She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 489

"You're busy with work, but you need to rest," Otis added.

"Out doing what?" Arthur asked, ignoring Otis' words.

"Go to Spencer's and see what's going on," Otis said, knowing that Arthur wouldn't stop until he told him.

"Why?" Arthur asked, sitting up straight and staring at Otis, with his eagle eyes shining sharply.

When it came to Lucia, he needed to know!

"All right, I'll say it," Otis said, setting down his coffee and looking at Arthur,

"Lucia asked me to investigate a mysterious man by Spencer's side. She only found out about his existence after she got engaged to Spencer. He's agile and carries a gun. Lucia suspected that he's not an ordinary bodyguard.I served in the special forces before, so she asked me to investigate."

"Get to the point," Arthur said, feeling sure that Otis hadn't said what he wanted to hear.

Knowing Arthur's quick thinking, Otis thought for a moment and said, "Lucia suspects the man is the one who killed Poppy."

"Arthur's eyes flickered. He looked Otis in the eye and asked, "What is Lucia's attitude toward Spencer?"

"She's conflicted, but it's true that Spencer and Jacob worked together. With Jacob's ability and skill, there's no way to find such a powerful killer. The only possibility is that Spencer found the killer. She can't prove it, so she has to turn to me," Otis said, carefully sidestepping the question of Lucia's attitude toward Spencer.

If Arthur ever found out that Lucia had a grudge against Spencer, Otis knew he would never let it happen. He had to be careful what he said or did about Lucia's future plans.

"Then how are you doing?" Arthur asked faintly. His eyes dimmed, not revealing any emotion.

"We found out that the assassin's name is Dan. He used to work for the Marine Corps. After leaving the army eight years ago, he joined various mercenary forces on the fringes. After that, he somehow joined Erik's army and worked for Erik all the time. This time, for some reason, he followed Spencer back to the country. Furthermore, Poppy's death was very suspicious. The cause of death could only be the work of a veteran. Maybe Lucia's guess is right."

Otis chose his words carefully.

"Are you going to tell Lucia the truth about this?" Arthur put down the coffee, and his tone was still neutral.

"Of course, that's what she asked me to look into," Otis replied without hesitation.

"Well..." Arthur's voice softened, like a lake without waves.

"Arthur, this is between Lucia and Spencer. You can't interfere, understand?" Otis could not guess Arthur's emotions, but he had to remind his brother that the other party was a ruthless killer. He can't bring Arthur into this. He'll keep Lucia safe.

"Well," Arthur replied crisply, leaning into the back of the sofa. His face was moving away from the edge of the light, as if in the dark.

"Arthur?" Staring at Arthur's blurry face, Otis warned him worriedly, "It's her business if Lucia wants to avenge for Poppy. Don't interfere, and don't neglect your own safety and participate. Can you promise me that?"

"Even if I want to intervene, where would I stand..." Arthur's voice came quietly, like a sigh.
