She Is A CEO

“It’s thanks to Poppy that we were able to hide it from Arthur,” Juliana said, remembering Poppy. “It seems like I’ve not heard from her for a long time.”

At the mention of Poppy, Kane frowned slightly. When Juliana looked at him, he looked as if nothing had happened and replied, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen her for a long time either.”

“Hmm.” Juliana responded, and stopped talking about it. They were snuggling together and enjoying cozy moments together.

At the same time, Poppy was in the room putting on heavy makeup. Later she would go with her friends for some fun. Recently Poppy had been in a bad mood. Without Kane helping ease her depression, she could only resort to drinking with those so-called good friends to intoxicate herself. Jacob, however, did not care about her. Poppy became more aggrieved

After putting on the most glamorous makeup on her face, Poppy got up, grabbed her bag and headed to the door of the mansion. Just when she walked to the doorway, she bumped into Jacob who was coming home.

Jacob just looked at Poppy and then walked inside. Poppy gritted her teeth and called out to him, “Jacob, don’t you bother to ask me where I’m going now?”

Jacob rolled his eyes and turned back around, asking, “Where are you going?”

Jacob obviously didn’t want to talk to her. Poppy stomped her feet, glared at him and turned away without looking back. Jacob did not feel guilty at all, but was relieved. Just now he was afraid that Poppy would pick on him again.

He was getting more disgusted with Poppy, so he did not go back to their room to sleep now. Every night, he would either fool around outside or go home to sleep in the study. His desire for Lucia was getting stronger.

The news of Arthur and Juliana’s engagement had long been spread through the whole Athegate. Jacob had been waiting for the right time to ask Lucia out to meet him, and he felt Arthur’s engagement provided a rare chance for him to persuade her. Of course, he was smart enough to wait for ten days, during which he believed that Lucia’s hatred for Arthur was building up. Then he could get her in one fell swoop.

Today, Poppy went out. Jacob called Lucia right away and threatened her to meet him in the college town.
