She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1185

Chapter 1185 Are You Mute?

When Spencer kidnapped Lucia, Arthur was in a state of despair that Kane still remembered vividly. But as long as Arthur can pull himself together, it was better than anything else.

"Don't worry about Lucia's safety. Especially now that Jacob doesn't have the advantage over her," Kane reassured him. If it weren't for Spencer kidnapping their daughter at that time, Lucia wouldn't be in this situation.

Arthur nodded his head. It was precisely because of this that he hadn't gone crazy yet.

As they spoke, Kyle sat in the passenger seat and turned around to say, "Mr. Davies, everything is ready and we can move in the morning."

Arthur nodded again and looked out at the starry sky as if searching for a star shining as brightly as Lucia's eyes.

At midnight, Miles sat in the living room unable to sleep even though his wife was in their bedroom. After stabilizing StandHill today, Miles had reported to relevant departments and could issue an arrest warrant for Jacob once someone identified Casper as him. But right now Arthur was still busy so all he could do was wait for news.

During his restless moments, Miles suddenly received a phone call. After a brief conversation, his expression turned serious, and he stood up, walking to the room to tell Libby that he had something to attend to. Concerned, Libby asked him what happened, but Miles reassured her and left with a few of his men.

Left alone in the room, Libby felt uneasy and after contemplating for a while, she mustered the courage to call Arthur.

Arthur informed Libby about the latest developments, but she still couldn't help but express her worries, asking, "Mr. Davies, are you really sure about this?"

His gaze darkened, as Libby's question struck a chord deep within him. Arthur was adept at strategizing in the business world, commanding influence and power, but when it came to matters concerning Lucia, he found himself burdened with numerous hesitations. Each decision required prolonged contemplation, and he dared not act rashly because he cared deeply and, at the same time, feared the consequences.

After not hearing any response from him, Libby felt guilty again but didn't know how else she could express herself.

After being silent for some time, Arthur finally said, "Mrs. Wood, there is no need feel ashamed. Lucia knows what she's doing."

"But ultimately it's because of me..." Libby kept taking responsibility upon herself hoping to alleviate her guilt.

"Mrs. Wood, let us not discuss this matter any further. There will be answers tomorrow so please rest early," said Arthur curtly before hanging up since hearing more would only make her more restless.

After Arthur hung up the phone, his face remained calm but his eyes were even more melancholy than before. Kane couldn't help but sigh and say, "I hope everything goes smoothly. Otherwise, many people will live with regret..."

Including himself, Miles, Libby and everyone else.

Kane never relied on prayer for hope, but now he was devoutly praying.

"Speed up!" Just as Kane worried about Arthur's low mood, he suddenly looked up and ordered the driver to go faster. His eyes were not filled with despair but rather with the same hope and determination as him.

Arthur's gaze inspired Kane inexplicably. He slapped Arthur's shoulder vigorously and exclaimed, "Don't think so much! Let's rescue Lucia and go home!"

Arthur nodded heavily then clenched his fist tightly before releasing it again. "Lucia... wait for me!"

Lucia had no idea how long she had been sitting there until she noticed that the light in the cabin was slowly brightening. It must be almost morning by now. She wondered how frantic Arthur must be feeling right now? Had he found her bracelet? Did he know which direction Jacob escaped?
