She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 230

After listening to Poppy's explanation of what happened, Kane had a whole picture of what she had gone through in the past ten days, but ...

"Poppy, how about you take Jacob's advice? A billion is enough for an ordinary person. You can take this money to live somewhere else. Do not care about the feud with Lucia or the grudge against Jacob. Isn't it amazing to live a happy life alone?"

Although he wanted to help Poppy out of the situation, Kane's sense of justice clearly told him that Poppy was to blame. The result was actually good. Jacob could resort to law and put her in jail if not for old time's sake. If Jacob did, it was inevitable that Poppy would be sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

"What are you talking about?" Poppy was furious at his words, slapped the table, and glared at Kane, "Do you know how much JTP is worth now? Why should I take only one billion?"

"Poppy, Jacob now has evidence to accuse you of transferring company assets. Are you now thinking that you can divorce him in a normal way and share the assets equally?" Kane asked unhappily.

"Or why do you think I ask you back?" Poppy adopted her usual bossy attitude.

Kane frowned. Once again he felt he was a pawn used by Poppy. When he was needed, she would get close to pacify him. When he was not needed, she would just abandon him.

Thinking about it, Kane put on a cold expression on his face.

"Poppy, what do you think I can do now?" Kane asked in a cold voice.

"You're a lawyer and legally adept. There must be some way to get me off. Kane, I know you can." It was Poppy's wishful thinking.

Kane chuckled and asked Poppy, "You know I'm just a lawyer, I can defend you based on the facts, but what can I do when the evidence is so clear? At most, I can fight for a reduced sentence."

"Then what's the point of you coming back?" Kane's answer made Poppy disappointed and angry, and she blurted out the most hurtful words. When she noticed that Kane's gaze had abruptly turned cold, it was too late.

"I am of little use to you." Kane laughed to himself, "I don't know what you take me for, but I consider myself your friend, so the most I can do for you is to help reduce your sentence, and it may not work out. Well, you think it over yourself."

Poppy knew she had misspoken just now, so she tried to say something nice to hold onto Kane. The two were sitting very close. She got closer to Kane, her breast against his arm, as she said coquettishly.

"Kane, don't be angry. I put my mouth in my foot again. I know you have other ways. Can't you just help me?"

If it was before, Kane would feel flattered and even bewitched, but now he only had Juliana in his heart. Poppy's intimacy did not work for him, so he pulled back his arm without mercy and said coldly.

"Poppy, all I can do now is to persuade you to accept the condition proposed by Jacob. Honestly, he has shown you mercy. If not, you would have been detained by now. Stop coveting JTP's assets and let go."

"He has shown me mercy?" Rejected once again by Kane, Poppy was desperate to the extreme, and she vented her anger without reservation.

"Did you forget how he got JTP? Without me, he wouldn't have hit on Lucia. If I hadn't set Lucia up to cheat on him, he wouldn't have been the president of JTP and accomplished so much today. Kane, I can't let go!"

Kane fixated on Poppy's face distorted out of anger. He truly felt that this woman was terrifying. And she had totally been corrupted by desire.

Knowing that she would not listen to his advice, Kane did not bother to say anything more after he finished the sentence, "Think about which to choose, one billion or a reduced sentence."
