She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 425

It was nearly noon when Daphne, after much hesitation, knocked on Lucia's office door.

Lucia was already waiting for her, so she was invited to sit on the sofa with her, with nothing but a warm smile on her face.

Daphne stared at Lucia suspiciously for a long time, as if she wanted to see something in her face. Lucia smiled and asked,

"Don't you recognize me?"

"I don't know..." Daphne murmured what was on her mind, then nervously explained when she sensed a slip of the tongue,

"Lucia, I didn't mean..."

"I understand," said Lucia with a slight smile.

After that, there was silence again, and Daphne had her own problems.

At home last night, Eduard made a point of telling her that Lucia might be back tomorrow. Daphne was one of her special friends. Eduard wanted her to have a talk with Lucia, who might have been tempted to tell the truth, but Daphne really didn't know how to hide her emotions, or how to get information out of her.

Daphne said nothing, but her mind was showed on her face, and Lucia looked at her with a bitter smile.

She had expected Arthur to send Daphne to talk to her. He knew her too well, and knew that she was open to Daphne who was simple, but... he was wrong this time. She had to be ruthless.

Thinking of this, Lucia calmed herself down and said,

"Daphne, I know that you don't understand what I did, but I have my own love and hate. You all think that Arthur is very good, and he loves me deeply. But this is just your opinion. This kind of opinion won't shake my initial resentment toward him. I came back to the country with the determination to take revenge. No matter how good he is, he still did something to hurt me and Teddy. I can't forgive him, and I won't forgive him either."

Daphne listened to Lucia's words in silence, and her heart was throbbing with pain. Lucia, when spoke of her hatred for Arthur, was recalling her own bitter past.

"Also, Spencer, I can tell you frankly that Spencer came back for me from the beginning. Although he follows Esmae's orders, from the beginning to the end, he is the only one who doesn't hurt me at all. He also didn't mind that I gave birth to Arthur's child, so I chose him. This was a decision I made on my own."

Lucia explained to Daphne the two things that puzzled them all the most.

"Lucia, is that what you really think?" Daphne couldn't tell the truth from Lucia's words. She simply believed her, hoping that she would tell her the truth.

Lucia looked at Daphne as if she were looking at Arthur, Eduard, and the others behind her, and didn't hesitate to stick to her lie,

"That's what I really think. You can just tell Arthur and Eduard. Don't have to be embarrassed."

Hearing this, Daphne's eyes twinkled and she asked, "So you know..."

"I know, I know they'll let you talk to me, but my mind won't change, and neither will the engagement party tomorrow," Lucia said frankly.

Daphne was silent, and didn't know what else to say.
