She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 16

Jacob's scream had drawn everyone's attention in the cafe.

Jacob!

Lucia turned around with her eyes blazing with anger.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Jacob snorted when seeing Lucia pissed off.

"Jacob," Lucia took a step forward, stared at Jacob without a blink, and said in a deep voice, "do you really me want to rake up the past and dig up the truth, huh? If yes, I'll fight you to the end!

Lucia's eyes were sharp and cold, and she was ready to fight Jacob and Poppy to the end.

"What damn truth can you reveal?" Seeing everyone looking at them, Jacob raised his voice deliberately, "The truth is you are a dissolute woman! You've seen your lover secretly in the hotel and disgraced the Webb family!"

Some waiters, coming to smooth things over, happened to hear his words. Then they were stunned and stared at Lucia.

Jacob told the old story in this tone and twisted the fact. Lucia was so mad that she clenched her fists tightly, and thundered, "Watch your mouth, Jacob! Be a man!" she declared her bottom line.

"What? You want me to sing the praise of you? Lucia, you are nothing but a..." Jacob pointed at Lucia and cursed her harshly. But he just shut up and fell forward abruptly as if he had been struck. Lucia backed off swiftly and saw Jacob lying in front of her.

"What am I?" Lucia pulled a long face, glared at Jacob, and said coldly.

Jacob was ashamed and angry. He stood up with the help of the chair immediately and turned around to roar, "Who the fuck was it? Who dared to kick me!"

"What a coincidence, Mr. Taylor!" A man took back his leg behind Jacob's back and smiled coldly and disdainfully.

Arthur?

Jacob was shocked and wondered what he was doing here.

Lucia looked at Arthur with gratitude. Jacob was standing with his back to Arthur just now and couldn't see him getting close and raising his leg to give him a hard kick, but she did see everything.

"Mr. Davies? What are you doing here?" Jacob's voice trembled a bit. Well, it was quite a hard kick on his waist.

"Mr. Taylor, don't you think you are being too mean on the public occasion?" Arthur said with satire.

"It's not what you think..." Jacob found the onlookers staring at him with accusatory eyes while he was about to defend himself, and he didn't know how to explain it now.

"Are you all right, miss?" Arthur ignored Jacob, bypassed him, and went up to Lucia. He stretched to hold her waist and asked with concern.

"I'm all right. Thanks," Lucia replied.

Jacob glared at Arthur's hand around Lucia's waist fiercely but still had to put on a fake smile, "It's a misunderstanding. Mr. Davies, I gotta go now."

After that, Jacob turned around to leave and pushed the waiters hard to vent his anger.

Arthur didn't take his hand off Lucia's waist until Jacob left. Then he said, "I've told you to be careful."

He wondered what she was gonna do if he hadn't shown up in time just now.

"I didn't imagine he could be so shameless!" Lucia said and smiled bitterly.

Arthur looked at Lucia and wanted to say something, but he suddenly paused and fixed his eyes on her earlobe, only to find the clear tooth marks. Then he touched it without hesitation and said coldly, "Who did it?"

Lucia trembled but said nothing, forgetting to avoid Arthur's touching.

"He?" Arthur added and rubbed her earlobe softly. Then he said with a gloomy face, "Come with me."

Lucia followed him and walked forward. Very soon, they arrived at the underground parking lot.
