She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 400

After coming out of the Vortex Hotel, Eduard had been following behind Arthur nervously. He didn't even take a car, just kept walking along the street. His back looked extremely desolate.

Eduard watched Arthur go further and further away. Thinking that this was not the way to go, he ran a few steps to catch up with him, and asked in a low voice,

"Arthur, let's go back to the hospital... There's no way to go on like this."

Arthur didn't respond, as if he didn't hear it.

Eduard's heart skipped a beat. Shouldn't Arthur cry?

Being betrayed by the woman he loved was unbearable for any man. Eduard hesitated to stop him. After all, if he did cry, seeing him face to face will hurt his self-esteem.

Just when Eduard was hesitating, Arthur suddenly stopped and turned to stare at him. Although Eduard was startled, he was relieved to see that he didn't cry. If he "fortunately" saw Arthur crying, he probably won't survive this year.

"Eduard, do you think I'm really wrong?" The usually sharp eagle eyes were only vulnerable and helpless at this time. Arthur couldn't figure out this and decided to ask Eduard.

All the way out, Arthur couldn't explain the pain and complexity in his heart. Lucia betrayed him, used and framed him. But when he should be angry, he couldn't get angry. There was only one idea in his mind. Was he really as hateful as Lucia said? For that five years of life that could not be made up for, did she really hate him so much that she was willing to pretend to be by his side and avenge him?

"Hmm..." Eduard also found it difficult to answer clearly, because his position was not firm. He said after thinking for a while,

"Until now, I don't really believe what Lucia said, but what she said is not without basis. I can imagine Lucia's state of mind six years ago. She was betrayed by the man she loved and her best friend, and she was displaced. After going abroad, she found out that she was pregnant with a child of an unknown person. Out of human nature, she chose to keep the child. Although she had no worries about food and clothing in the past five years, there was always something missing. Ordinary people would indeed have infinite hatred, but Lucia... is not ordinary people..."

Would that kind-hearted woman, who could understand the truth, really hate Arthur who didn't know it?

Eduard couldn't tell for a moment.

"Sure enough..." Arthur smiled bitterly, and his voice sounded bleak, "I did it wrong..."

"Arthur, you didn't know it at the time," Eduard opened his mouth subconsciously to comfort Arthur when he sensed Arthur's pain, "I believe you wouldn't have left if you had known the situation at the time."

Arthur was silent, with a dim light flashing in his eyes. Eduard felt a sense of unease, and after a while, Arthur spoke like a sigh,

"Do you know why I asked you if I was really wrong? Because when I left the room, I was sober, and I saw Lucia lying beside me. But I only thought of her as a frivolous woman. I never thought about knowing who she was. I just left like that. If time goes back... maybe, I would still leave like that resolutely..."

Eduard understood. What Lucia said at the hotel just now really represented the guilt in Arthur's heart. No wonder he kept wondering why Arthur had been so calm just now, not because of his self-control, but because he was too guilty to refute.

At this moment, Eduard really felt sorry for Arthur because he was a man and he understood him.

"Arthur, do you really believe that Lucia is who she just showed? Does she really not love you? Is it all just revenge?"
