She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 730

Chapter 730 The Right Thing to Do

Shawn had stayed here to run the business for Chris. He knew all about shipping, and his investigation would spare Esmae a lot of paranoia.

"Shawn! I can ask you to do it too!" Lucia said excitedly.

"Is it important?" Shawn asked.

"Is anyone around?" Lucia asked.

"Just me," Shawn replied. There was really a meeting, but he was answering his mother's phone as he stood alone in the hallway outside the conference room.

"Recently, Spencer..." Lucia told Shawn exactly what she and Arthur had discovered, and when she was done, she added,

"Shawn, what do you think is going on here?"

Shawn, cold as he was, had a lively and intelligent mind, and he immediately responded,

"I can't tell you what Spencer is doing right now, but his routes are definitely related to the freight business. He's deliberately avoiding us because there are two times and places in between where mom and I are, but Spencer has never visited. That's not like him."

Lucia nodded in agreement and said to Shawn, "Shawn, can you please look into this? I have a feeling Spencer is up to something."

"Sure, I'll look into it, even if you don't. Spencer's behavior is so suspicious," Shawn agreed immediately.

Lucia was relieved. However, she did not forget to remind him, "This matter can not be mentioned to her for the time being. You know that she always hopes that Spencer and I can get along peacefully. If she knows that I am secretly investigating him, she would not be happy."

"Don't worry. I'm on your side," Shawn said readily.

"Shawn, thank you..." Lucia was really grateful that someone as serious as Shawn was doing the research.

"Family, don't be too polite," said Shawn.

Lucia smiled and was about to say something when she heard Esmae's voice on the other end of the phone. She wanted to continue listening when the call was cut off. Lucia's hands tightened in disappointment.

In fact, she just wanted to say a word to her...

"Shawn, what were you talking to her about for so long?" Esmae asked, standing in front of the conference room, and staring at her eldest son.

Though she sounded accusatory and even used the word "she" instead of Lucia's name, Esmae did care about what she had said when she called her.

"Nothing," said Shawn, who hung up the phone to prevent Lucia from hearing any potentially hurtful words. He handed the phone back to his mother and said,

"Just checking in on your health and dad's."

"She cares about us?" Esmae sneered. She took the phone and unconsciously lit up the screen, glancing at Lucia's call history.

Shawn couldn't help but laugh when he noticed that she was still thinking about Lucia.

"Mom, you know Lucia respects you and dad the most. How could she not care about you?" Shawn said without hesitation.
