She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 180

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Arthur looked up and met his mother's angry eyes. He was caught off guard by Sophie's sudden arrival and stood up and said, "Mom, why do you come here all of a sudden?"

"You know the reason. Do you wish me to not come to you until Julia's baby is born?" Sophie said snappishly.

Arthur then realized that Sophie knew about Juliana's pregnancy. He hurriedly went to Sophie and said in an undertone, "Mom, it's a long story."

"Tell me!" Arthur still had Lucia's picture on his desk, and yet Juliana's pregnancy was true. Sophie was even more furious.

Arthur knew Sophie was angry, and he felt bad about it. He could only put his arm around his mother's waist and bring her to sit on the sofa and tell her about the accident that night. When he retold the story, Sophie was so excited several times that she wanted to stand up, but he gently pressed her.

"Arthur, how stupid you are!" After knowing the whole story, Sophie heaved a sigh of hatred.

"Mom, what happened that night was really an accident. I don't know how I got drunk and had sex with Julia ..." Arthur found it hard to explain himself.

"I told you that Julia was fragile and you were the only person she trusted. Though you and Julia are good friends, there should be boundaries between you. I ask you to keep a proper distance from her. Why don’t you listen to me!" Sophie really didn’t wish it to happen.

"I ..." Arthur was unable to defend himself. He indeed placed his feelings above Sophie’s suggestion. If he had listened to Sophie, he would not have been in a predicament now.

"So what are you going to do?" Sophie knew Arthur didn’t want it to happen, either. Though she was angry with him, she asked softly.

"I promised to give Julia and the baby a home." Arthur did not deny the promise he had made.

Sophie frowned at once and asked, "What about Lucia and Teddy?"

This was a question that Arthur would like to know the answer to.

Staring at her son, Sophie knew his internal struggle and continued, "Do you know that you and Lucia will never get back together if you make this decision?"

Sadness flashed across Arthur's eyes and he nodded slightly.

"You!" Sophie didn't even know what to say for a moment. She only felt sorry for Lucia and Theodore now, "Lucia suffered so much and brought Teddy up, and now you hurt her so much..."

She sighed deeply.

"I know it," Arthur had been on the verge of a breakdown. Hearing Sophie’s words, he couldn't contain his emotions any longer.
