She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 Suspicious Behavior

Before the two sides could even face off, the shareholders saw Jacob pull out a gun and someone yelled out "gun"! Chaos erupted as everyone scrambled to escape, chairs were knocked over and the crowd rushing out coincided with Arthur and his group just arriving. Arthur had to clear a path to get into the meeting room.

As soon as they entered, Arthur saw Lucia being held at gunpoint by Jacob. But he didn't react as expected. Instead, he stared straight at Lucia with unreadable emotions in his eyes.

Lucia remained calm until she caught sight of Arthur. Her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes became moist, almost like she was about to cry.

Kane, who was standing next to Arthur, felt a lump in his throat when he saw what was happening before him. This was exactly what he feared most!

"Arthur," Jacob sneered when he noticed their eye contact. "Aren't you a little late?"

Arthur's gaze turned sharp as a sword when it landed on Jacob's face.

Miles had been waiting for an opportunity to rescue Lucia and finally spotted Libby standing next to Arthur. He couldn't believe it. Why was she here?

"Miles, I'm sorry... Ms. Webb…… I'm sorry..."

Upon hearing Libby's words and seeing Lucia being held hostage by Jacob, Miles immediately understood what had happened. He realized why Jacob had been so cautious and prepared for this situation. Miles sighed in distress and said, "Libby, you've made a huge mistake!"

Libby sobbed apologetically while clutching her chest, "If I didn't tell him, I knew he would kill you... Casper is gone now but I can't lose you too."

"That doesn't change the fact that you can't do it either!" Miles didn't know what else to say. If something happened to Lucia, how would he face Arthur?!

Libby sobbed and lowered her head in remorse. Earlier in the morning, she had been restless at home and rushed to the company driven by her guilty conscience to inform Arthur of the truth, which led to their early intrusion. Unfortunately, they were still a step behind.

"Enough!" Jacob had little patience. He coldly shouted, "Stop this melodrama. Arthur, you've lost."

In Jacob's eyes, catching Lucia meant he had won, even if it meant losing everything!

Arthur remained silent, staring coldly at the smug Jacob. His reaction left everyone puzzled, even Jack couldn't help but ask,

"Mr. Davies, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and find a way to save Lucia!"

Arthur furrowed his brow, but still remained silent.

"He has no way out," Jacob thought he had seen through Arthur's mind and felt even more proud, "Lucia is in my hands. Do you think he dares to move?"

"Mr. Davies!" Victor shouted anxiously. He was confident that with their abilities, they could rescue Lucia as long as Arthur was willing to take the risk.

"You can't escape anymore," Arthur finally spoke, but his voice was calm enough to make it seem like he had no worries or nervousness.

"Can't escape?" Jacob laughed. "I've already seen through your plan. Do you think I'm stupid enough to surrender? Lucia used to be my woman, and now I'm just taking her back. Arthur, you have no chance anymore."
