She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 73

After Lucia told what happened before, her tears cascaded down her cheeks.

Arthur was so heartbroken to see her tearful face. Despite the injuries on his body, he held her into his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry about it. I am by your side."

Lucia suffered no less than Arthur.

Finally confessing the secret she had kept to herself for a long time, Lucia cried and hugged Arthur's shoulders, as if she had to use all her strength to apologize, and said in a hoarse voice,

"Arthur, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do that to you. I didn't want to say those things that hurt you ... but I couldn't help it."

When Lucia said that, Arthur was even more distressed.

While sobbing, Lucia continued, "Every time I say those words to you, my heart hurts so much, but Esmae is kind to me. Arthur, I'm sorry. I can't choose."

"I know I know ..." said Arthur softly while patting Lucia's back.

Lucia can finally stop keeping secrets, crying and explaining to Arthur what she had been doing lately. And what she said when they met today, were all lies. Arthur listened attentively. Although his heart ached for Lucia's tears, the mood was really getting better.

As long as Lucia was willing to talk, no matter what it was, he was willing to carry it for her.

The two told each other their true feelings, for a long time did not pay attention to Sophie who was standing aside. Although she understood the truth, this truth was the same that she can not bear.

Finally, Lucia's emotions gradually settled down. Sophie sighed quietly only then, "Lucia, Esmae's full name is Esmae Wilson ..."

"Yeah." Lucia nodded, looking at Sophie's sad expression. She felt that there must be a hidden fact. No matter how to speculate, Sophie did not look like a person who took away other's man by force, so she asked,

"Sophie, the feud back then, was it actually a misunderstanding?"

Lucia's trust in her made Sophie smile, but the infinite sadness was hidden in her eyes. Esmae was the regret of her life and her husband, but also Sophie felt most ashamed for.

"I didn't expect the Wilson family to have so many things happen back then. When we were studying in USA, she was still home. She only reported the good news to us. Arthur's father and I didn't know about her father's illness. If she had told..."

Lucia listened and felt that Sophie was deliberately avoiding the betrayal, but she couldn't question it to her face, so she looked down at Arthur, who understood her mind and helped her ask the biggest question,

"Mom, is it true you betrayed Esmae to be with Dad back then?"
