She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162 Consuming Family Ties

Eve was thousands of miles away, staring at her vibrating phone with a worried expression. Her sister hadn't contacted her in months and had never shown any concern for her. Now that she was calling, it was almost certain that she needed help with something.

"If you want to answer, then answer. If not, just turn off your phone," Lauren said coldly to Eve as she struggled with the decision.

Eve gave Lauren a resentful look and sighed before finally pressing the answer button.

Before Eve could say anything, she heard her sister's familiar and anxious voice on the other end of the line, "Eve! You finally answered! How are you feeling? Are you adjusting well in the USA? How is your treatment going? Do you need me to come give you blood?"

The string of questions sounded so caring but Eve knew they were all fake.

"What do you want?" Eve asked in a low voice without any enthusiasm.

"I just wanted to know how you're doing. It's been so long since we talked," Nia lied effortlessly.

"What's really going on?" Eve asked again without responding to Nia's false concern.

Nia fell silent for a while before speaking again in a colder tone, "Eve, do you know what happened two nights ago? Casper sent people to assassinate Kevin and me again. If it weren't for patrolling police officers passing by at that time, maybe what I'm telling now would be news of my death."

"Oh," Eve replied casually which triggered an intense reaction from Nia.

"'Oh'? What does 'oh' mean?! I almost died! Is this how my sister reacts?" Nia got angry and forgot how she should face Eve properly once again.

"What else can I say? Before leaving, I already warned you but if you didn't listen, then why don't just stay away from him since he is such dangerous person?"

"I didn't provoke him!" Nia tried desperately to defend herself, "He won't leave me alone! Can't watch me die like this right?"

How much did Eve wish that she could say "no".

"Also," thinking that Eve's silence indicated guilt, Nia became even more assertive, "You've known Lucia for a long time, haven't you? I know it now! You've been hiding it from me all along, Eve, do you even consider my feelings? When I went to find her today, I was exposed right in front of her. Do you know how embarrassed I felt?"

"You should thank her. She and Arthur have saved you many times," Eve replied coldly.

"Arthur?" As soon as Nia heard Eve referring to Arthur like that, jealousy surged within her. She had spent so much time trying to curry favor with him, but Eve effortlessly gained the favor of Lucia and Arthur, as well as the support of Lauren. Nia momentarily forgot the purpose of her call, and she sarcastically remarked, "Eve, you're doing pretty well for yourself, even addressing him as 'Arthur.' I never knew you had such cunning!"

Eve really wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but she needed to speak up for herself. This was what Lucia and Arthur taught her!

"The friendship among Lucia, Arthur and me has never been about cunning. It's genuine," Eve asserted.

"Genuine? Don't fool me..." Nia didn't finish her sentence as she heard Kevin's low voice beside her.
