She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 565

Arthur had never forgotten what Lucia had said to him, affectionately and indignantly, and he remembered them often in the middle of the night.

Sophie managed to suppress her excitement and said to Arthur,

"Arthur, do you think Lucia and Spencer have a reason to be together?"

Without knowing that the unborn child might be Arthur's, Sophie might not have expected it, but once she did, other expectations restored, even stronger.

"Well..." Arthur didn't want to keep Sophie in the dark either. "I've confirmed with the man who claims to be Teddy's donor that he's not the real donor," he said.

"What?!" Sophie caught another bombshell!

Arthur smiled at his mother's surprised tone and said, "I went to make sure of it myself."

Sophie paused for a few seconds before saying, "Could it be that everything we thought was true, that Lucia was with Spencer for Teddy?"

"I can't be 100% sure, because I can't find out who the real donor is. But Lucia definitely knows the truth. She chose to be engaged to Spencer, maybe because of Teddy, maybe for other reasons. But all the evidence suggests that her relationship with Spencer is definitely not about love."

Arthur thought it over and decided not to tell his mother that Otis had sent someone to protect Lucia. He knew how much she loved Lucia, and if he did, she would have made Lucia's safety a priority. He can't risk ruining Lucia's plan.

Why being hurtful? Because Arthur couldn't be sure of the truth, he could only speculate. Why he couldn't help but toss and turn? Because his heart ached for Lucia. If the speculation was true, how much courage and how much perseverance would it take for her to leave him, leave Teddy and go to Spencer?

So Arthur never blamed Lucia, no matter when, no matter what.

"Why are you only telling me now, Arthur..." Sophie complained. She had been worrying about Arthur and Lucia for months, not just herself, but her husband as well.

"I'm sorry, but I've been looking into these things," Arthur said, feeling guilty that he had worried his mother,

"And it's just speculation."

Arthur was too cautious. Sophie sighed when she heard Arthur's words. He could have asked Lucia as he wished, but he didn't want to interfere with her choice.

"So what are you going to do?" Sophie asked.

"Stay with her like this," Arthur naturally spoke of the most difficult persistence in human nature, "No matter what happens."

"You..." Arthur's insistence moved Sophie and hurt her.

"By the way," Arthur added, "Let's not tell my dad about this yet. He'll take the question of the offspring very seriously. I'm afraid he'll do something before it's too late."

No?

Sophie scowled and turned to her husband, Edwin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. But, she was on speakerphone with Arthur.
