She Is A CEO

“Lucia, do you know what you are talking about?” Arthur raised his hand and clasped Lucia’s hand on his collar.

“Of course, I know what I’m talking about. Juliana and Poppy conspired to set me up. You want to know where I was when I was missing for three days. Now I tell you. I was in the hospital!” Lucia couldn’t hide it anymore.

“Hospital?” Arthur’s anger faded a bit. The word ‘hospital’ touched his nerve. “Why were you in the hospital?”

“You should ask Juliana!” Lucia shouted.

She was not a saint. She would hold grudges against those who hurt her. Juliana and Poppy conspired and almost killed her. Though she was saved by Jacob, she had been suffering from the sequelae, like heartburn, headache, and nausea. Did Arthur think that she lived very well?

Lucia’s words were a provocation, shattering Arthur’s concerns for Lucia.

He frowned and said coldly, “Do you still think Juliana plotted everything?”

“Yes!” Lucia almost yelled.

“I see.” After they talked so many times, Arthur believed that Lucia was passing the buck, and he even felt Juliana’s statement more credible. Once trust issues arose, it would be impossible to solve them.

He pulled Lucia’s hand away and continued, “No need to talk about it anymore. That’s it.”

When her hand was pushed away, Lucia clearly saw the cold look in Arthur’s eyes.

She asked, “What about us?”

Lucia had been afraid of hearing him talk about breaking up, but now she felt it would be a relief.

“…” Arthur swallowed but said nothing.

“Let’s get everything settled today.” Lucia sneered, but only she knew how bitter she was.
