She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 430

"Esmae, are you really happy that I broke up with Arthur?"

Lucia asked, gazing into Esmae's eyes.

"What do you want to say?" Esmae asked without stopping to comb her hair.

"I'm just curious. Now, I'll do whatever you say. I've cut all ties with uncle and his family, and even Teddy can't recognize them as family anymore. Will that make you happy?" Lucia wanted to know the answer.

Esmae hesitated for half a second, then said, "I'm not happy, and I'm not doing this to get back at anyone. I just need to distance myself from the past so that you and Teddy are better off. That's all."

When she heard Esmae's words, Lucia slowly lowered her eyelids, hiding the murky look in her eyes, and said, "In this life, will you never forgive them?"

But Lucia hadn't forgotten about Helena and Otis, and there was nothing she can do about it, but what about them?

"No," Esmae replied emphatically.

When Lucia heard this answer, she felt that something in her heart was sinking down slowly. All her emotions were becoming cold, and there were no more waves.

Sensing Lucia's mood, Esmae frowned, and her tone was a little conciliatory,

"Lucia, I still say that Brown family will always be your strong support. Don't worry about marrying Spencer. He won't dare to treat you badly."

This time, Lucia did not refute but just had a faint smile, answering, "I know, thank you."

Lucia had apparently given in completely, but Esmae was beginning to feel bad. She knew she was strong, but she didn't know what to say. At that moment, someone was knocking on Lucia's door. The two looked towards the door.

"Who is it so late?" Esmae frowned, put down her comb and went to open the door, only to find Helena dragging her suitcase.

"Helena, what took you so long?" In the afternoon, Esmae rested and almost forgot that her daughter hadn't arrived at Athegate yet.

"Mom, I'm here, aren't I?" Helena smiled at her mother and looked at Lucia. "Lucia."

Lucia stood up to meet Helena. Seeing her still dragging luggage, she can not help but glance at her. Having a slight smile, she did not expose her.

Lucia was a frequent flyer between Chicago and Athegate, and she remembered almost all the times of the flights. Helena was definitely not from Chicago at this time. In case Esmae would notice, Lucia said to Esmae,

"Esmae, go home and rest. I'll be fine with Helena."

Lucia said it bluntly. She was the one being chaperoned, because she knew Esmae was afraid she'd regret it.

"All right," said Esmae, who was tired of staying up late with her jet lag, and said to Helena,

"Helena, take care of Lucia."

"Got it. I'll stay with Lucia tonight. I'll accompany her to do her makeup tomorrow," Helena said with a smile. After sending her back to the room next door with Lucia, the two went back to their room. After they closed the door, the smile on Helena's face disappeared in an instant.
