She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 128

When Eduard was thinking about how to call Lucia, Lucia looked up and saw Eduard who had walked to the sofa.

She raised her eyebrows and stood up, saying, "I'm sorry, Eduard. I didn't notice you coming in."

"Never mind. I snuck in on purpose." Eduard gave Lucia a signature smile and looked both gentlemanly and boyish.

He sat down on the sofa and said to Lucia, "Lucia, come here and have a chat."

Lucia walked over and sat down next to Eduard.

She didn't disguise herself, so Eduard could see her frustration and uneasiness at a glance.

Eduard was happy because it meant that she was willing to be her true self in front of him. It was a good thing for him.

"What happened between you and Arthur?" Staring at Lucia's pretty side face for a while, Eduard cut to the chase.

"We broke up," Lucia replied in a calm voice. There was no need to hide it.

"Broke up?" Eduard was surprised.

Lucia nodded.

"Why?" Eduard asked in disbelief.

Arthur hadn't had any affairs for so many years. After falling in love with Lucia, he held a press conference to announce her identity. Everyone could see that he was very serious. But why did they break up?

"Eduard, I always want to ask you one thing. What happened after Juliana and I left that night?" Lucia didn't answer his question but raised a new one.

"That night? The charity event?" Eduard asked.

"Yep." Lucia nodded firmly.

"Well..." Eduard recalled it and said, "You went to the lady's room with Juliana but didn't come back after a long time. When I was about to look for you, Juliana appeared and told me that you were drunk and resting in the hotel room. She needed me to help send you home, but when we went to the room, there was no one inside and you were not there. Then we went to look for you separately."

"Really?" Lucia smiled. As expected, Juliana was pretending to be innocent.

So, Juliana should be the one that spiked the warm water with hallucinogens

Juliana wanted to drink warm water but required her to drink it to test the water temperature. It was so absurd. But she didn't suspect Juliana at all at that time.

"Well, where did you go that night? I asked you before, but you didn't tell me." Eduard asked Lucia anxiously when he thought of it.

Eduard was the witness to the incident. Lucia felt that there was no need to hide it from him, so she answered bluntly, "I was drugged. Jacob saved me, and I stayed in the hospital for three days and almost died from an overdose of hallucinogens. I owe Jacob a favor for this."

"What?" Eduard was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "You were drugged with hallucinogens?"
