She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 34

She felt relieved.

Jacob did not notice Arthur coming, and when he realized it, his shoulder was being clenched hard by Arthur's hand. He trembled in pain and released his grip on Lucia.

Arthur quickly put his other hand around Lucia's waist and brought her back to him.

His eyes grew sharp when he saw her wrist turn red. He tightened his grip on Jacob's shoulder, and Jacob even bent down in pain.

Arthur suddenly released Jacob before he could struggle. Jacob lost his balance, stumbled, and almost fell.

When he got steady on his feet, he saw Arthur, who was protecting Lucia, staring at him with angry eyes.

Jacob glared at Arthur's hand around Lucia's waist, booed rudely, and said with sarcasm, "The escort showed up so soon?" But he received no response.

Arthur had shifted his focus to Lucia. He took her hand and gently rubbed her wrist with his thumb, with sympathy in his eyes.

"It doesn't hurt very much." Looking into Arthur's worried eyes, Lucia was very moved.

"You sure?" Arthur glared at Lucia, disliking the way she acted tough.

Then he said, "I have revenged you."

That was Arthur's style. He would avenge on someone who hurt the people close to him without any mercy.

Hearing this, Lucia smiled at Arthur. It turned out that Arthur would not let anyone who hurt her escape punishment.

They stared at each other affectionately. Everyone could notice the affection in their eyes.

The rage surged through Jacob. Jacob was thinking of the dirtiest words he could say, but a voice behind him forced him to swallow them.

"Mr. Taylor, you seem very interested in my executive…"

Jacob looked back and saw Eduard walking toward him with a fake smile.

Why was he joining the fight?

Eduard was more difficult for Jacob to deal with than Arthur. Branch of Davonnis managed by Arthur had only been developed in Athegate in recent years. Jacob did not know him very well. He only confronted Arthur in a business deal two years ago.

Different from Arthur, Eduard was a powerful native in Athegate. It was said that he had dealings with the underworld. Thus, Jacob was afraid of him.

While Jacob was pondering, Eduard had come to Arthur and Lucia. He noticed the intimacy between Arthur and Lucia, and the red marks on Lucia's wrist.

"Mr. Taylor, isn't that very rude of you?" With unfathomable emotions in his eyes, he stared fixedly at Jacob and said harsh remarks.

"Rude?" Jacob wanted to go, but it would have been humiliating for him to do so, so he let out a snort of laughter. "You know Lucia's my ex-wife, right? You really didn't know her scandal five years ago?"

Jacob was mocking them for protecting a woman he discarded.

Lucia frowned at Jacob's words. Arthur was staring at her, so he immediately noticed her displeasure.
