an already raging fire between these two opposing factions.

"Nia," one of her friends kindly suggested after seeing that things weren't going anywhere productive anytime soon between these two groups anymore. "I don't think fighting like this will solve anything between you guys."

"You're both evenly matched," they continued diplomatically, "so continuing down this path will only lead both sides into further ruin."

"Nia, you should listen to Kevin. If you slip up, I really won't hold back."

Nia's face twisted in displeasure. "Evenly matched? Casper is just relying on his family's power. Without the support of the Wood family, what is he?"

"But he happens to be the Wood family's son," another friend said. "When Stable Growth was taken away before, we thought you had no way out. It's not easy to make a comeback now. If you want to reconcile with him, we can help."

"The Wood family's son? He doesn't deserve it!" Nia said angrily.

As soon as she spoke, someone asked what she meant. Kevin noticed Nia misspoke and immediately explained to everyone,

"Nia is just upset right now. We will consider everyone's good intentions but Casper is cunning and vengeful. Even if we are willing to reconcile with him, he may not be willing himself. We're currently standing our ground and there will be justice in the end for who is right or wrong."

"Guys, Nia's not feeling well. I'm going with her to get some air, and I'll be back with you later."
