She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161 Showdown

Arthur's lips curled slightly, a cold light flickered in his eyes as he slowly turned to Kevin and asked in a low voice, "Kevin, do you know how many times you've threatened me since you walked in here?"

Kevin's heart skipped a beat. He had no doubt that Arthur was already angry. But he said, "Mr. Davies, we have no other choice. If Nia and I had any other way out of this situation, we wouldn't be bothering you. But we're really at our wit's end now. Please help us out of the kindness of your heart."

Arthur sneered at his words and said, "What kindness? What kind of relationship do we have?"

Kevin lowered his head and thought for a moment before turning to look at Nia instead of answering immediately.

Nia was confused for a moment and didn't understand what Kevin meant until he spoke up again, "Nia, why don't we just tell everyone about our relationship with Eve's boyfriend?" It finally dawned on Nia that Kevin wanted to use Lauren's connections even though she didn't want to go that far.

"Mr. Davies," Nia said to Arthur," Do you know Lauren Osade?"

"Lauren? Which Lauren?" Arthur pretended not to know.

"Lauren Osade!" Nia emphasized the name heavily hoping for an astonished reaction from Arthur but she was disappointed.

"Oh him," Arthur chuckled lightly as if it were nothing important. "Didn't he accompany your sister to the USA for treatment?"

Hearing this news made both Nia and Kevin stunned beyond belief. Their expressions were identical - both bewildered and shocked - as if they couldn't believe that even Arthur knew about it!

Lucia looked at their dumbfounded faces with amusement and found it hilarious! She hadn't intended on speaking up but couldn't resist mocking them, "What? Did you think we didn't know that Lauren came over early? You think nobody knows about what happened between him and your sister or how much y'all used him? There's nothing happening within Athegate which can be hidden from me or Arthur especially when it comes down on y'all!"

After she heard Lucia's words, Nia's face turned pale like all her secrets had been exposed publicly without any privacy left whatsoever!

Lucia sneered again saying, "You dare talk about 'kindness' after hurting your own sister so badly! I pity her more than anything else! And yet, you still expect anyone else will show mercy towards y'all?"

This sentence was Lucia venting her anger towards Eve who'd been suffering because of them all along!

"How could..."Nia muttered unconsciously. She couldn't understand why Lucia and Arthur knew everything when they never mentioned anything before, and neither did Lauren ever bring up anything related to their secret dealings!

At this moment, Kevin's face also looked ashen and some thoughts floated in his mind, making it impossible for him to even lift his head.

"How could?" Arthur said calmly, "If it weren't for Lauren and your sister, do you think you could have been saved time and time again?"

Sure enough! Kevin hoarsely uttered, "Could it be that the previous incident..."

"Exactly," Arthur said, "Lauren has an impressive background and strong capabilities, but Athegate is unfamiliar territory for him. Do you think he could have organized personnel and resources to save you repeatedly in such a short time without our intervention?"

"Let me add something," Lucia continued without any hesitation. "Even the small villa you're currently living in belongs to me. You may think that you've been acting very discreetly, but everything is under the control of Arthur and me. If it weren't for Eve pleading on your behalf time and time again, Nia, you wouldn't be alive today!"

Nia felt her face burning fiercely and abnormal flushes appearing on her cheeks upon hearing this.
