She Is A CEO

She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 557

“Jacob, don’t go too far, okay? Don’t you want enough from me these days?” Spencer said coldly.

“Enough?” Jacob sneered. “A lot less than what you took from me.”

“All right,” Spencer said, knowing enough was enough. “I’ll think about it. That’s all.”

Then he hung up and put the phone down. Spencer looked at Lucia and said, “Well, now hand him over. I’d be happy to.”

As for Jacob’s confession e-mail, he’ll find another way to deal with it. Winning Esmae’s trust was what was most important right now.

Lucia sat on the sofa and stared straight at Spencer, wondering if his words could be trusted. Besides, she was also puzzled. Listening to their conversation just now, Spencer seemed to be afraid of Jacob. As for what it was, it was worth her investigation.

“Still don’t believe me?” Spencer said helplessly.

“Yes, but I have to find Jacob first,” said Lucia after a moment’s silence.

“No way.” Spencer shook his head. “Jacob is a free man now. I can give you clues, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be caught. If he escapes, I won’t get anything, will I?”

“And if I can’t catch him, then I have nothing to gain?” Lucia asked.

“It’s up to you,” Spencer said to Lucia with a sly look in his eyes.

“Tell me, how would you like me to help you regain your trust in front of Esmae?” Lucia asked Spencer, changing the subject. “You know, she doesn’t think much of you anymore.”

“Just play along for the next month, and I won’t put you on the spot,” Spencer said,

“I’ll consider Ms. Wilson when we’ve built enough momentum.”

“A month? !” Lucia’s eyes turned cold.

“A month isn’t long,” Spencer said, smiling as he leaned back on the couch. The deal was done, and his mood was instantly improved. “Lucia, you have to be patient, don’t you? Jacob’s not going anywhere…”

Lucia stared at Spencer for a long time, then nodded helplessly. All she had left was to find Jacob.

The people of Athegate had recently been confused by the media. Lucia and Spencer recently had a falling out over a woman, Nia. And in a major turn of events, Lucia had publicly expressed her forgiveness for Spencer. What happened after that was even more incredible. They had thought that the two of them would continue their cold war for a while, but after Lucia was discharged from the hospital, the two of them began to appear together in the public. Their relationship was extremely close.

Whether it was industry conferences, high society, parties or banquets, Lucia, who had disappeared two months earlier, had reappeared and had been snuggling up to her fiancé Spencer. The two were inseparable.

“Lucia, what the hell!” Eduard and the others had just finished dinner at Arthur’s house. Eduard accidentally flipped open a financial magazine and slammed it on the coffee table. He couldn’t help but lose his temper.

On the coffee table, the open side of the financial magazine reported that Lucia and Spencer were attending a business meeting together. The report also included photos of the two of them snuggling together. Lucia’s eyes were full of tenderness, and Spencer was doting on her. Then looking carefully, between the lines of the report, they were described as an affectionate couple.

Eduard got angry for no reason, and everyone looked over to find out why, but no one dared to answer him, because Arthur’s face didn’t look good.

In fact, if Eduard did not mention, Arthur would also know what Lucia was doing recently. He also did not understand, but can only suffer that in his heart.

“Eduard, please stop…” Kane warned him while seeing Arthur frown.

“Why not?!” Eduard complained, ignoring him. “Lucia said she wouldn’t spare Spencer in the hospital, and now she’s in a relationship with him. What is she thinking?!”

“Lucia may have… plans of her own,” Juliana said politely, watching Arthur’s face.

“What’s her plan to defend Spencer when she’s being wronged?!” Eduard walked around the living room. “No, I’m going to ask her!”

“Eduard!” Kane finally said it. “You have to think about what you’re saying…” he looked directly at Arthur.

Eduard looked into his eyes and realized he was being impulsive. Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken.

Knowing that everyone was looking at him, Arthur looked up slowly and said calmly, “You don’t have to worry about me. As her friend, Eduard is right to worry.”

“Arthur…” Juliana’s heart ached when she saw how “open-minded” Arthur was, and how could she not know what lay beneath his peace as a good friend.

“Take your time. I’m going up to take care of some business.” Arthur didn’t respond to Juliana’s concern. He got up and went upstairs. As soon as he left, they started to attack Eduard.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Eduard, you’re crazy. Why are you saying this in front of Arthur?!” Kane fumed.

“Yeah, you know what Arthur cares!” Juliana chimed in.

“Eduard, you’ve gone too far this time,” even Daphne agreed, lashing out at her boyfriend.

Eduard apologized bitterly. “I was just anxious…”

“You think you’re the only one who’s impatient?” Juliana glared. “All of us, especially Arthur… I don’t know how much pressure he’s under right now…”

“I wasn’t kidding. I wanted to talk to Lucia,” Eduard said.

“What’s the use of it?” Kane sighed. “Lucia has always been independent and clear-cut. She must have her own reasons for forgiving Spencer. Even if we worry about Arthur, it’s not worth it to make things difficult for Lucia, is it?”

When Eduard heard this, he knew Kane had a point. He didn’t know what to say, so he sat down, feeling upset.

Holding Eduard’s hand gently, Daphne frowned. “Is there really nothing we can do?”

“Maybe, just wait it out,” Kane sighed.

In the study, Arthur came up to deal with business, but the computer screen in front of him was dark.
