She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 Make A Mockery

Lucia survived this crisis without any risk, and easily won everyone's understanding. Casper, who had been watching her explanation from the audience, had a gloomy face. He thought it was a "surprise" specially prepared by Leon this time. It will definitely make Lucia lose face, but he didn't expect...
"You didn't expect her to recover so quickly, did you?" Casper frowned and stared at Nia beside him.
Nia didn't know it. Her eyes were still looking at the star-studded Lucia on the stage, but she kept saying,
"Aren't you implying that he might be in the country by doing this?"
Hearing this sentence, Casper looked around nervously, and after making sure that no one noticed what Nia said, he secretly reached out and grabbed her wrist, and squeezed her tightly.
"Nia, are you mocking me now?!"
"You hurt me!" Nia frowned and tried to shake off Casper's grip, but she couldn't break free at all, so Nia expressed her thoughts directly,
"Did I say something wrong? You keep telling me that you don't have feelings for Lucia anymore, but you don't calm down when it's her birthday. Do you want to embarrass her by sending her late cherry blossoms, or do you want her to remember the good old days of yours?!"
Looking at Nia who was jealous, Casper couldn't answer a word.
Nia looked very disappointed, and she couldn't help but said, "Libby keeps praising Lucia when we come here tonight. As my boyfriend, you don't even want to say a word for me. Don't you really forget her?"
Casper still didn't say a word, but let go unconsciously.
Nia stared at him blankly, and after he chose to remain silent, she threw off his shackles, turned around and walked towards the corner.
Casper watched Nia hide among the guests, and gritted his teeth secretly.
It seemed that he was really not calm.
Lucia had just come off the stage, and Otis and the others were waiting for her in the audience.
After knowing what happened from Arthur, Sophie couldn't help asking Lucia with concern,
"Lucia, are you really okay?"
Lucia held Arthur's hand tightly, smiled comfortingly at Sophie and said, "Sophie, I'm really fine. I just saw those flowers suddenly just now... I'm a little excited."
Lucia now only felt that she was sorry for Arthur, and even revealed the idiocy she had towards Jacob before, not knowing how uncomfortable Arthur was when he was ignored by her just now.
His palm was held by Lucia, and the palm was pressed unconsciously by her thumb. Arthur raised the corners of his lips. He couldn't interfere with the past years, but he would never lose to those false memories.
"That's good. We were too worried just now." Esmae said to Lucia with a sigh of relief.
"Auntie, don't you know me yet?" Lucia smiled and said, "My biggest wish now is to catch Jacob and give myself and Poppy justice. I acted recklessly just now, but I have calmed down."
"Since that's the case, do you want to send someone to track down the sender of the flowers?" Edwin mused to the side.
"Jacob acts cunningly, and there will be no clues," Arthur replied. "But I can be sure that there must be someone in the country who will respond to him."
"Arthur, find that person as soon as possible, and don't let Lucia get hurt again." Edwin solemnly told his son.
"Of course." Arthur nodded sharply, and looked in Casper's direction together with Lucia.
Although there was an episode that night, it did not affect the atmosphere of the dinner. On the contrary, it made everyone have another understanding of Lucia, who had always been strong and powerful, especially those who regarded her as an alternative woman in the circle of celebrities. They saw the out-of-control side of Lucia, and realized that she was not just a cold and strong strong woman, but also irrational, impulsive and fragile, just like them, so they developed a lot of good feelings.
Human nature was so complicated.
When the dinner was over and the guests left the venue, everyone not only gave Lucia another blessing when they said goodbye, but also frequently cared about her condition, which was no less enthusiastic than when the dinner started.
Seeing that more and more guests were coming, even if Casper didn't want to look displeased, he still had to go to Nia who was having a fight with him. He still wanted to show Lucia and the others the harmony on the surface.
Unexpectedly, after walking around, Casper guessed that Nia had found the Miles couple at some point, and the three were chatting at this time. Libby didn't seem very happy, so he hurried over.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
When Libby saw Casper approaching, she quickly held his hand and asked worriedly,
"Casper, how are you feeling now?"
Casper raised his eyebrows and looked at Nia, questioning in his eyes: what did she say to her?
Sensing Casper's gaze, Libby quickly spoke for Nia.
"Don't blame Nia. She accidentally slipped the tongue. Casper, why have you been hiding it from me?"
Casper didn't dare to speak easily.
"If you get pneumonia, you should take a good rest. I see you working hard at the company every day and think you are in good health. You're really... why cover up this matter because I'm worried? You should take a rest, you know? I won't go back for the time being, until you recover."
Hearing this, Casper realized that Nia had made up the story of his illness in order to hold Libby back. His eyes gradually softened, and it seemed that he had misunderstood her.
Seeing that Casper was no longer staring at her, Nia gave him an aggrieved look. As if she was crying, she was extremely pitiful.
Casper put on a smiling face in an instant, put his arms around Nia's waist affectionately, and said to Libby,
"Mom, I'm afraid that you will worry."
"Silly boy, do you know that your body is the most important thing?" Libby said happily.
Next, Casper and Libby staged a mother-child love scene with excellent acting skills, and Miles, who was watching coldly, mocked in his heart.
When more than half of the guests left the venue, Casper suggested that it was time to go home, so the group of four went to say goodbye to Lucia.
When welcoming guests before, there were only Lucia and Arthur in front of the flower gallery. When seeing off guests, almost all friends and relatives were there, and only three elders sat not far away to take care of Theodore and the baby.
When Casper was coming over, there was no need to shout slogans, but everyone saluted the four of them in unison, and the smile on Casper's face almost couldn't hold back when he saw this.
