She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790 United

"I understand," Otis promised solemnly. "We will bring back good news."

This time, Esmae, Chris, Sophie and Edwin stood in front of and behind the couple and looked at them differently. Esmae was still a little uncomfortable, but she was no longer hostile to anyone. Sophie, on the other hand, praised their relationship.

"Look at Helena. She's a straight shooter. She's generous and chivalrous. She's really the kind of person who can keep Otis under control."

"Well, mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law," Edwin said gently.

Sophie glanced at Edwin coquettishly, thinking how wonderful it would be if she and Lucia could finally be her daughters-in-law!

A woman's mind couldn't be more sensitive. Esmae had changed, and she was aware of it.

Waiting Esmae, Chris and Helena leave, Edwin and Otis were ready to leave too, and Sophie was a little sad to part with her husband again. As she walked them to the door, she said,

"You have to be careful how you deal with Erik. They have the same temperament. When pushed, they only get crazier."

"I've figured it out. That's why I called Elliot back," Edwin had already thought that one thing led to another.

"You stay here and wait for Arthur. Mom, we'll be right back," Otis said.

"Okay," Sophie nodded, but they'd only just taken two steps when she realized she'd forgotten another important thing.

"By the way, Edwin, where's Teddy? Did you leave him alone?"

"Of course not. I called Bailey back and he's with him now," Edwin said to his wife with a gentle smile.

"Good, be safe," Sophie said, relieved.

By the time Arthur returned to the villa at 4 p. m. , Edwin and Otis had already arrived at Mokio. As soon as he returned, Arthur called his father, who had been his biggest influence. After talking with his father, Arthur was really not so lost, but that pair of purple eyes still had no warmth.

Sophie, seeing Arthur travel-worn, personally supervised his eating before asking him what had happened when he arrived at the villa.

Arthur, sitting on the sofa and looking down at something, seemed to have no focus at all and said in a low voice,

"By the time we got there, the villa was empty, and there was a lot of blood on the front yard and living room floor. It looked like there had been a violent fight. Casper's men told me which room the baby and Lucia had been held in, so I rushed up and went into the room..."

Arthur said this as if the words were stuck in his throat.

Sophie grimaced and held Arthur's hand, and Arthur said slowly,

"There are still traces of Lucia and the baby in the room. The sheets on the bed are not folded. The blanket on the crib beside the bed is still wrapped in the shape of the baby. There are a few small clothes beside the bed... but they are all gone."
