She Is A CEO

She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 596

In the dimly lit room, Lucia slept on her side, with the heat on, so she was covered only with a thin blanket. And her bulging belly was visible.

She was still frowning in her sleep, because in the late stage of pregnancy, almost every pregnant woman would suffer when sleeping. They had difficulty in turning over and Lucia was no exception, but there was a slight discomfort between her brows. Her expression was calm and peaceful.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly as if she was waking up. Although her beautiful face was much rounder, it was still exquisite. Her pink lips were not covered in any lipstick, and the natural lustre was even more attractive. Suddenly her lips curved, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then she woke up.

When she opened her eyes and saw Arthur sitting beside her, Lucia thought for a moment that she was still dreaming.

No wonder Lucia thought she was in a dream. Although Arthur was devoted to her, he never entered her room alone and sat by her bed.

The dim light made it even harder to tell what was real and what wasn’t. Lucia blinked and raised a hand toward Arthur, who held it in mid-air.

Lucia, this was not a dream!

He was holding her hand. It was very warm.

“Lucia, I’m sorry…” before Lucia could recover from her surprise, Arthur gently squeezed her palm and said in a small voice.

“Hmm?” Lucia wasn’t sure what she was hearing. Was Arthur apologizing to herself?

Looking into Lucia’s misty eyes as she awoke, Arthur looked deeply at her, then let go of her hand and stood up,

“It’s 7:00. Do you want to get up for dinner?”

“Oh…” until Arthur walked out the door, Lucia did not realize what had happened.

When she came downstairs for dinner, Lucia felt that everyone was looking at her strangely, and their brows furrowed slightly when she watched them.

She won’t restrain her thought, so she asked at the table,

“What’s going on? You’re looking at me strangely.”

As soon as Lucia said this, they turned their heads not to look at her, but at a glass of water or a plate, with nobody saying anything.

Lucia was now quite sure that something had happened during her afternoon nap, and just as she was about to ask, Sophie smiled lovingly and said,

“Lucia, you’re overthinking it. I have stewed the soup for a long time today. You should drink more.”

Lucia paused for a few seconds, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of them. She lowered her head and started eating. However, the moment she lowered her head, everyone turned back to look at her. There was gentleness in everyone’s eyes. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Thousands of miles away, a group of people suddenly broke into a suburban mansion in California. The servants were screaming and hiding everywhere, while the two leading men held a teenage boy in their hands and dragged him forward.

“My God, what happened. Who are you…” A lavishly dressed hostess ran down the stairs and shouted loudly. However, after she saw the men in the lead, her voice suddenly disappeared. Her face also changed into a very frightened expression.

“Vida, so hard to find…” The two men in the lead were Erik and Spencer, and this was the mansion that Erik’s former mistress, Vida had just bought.

As soon as Vida heard Erik’s voice, she looked at her red-faced son, who had been strangled by Spencer, and collapsed on the stairs.

“How is it? Are you comfortable living in the mansion you bought with the money you stole from me?” Erik asked Vida, who was shaking from head to toe.

“Erik, I didn’t mean to… I…” Vida immediately begged for mercy, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a cry for help. It turned out that Spencer had increased his strength, and Vida’s son was screaming in pain.

“Erik, I beg you, leave Martin alone…” Vida begged.

“Tell me, who did you sell the shares to? Who put you up to this?” Spencer didn’t want to hear the old woman’s side of the story. He just wanted an answer.

“I…” Vida stammered, unable to say a word. Her eyes were flickering with guilt.

Spencer shot Vida a cold look and stretched out his hand to the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard immediately handed him a gun. Spencer pointed the muzzle of the gun at Martin’s head. The boy was so scared that he did not dare to move. The sweat on his forehead dripped down. Vida, on the other hand, screamed directly.

“Say it or not?” Automatically ignoring Vida’s screaming, Spencer’s voice was cold without the slightest softness.

“Erik!” Terrified, Vida screamed, “You can’t do this to me! If you kill Martin, the police will come after you!”

“The police?” Erik sneered. His eyes were as cold as his son’s,

“You think I’m afraid of the police? Vida, don’t you know what I’m capable of?”

Vida’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Yes, she knew how cold this man was, especially when she had already violated his interests…

Spencer, impatient and fed up with Vida’s hesitation, pressed the gun to Martin’s head and started counting down,

“Three… two…”

“I’ll say!” Vida shouted.

“Why didn’t you just cooperate?” Spencer sneered as he threw Martin, who had collapsed, to the bodyguard behind him. He stared at Vida and said,

“Say it.”

“In the beginning, I really wanted to marry you and live happily ever after,” said Vida, whimpering as she explained what happened,

“But more than a month ago, a rich man came to me. He said Amasun Group had interfered a lot of his business. As long as I could get him 10% of the shares, he would not only double down on the shares, but also give me five million more dollars. I hesitated for a long time. I didn’t want to betray you at all,

but one night soon after, I went to look for you and found that you and Nina are involved again. I couldn’t bear it, and I thought that since it was only ten percent of the shares, and he wouldn’t do anything even if he got it, so I just….”

“You’re greedy. You asked me for 15 percent,” Erik sneered.

“I wanted 10% at first… 15% from you…” Vida said pitifully.

“Shut up!” Erik was furious. “Who do you think you are? You’ve been with me for so long, and you already know I have another woman. I’ve already showed you respect by making you my wife. After all, it’s all about money, isn’t it?”
