She Is A CEO

"Miss Powell, we don't need to drink. Thank you for your hospitality. Let's find a quiet place to finish our stuff. I don't like the smell of smoke." Juliana bluntly stated that she didn't like this kind of environment. Poppy raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and once again slandered Juliana for being ignorant, mocking her for being a bumpkin who had never seen the real world. Since Juliana was so straightforward, she didn't need to work hard to lay the groundwork and said hello to her friends. The three sat in the innermost place and talked about things in the loud music.

At Juliana's request, several bottles of coconut milk were placed in front of her. Poppy hid her sarcasm and asked Juliana, "You seem surprised that Arthur has a girlfriend, why? Didn't he tell you?" "No." Juliana replied, shaking her head. She was also very confused.

"You must be wondering why Arthur, your friend, doesn't tell you when he has a girlfriend..." Poppy talked to Juliana in her usual intriguing way, but she was interrupted soon after.

"Be straight. Don't hesitate." Juliana didn't like Poppy's way of speaking, as if there was something she couldn't say directly. She would be happy if she had to bury it and let she dig it herself. "Okay, you want it straight, so I'll make it clear." Poppy didn't feel Juliana was happy, but she thought that such a straightforward person would be easy to use, so she stared at her and said, "Because, his current girlfriend is a woman who was kicked out by her husband five years ago for cheating in marriage. And she has already lost all grace in Athegate. With such a girlfriend, I am afraid that even Arthur is not willing to publicize it."

Juliana raised her eyebrows in surprise. Would Arthur find such a woman as his girlfriend?

How could Arthur be so stupid? Impossible... Thinking of the smartest and calmest friend in the Davies family, she secretly thought that there was a reason for the incident, so she simply asked, "Is his girlfriend's background so complicated?"

"It's more complicated." Poppy sneered, suddenly raised her hand and took a wine glass on the table. Looking at the clear liquid in the glass, she was as if deep in memory, and began to tell the past events. "Arthur's current girlfriend is named Lucia. She's the daughter of the Webbex Group, a well-known Athegate company, and also my college classmate. She is arrogant and aggressive.

When I was in school, because I came from the countryside, I was always treated me like a slave. On the surface, I was her friend. In fact, she kept telling me to do everything behind the scenes. In the end, she stole my boyfriend Jacob."

Juliana heard what she said and had a slight smile. And she said casually, "You don't look like you would let other women steal your boyfriend."

The victim image that Poppy finally cultivated was ruined by Juliana's words. Although she was very displeased with her impoliteness, she quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Knight, listen to me first." "Well, I'm not going to interrupt." Juliana said flatly.

Poppy stabilized her emotions, continued to show her sad expression, and said,

"Jacob, I, and Kane are all from the same place. Jacob had been with me for a long time, but he didn't make it public because he was shy.

But Lucia clearly knew the relationship between us. She forced me to give Jacob to her, and even forced Jacob to marry her and made her father mad for it.

During that time, Jacob and I were both in pain. Even if she got Jacob through despicable methods, Lucia still didn't know how to cherish him and was eager to seek publicity. On the first wedding day after marriage, she was dating another man and was caught on the spot in the hotel. Later, she was kicked out by Jacob, and has since disappeared from Athegate."

Juliana had been listening to Poppy's story patiently. Although the lights were dim in the room, she always felt that the sadness on Poppy's face was deliberately created, so she asked, "Isn't Lucia the daughter of Webbex Group? Even if she cheated on her marriage, how could she be kicked out?"

Juliana came from a rich family. She knew the big family's maintenance of assets best. Although Poppy told her the past from the perspective of a victim, the most important point was how Jacob can kick Lucia out. Webbex Group fell into whose hands again.

"It should blame Lucia who thought herself clever. She recruited Jacob as a live-in son-in-law in her family, but she didn't trust him and she was afraid that he would snatch the Webbex Group. So she and her father worked out a will and stipulated that after marriage, within two years, whoever cheated will have to give up the Webbex Group, and all the assets will be owned by the victim. Lucia did not expect her to end up hurting herself."

Listening to Poppy's explanation, Juliana thought, if that was the case, wasn't that Lucia too stupid? Knowing that there was an agreement, she was still cheating in marriage? Even if she was really flirtatious, she can wait until two years, why...

However, Juliana just thought about it in her heart and didn't ask, but asked instead, "Then how can she be Arthur's girlfriend now?"

"That's a long story," Poppy suddenly changed her expression and said indignantly,

"At first we thought that Lucia would not come back after committing such a scandal, but we didn't expect that she actually returned to Athegate last year, and became the CEO of an international listed company, with a bastard.

"

It would be fine if she could keep her place when she came back. We didn't know what means she used to hook up with Arthur, and her immediate boss Eduard. And she makes troubles in Athegate. She not only confused Arthur and asked him to hold a press conference to admit her identity, to justify her affair that year, and secretly hook up with Jacob again. These were all filmed by reporters! After speaking, Poppy took out a magazine she had prepared earlier to report the bad news of Lucia.

Juliana glanced at those reports. The photos were clear, but she had no seen Lucia and Jacob, so the impact was not much, not to mention that as a scholar, she had always maintained a rigorous attitude towards facts. And entertainment magazines were good at adapting so she didn't immediately react to the reports, just stared Poppy and asked,

"So what does this have to do with me?"

Juliana directly asked the question.

Seeing that she finally got to the point, Poppy made a bitter gesture and said to Juliana, "Miss Knight, as a friend of Arthur, aren't you afraid that he will be used by Lucia?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Hearing this, Juliana finally understood the reason why Poppy tried to get in touch with her. She probably wanted to use her influence over Arthur to block his relationship with Lucia, but...she said to Poppy, "Arthur is an adult with independent thinking ability, not a child. Even if he is really used, he is willing to do it. What do you think I can change?"

Juliana's answer was by no means ruthless. Because she knew Arthur too well, he had always been independent and self-possessed, domineering and rational. As long as he believed in something, he will persist to the end, not to mention that she didn't really believe that Arthur will be used by others without knowing it.
