She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184 Layer by Layer Analysis

Kane, Jack and the other bodyguards began searching the area with flashlights. Arthur leaned against the car, deep in thought. Generally speaking, cruise ships wouldn't dock in such a remote location, especially at night. It was most likely a private work boat. But what kind of boat was it?

Just as Arthur was pondering this question, Nick suddenly shouted from the riverbank, "Mr. Davies! I found something! Come see if it's Lucia's!"

Arthur rushed over to check it out, and everyone else followed suit. Nick handed him a string of bracelets he had found in the grass.

"Mr. Davies, is this Lucia's?" he asked.

"Yes," replied Arthur without hesitation. It was Lucia's custom-made moon-heart bracelet. He would never mistake it for anything else.

After examining it closely for a moment longer, he added, "The clasp on this bracelet is undone - not broken - which means that Lucia took it off herself and left it here to let us know she had been here."

Everyone turned their heads toward the dark river surface at once. If Lucia had been here, then she must have boarded a ship... but what kind of ship?

Kane furrowed his brow and voiced his doubts aloud, "Then what kind of ship did she board?"

Suddenly struck by inspiration, Arthur immediately called up an influential local figure for help in checking on local work boats' routes. If they were registered properly, then their daily routes would have to be reported to relevant authorities.

Arthur's connection was of course useful. Within fifteen minutes, the dignitary sent back the news that only one dredging ship would pass by tonight, and sent him the ship code. Arthur thanked him after hanging up the phone and asked Jack to observe the position of the locator again, and made a decision after analysis.

"This river eventually flows into the Orient Ocean. If I'm not mistaken, Jacob's destination is a coastal port. We'll drive along the river, and Kyle will make sure that there are boats waiting for us at our destination six hours from now. Everyone, get in the car!" Arthur promised Lucia that he would rescue her within twelve hours and he would not break that promise. However, the deadline was strict, and he must bring her back once the twelve hours were up.

With Arthur's command, everyone took their positions. The convoy roared to life once again, heading into the dark night.

The stars were shining brightly tonight. Inside the hotel, Nia felt a sense of peace she hadn't experienced in a long time, even though she no longer had the protection of Jack and the others.

"Do you think they've caught up with Lucia by now? Maybe someone got hurt or even killed in the confrontation, and then our goal would be achieved!" Nia was exceptionally excited, and even after getting into bed, she kept talking to Kevin.

"I don't hope Arthur catches up with them. Do you think Arthur is weak? With Jack and the others, there's a 90% chance they can successfully rescue Lucia," Kevin wasn't as optimistic as Nia.

Nia's excitement dissipated by half upon hearing this, and she languidly said, "Well, I actually hope Jacob can really take Lucia away, the farther the better!"

"This is not safe either. Think about what kind of person Lucia is. Even if Jacob takes her to the ends of the earth, she will find a way back to Arthur. And if Jacob can only keep her trapped for a while, how could he keep her trapped forever?" Kevin became more and more worried as he thought about it.

Nia felt speechless and complained, "Didn't you say this method was good? Now everything is going wrong."

"Nia, do you want to leave here?" Kevin suddenly turned his head and looked at Nia seriously, asking.
