She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 193

Poppy came back to her senses and pushed Jacob's friend away. She glared at him before stumbling back to the private box. When she got inside, she snatched a glass from a man and drank it.

'Jacob, you make me do it!'

Tasting the strong liquor, Poppy had an idea of her own.

The next day, Juliana and Sophie went out together. As Juliana told Sophie she would have a routine checkup at Women's and Children's Hospital, Sophie made a suggestion.

"Julia, I know a doctor at Kindred Hospital. How about we go there today?"

Juliana said hurriedly as soon as she heard this, "Women's and Children's Hospital has my medical record. It's better not to change hospitals."

"Yes?" Sophie observed Juliana's expression, murmured and didn't insist on her request. The two were then sent by Jan to Women's and Children's Hospital. The examination that day went very well. When Juliana felt relieved, she heard Sophie say.

"Julia, where are your test results?"

Juliana hesitated, but answered, "Here." After saying that, she handed her test results to Sophie, fixating on Sophie.

Sophie flipped through them and said, "You have a baby bump faster than I expected. How about I take the test results to a doctor I know and let him see if there is something wrong?"

"Mom!" Juliana's reaction was the same as when she left the house in the morning. Now she even reached out to take back the test results from Sophie's hands.

With a feigned calmness on her face, she said, "Don't worry too much. I'm really fine, Also, the fetus is still small now. You can't see anything wrong. Wait until it grows a bit bigger."

Sophie looked at her empty hands, looked up at Juliana, and said, "Don't be so anxious. This is your first pregnancy and you don't know a lot about pregnancy. That's why I am worried about you."

"Thanks, but no need to worry about me," Juliana forced a smile and said to Sophie.

"Okay, then, I won't do this. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, got it?" Sophie softly advised.

"OK," Juliana sighed in relief and replied.

Sophie noticed Juliana's reaction and felt worried. Her intuition told her Juliana must be hiding something. Otherwise, why couldn't Juliana go through such a simple test? However, it was not a proper time to nail Juliana's lie now.

On the third day after the checkup, Sophie left for New York and Juliana was relieved.

Sophie had just left that night when Juliana came to the study looking for Arthur.

"Arthur, I want to talk to you about something," Juliana said as she closed the door behind her and came to sit in the chair opposite Arthur.

"Well, go ahead." Arthur put down the documents in his hand and looked at Juliana.
