She is a CEO by George Chapman

Sitting on the main seat, Sophie deeply appreciated Lucia's actions, and silently made a decision in her heart that she and Edwin must resolve Esmae's matter as soon as possible!

After dinner, Lucia had a chance to talk to Kane alone.

"How's Poppy doing now?" Lucia asked lightly.

"Ever since I used that trick, after death threat, Poppy's whole demeanor has changed, as if she has given up some obsessions and figured out something. She no longer mentions things with me about property and rights, but looking at the ceiling in a daze every day. I think she is reflecting on the wrong things she has done before," replied Kane.

Lucia frowned slightly. Poppy, will she reflect?

"If you want to know if she is truly remorseful, you can only come forward to confirm." Kane mentioned.

"It's not that simple to let go of the past, especially since I have a deep grudge with her. If I rush to see her, I'm afraid that she will know that you are already on my side. And it will be bad there will be emotional rebound." Lucia told her concerns.

Poppy was domineering, willful and cunning, and now she might be able to reflect on herself after Kane used the bitter trick. But once she knew that this was Kane's intentional design, she may immediately be furious and rebound to a more vicious state than before.

"You're right," Kane agreed with Lucia after pondering for a while, "By the way, Poppy mentioned to me that Jacob has a ledger of officials he bribed. If she could get it before confronting him in court, that ledger is very beneficial to us."

Lucia showed joy. Kane told her a good news, so she asked, "Where is that ledger? Did Poppy mention it?"

"Poppy only said that Jacob keeps it well kept, but did not say where it is. If I can continue to persuade her, I believe that I will soon know where the ledger is located," said Kane.

"I'll leave this to you." Lucia looked at Kane and said sincerely.

"This is what I should do," Kane shook his head embarrassedly, "I will deal with it as soon as possible so that you can clear your grievances."

Over the years, Lucia had not only been burdened with the pain of leaving her hometown, but also the misunderstanding and prejudice of the world against her. Even now, there were still many people attacking her for the cheating incident. Kane felt deeply guilty.

Lucia nodded, and just as the two were discussing, Arthur came over and asked them,

"How's it going?"

"Kane told me that Jacob has a ledger of his bribes to officials. If we get that ledger, Jacob wouldn't say anything when confronting in court," Lucia told Arthur.

"Do you know where the ledger is?" Arthur asked, nodding.

"Poppy knows it. I will get the exact message from her as soon as possible. Don't worry," Kane responded.

"Just tell us if you need help," Arthur added.

Kane nodded with a smile, then looked at Lucia, hesitated for a moment and then expressed his gratitude, "Miss Webb, thank you for speaking up for me just now. Otherwise, I would have no courage in bringing up the idea of letting Julia stay here in front of Kayla."

"It's not a big deal," Lucia said, waving her hands. "Baby needs mom and dad. I just helped him a little bit."

Lucia's slightly naughty words made Kane laugh out loud, and he was convinced that Poppy would never be able to defeat her. Lucia's self-discipline, depth, and conduct exuded charm all the time. Even himself, after talking with her a few times, he couldn't help but admire her, so she was unmatched by Poppy who was sinister and devious.

Sophie's departure time was around the corner. Juliana can't see her off in person because she had to take care of the baby, and it was inconvenient for Kane and Kayla to do so, so Arthur and Lucia drove Sophie to the airport together.

No outsiders were present. In the car, Sophie and Lucia talked about Esmae.

"Lucia, if Esmae insists on going her own way, can you make up your mind to be with Arthur?" This was what Sophie cared about and worried about the most. Lucia had alienated Arthur because of Esmae's words before, and Sophie didn't want to see Arthur depressed about it.

Sophie's concern was the one that worried Arthur the most. He held Lucia's hand as he waited for an answer.

"Well, I've made up my mind. Although she is so kind to me, and I don't think I can reciprocate it, I can't agree to everything, whether it's black or white, or ethical and normal. In principle, I will stick to it." Lucia talked about her decision.

"That's good," Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. Lucia's affection was an advantage, but it was also easy to be used because of this. She turned to her son and said,

"Arthur, after I've discussed it with your dad, you take the time to bring Lucia to New York, and we'll go find Esmae together. Maybe it's better to talk face-to-face about it."

"I know." Arthur nodded, thinking it was long overdue to have a face-to-face talk with Esmae.

"By the way, about Spencer," Sophie recalled and warned again, "Don't confront him until he doesn't do anything. The Davis family doesn't have too many offspring. Although your father is strict on the surface, he is actually very concerned about kinship. Try not to get into difficulties as much as you can."

"Okay." Arthur responded again, following his mother's advice.

Soon they arrived at airport. Arthur and Lucia took Sophie into the airport. After a reluctance to say goodbye, Sophie got on the plane. Arthur held Lucia's hand and stood under the glass window to watch the flight that was about to take off.

The lights on the airport runway flickered, and Sophie's flight flew into the air under the guidance of the lights. When the plane disappeared from view, Arthur lowered his head and said to Lucia, "Lucia, actually my mother mentioned something to me before she left, but it's not convenient for her to tell you in person."

"What?" Lucia asked, looking back at Arthur.

"Esmae has a long-standing grudge against my parents, and has never let it go for so many years. Now that Teddy is with her, my Mom is worried..." Arthur didn't want to be too direct, and believed that Lucia understood what he meant.

Lucia was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and after a wry smile, she lightly opened her mouth and responded,

"I understand what Sophie means. Although I don't want to admit it, once Esmae becomes persistent, no one can shake it. She takes good care of Teddy. There is no doubt about it. But in order to force me, she might detain Teddy."

"So I talked to my mom and wondered if you could figure out a way to bring Teddy back, or send him straight to New York, before we go to her for talk," suggested Arthur.
