She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 235

Seeing Kayla's confused face, Sophie leaned over and handed the cup of tea to her, and said, "Kayla, the universe is fickle. Sometimes things are not as simple as what we see. You just see Arthur and me making things difficult for Julia, but you can't see what Arthur has done for Julia. The reason why Edwin didn't come to their engagement party is that he has long admitted the identity of Lucia and Teddy. At the beginning of the year, he even took Teddy back to his hometown to visit his ancestors graves, but in the end, things became such a mess. You can say I am selfish. But I am Arthur's mother, and I have to think of him."

"I understand." This simple sentence indicated that Kayla had forgiven Sophie.

Sophie showed a faint smile and continued, "We will find out the truth one day, and the easiest way to do that is to have the baby's DNA tested. We, as well as Julia, need to figure that out."

Kayla raised her eyebrows and looked at Sophie with complicated emotions in her eyes. Intelligent as she was, she understood the implication of Sophie's words.

Kayla and Sophie talked for a long time that day, and in the afternoon Kayla rushed back to Lepus without having dinner with Sophie. When she faced Juliana again, she was uncertain about what to do.

Sophie's words did make sense. She vaguely perceived that Juliana was hiding something from her, but it was tricky for her to ask Juliana about it without hurting Juliana.

She couldn't figure out a way, so she just put it on hold.

Kane was threatened by Poppy, but instead of making any preparations to exonerate Poppy, he started thinking about the possibility of confessing to Juliana.

He couldn't let Poppy make any more mistakes. The day after he spoke with Poppy, Kane returned to Lepus, but he didn't dare to contact Juliana yet.

Poppy thought Kane was trying to figure out how to get her out of the situation, so she got much more relieved. Since they had fallen out, she didn't call to ask Kane, nor did she know Kane had left.

Jacob, at the same time, was thinking of a way to deal with Poppy. That day, when Poppy had a showdown with him, he pretended to be calm, but only he knew that Poppy's threat worked and even made him fidgety.

Arthur had made the public believe that there was more to Lucia's cheating. If Poppy told the truth in court, Jacob thought his reputation would be ruined and the shares price of JTP would be influenced even if he could get away with the punishment. Jacob was unwilling to take such consequences.

Jacob failed to think of a way, so he could only come to Cloudwork Corp and seek Spencer's help.

In Spencer's office, Jacob skipped pleasantries with Spencer and straightforwardly told Spencer about the difficulties he had. Spencer laughed instead after hearing Jacob's words.

"What are you laughing at?" Jacob was annoyed that Spencer was laughing at his difficulties that made him unable to sleep.

"I'm laughing at your weakness." Spencer stopped laughing and said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Jacob was confused.

"Poppy's words are not convincing. Even if she leaves with the money you give her, she is bound to come back and blackmail you with it after she squanders it, and she is just like a bottomless pit," Spencer said.

"Of course, I know it. That's why I ask you for help!" Jacob huffed.
