She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174 Layout

Today, the atmosphere at StandHill Investment Company was unusually tense. Every employee was careful and diligent in their work, not daring to make any mistakes. Everyone knew that this was the first time the company had held such a grand shareholder meeting since its establishment, and even a small mistake would be magnified today.

Casper arrived at the company at 8am and immediately called a meeting with several high-level executives in his office. Naturally, no one dared to disturb them. Miles, as the father of the CEO, also arrived at 9:10am but did not meet with Casper. Instead, he wandered around the company as usual. With his presence looming over them, employees were even more cautious.

Sage had been hovering around near the company all morning. The upcoming event made him extremely nervous and eager to participate. However, Casper explicitly instructed him to monitor Nia and Kevin's every move instead of joining in on what was happening inside StandHill itself. Although Sage wanted to enter the building while Arthur's group hadn't yet arrived, he didn't dare act recklessly without knowing what might happen next.

Nia and Kevin also received Arthur's notification last night, asking them to be at StandHill's underground parking lot at 10 o'clock sharp. Nia and Kevin had already become disloyal and knew that there would be a reversal later. Of course, they wanted to stay away from this troublesome place. However, with Jack and the others present, they didn't dare to disobey and could only reluctantly set off at 9 o'clock. As soon as they arrived at the underground parking lot, Jack instructed them to stay put and then, without hesitation, the four of them quickly left.

In the car ride over there though, Nia kept shifting positions uncomfortably but nothing seemed comfortable enough for her liking.

"Kevin," she said finally breaking her silence after some time passed between then, "Do you think Casper will expose us?"

"No, with Arthur's strategies, he knows that his identity will be exposed today, and the only thing he can do is to make a desperate move. So, he won't target us. All his attention will be on Lucia," Kevin affirmed.

"That's good then," sighed Nia relievedly while rubbing her chest gently, "I'm just worried about what happens if he does find out though... Arthur won't let us off easy."

"Hmph," snorted Kevin coldly, "We both know how ruthless Casper can be when push comes shove, but once he succeeds today, then we'll have nothing left worry about anymore except reaping rewards."

"I hope so," Nia replied, not as confident as Kevin. She knew Arthur's abilities all too well. That man was not only incredibly intelligent but also seemed to have the favor of luck on his side. His fortune always surpassed others', even managing to overcome the trap set by Spencer. Nia could only hope that Casper would have better luck than Arthur.

While Nia and Kevin were talking, Jack and his team had already infiltrated StandHill. Despite the bustling activity of employees, they were able to silently hide their tracks and ambush near the conference room according to their original plan.

Meanwhile, Arthur had gathered his team. Kyle was dressed in a rare suit today, even taking off his glasses. He looked quite fierce compared to his usual gentle demeanor.

"Mr. Davies, everyone is here," Kyle said seriously without any disrespect.

Arthur nodded and began to deploy the team, "As soon as you enter StandHill, you need to quickly subdue Casper's men and security personnel. Ethan will lead five people with me and Kyle directly to the conference room. Remember, no matter what happens, your top priority is ensuring Lucia's safety!"

Everyone knew what Lucia meant to Arthur. They all responded loudly with a promise of completing the mission.

With the preparations completed, at half-past 9, Arthur led the team, and the convoy set off from the Branch of Davonnis, proceeding towards StandHill in an orderly manner.

Lucia arrived at StandHill when Arthur left. Gracie was already waiting for her at the gate holding files alone.
