My Mommy Is A CEO

When Eduard was thinking about how to call Lucia, Lucia looked up and saw Eduard who had walked to the sofa.

She raised her eyebrows and stood up, saying, “I’m sorry, Eduard. I didn’t notice you coming in.”

“Never mind. I snuck in on purpose.” Eduard gave Lucia a signature smile and looked both gentlemanly and boyish.

He sat down on the sofa and said to Lucia, “Lucia, come here and have a chat.”

Lucia walked over and sat down next to Eduard.

She didn’t disguise herself, so Eduard could see her frustration and uneasiness at a glance.

Eduard was happy because it meant that she was willing to be her true self in front of him. It was a good thing for him.

“What happened between you and Arthur?” Staring at Lucia’s pretty side face for a while, Eduard cut to the chase.

“We broke up,” Lucia replied in a calm voice. There was no need to hide it.

“Broke up?” Eduard was surprised.

Lucia nodded.

“Why?” Eduard asked in disbelief.

Arthur hadn’t had any affairs for so many years. After falling in love with Lucia, he held a press conference to announce her identity. Everyone could see that he was very serious. But why did they break up?

“Eduard, I always want to ask you one thing. What happened after Juliana and I left that night?” Lucia didn’t answer his question but raised a new one.

“That night? The charity event?” Eduard asked.

“Yep.” Lucia nodded firmly.

“Well…” Eduard recalled it and said, “You went to the lady’s room with Juliana but didn’t come back after a long time. When I was about to look for you, Juliana appeared and told me that you were drunk and resting in the hotel room. She needed me to help send you home, but when we went to the room, there was no one inside and you were not there. Then we went to look for you separately.”

“Really?” Lucia smiled. As expected, Juliana was pretending to be innocent.

So, Juliana should be the one that spiked the warm water with hallucinogens

Juliana wanted to drink warm water but required her to drink it to test the water temperature. It was so absurd. But she didn’t suspect Juliana at all at that time.

“Well, where did you go that night? I asked you before, but you didn’t tell me.” Eduard asked Lucia anxiously when he thought of it.

Eduard was the witness to the incident. Lucia felt that there was no need to hide it from him, so she answered bluntly, “I was drugged. Jacob saved me, and I stayed in the hospital for three days and almost died from an overdose of hallucinogens. I owe Jacob a favor for this.”

“What?” Eduard was so shocked that he almost jumped up. “You were drugged with hallucinogens?”

“If Jacob hadn’t saved me and you had appeared, what do you think would have happened?” Lucia smiled at Eduard and said in a cold voice.

Eduard had seen a lot of such dirty tricks. Without thinking, he replied, “Both of us would have been set up.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“That’s right.”

“Damn it! Who the hell is so vicious?” Eduard stood up excitedly and used foul language.

“The night before the charity event, Juliana came to me. She said she had a crush on you and wanted to meet you. She asked me to take her to the charity event. Who do you think did all this?” Lucia sneered and asked.

Eduard figured it out in an instant. He sat down and asked Lucia, “Why did she do that?”

“Because of Poppy. I found that she was with Kane, Poppy’s lawyer. I’m afraid that Poppy was behind this.”

Eduard’s faith in her reassured her, so she didn’t intend to hide anything from Eduard.

“It’s her…” Poppy’s face with heavy makeup came to Eduard’s mind. He felt like vomiting, but he asked Lucia with concern instead, “But what does it have to do with your breakup with Arthur?”

“Juliana and Poppy have planned it from the very beginning. According to their plan, Juliana attends the charity event with me. In the evening, when the two of us drink some wine, she drugs me and sets me up to have sex with you, so as to ruin Arthur’s trust in me. Unfortunately, Jacob saved me and ruined their plan. When Juliana and you found I was missing, she and you went to look for me separately, but she met several hooligans… Then she was…”

Lucia couldn’t say that word, but Eduard could guess it. He asked cautiously, “Was she raped?”

“Yes,” Lucia nodded hard. “So Arthur has been taking care of her since he came back from a business trip. I didn’t know about it until I went to see him after I left the hospital. But Juliana told Arthur that I got drunk that night and asked her to get a hotel room for me, and she got raped on the way to look for me. Who do you think Arthur will trust, me or Juliana?”

“On one side is his childhood friend, and on the other side is his beloved woman… It’s so hard for him.” As a man, Eduard could understand the inner struggle of Arthur.

“I know that, so I didn’t force him to make a choice immediately. But he thought I made up the story to avoid responsibility for Juliana when I told him Juliana was involved with Kane…” Lucia smiled bitterly and couldn’t continue.

“This is too much!” Eduard said indignantly.

When he saw the sad look in Lucia’s eyes, he soothed her, “Lucia, don’t worry. I’ll go to Arthur to deal with it. I can testify that Juliana set you up that night!”

“Do you think it will work?” Lucia turned to Eduard and asked.

There was a silence.

“You are my friend, and Juliana is Arthur’s confidant. Do you think he will believe your words?” Lucia said the final result straightforwardly, “He will think you are making up a lie to cover up mine. By then, you will also get into this mess.”

Hearing this, Eduard raised his fist and smashed it on the sofa. The fact that he couldn’t help Lucia made him indignant.

“We had a few quarrels over it. We had no choice but to break up.” Lucia said in a self-mocking tone.

“But you can’t be falsely accused!” Eduard felt sorry for Lucia.

“Now I have no other way to prove I am telling the truth. Arthur and I took Juliana to the hotel to check the surveillance video, but the footage was deleted. It is evident who did it,” said Lucia

“How merciless Poppy is!” Eduard said through gritted teeth.
