She is a CEO by George Chapman

After listening to Poppy's explanation of what happened, Kane had a whole picture of what she had gone through in the past ten days, but...

"Poppy, how about you take Jacob's advice? A billion is enough for an ordinary person. You can take this money to live somewhere else. Do not care about the feud with Lucia or the grudge against Jacob. Isn't it amazing to live a happy life alone?"

Although he wanted to help Poppy out of the situation, Kane's sense of justice clearly told him that Poppy was to blame. The result was actually good. Jacob could resort to law and put her in jail if not for old time's sake. If Jacob did, it was inevitable that Poppy would be sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

"What are you talking about?" Poppy was furious at his words, slapped the table, and glared at Kane, "Do you know how much JTP is worth now? Why should I take only one billion?"

"Poppy, Jacob now has evidence to accuse you of transferring company assets. Are you now thinking that you can divorce him in a normal way and share the assets equally?" Kane asked unhappily. "Or why do you think I ask you back?" Poppy adopted her usual bossy attitude.

Kane frowned. Once again he felt he was a pawn used by Poppy. When he was needed, she would get close to pacify him. When he was not needed, she would just abandon him.

Thinking about it, Kane put on a cold expression on his face.

"Poppy, what do you think I can do now?" Kane asked in a cold voice.

"You're a lawyer and legally adept. There must be some way to get me off. Kane, I know you can." It was Poppy's wishful thinking.

Kane chuckled and asked Poppy, "You know I'm just a lawyer, I can defend you based on the facts, but what can I do when the evidence is so clear? At most, I can fight for a reduced sentence."

"Then what's the point of you coming back?" Kane's answer made Poppy disappointed and angry, and she blurted out the most hurtful words. When she noticed that Kane's gaze had abruptly turned cold, it was too late.

"I am of little use to you." Kane laughed to himself, "I don't know what you take me for, but I consider myself your friend, so the most I can do for you is to help reduce your sentence, and it may not work out. Well, you think it over yourself."

Poppy knew she had misspoken just now, so she tried to say something nice to hold onto Kane. The two were sitting very close. She got closer to Kane, her breast against his arm, as she said coquettishly. "Kane, don't be angry. I put my mouth in my foot again. I know you have other ways. Can't you just help me?"

If it was before, Kane would feel flattered and even bewitched, but now he only had Juliana in his heart. Poppy's intimacy did not work for him, so he pulled back his arm without mercy and said coldly. "Poppy, all I can do now is to persuade you to accept the condition proposed by Jacob. Honestly, he has shown you mercy. If not, you would have been detained by now. Stop coveting JTP's assets and let go." "He has shown me mercy?" Rejected once again by Kane, Poppy was desperate to the extreme, and she vented her anger without reservation.

"Did you forget how he got JTP? Without me, he wouldn't have hit on Lucia. If I hadn't set Lucia up to cheat on him, he wouldn't have been the president of JTP and accomplished so much today. Kane, I can't let go!"

Kane fixated on Poppy's face distorted out of anger. He truly felt that this woman was terrifying. And she had totally been corrupted by desire.

Knowing that she would not listen to his advice, Kane did not bother to say anything more after he finished the sentence, "Think about which to choose, one billion or a reduced sentence."

Poppy stared blankly into Kane's determined eyes, finally understanding that she got no one else to turn to.

"Really, is that all I can do?" Unwillingness surged through her as she asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes," Kane replied firmly.

"All right." Poppy stood up abruptly, looked at Kane with cold eyes, and said, "Then I won't ask you for help. I'll solve it myself!"

After speaking, Poppy turned around and left in anger. Kane stood up, hesitated for a moment, and did not go after her.

Poppy was in deep trouble, but Kane had no sympathy for her, so he would just let her do whatever she wanted.

After Poppy split up with Kane, she returned home in low spirits. Jacob did not return home. Even if she wanted to beg him for something, he was not there.

Sitting in the living room and looking at the luxurious crystal lamp on the ceiling, Poppy recalled all the things from the time she met Lucia to the time she had a falling out with Jacob. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she was to just take one billion!

Without her, Jacob was just a nobody!

Sitting up abruptly, Poppy decided to drag him down. She called her assistant Daphne and asked her to go to the president's office to see if Jacob was there.

Daphne could only agree. She tiptoed up to the top floor and sent a message to Poppy after making sure that Jacob was in the office. Poppy was cheered up at the news. After dressing herself up a little, she rushed to the company.

'Jacob, did you forget that I got something on you?'

When she arrived at the company, Poppy went straight to the president's office and pushed open the door. She found some people stood in front of Jacob's desk listening to his instructions.

Poppy finally knew why Jacob could find evidence that she had transferred the company's assets so quickly.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and all the people in the office turned their heads to look at Poppy, some panicked, some guilty, and some gloating. Only Jacob was calm.

Poppy headed for Jacob with a powerful vibe, and other people hurriedly bowed their heads, "Hello, Ms. Powell."

"Get out of here!" Poppy bellowed, but those people did not move. They just feigned politeness just now.

"You guys get out first," Jacob snapped, and only then did those people get out of the office one by one. His henchman closed the door for them thoughtfully.

When only the two of them were left, Jacob leaned back in his chair and stretched out, asking lazily, "Figured it out?"

Jacob's attitude made Poppy even more furious, and she rushed to Jacob's desk, slammed it, and said angrily,

"Jacob, do you really not take me seriously now?"
