She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172 Patiently Persuading

Libby sat on the couch with a grimace, feeling uneasy. Meanwhile, Casper strolled back to his desk and calmly waited for her response.

Although he was waiting, Casper didn't give Libby too much time. Less than ten minutes later, he stood up again and stared at her from afar.

"Have you thought it over?"

Libby looked at him blankly. Did she have any other choice?

As the day of the final showdown approached, even Arthur had to be cautious and keep in touch with Jack and other subordinates who were involved in the operation. Even Juliana called Lucia to remind her to be careful. Kane had gone upstairs a few times without anything important just to see Lucia.

"Kane... I just hung up with Juliana," Lucia said helplessly as she laughed bitterly at how well this couple understood each other.

"I come up and see," Kane said for the fourth time now without hiding his intentions as he sat down on the couch directly across from Lucia. That night after their party, he explained Arthur's concerns about Jacob on their way home; no wonder she was worried too.

"Tomorrow is a big day for all of us. Why are you all focusing your attention on me?" Lucia got up and asked helplessly as she came over to sit across from Kane.

Kane looked at Lucia with mixed emotions. There were things that he wanted to say but knew they would distract her if spoken aloud so he felt conflicted.

"If everything goes according to plan tomorrow," Kane said seriously while clenching his fists tightly, "Jacob will be caught, and we will finally settle all our past grievances."

"Mm-hmm." A slight movement of eyebrows showed that Lucia agreed lightly but she didn't look back into Kane's eyes when responding.

"I know you had feelings for him back then," Kane hesitated for a moment, but then thought it was best to be honest, "As we approach this critical moment, don't let past emotions cloud your judgment."

"Do you think I would still show mercy to him?" Lucia couldn't help but laugh at Kane's words, finding them amusing.

"No, that's not what I meant," Kane shook his head, "It's just that your hatred for him is different from others. I'm afraid you might not be able to resist confronting him, trying to clarify things. If he turns the tables on you, it will put us, and especially Arthur, in a difficult position."

Lucia's smile gradually faded away as her eyes became heavy with emotion - burning like an intermittent flame.

Kane knew exactly what was going through her mind - far too well...

"Lucia, nothing in the past matters, especially since that was just Jacob's disguise. You don't need to worry about why he did what he did," Kane spoke each word carefully, hoping she would listen to him.

"What about Poppy?" Lucia suddenly brought up Poppy without any context.

Kane was taken aback.

"Do you also want to know why he had to put Poppy in harm's way... how could he be so heartless?" Lucia continued.

Kane couldn't argue with her. Indeed, those were the questions that weighed heavily on his mind as well when it came to Jacob.
