She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 405

Esmae's eyes flashed, but she didn't deny it. Lucia stared at her with wide eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger!

Esmae was also involved in Spencer's conspiracy!

No wonder, Lucia now realized, no wonder Esmae hided herself as if she no longer cared about Theodore's condition after she came. She not only gave the ward to the Davis family, but also never embarrassed Arthur. It was because she had long known that Theodore would be saved and Spencer would definitely do something to force him leave!

"Why!" Lucia whispered angrily. She could accept Esmae's stubbornness against her being with Arthur, but she couldn't accept that she and Spencer had set her up together. This matter had reached her limit.

Esmae glanced at Lucia, and had already expected Lucia's reaction when she decided to accept Spencer's offer. But, still, she did not change her mind and whispered in response.

"First, Spencer can save Teddy. You can't deny that. Second, I have no reason to refuse Spencer's offer as long as it gets you away from Arthur. Third, I've given enough time and space for the Davies family to visit Teddy and I have nothing to feel guilty about."

Lucia pursed her lips and stared hard at Esmae. Although she seemed to have a valid point, Lucia was still reluctant to accept.

"Esmae, did you know from the beginning that Spencer and Teddy had a successful match? Then all this time ... you were cruel to watch Teddy's condition worsen like this?!"

"Lucia!" Lucia's words angered Esmae. Lucia could question her attitude towards her relationship with Arthur, but she could never doubt Esmae's affection for Theodore.

"Do you have a conscience when you say that? I'm cruel? Do you know who took care of Teddy everyday when he first got sick? When I found out that he has malignant lymphoma, I took him every possible hospital for tests and even went out of my way to beg Edwin and Sophie to save him. All I did was just cruel in your eyes?

Esmae's affection for Teddy was really not false.

Lucia knew she had said the wrong thing, bit her lip and explained, "Esmae, I didn't mean that. I just couldn't understand why you didn't just ask Spencer to donate the bone marrow in the first place, so that Theodore's condition wouldn't have worsened to what it is now."

No one was more distressed than Lucia to see the pathological ulcers on her son's body.

"Why?" Esmae, although her tone was still heavy, her expression had softened. Except for sticking to her attitude on Arthur, she was actually very soft on Lucia, and said,

"Don't you know Spencer's nature? He won't donate before he gets any benefit. My family's background can indeed deter him, but without the benefit, will Spencer save Teddy by my order alone? That's why I acquiesced to his plan and have been urging him to speed it up. I know it will delay Teddy's treatment, but I've asked the attending physician before and he assured me that as long as there's a suitable match, Teddy will never be in trouble! Besides, it's not bad for me. At least, it will let you break up with Arthur!"

Lucia was stunned by Esmae's words. For a moment, she could not even tell what was right and what was wrong. Esmae joined Spencer to cheat her, but Esmae's original intention was still for her and Theodore. Did she still have a reason to accuse anything?

Lucia now can not figure out whether it was her fortune to be rescued by Esmae.

Seeing Lucia biting her lip, Esmae was distressed, but would not back down. She continued,
