She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 458

This time Esmae didn't say anything, but frowned. Arthur's words were right actually and though she didn't want to admit it, she did worry about what Spencer would do to Theodore. After all, Theodore was Arthur's son.

Seeing Esmae's hesitation, Sophie spoke up,

"Esmae, even though Edwin and I have a grudge with you, we used to be friends. I'm sure you know our personalities and ways of dealing with people. If you're willing to let Teddy go back to the Davis family, we'll protect him from Spencer. At the very least, we won't let him suffer."

Esmae was still silent.

"Esmae, knowing Spencer, it won't be long before he offers to take Teddy in. What are you going to do about it?" Chris asked Esmae timely.

"I'm not going to let him take Teddy away!" Esmae answered positively. Spencer was too petty to be serious about Theodore. She couldn't let Theodore get hurt!

When Esmae said this, it meant that she agreed with Arthur's words, and there was hope among the people, but Esmae said it anyway,

"But I won't let you take Teddy away too! I'll take care of him myself!"

"Esmae," Sophie said, and her eyes and words were so tender,

"Kids need someone close to them. Lucia chooses Spencer, and Teddy can't live with them. Why not compromise and let Teddy live with his father? You just saw how much Teddy misses his dad, and even though the kid is quiet, he knows everything..."

Hearing Sophie's words, Esmae thought back to the way Theodore had just looked at her in Arthur's arms. Children had natural affinity to their parents. Even though she had brought him up, and when she had given Arthur a hard time, the child will still subconsciously favor him. Although Esmae was not reconciled, she can not deny the blood ties.

"Esmae, if you really can't make up your mind, give Lucia a call and ask her if she's willing to hand over Teddy to Arthur. If even Lucia is willing, there's no reason for us to stop her." Chris spoke up again in time, each time hitting Esmae's most tangled point.

The Davis family looked at Chris gratefully. Sophie responded, "Esmae, we beg you, please call Lucia. If Lucia doesn't want to do it, we'll leave right away."

For some reason, Sophie believed Lucia would agree.

Esmae thought for a moment and finally agreed, in anticipation. She said,

"Yes, I'll call Lucia right now, but if she says no, after that, you can't talk about it!"

"Yes, I promise," Arthur said at once.

Esmae glanced at Arthur, told a maid to get her phone, called Lucia in front of everyone, and put her on speaker.

After a long wait, Lucia picked up the phone, and a clear voice came through,

"Esmae."

"Lucia, are you still in Miami?" Esmae asked, seeing the change in Arthur's eyes at the sound of Lucia's voice.

"Yes, I'm still there. It might be a few days," replied Lucia.

"How is your engagement trip with Spencer?" Esmae asked again.
