She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 562

"Lucia, I'm sorry," Otis said in a low voice. His guilt feeling perhaps was deeper than Lucia's direct disappointment,

"It was my plan that failed, and Jacob discovered it."

Lucia wanted to say it was okay, but her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak for a long time.

After this incident, Jacob realized that even if he escaped to USA, he was still being hunted, and it would be difficult to find him later.

"Spencer's men didn't get it, either," Otis told Lucia after another pause.

"I don't know if Spencer will continue to send men after Jacob," Lucia said, with her eyes darkening when she heard Spencer's name,

"Otis, please keep going after Jacob. I'm afraid Spencer will find him first, and he won't be able to take it easy on him."

"Okay," Otis said, "I'll keep sending more people to look for him."

Otis was also concerned about the chances of capturing Jacob. Growing up in the USA, Otis had always been part of a wealthy family, but that didn't mean he didn't understand how complicated it was to find Jacob among so many people.

Thinking of this, Otis couldn't help apologizing to Lucia again. He knew how disappointed Lucia was.

"It's okay," Lucia finally calmed herself down and replied softly, "Nothing can escape from justice. I believe that no matter how he escapes, he will be caught one day."

"Lucia..." Otis couldn't bear it. "Since the situation has become like this, why don't you just leave Spencer and go back to Arthur?"

"I wish," said Lucia, frowning, "But Jacob is alone in a foreign country," she whispered. "He's going to have to ask Spencer for help, and he might be able to tell us where he is. I want to wait."

If they waited any longer, she and Arthur will only suffer more.

Otis didn't say it out loud because he knew Lucia knew it better than anyone.

He was impressed by Lucia's courage and perseverance. Not everyone could resist the loneliness. She did it.

"Then you have to be more careful in the future. Protect yourself. Protect the baby." Now, Otis can only exhort.

"Thanks, Otis," Lucia sighed, and the two hung up.

Looking out the window of the sun which was covered by clouds, Lucia's heart seemed also to be covered with a layer of haze, lingering.

After the failed attempt to capture Jacob, Spencer continued to send his men to track him down, but compared to Lucia, he was confident that soon after Jacob had squandered everything, he must come to seek his help.
