She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799 Arthur's speculation

"There's no hurry?" Erik wondered.

"No hurry..." Spencer replied complacently, deliberately leaving a suspense.

Lucia hadn't gone far enough...

Spencer's unexpected calm surprised everyone, but at this time the Amasun's assets had been frozen and Erik was directly on the wanted list.

"Arthur, have you figured out why Spencer hasn't done anything yet?" Otis finally asked Arthur, three days after the Amasun Group disaster.

Arthur nodded slightly, with heavy mood.

"Arthur, why?" Sophie, who had lost her composure, asked Arthur anxiously.

"Because Spencer is stalling." When Arthur couldn't answer, Edwin answered for him.

Otis's brows furrowed at once, and he looked concerned. Sophie, before she knew it, continued,

"Stalling?"

"The last time he hid Lucia and the baby in the mountain villa near the city, although he thought it was safe, Casper found it. So this time, he will send Lucia and the baby further away, at least for a short time won't let us find them," Arthur explained, and that was why he was in so much pain.

"How could it be..." Sophie's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little dizzy.

Edwin quickly put his arms around his wife's waist. He was full of consolation, but he couldn't say anything. The situation was indeed bad for them, for Lucia and the baby, and he wouldn't presume to know anything.

"Otis, I have a favor to ask of you," Arthur said suddenly.

"Speak," Otis said at once.

"Jack and the others are almost recovered from their injuries, and I need to stay here to discuss with Mr. Brown and Mrs. Brown the negotiations with Spencer. So I want you to take them to Lucia." Arthur's eyes sparkled and seemed to have guessed something.

Sure enough, Otis noticed immediately and pressed,

"Arthur, is there something on your mind?"

"It's a one-in-10, 000 chance, but it's the best guess for Spencer's behavior. It's not safe on land. He's not going to risk leaving Lucia and the baby anywhere where they might be found. Where do you think Lucia and the baby are going to be hard to get away from?" Arthur asked, looking at Otis.

"The sea!" Otis guessed at once.

"Yes," said Arthur, "It's the sea. Spencer must have taken Lucia and the baby away that day, and if he has gone all the way southward, they would have been the Orient Ocean, and he would have probably sent Lucia and the baby out to sea!"

The more Arthur talked about it, the more it seemed like a possibility, and even if it was small, he had to try!

"It certainly fits Spencer's style," Edwin said, echoing Arthur's speculation.

"If he sends Lucia and the child out to sea, even if Lucia could escape on her own, she would never risk taking the baby with her. His plan is foolproof!"

But it was also extremely insidious!

"What a wicked trick!" Sophie scolded.
