She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Conflict Breaks Out

At that moment, Chris, who heard a quarrel downstairs, appeared on the stairs. He was surprised to see Otis and hurried down.

"Esmae, what are you arguing about?" Chris entered the living room, nodded discreetly to Otis and asked Esmae to defuse the tension between them.

"Nothing," Esmae, aware of Chris' intention to favor Lucia, was also very cold towards him. She turned around and said,

"It's just an unexpected visitor at home. He'll be gone in a minute."

Chris was about to open his mouth when he heard an exclamation at the top of the stairs. "Otis! What are you doing here?!"

When Otis heard the familiar voice, he looked up and saw Helena in her pajamas, looking at him in surprise.

Originally, Helena also heard the noise of the quarrel in the living room, so she came over to check on the sound and even saw the most unlikely person at home, Otis.

"Go to your room right now!" The last thing Esmae wanted was for Otis to meet Helena, and she yelled at her daughter.

But the man she loved was right in front of her, and Helena hesitated to leave.

Esmae grew angrier.

"Helena," Otis said loudly, ignoring Esmae, and knowing that Helena would help if she knew about Lucia's condition.

"Spencer is holding Lucia and the baby somewhere, and now only Ms. Wilson can find them. I'm here for help."

Esmae couldn't stop Otis, so she turned around and glared at him angrily.

Helena wasn't the only one who was shocked to hear what Otis said, but Chris.

Helena couldn't think of anything else to say. She ran down the stairs and around the coffee table to Otis. She grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Otis, are you telling the truth?"

Before Esmae could stop Helena, her husband by her side spoke in a deep voice,

"Esmae, what the hell is going on?"

Esmae had never seen her husband look at her so doubtfully. She had scruples, so she ignored Helena for a moment and explained,

"It wasn't as serious as Otis said. Lucia tried to run away to Arthur, but Spencer found out, so he took her and the baby to another place for a while."

Esmae didn't know the full story, but just guessed what was going on.

"Mom, isn't this serious?!" Helena was very upset with her mother's attitude, "You know the word 'run' ," she snapped. "That means you know Spencer is a psychopath. Can you guarantee he won't hurt Lucia and the baby?"

"Shut up! It's not your turn to talk!" Esmae stopped her daughter, but couldn't stop her husband from questioning her.

"Esmae," There was disappointment in Chris' words,

"Don't you think this is serious? Spencer's actions are against Lucia's wishes. This is an illegal act of imprisonment. How can you turn a blind eye to what he's doing?!"

When Esmae heard this, she felt aggrieved. She had only just found out about it, and she wasn't going to ignore it. She wasn't as heartless as they said, but.. she must never reveal her true feelings to Otis!

Her stubborn temper was hard to shake. Esmae glanced at Otis out of the corner of her eye and retorted,
