She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 279

Poppy looked out of the window at the rain, and never quite able to calm herself down. That day, with unwavering determination, she went straight to the police and asked them to take her to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, where she explained the documents and what she was going to report. She met Jacob who had been summoned.

As she passed Jacob in the hallway, Poppy saw a determination in Jacob's eyes, as if he determined to throw something away.

Poppy couldn't get that look out of her mind. She didn't want to be released on bail, but Kane said the conditions in the jail were so bad that she made the choice. But in her heart, the jail was much safer than Kane's home.

"Poppy, are you still worried? We have officers outside the house. You don't have to worry." Kane, seeing that Poppy was worried, came over to comfort her.

"Now I have no way out, and neither does Jacob. He has a lot of people behind him. I think a lot of people want me to die right now," Poppy said indifferently. Her tone somewhat was indifferent to death.

Kane didn't want to see Poppy like this. She seemed to be actively accusing Jacob, but she was already so depressed that she was not afraid to die, which hurt him a lot.

Poppy stuck her hand out onto the balcony and got a little bit of rain. She continued, "I heard what you said the other day. It's something that I've long forgotten. In the past, when my family was poor, all I thought about was how to get ahead and how to climb up the social ladder. Later on, I really succeeded, and I even forgot all about my original heart. I've forgotten that the heart of a person is more important than money..."

Kane nodded, "It's good for you to figure it out."

"They say there's a god in the heaven. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Look what happened to me. Isn't that what God taught me? I betrayed Lucia, who was devoted to me, and chose Jacob, who has treachery. I lost the most precious thing because of my selfishness and greed."

Poppy's voice was soft, like a drop of rain sliding off a leaf of potted plant at the balcony.

If only Lucia could hear Poppy now, Kane thought.

"Kane, do you have a digital camera?" Poppy was silent for a moment, then turned to Kane.

"Yes. Is there anything you can do with it?" Kane asked.

"Well, record something. I have a bad feeling, so I'll try to do something more for Lucia," Poppy said nonchalantly.

"Poppy, why do you think this is happening? Jacob will get what's coming to him. You'll be rehabilitated in prison, and we'll figure out what to do when you get out." For some reason, Kane thought Poppy was horribly depressed.

"I'm going to get punished, too. No one gets away with it," Poppy said. Her eyes were darkening as she insisted that Kane bring her digital camera and watch as she sat in the living room recording a long video. After the recording, Kane had a complicated look on his face, while Poppy was relaxed.

"Keep this video and save it on your computer right now. If anything happens to me, you can upload it to the internet and give it to Lucia and the authorities," Poppy solemnly told Kane.

"Poppy... you..." Kane was reluctant to say that she was making it sound like a suicide note.

"Don't say it. It's God's will," Poppy said with a slight smile, and truly the most relaxed she'd been in a long time.
