She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199 Sacrifice

"Don't waste your words. Lucia used to be mine. Today, I'm taking her with me. Arthur, make your choice. Do you want her to leave with me alive, or do you want her to die with me?" Jacob shouted hysterically.

It had to be said that Spencer's incident gave Jacob a deep insight. He knew that Lucia could never be let go. However, the emotionally charged Jacob did not notice that Arthur and Dan were slowly moving towards him at an imperceptible speed.

"Arthur, we've run out of options. It's time for a forceful approach," Jack whispered to Arthur from behind.

"What are the chances of rescuing Lucia safely?" Arthur asked.

Jack didn't answer.

Arthur furrowed his brow and stared intently at Jacob, while Lucia, who had been silently listening to their conversation, finally spoke up in a soft voice.

"Jacob, is it necessary for you to take this step? You know very well that there's no way you can escape from it..."

Jacob was not swayed by anyone's words, but Lucia was different. When he heard her voice, Jacob turned his head to look at her for a moment. During that moment, Arthur and Dan took the opportunity to move forward a bit more. The bodyguard had actually noticed their actions earlier, but strangely enough, he didn't alert Jacob. Perhaps it was because the person behind Arthur was staring at him or maybe he was afraid of getting killed himself.

Jacob suddenly sensed something and turned his head sharply. Even if he was slow to react, he had now noticed that Arthur and Dan were approaching him. The next moment, he swiftly pulled out the handgun hidden at his waist and pressed it against Lucia's head.

"Are you fucking daring to take one more step and see?!"

Upon hearing these words, Arthur immediately froze in place. His facial expression seemed to have solidified as he lifted his head and suddenly caught sight of Lucia being held hostage by Jacob. She gave him a slight nod with her starry eyes filled with unwavering determination, which Dan also noticed.

Dan glanced at Arthur, and at the same time, Arthur also looked at him with understanding. The two men who both deeply loved Lucia instantly understood each other's intentions through their eyes. Dan used a determined gaze to tell Arthur that two meters of distance was already enough.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Not just Arthur and Dan, but everyone ran towards Jacob and Lucia. However, even though they were fast, they couldn't catch up to Jacob who was standing next to Lucia. In that split second when Jacob realized what was happening, he still managed to grab Lucia's elbow with all his might as they both fell backwards in a state of helplessness.

However, Arthur and Dan, who were very close to them, had already agilely charged forward. Arthur lunged directly towards Lucia, exerting all his strength to hook her elbow. Meanwhile, Jacob was on the other side, and Dan's target was Jacob. Dan had intended to rush forward and subdue Jacob first, but the steep edge of the cliff proved challenging. The collision between the three of them was uncontrollable due to their momentum. In an instant, the situation formed where Arthur had hooked Lucia, Lucia was being held by Jacob, and Dan was lunging at Jacob.
