She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785 History Repeats Itself

Lucia stared at the figures in the darkness, quickly deciding what to do. Spencer, on the other hand, was a bigger threat to herself and to the baby. If running away with Casper, even if he wanted something else, at least it was not life-threatening.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lucia got up and got out of bed. She quickly grabbed her thick coat from the coat hanger and put it on her body. She bent over to pick up her daughter in the crib and said,

"Thank you for coming to save me. I will never forget this kindness if we are safe."

Casper was delighted to see that Lucia had been persuaded by him, but his face did not show it. He took a step forward and said,

"Let's go quickly. We know the way down the mountain. My bodyguard knows the terrain very well. Give the child to him. It'll make it easier for you to move around on your own, and we'll get out of here sooner."

As soon as she heard that Casper was about to hand her baby over to his man, Lucia's guard went up. She held her daughter tightly in her arms and insisted,

"It's OK. I'm physically fit and I can move around with the baby."

Casper clicked inside his cheek. He didn't expect Lucia to be so protective, but now was not the time to argue. He might have to look for another chance later.

"Well, if you don't feel up to it, then give me the baby, and we'll go now!"

Having said that, Casper ordered Leon to lead the way, and he escorted Lucia and the child all the way to the back. As he came down the stairs, Lucia saw several unconscious guards lying on the ground. The guards were supposed to be good, and she was surprised that Casper's men had ambushed them without alerting the others.

"Ms. Webb, let's go," Casper urged as Lucia stopped and looked at the guards.

Lucia nodded and quickly followed Casper with the child in her arms. She also saw the other subordinates that Casper had brought with him. The group of people looked like they were from the underworld. They looked like ruffians, but they were very similar to the people that Miles had trained.

"We've taken care of the people outside. We'll just have to return the way we came." Seeing that Lucia was unwilling to hand over the child, Leon secretly sighed in relief. Seeing that the rescue plan was going so smoothly, they also began to get excited.

"Play it safe." Casper, who was not a hothead, was still playing it safe.

They didn't let their guard down and headed for the door, but as soon as they got there, Leon noticed something was wrong. He stopped and said with some uncertainty,

"We just knocked out three guards at the door. Where are they?"

Everyone looked at each other. No one could answer. Casper's heart skipped a beat. When he saw Lucia looking at him, he quickly asked,

"Didn't you tow them away?"

"We just knocked them down. We didn't have time to drag them away..." Leon's eyes had completely changed. As he spoke, he looked at Casper in horror.

"Oh, no!" Casper immediately realized something was wrong. Without thinking, he shouted, "Run!"

Everyone was used to following Casper's orders. Once he gave the order, they all ran out of the door. However, before they could escape from the fence in the front yard, they stopped in their tracks and started to retreat one by one, and there was a look of horror on their faces.

Lucia felt like she was in hell. Did God really want to make it so difficult for her? Why was it helping Spencer?!

"Casper, you're a brave man. How dare you bring a few people with you to save her?" A mocking voice was heard from the front. Casper's face immediately turned pale when he heard that.
