She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 171

Poppy was furious, staring at Lucia for a long time without a word. Thinking about her weaknesses, she opened her mouth and sneered.

"Lucia, I heard that you and Arthur broke up recently. What, have you been betrayed again? After all these years, how come you're still so gullible?"

She thought she could push Lucia’s button by mentioning Arthur, but Lucia didn't even blink, and Poppy was a bit stunned.

"I get physical pleasure from a love relationship. I don’t think I am deceived," Lucia ruffled the ends of her hair and said faintly, "Honestly, instead of worrying about what happened between Arthur and me, you might as well worry if Jacob can be loyal to you."

"Lucia! You!" Poppy's eyes widened and she took a step forward. She looked as if she wanted to tear Lucia apart.

Lucia rose to her feet and took a step forward. Inches away from Poppy, she looked condescendingly at Poppy’s face with heavy make-up and said, "Poppy, forget the slap I gave you last time?"

Poppy appeared timid instantly.

Lucia continued, "Do you know what you look like now? Like a clown! Even if I do have feelings for Jacob, what you should do is watch over your man. Jacob loves you wholeheartedly, doesn’t he? Why are you so panicked? Are you afraid that you will end up like the old me?"

Poppy gave in and looked away. She couldn't hold on, as Lucia hit the nail on the head.

As the wife of the president of JTP Group, she couldn't control her husband, so she came here to blame Lucia, but Lucia fought back, and it was not the first time that she got beaten.

"Get out of here if you hear what I have said. Don't come running around like a shrew when things don't go your way! I won’t indulge your bad temper!" Lucia looked at Poppy and felt disgusted, so she asked Poppy to get out of here.

"Lucia, you can't be arrogant for long." Reluctant to admit defeats, Poppy provoked Lucia.

"That's not up to you," Lucia said as she continued to stare coldly at Poppy, "but I can decide you gotta leave now!"

With that, Lucia suddenly reached out to clasp Poppy's wrists and restrict her movements. Poppy immediately screamed out loud, twisting like a snake to free herself, to no avail.

The door was suddenly opened and Nia ran in with a worried face. She heard screams and thought something had happened to Lucia, but she didn't expect to see Poppy pinned down by Lucia as if Poppy was a prisoner.

"You came just in time. Nia, keep the door open for me," Lucia said as she looked at Nia.

Nia then hurriedly grabbed the door handle to make way for Lucia, who pressed Poppy to the door and pushed her out. Poppy stumbled several steps and would have fallen if she hadn't hit the opposite wall.

Poppy gasped in shock, then turned her head to glare at Lucia and yelled, "Lucia!"
