She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 129

"If she wasn't merciless enough, she wouldn't have set me up and kicked me out of Webbex Group. I have targeted Jacob since I came back, now it comes to my mind that Poppy is more ruthless than him."

Lucia was too careless. It was not that she hadn't noticed anything wrong with Juliana's attitude toward her. She chose to let it slide because of her trust in Arthur.

"She uses Juliana to break up you and Arthur and makes you helpless and unable to fight against JTP Group anymore. How brilliant her plan is!" Eduard said sarcastically.

"Unfortunately, she has never thought that I have never used Arthur. Even if I break up with Arthur, I will not change my mind to regain Webbex Group!" Her pretty eyes sparkled with determination. Lucia was still that tough and independent woman.

Eduard looked at Lucia with admiration. He had known that Lucia wouldn't get stuck in a dilemma, but...

"But you must be very sad..." Eduard said with concern.

The light in Lucia's eyes dimmed.

She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's not the first time I've been hurt. I can hold on and get over it!"

"Silly girl!" Eduard felt distressed when Lucia faked being tough. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Albeit in a cold voice, he said nice and warm words, "Just pour out your grievance! I'm listening!"

Lucia couldn't deny that it was the feeling of being cared for. And the tears that she tried hard to hold back for the whole day trickled down her cheeks.

"Why doesn't he trust me?" Lucia buried her face in Eduard's shoulder, crying out her grievance.

"He is an idiot!" Eduard cursed. He heard Lucia crying. He found that he really fell in love with her.

"Yes, he is an idiot!" echoed Lucia, to vent her anger. Somehow, Lucia stopped crying.

"Thank you, Eduard." Taking comfort from her friend, she got much better.

When she calmed down, she sat up straight, wiped her tears, and thanked Eduard.

"My pleasure." Seeing Lucia look better, Eduard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He got the feeling of loss after Lucia disengaged herself from his arms. But he suppressed it and smiled. "It's much better to vent out your feelings, right?"

"Sure." Lucia smiled and nodded at Eduard.

"If you need any help, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay?" Eduard said to Lucia.

"Got it." Lucia nodded with a smile. It was not a bitter smile but a grateful one.

Looking at the smile on Lucia's face, Eduard found that she was really good at captivating him.

He blurted out, "Lucia, you know I like you, don't you?"

The smile on Lucia's face froze and she stopped.

Realizing he spoke his mind, Eduard smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry to scare you. I just want you to know that Arthur is not the only good man in the world."
