She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167 Leaking Secrets

Noticing Nia's subconscious reaction, Casper laughed and put his arm heavily on her shoulder, leaning closer to her ear and saying, "So you're still afraid of me?" Sweat beads formed on Nia's forehead as she felt like Casper was a poisonous snake whispering in her ear. But she couldn't back down now; she had prepared herself mentally when sneaking out tonight.

Taking a deep breath quietly, Nia forced herself to turn and face Casper with a playful look in her eyes. "Aren't you curious why I asked you out?" she asked.

"Of course," Casper replied eagerly. "Why else would I come? So spill it. What kind of scheme do you and Kevin have this time?"

At least Casper's response gave Nia some confidence. She faced his cold gaze with a mischievous smile and said, "Even though Kevin and I betrayed you, there were reasons behind it. We were forced to side with someone else, and we couldn't...."

"Cut the crap!" Casper interrupted impatiently. He had seen too many people use this kind of emotional manipulation before; he wasn't going to fall for it again.

"What is it then?" he demanded.

"Arthur and Lucia might be coming after you soon," Nia blurted out the main point in panic at being cut off so abruptly.

Casper narrowed his eyes coldly at Nia upon hearing this news. There was no expression on his face except for that piercing gaze that made people feel uneasy.

Nia could hold eye contact with him earlier but as time passed by, every second seemed like an eternity under his stare that made her scalp tingle uncontrollably. She started explaining anxiously, "We have concrete evidence! Arthur brought Jack back to protect us. They're all mercenaries who wouldn't be used unless there was something big going down... and the only person who poses any threat to Lucia right now is you!"

Casper pursed his lips into a thin line but didn't say anything yet while continuing staring at Nia intently.

Nia became increasingly anxious. Although she resented Casper intensely, her fear remained the foundation of this hatred. Seeing him silent, Nia couldn't help but continue speaking, eager to make him believe her.

"And when I was in contact with Miles and Libby before, I noticed that they had already suspected your identity. They just didn't say anything. Who knows, maybe they have already formed an alliance with Arthur and are planning to take action against you."

The last sentence was purely a guess, but unintentionally, she hit the mark.

Casper still didn't speak, his gaze piercing and unsettling. Nia clenched her fists, trembling as she asked, "What's the matter? Don't you believe me? Haven't you ever doubted yourself?"

Casper suddenly curled his lips, drawing Nia closer and tighter to his side with his hand on her shoulder. He smiled and asked, "Those things are not important now. What I'm most curious about is why you're telling me all this. Didn't you want me dead?"

Casper had not forgotten the humiliation he suffered when he was kidnapped by Lauren that day.

Nia's lips twitched, but no sound came out. If she admitted it, she probably wouldn't be able to leave the private room tonight. She changed her words and said,
