She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 910

Chapter 910 Backlash Starts

Nia was smart, and Libby, who had been with Miles for so many years, was not stupid. After a few polite words, she asked,
"Nia, since you're here on business, why don't you just come home?"
Nia smiled politely, thinking that Libby was pretty smart, so she said to her,
"Libby, I'm just passing by this time. I don't want to trouble you too much. I was going to leave today, but after much deliberation, I still want to talk to you about Casper."
"What's wrong with Casper?" Libby's heart skipped a beat. Her husband's recent abnormalities had already made her suspicious, and Nia's words made her even more uneasy.
"Libby, shall we have a face-to-face meeting?" Nia said.
"Where are you?" Libby asked quickly.
"I'll be waiting for you at the gate of Sand Cove Garden. Don't disturb Miles if you can. I want to chat with you first." Nia did not forget to say ir after announcing her location.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Libby was not sloppy at all when it was about her son, immediately hung up the phone, changed into her clothes and went downstairs.
"Mrs. Wood, where are you going?" Seeing Libby looking ready to go out, a butler asked her.
"I'm going out to meet a friend," Libby replied perfunctorily, "When Miles comes back in the afternoon, you will serve him for dinner first, and you don't have to wait for me."
"Okay, I'll arrange a driver right away." The butler respectfully sent Libby out the door.
In less than 20 minutes, Libby came to the gate of Sand Cove Garden. After seeing Nia standing next to an iconic sculpture from a distance, she asked the driver to go back first, and went to see her alone.
In the afternoon, Miles returned home and did not see his wife. After asking the butler, he got a message from Libby. Libby would often play cards with her friends all day long, and sometimes they would stay up all night playing cards. So he didn't think much about it. He ate, worked and rested by himself, and just passed the night like this.
It was already the afternoon of the second day when he found something was wrong.
"Ma'am hasn't come back yet?!" Knowing that Libby hadn't come back, Miles was startled. No matter how addicted she was to cards, it was impossible for her to play for 24 hours without going home.
"No," said the butler with a worried face, "I tried to call Madam's mobile phone, but it was always turned off. Sir... is there anything wrong?"
"Don't be anxious!" Miles was sophisticated and calm after all. He immediately ordered the butler to contact Libby's friends to ask her whereabouts, but unexpectedly, after searching in her circle, everyone answered that they had never seen Libby at all.
"Mr. Wood..." Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the butler quickly asked Miles, "Mrs. Wood must have had an accident. Do you want to send someone to look for her right away?"
"The person who can ask Libby out alone is definitely not a stranger." Although Miles was anxious in his heart, he did not lose his mind. He speculated for a moment and said,
"Contact Rhys and Billy."
"Mr. Wood, Rhys and Billy's phones are also turned off." Holding the phone and listening to the notification tone from inside, the butler told Miles with a frown.
"What?!" Miles couldn't sit still now. He stood up abruptly, and his face suddenly changed.
Rhys and Billy needed to listen to his orders at all times, so they cannot turn off their phones. Even if there was a problem with their phones, it was impossible for both of them to break down!
Problem occurred!
These words flashed through his mind, and Miles quickly took out his cell phone, and found the phone number labeled "son".
Apart from him, Miles couldn't think of another suspect.
Dialing the phone without hesitation, Miles held his breath and waited.
"Dad," after a while, Casper answered the phone, and a hoarse voice came. "Why did you call me?"
"Is your mother at your place?" Miles almost wanted to be straightforward, but reason told him not to be too impulsive for Libby's safety.
"Why is Mom here with me?" Casper laughed amusedly. "She will definitely tell me when she comes."
"You can tell from my tone that your mother is gone. Aren't you in a hurry?" Miles asked in a cold voice.
"Dad, you're going too far," Casper said, but his tone was leisurely, and he was really not in a hurry.
"She is my mother. I would be anxious if she disappears. But our family is rich and powerful. Who would dare to hurt her? Maybe she just went out to relax and didn't tell you."
"It's been twenty-four hours! And her phone is turned off!" Miles shouted anxiously.
"Oh... that's a little suspicious." Casper responded lightly.
"You really have something to do with this!" Miles immediately sensed that something was wrong, and his original passionate tone turned cold instantly.
"Dad, even if I say it's irrelevant..." Casper chuckled and said calmly, "Will you still believe me?"
When he was hearing this, Miles' eyes rounded with anger, and he couldn't answer for a while.
Casper didn't seem to mind his silence, and started again,
"By the way, I don't know where Rhys and Billy go today. Both of their mobile phones are turned off. Dad, did you call them back?"
"What the hell do you want!" He wanted to call him "Casper", but Miles didn't want to fool himself anymore!
"Dad," Casper ignored Miles' question and said instead,
"Since the establishment of StandHill, you haven't come to see my company in person. Would you like to come and see your son's result?"
Miles frowned. How could he fail to hear the hint in Casper's words?
"Okay, just wait!"
How could Miles be afraid of Casper! Angrily hanging up the phone, he immediately recruited the remaining two subordinates, and rushed to Athegate with a full force.
Casper put away his phone, then turned to look at Libby who was sitting on a sofa with a worried face.
"Casper, what's going on with you and your dad?"
"Libby, didn't I tell you?" Casper looked at Libby with a smile on his face, while Nia took Libby's arm and comforted her,
"There is a misunderstanding between Miles and Casper, but you know his temper, so Casper has no choice but to ask me to take you over."
Nia used this excuse to trick Libby into going back to Athegate obediently, and when she saw her son, she willingly turned off her phone.
"What kind of misunderstanding can there be between father and son?" Libby continued to stare at Casper with doubts and asked, "How did you make it so serious..."
"Mom, I don't know who provoked it, but since the last time I came home, he has treated me strangely, and even sent Rhys and Billy to watch over me. No matter how much I respect him, I still feel uncomfortable. Don't you ever doubt it?" Casper said aggrievedly.
