She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 181

Eduard entered Lucia's office and saw her laughing in tears.

"Lucia, go!" Eduard rushed up to Lucia and grabbed her wrist and pulled her out. Lucia froze for a moment then shook his hand off.

"Where?" Lucia wiped her tears with her right hand.

"Go to settle scores with Arthur!" Eduard had read that news report and remembered what Arthur had said to Lucia that night, and now this engagement party was a slap in Arthur’s face.

"What's the point of doing it? He doesn't owe me anything," Lucia said in a cold voice.

"He doesn't owe anything? He told you it was an accident, and then he's engaged to her. He's a liar!" Eduard shouted angrily as if he had been hurt more.

"I've broken up with him. It has nothing to do with me anymore," Lucia said indifferently.

"Then why are you crying?" Eduard yelled in anger.

Seeing Lucia's face go pale, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Lucia, I didn't mean it. I ..."

Lucia forced a smile and said, "No need to apologize. You're just telling the truth."

Eduard was so distressed to see Lucia’s sad face. He approached her, stared at her, and said, "Lucia, stop being so selfless. Go to Arthur's house and ask him for an explanation!"

"And then? What can be changed?" Lucia asked Eduard as she raised her eyes to meet his.

Eduard was speechless.

What could be changed? The engagement between Arthur and Juliana may have been known to the whole country. Nothing could be changed even if Lucia went to Arthur and made a scene

But, he felt indignant for Lucia!

"Are we just going to let Arthur and Juliana get away with it?"

"Do you think I want to?" Lucia flared up and stood up with a slap on the table. She couldn't hold herself back or pretend to be strong anymore.

"I want a man who loves me with his whole heart, but Arthur can’t! What can I do?"

Eduard was at a loss for words.

"I know I can’t get whatever I wish, so I force myself to let it slide. It’s useless to make a scene!" Lucia told her true thoughts sadly. It was not that she gave up on Arthur, but Arthur had never belonged to her!

"Lucia ..." Looking at Lucia's eyes full of tears, Eduard did not know what to say except for feeling distressed for her.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I want to go back to rest." Lucia didn't want to show her weakness in front of anyone. After she finished speaking, she grabbed her coat and walked out, turning her head to glare at Eduard when he was about to catch up. Her gaze seemed ruthless but actually betrayed her pain.

Eduard stopped in his tracks and looked at Lucia's back with knitted brows.

Lucia walked past her colleagues towards the outside, afraid that she could not help squatting down and crying out if she paused.

Having finally walked out of the entrance of Jibillion Inc, Lucia lowered her head and walked forward, but someone suddenly clasped her elbow, and a family voice she never wanted to hear sounded.
