My Mommy Is A CEO

“You always lose temper when things don’t go your way. Do you think you’re the only one in a bad mood? I was angry, too.” Jacob gritted his teeth and glared at Poppy.

Poppy was shocked at Jacob’s words. She took a secret look at his face. And sure enough, Jacob got really angry. Jacob had spoiled her for years, and she had almost forgotten that he also had a temper.

“Jacob…” Poppy’s voice suddenly softened. Although she was angry, Jacob’s anger was more serious. She quickly calmed down and sat down beside Jacob and said, aggrieved.

“I just didn’t think it would turn out the way it did…”

Jacob looked at Poppy’s wronged eyes, saw her surrender, and sighed deeply.

“It’s not just you who has to deal with this. It’s also me. It’s us. I’m as anxious as you are. Maybe we underestimated Arthur and Eduard’s protection of Lucia at the beginning. It’s not worth it to offend both Davonnis Corp and Jibillion Inc.

“But we have nothing to fear. Although Arthur induced public opinion to suspect Lucia’s affair, it was just a suspicion. They didn’t have anything to prove, so it was difficult to clarify what happened five years ago.”

“That’s right…” Poppy kept nodding her head. They didn’t need to worry that much, especially when their companies were strong enough to not worry about Davonnis Corp and Jibillion Inc.

“It’s just, after this incident, we’d better be careful in the future, in case they do something behind our back.” Measuring the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men. That was what Jacob was thinking at this point.

“Jacob, if Lucia is really using Arthur and Eduard against us, then we…” Poppy thought of that, of course. She clutched Jacob’s arm nervously, frowning.

Jacob looked sideways at Poppy. Now he also wanted to know how to solve the problem!NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The first thing they had to find out was why Lucia came back to Athegate. Indeed, Arthur was not lying at Davonnis Corp’s press conference. Lucia didn’t know Eduard before she came back and had no connection with Arthur, so Poppy’s idea that she would use the two to take down or even take back the enterprise didn’t work.

After all, you never knew who you were going to meet. But Jacob wouldn’t believe that she would return unprepared to a city that left her with nothing.

It seemed that he needed to see Lucia again, alone.

Thinking of this, Jacob looked away at Poppy. Subconsciously, he desperately suggested to himself that he had this idea for JTP Group, not because he was expecting it!

Poppy looked at Jacob’s thoughtful face. Suddenly, she realized that she could not understand the man.

In the evening paper, all the media and magazines that participated in Davonnis Corp’s launch gave a true account of the event. For a time, the public opinion of Athegate was divided into two groups.

On one hand, some people were annoyed at themselves for not knowing the truth, attacking Lucia casually and reflecting on her affair five years ago.

On the other hand, some people thought that Lucia must have taken advantage of Arthur to make him turn right and wrong and clear her up. A lot of people were arguing.

But no matter what, Arthur’s relationship with Lucia was a sure thing.

Sophie did not know this until she returned to the Athegate with Theodore in the evening. She read the negative reports and Davonnis Corp.’s announcement. After Theodore was asleep, she talked to Lucia and Arthur in the living room.

She did not confirm or deny Arthur’s direct use of executive power as president to clarify the rumors for Lucia at Branch of Davonnis. “Lucia, come to New York with us this Christmas.”

“What?” Sophie’s sudden offer surprised Lucia.

It was early December. Winter was coming, and Christmas was coming too. Edwin and his family still maintained the domestic tradition, which was engraved in their bones and could not be discarded easily.

But they have also adopted Western rituals and Christmas was just as important to them. Sophie wanted Lucia and Theodore to get to know their families.

“Now that you and Arthur are out in the open, do you want to meet the rest of our family, too?” Sophie smiled with grace.

Lucia didn’t know what to say. Even without Sophie’s mention, Lucia was taking Theodore with her this Christmas to visit Auntie Esmae in the USA. But Lucia was a little nervous about meeting Arthur’s other family members.”

When Lucia was silent, Arthur reached out and grasped her hand. He said gently, “Yes, please come with us. Theodore is my child too. It’s time for everyone to meet him.”

“And… Does everyone else know about it?”

“Not yet. But with tonight’s story, I’m sure they’ll be calling me soon.” Said Arthur without any pressure. Although Arthur had been working at Athegate alone, his father and other brothers had been concerned about his recent situation.

“Sorry…” Lucia lowered her eyes, ashamed. If she could, of course, she wanted Arthur’s family to know her as a clean woman. But she was accused of betraying her ex-husband and being abandoned, even though she knew it was wrong.

Besides, she was totally unprepared.

“Lucia, don’t apologize.” Arthur felt most sorry for Lucia’s understanding.

Sophie also spoke to comfort, “Lucia, you don’t have to worry about anything. It wasn’t your fault. Besides, Arthur is Theodore’s father, which is the most powerful evidence. My husband and three other sons are all sensible men, and they won’t take it the wrong way.”

Lucia was gratified by Arthur and Sophie’s words. It was a wonderful thing to have someone who believe in us, but it was still too soon.

Perhaps because he understood the hesitation in Lucia’s eyes, Arthur did not want to embarrass her, so he said to her, “Lucia, my mom’s just making a proposition. You don’t have to answer it now. Shall we wait until Christmas is about twenty days away to make the decision?”

Lucia smiled gratefully at Arthur before she spoke to Sophie, “Auntie Sophie, this is a big thing, so please let me think about it again.”

“All right, all right, I won’t push you.” Sophie smiled, feeling helpless about Arthur. She had just made this offer on purpose, in order to force Lucia to take Theodore back to show her husband, but her son helped her escape.
