She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 558

The room was silent, but Arthur's heart was not at all calm. He felt unworthy for Lucia. In his opinion, the woman he loved the most should not be wronged.

Just as Arthur's thoughts were churning, an incoming call rang out on his cell phone and he picked it up.

"Mr. Davies, I've got the information. I'm sending it to you now." As soon as he answered the phone, Kyle cuts to the chase.

"Yeah, send it." Arthur hung up and turned on his computer. A few seconds later, Kyle's e-mail was sent to him.

Opening a file, Arthur began to read each page of information. At the last item, Arthur's mouse movement stopped.

A non-invasive DNA test?

Why would Lucia do this?

It turned out that Arthur had asked Kyle to look for Lucia's medical report, which was supposed to be confidential. Because Spencer had deliberately placed Lucia in a private hospital, Kyle had found a loophole.

Arthur wanted this information to confirm Lucia's condition, only to stumble upon a project she was working on without checking up on.

If his memory served him right, the noninvasive DNA test was designed to screen for chromosomal abnormalities, but Lucia's body wasn't affected, and fetal development wasn't affected, so why would she do that for no reason? What was going on?

At this time Arthur could not think of Lucia's real intention, so it remained in his mind as a puzzle.

Lucia's actions over the past month had unnerved not only Eduard and the others, but Reynolds, too, but not so much. At a private party, he and Monty went straight to Lucia and asked why.

By the pool, Lucia left Spencer and went to a tree for some fresh air. She was more tired than anyone as an "actress". The pool reflected the flickering light from the lights. Lucia's face looked mysterious in the shimmering light.

Lucia was staring into the water when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around in fright and caught a glimpse of Monty's mischievous smile and Reynolds' serious face.

"Monty, you startled me." Since Monty had helped her and she knew he was doing it for Reynolds, Lucia had accepted him for who he was.

"I'm sorry." Monty shrugged and smiled, a smile that meant nothing but no apology.

Lucia wanted to grab Monty's cheek and pull it to the side, but she did it. Monty groaned in pain, but he didn't resist. He looked so infuriating that it made people laugh.

Reynolds looked at Lucia as she played with Monty.

Though she had been seen in magazines and on the news quite a bit this month, Reynolds hasn't seen her face to face in a long time. Looking at her obvious belly under her baggy dress, Reynolds had mixed feelings.

Having had enough of Monty, Lucia looked at Reynolds, shuddered at the melancholy look in his eyes, and called,

"Reynolds..."

Reynolds worried about her, and Lucia knew it.

"Why do you do this to yourself," Reynolds asked Lucia, not obliquely.
