She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 565
Arthur had never forgotten what Lucia had said to him, affectionately and indignantly, and he remembered them often in the
middle of the night.
Sophie managed to suppress her excitement and said to Arthur,
“Arthur, do you think Lucia and Spencer have a reason to be together?”
Without knowing that the unborn child might be Arthur’s, Sophie might not have expected it, but once she did, other expectations
restored, even stronger.
“Well...” Arthur didn’t want to keep Sophie in the dark either. “I’ve confirmed with the man who claims to be Teddy’s donor that
he’s not the real donor,” he said.
“What?!” Sophie caught another bombshell!
Arthur smiled at his mother’s surprised tone and said, “I went to make sure of it myself.”
Sophie paused for a few seconds before saying, “Could it be that everything we thought was true, that Lucia was with Spencer
for Teddy?”
“I can’t be 100% sure, because I can’t find out who the real donor is. But Lucia definitely knows the truth. She chose to be
engaged to Spencer, maybe because of Teddy, maybe for other reasons. But all the evidence suggests that her relationship with
Spencer is definitely not about love.”
Arthur thought it over and decided not to tell his mother that Otis had sent someone to protect Lucia. He knew how much she
loved Lucia, and if he did, she would have made Lucia’s safety a priority. He can’t risk ruining Lucia’s plan.
Why being hurtful? Because Arthur couldn’t be sure of the truth, he could only speculate. Why he couldn’t help but toss and
turn? Because his heart ached for Lucia. If the speculation was true, how much courage and how much perseverance would it
take for her to leave him, leave Teddy and go to Spencer?
So Arthur never blamed Lucia, no matter when, no matter what.
“Why are you only telling me now, Arthur...” Sophie complained. She had been worrying about Arthur and Lucia for months, not
just herself, but her husband as well.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve been looking into these things,” Arthur said, feeling guilty that he had worried his mother,
“And it’s just speculation.”
Arthur was too cautious. Sophie sighed when she heard Arthur’s words. He could have asked Lucia as he wished, but he didn’t
want to interfere with her choice.
“So what are you going to do?” Sophie asked.
“Stay with her like this,” Arthur naturally spoke of the most difficult persistence in human nature, “No matter what happens.”
“You...” Arthur’s insistence moved Sophie and hurt her.
“By the way,” Arthur added, “Let’s not tell my dad about this yet. He’ll take the question of the offspring very seriously. I’m afraid
he’ll do something before it’s too late.”
No?
Sophie scowled and turned to her husband, Edwin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. But, she was on speakerphone with
Arthur.
“I see. I’ll keep it from him for now.” Sophie glared at Edwin, who was shaking his head, and decided to tell a little lie.
After a few more words with Arthur, Sophie looked at her husband and said, “You heard Arthur. He doesn’t want you to get
involved right now.”
“No way,” said Edwin. Having his arms crossed, he looked grim and was unable to hide the gleam of joy between his brows.
“That’s my grandchild!”
“Your grandchild is drawing in the study,” Sophie said helplessly. “Didn’t Arthur say it’s just a speculation?”
“It’s also based on fact,” Edwin said.
“But you have to worry about Lucia. She has her reasons for staying by Spencer’s side, and you’re only going to sabotage her
efforts so far, Edwin. Think twice,” Sophie advised.
Edwin thought for a moment, then looked up and said, “Okay, I’ll do it another way.”
Looking at her husband’s eyes, Sophie could only apologize to Arthur in her heart...
In the blink of an eye, winter was upon. Lucia was going out less and less because she was afraid of the cold, but relying on the
heat all day. Arthur’s coat was like a child’s blanket to her. She was going to give birth to the baby, waiting for the time.
Spencer stayed out of the building as promised, and they became an nominal couple. They hadn’t seen each other for a whole
month. Lucia was right under his nose, so he never sent someone to watch her, just so that Jack and the others could take care
of her.
But the outside world thought Lucia was living happily with Spencer.
But one day near the new year, Spencer suddenly walked into the yard.
Nick, one of the four guards, was wrapping a blanket around Lucia’s shoulders. As soon as he heard footsteps, he rushed out of
the living room and warned Lucia who was sleepy,
“Someone’s coming.”
Lucia opened her eyes, and there was no more languor in them.
“Looks like you’re doing well...” Spencer teased, half-jokingly, as he walked into the living room and saw Lucia lounging on the
sofa.
“Up until now, things were going really well,” Lucia said sarcastically.
Spencer raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite Lucia. He smiled and said, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to disturb your
life on purpose. I just have an event for you to attend.”
“An event?” Lucia thought of something Kane had mentioned to her the other day.
Recently, there was an investment company in Athegate that had emerged unnoticed and had boomed as soon as it went public,
earning huge returns on several investments.
It wasn’t exactly a surprise, but it was investing in the underdog sunset industry, and it turned out to be a bit of a surprise. The
sunset industry had seen a resurgence, and it caught the attention of the financial press. People were curious about the
company, claiming that the decision-maker had a unique vision and promising future, but the man’s identity was a secret and no
one had seen him until now.
A few days ago, the company seemed to have garnered enough attention that it suddenly extended an invitation to the upper
circles for a belated party to celebrate the company’s founding. It was something Kane could have handled on his own, but that
company’s staff called directly and hoped Lucia can participate, so she was aware of this matter.
