My Mommy Is A CEO

“So what? You just came back with no scruples and no purpose?” Jacob couldn’t believe that Lucia only returned to Athegate because of homesickness, knowing that under his and Poppy’s defamation, Lucia had already been infamous in Athegate right now. Lucia would also be used as a negative example of adultery.

“Why can’t I?” Lucia lowered her eyes and responded coldly.

Every word of What Lucia said was true, but Jacob was just being a villain.

Although she had hatred for Jacob, and taking back the Webbex Group was a plan she had yet to implement, her return to China this time was indeed a coincidence. The offer from Jibillion Inc itself was originally beyond her expectation, and even the city where she would work was out of her control before. Since she had the chance to come back home, Lucia wouldn’t hesitate, let alone scruple Jacob and Poppy.

Because this was her home!

This was Lucia’s most honest answer.

“Okay, of course!” Jacob sneered and sarcastically said. “As soon as you came back, you became the CEO of Jibillion Inc. You have a close relationship with Eduard, and now Arthur is deeply in love with you – don’t you say that all these happen is just going with the flow, and there would be no threat to JTP Group!”

The most helpless thing in the world was probably arguing with a madman.

Lucia really wanted to take a deep sigh, but since Jacob was so wary of her presence, it meant that he was worried that she would dig up what had happened in the past five years ago. Besides, she could see that JTP Group was not without flaws now. If he had nothing to lose, there was no need to guard her everywhere.

Lucia showed a rare sly smile and deliberately stared into Jacob’s eyes and said, “Why, are you afraid?”

Lucia was clearly provoking Jacob. Anyway, even if she didn’t deliberately target JTP Group, Jacob would still keep creating trouble for her because of his suspicion. Wasn’t he and Poppy the ones who planned the scandal ten days ago?

“You!” Jacob didn’t expect Lucia would say such a thing, so he didn’t know what to say for a while to fight back.

“If you are afraid, then you can go ahead and play all the schemes and tricks to attack me. Anyway, justice will prevail. What happened ten days ago has proved this. If you are not afraid, then you should sit in the chairman’s office of your JTP Group and worry about all of the things you’ve got ‘with great difficulty’ – don’t you worry about what I might do all day long.”

Lucia stared at Jacob fearlessly, warning him coldly.

Jacob was extremely angry, but his thoughts calmed down, “Lucia, it seems that you have made a lot of progress in these years…”

Jacob looked at Lucia, saying these meaningful things.

“I do,” Lucia answered without hesitation. “I have grown a lot – now I can read people well, and I can tell good from the bad.”

The only ironic side of Lucia in her life was probably all given to Jacob.

This time, Jacob was pressed once again.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

It was obvious that he came to question her purpose of returning to China, but now it seemed that he was losing ground and being ridiculed by her everywhere. Jacob knew very well that such an argument was meaningless, and the most sensible move now was to stand up and leave proudly. However, he just couldn’t move his body or move his steps.

The two of them fell silent again.

Lucia’s patience slowly faded over time. She thought Jacob could say something weighty this time, but now it seemed that she had overestimated him. This kind of dialogue was like a childish argument, meaningless and disturbing.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Lucia asked indifferently, looking away at the crowd outside the window.

Nothing. Jacob didn’t know what to say anymore. He didn’t have any confidence to deal with Lucia now, but he was unwilling to accept the fact that he was defeated and had to flee. And he seemed to remember something, and the corner of his mouth raised a vicious smile, so he spoke.

“By the way, you still have something important left with me.”

Something important?

After hearing this, Lucia turned around and happened to see the smug smile on Jacob’s face. For a moment, she couldn’t figure out what Jacob was talking about.

Seeing Lucia’s face full of doubts, Jacob became even more complacent, feeling that he had finally pulled a game back, and he slowly said.

“Did you forget what your mother left behind?”

Bracelet! And a ruby necklace!

Lucia’s starry eyes widened suddenly, and her memory was instantly pulled back to the scene five years ago when Jacob stepped on his mother’s relic and threatened her to sign the divorce agreement.

Seeing that Lucia finally had something other than indifference in her eyes, even if it was hatred, Jacob was overjoyed.

“It looks like you haven’t forgotten.” Accepting Lucia’s fierce and vivid hatred directly, Jacob deliberately said. Eduard was right, any other man might be able to pursue Lucia without any scruples, but only himself, could make her never forget himself, even if this profoundness came from hatred.

Jacob was complacent at this time, not realizing how perverted his subconscious thoughts were.

Lucia glared at Jacob, her calmness was completely torn apart. Five years ago, Jacob used his mother’s relics to threaten her to sign the divorce agreement. After signing, not only did he kick the ring into pieces, but he did not return the ruby necklace.

He just promised not to damage it anymore. At that time, she had no choice but to do whatever it took to protect it. Over the years, this necklace had always been a concern in Lucia’s heart.

It was obviously a beautiful thing left to her by her mother, but it could witness the most unbearable moment in her life.

“Give it back to me,” Lucia said word for word, hatred slashing at Jacob like a knife.

“Of course you can.” Jacob readily agreed, ignoring Lucia’s gaze, but his eyes flashed and he said slyly, “But not now.”

He finally remembered what could threaten Lucia, and there was no way he would hand it over easily.

“Conditions.” Lucia didn’t want to waste her time with Jacob.

“Conditions?” Jacob laughed, “Actually, it’s not really a condition. I have what you want in my hands, but I won’t touch it. I just want you to come out and see you no matter what time, under any circumstances, whenever I make a phone call.”

Of course, Jacob knew that he could make more demands having her mother’s relic in his hand, and it was not impossible to ask her to leave Athegate immediately. But instead, he was more concerned about the fact that he could not reach Lucia before, and he just wanted her to be on call!

Lucia couldn’t help but sneer when she heard Jacob’s words.

“Do you think I’ll agree?” she asked rhetorically.

“You don’t have to,” Jacob continued with a false smile. “That necklace means nothing to me anyway, and it takes nothing to destroy it.”

Hearing so, the anger and hatred in Lucia’s starry eyes burned even more, but… she really couldn’t renounce her mother’s relics.
