She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 653

Chapter 653 Brothers Work Together

"No, so you need to cast a wide net," Arthur said.

"Okay, wait for my news," Otis said, sending a text message to the team that was searching for Jacob.

"This is a week ago's location. Jacob may not be there, but we still need to search," Arthur added.

"Of course," Otis said with a gleam in his eyes, "If there's even a one-in-10, 000 chance of it, just search!"

Arthur knew that Otis was for Lucia and himself, so he was grateful. There was no need for words between brothers, so he asked instead,

"Otis, has Helena been in touch with you lately?"

In fact, Otis really wanted to attend the christening, and and was about to leave, but their parents stopped him.

Edwin and Sophie knew Esmae well enough that meeting Helena and Otis at a time like this would only make things worse. Otis had stopped his trip, but the seemingly aloof man was already missing her terribly.

"No..." Otis whispered. "Arthur, I really admire you..."

"Admire me for what?" Arthur seemed to know what Otis meant, but asked anyway.

"Admire you, can endure..." The missing for Helena overflowed his heart. Otis was self-suffering, and can not help but worry for Arthur and Lucia at the same time.

"Just get used to it," Arthur said with a wry smile, and furrowed.

"I don't want to get used to this," Otis said, sounding bitter, "We have to find a way to settle the feud between Mom and Dad and Esmae," he said. "Otherwise, the two of us... will be bachelors for the rest of our lives."

The men in Davies family valued feelings, so Otis wasn't kidding.

"Esmae is stubborn and strong-willed, and it can be extremely difficult to change her mind." Arthur's head ached at the way Esmae looked at him, as he and Lucia had witnessed many times before.

"Even if it's difficult, we have to try," Otis firmly said, "Do not let our women... be sad again."

"Understood." Arthur, of course, never gave up.

Otis sent a text message, and a search team of nearly 100 men rushed to Vallentyne and began an exhaustive search. But this time they still found nothing. What they didn't know was that Gene's idea had unwittingly put Jacob on the defensive, and that he had left Vallentyne with all of his men after running into the police looking for him that night.

By the time Nia asked to meet him, Jacob had gone to Mexico at Leon's behest, to lie low and wait for bringing it to light again.

Nia returned to the country in disappointment. Just as she had agreed with Erik, she personally went to the police station in the afternoon on the day of her return to request that the case be dismissed. Upon hearing her words, the officer in charge of the case immediately frowned.

"Miss Davidson, are you sure?" The officer was even more confused when he recalled Nia's helpless and pitiful look when she came to report the crime. She had clear evidence to convict Spencer, so why did she drop the case now?
