She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 562
“Lucia, I’m sorry,” Otis said in a low voice. His guilt feeling perhaps was deeper than Lucia’s direct disappointment,
“It was my plan that failed, and Jacob discovered it.”
Lucia wanted to say it was okay, but her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn’t speak for a long time.
After this incident, Jacob realized that even if he escaped to USA, he was still being hunted, and it would be difficult to find him
later.
“Spencer’s men didn’t get it, either,” Otis told Lucia after another pause.
“I don’t know if Spencer will continue to send men after Jacob,” Lucia said, with her eyes darkening when she heard Spencer’s
name,
“Otis, please keep going after Jacob. I’m afraid Spencer will find him first, and he won’t be able to take it easy on him.”
“Okay,” Otis said, “I’ll keep sending more people to look for him.”
Otis was also concerned about the chances of capturing Jacob. Growing up in the USA, Otis had always been part of a wealthy
family, but that didn’t mean he didn’t understand how complicated it was to find Jacob among so many people.
Thinking of this, Otis couldn’t help apologizing to Lucia again. He knew how disappointed Lucia was.
“It’s okay,” Lucia finally calmed herself down and replied softly, “Nothing can escape from justice. I believe that no matter how he
escapes, he will be caught one day.”
“Lucia...” Otis couldn’t bear it. “Since the situation has become like this, why don’t you just leave Spencer and go back to
Arthur?”
“I wish,” said Lucia, frowning, “But Jacob is alone in a foreign country,” she whispered. “He’s going to have to ask Spencer for
help, and he might be able to tell us where he is. I want to wait.”
If they waited any longer, she and Arthur will only suffer more.
Otis didn’t say it out loud because he knew Lucia knew it better than anyone.
He was impressed by Lucia’s courage and perseverance. Not everyone could resist the loneliness. She did it.
“Then you have to be more careful in the future. Protect yourself. Protect the baby.” Now, Otis can only exhort.
“Thanks, Otis,” Lucia sighed, and the two hung up.
Looking out the window of the sun which was covered by clouds, Lucia’s heart seemed also to be covered with a layer of haze,
lingering.
After the failed attempt to capture Jacob, Spencer continued to send his men to track him down, but compared to Lucia, he was
confident that soon after Jacob had squandered everything, he must come to seek his help.
Esmae followed through on her promise to Lucia and continued to work with Erik’s company. This time, Erik didn’t dare to do
anything wrong, so it was a “good” partnership. Erik saw the company’s profits rebound. At last he stopped blaming his son.
Spencer seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel again. Lucia was no longer accompanying him to events, but he had
already laid the groundwork for a big story. In front of outsiders, he said that his fiancee was in the middle and late stages of
pregnancy, so he let her have a good rest at home and take care of her by herself. At that moment, there was a lot of praise for
him.
It’d been half a month since Jacob’s escape, and he’d been holed up in a small town in California, working his way out of an
unassuming hotel room.
Spencer was wrong. Jacob was smart this time. He didn’t squander the fortune he’d extorted from him, but he was careful to
keep it safe. After all, to get revenge, he had to have strength. When he left his home country, he had something in reverse. It
wouldn’t be hard for him to get back on his feet, but he needed help.
Who can help him?
It was a question Jacob had been thinking about, and as he thought about it over and over again that afternoon, he came up with
a great idea, but it was a long shot.
With that in mind, Jacob took the risk of contacting Samuel first.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, when Samuel saw the foreign number again on the screen, he hesitated for a long time, but
Jacob didn’t stop and just kept calling.
Finally feeling annoyed, Samuel picked up the phone, “Didn’t I tell you not to contact me again? Do you have any idea how angry
Spencer is about you? It even affects me. Please let me go.”
Jacob paused for a moment, then realized that Spencer was blaming Samuel for what had happened to him, but instead of
giving up, he said slowly,
“Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m contacting you because I want you to help me connect with someone. I
won’t call you again after this.”
“Who?” Samuel asked without hesitation to get rid of Jacob.
Jacob smiled and knew it was done.
Someone who had suffered as much as Jacob, no, even more, and that person was Nia.
Nia had become the mistress that everyone in Athegate knew, and even if they weren’t in a hurry to harass her right now, she
wouldn’t be able to leave the house. When she did, wherever she went, she felt like people were judging her behind her back.
For the first time, Nia had been judged for her morality.
For more than a month, she had been staying at home like a zombie every day. She definitely did not dare to go back the
Webbex Group. At first, she tried to go back to the company, but as soon as she entered the lobby, she was unceremoniously
chased out by the security guards. Just as she was about to make a scene, Kane came out and ordered the security to dismiss
her. Nia was so humiliated that she had to run away.
When Nia got back, she wanted to call Spencer to complain, but Spencer was too busy trying to save his face and avoid her.
Although he didn’t block her, every call she made was rejected. Nia didn’t dare go to Spencer, and finally realized that he was
trying to save Lucia from damage instead of her.
Feeling extremely disappointed, she was not willing to accept it, but she chose it and can only suffer the consequences herself.
Just when Nia was feeling blue, an unexpected phone call caught her interest, and it turned out to be from Samuel.
“Samuel! Did Spencer tell you to contact me? Did he agree to meet me? !” Nia was so excited at first.
“No...” Samuel said. “There’s someone here who wants to meet you.”
