She is a CEO by George Chapman

"Sophie, that's all right." Juliana smiled and thoughtfully comforted Sophie.

It was nearly 3:00 a.m. Arthur asked the elders to go back to the villa to rest first, and he would stay to take good care of Juliana and the baby. Kayla and Robert did not agree and insisted on staying here with their daughter. So, they asked Arthur and Sophie to go back to rest first.

"Arthur, you have stayed outside the operating room for more than eight hours today. You must be tired. If you fell sick, who could take care of Julia and your baby? So, listen to me. Go back to rest first." Kayla advised.

Sophie cared much about her son, so she said to Arthur, "Arthur, Kayla is right. You and I should go back to rest, and we can come over in the morning."

Arthur nodded, turned to Juliana, and said, "Julia, get some rest. I'll be here first thing in the morning."

Juliana couldn't wait for Arthur to leave and nodded, "OK. Careful getting home."

So Sophie left with Arthur. Kayla and Robert, who stayed with their daughter in the hospital room, praised Arthur's thoughtfulness and Sophie's concern, while Juliana held her baby and hung her head low. Silence reigned over the hospital. Moans of pain or sobs occasionally ripped through the silence. Some lives came to the world while some ended here.

Sophie walked quickly and kept silent on the way. She seemed to be thinking about something. Arthur silently followed his mother without saying anything.

It wasn't until she got into the car and Arthur started the engine that Sophie spoke, "Arthur, the baby is very healthy, right?"

"He's 7.7 pounds, indeed very healthy," Arthur thought for a moment and answered.

Sophie said softly, "Your brother was born a month early, but he was weak, thin and small. Back then, your father and I were anxious. As to Julia's baby, he has a rosy face and looks chubby, totally unlike a premature baby."

"Maybe that was because Julia was well-nourished during her pregnancy." Arthur did not suspect Juliana but chose to believe her.

"Don't be silly. Don't you understand what I mean?" Sophie reached out to pat Arthur's shoulder in exasperation.

"I understand, but I don't want to doubt her," Arthur said frankly.

"I don't want to, either, but I respect the facts. Julia's fall is very suspicious. And the baby who is unlike a premature baby is suspicious, too." Sophie raised her doubts. In fact, when she was in the USA, she had a foreboding that Juliana would feign premature labor.

"Mom, so what do you want to do?" Arthur couldn't deny that Sophie made sense, and he turned to Sophie who was in the back seat, and asked her.

"Take a DNA test," Sophie replied firmly.

"She wouldn't agree." Arthur could imagine how Juliana would react if she knew Sophie wanted the baby to take a DNA test, not to mention that she had her parents' support now. "We have to do it even if she disagrees," Sophie said with a raised eyebrow.

"It's important to confirm whether you and the baby have a kinship. Also, it relates to the interests of the entire family. To find out the truth is your responsibility. If the baby is really my grandson, I will try my best to take good care of him. But if not, I would not let Julia get away with it!"

"Mom..." Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, he also wanted to take a DNA test. After all, he didn't have a wonderful sense of bonding with Juliana's child, and even an odd feeling surged up... "Arthur, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Arthur's eyes dark with unfathomable emotions, Sophie immediately asked.

"It's not that I don't want to do that. I am just afraid that Julia cannot take the consequences." Arthur thought for a moment and told Sophie about his worries.

"I know it. You are afraid that the child's father is someone who raped Julia, right?" Sophie knew Arthur very well and read his thoughts easily. After all, if the baby was full term, then the time of pregnancy should be a month earlier.

Arthur nodded gently and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that Julia has known the child is not mine, but she could only choose to let me father her child for fear of public criticism. If that is the case, once the truth is revealed, I am afraid that she can't withstand it."

Until now, Arthur didn't believe that he hugged Juliana or made out with her. Juliana did not know that he had a lot of social engagements in Athegate. Even if he got drunk sometimes, he could keep calm and do nothing when women threw themselves at him. Thus, Arthur was puzzled why he couldn't control himself and hugged her that night.

"Silly boy..." Sophie was moved by his thoughtfulness of Juliana and at the same time, she criticized him for his irresponsibility.

"Have you thought about Lucia and Teddy?"

When it came to Lucia and Theodore, there was a light in Arthur's eyes.

"Yes, you are doing your part as a friend to defend Julia, but what about Lucia and Teddy?" Sophie intoned.

"Lucia suffered a lot in her early years, but she didn't give up on herself. She not only studied further, but also raised Teddy to be a smart and outgoing boy. As her lover and Teddy's father, can you ignore them because of your friendship with Julia?"

Arthur was enlightened, as if he had been pulled out of his head by Sophie.

"Mom, you're right. Lucia is also important to me. I shouldn't just think of defending Julia and let Lucia suffer. She also endured a lot of hardships for me."

"It's good that you know!" Sophie let out a long sigh, happy that she finally talked sense into her son. "What's more, what happened to Julia is quite fishy. Although I see her grow up and know her characters quite well, but people will change after taking some heavy blows. Maybe Julia is no longer what she used to be."

Arthur nodded and told her all his doubts, including his suspicions about the one-night stand that happened that night, and the possibility that Juliana might have betrayed Davonnis Corp.

"If your speculations are all true, then Julia may have been used by someone with bad intentions," Sophie said after hearing Arthur's words. She had lived for decades, met a lot of calculating people and been entrapped. So, she knew there was something fishy after hearing Arthur's speculations.
