She Is A CEO

"50 billion!" Just as Kyle wanted to persuade Arthur to quit, Arthur offered a new price, and Kyle was left with a livid face.

Jacob chuckled after hearing Arthur's offer and stopped competing with him.

After three hammer blows, the moderator announced the bidder that won the development project of the islands was Davonnis Corp, and the whole venue burst into applause.

Actually, the project was at most worth 30 billion. The company that got it at a higher price had to take a huge risk. Arthur was very smart, so of course he knew it. But now he won the project with a price of 50 billion. The crowd who knew it was not worth it secretly laughed at him instead.

"Mr. Davies..." Hearing the clamor of the bystanders, Kyle looked at Arthur resignedly. Just now he reminded Arthur that the maximum limit was thirty billion.

"Go back." Arthur's face was expressionless. He stood up and left the venue. Kyle packed up his things, rushed after him, and stopped those reporters who were chasing after them.

Jacob saw Arthur stand up, he stood up as well and stared after Arthur with a look of triumph.

The news that Branch of Davonnis got the development project of the islands at 50 billion soon made headlines, with some reports even saying that Arthur was bound to lose money this time.

"Arthur is too generous!" Although Jibillion Inc had no interest in the development project of the islands, Eduard was shocked to know about it from reports and other business partners, and he deliberately brought it up to Lucia when she came to him for something.

"Well, I agree." Lucia seemed uninterested and replied casually while standing in front of Eduard's desk and looking through the files.

"Lucia, aren't you interested in this at all?" Eduard asked her with a frown.

Lucia closed the folder and said, "Arthur must have his own reasons for doing things. Davonnis Corp is wealthy. 50 billion is just a drop in the bucket for him."

"It makes sense. But it also matters whether he can get enough in return for the investment," Eduard said as he leaned back in his chair. "Clearly, Arthur is losing money."

Lucia narrowed her eyes. What Eduard said was right. Though she was not present at the bidders conference, it was not difficult to guess the reason why Arthur acted so impulsively. Jacob and Spencer must have contributed to it.

Lucia felt guilty. Though she had broken up with Arthur, it was true that Jacob went against Arthur for her sake.

"Lucia?" Eduard called Lucia's name when she was pondering.

"Stop being nosy about it. Have you read this proposal? Is it feasible?" Recovering her wits, Lucia reopened the folder and asked Eduard.

"Not yet ..." Eduard said weakly.

"Then read it!" Lucia said impolitely and ordered Eduard to read it at once.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Eduard had to hurriedly look through the documents, while Lucia's mind wandered.

Arthur, of course, knew that Jacob competed with him at the conference to cause him to offer a price that far exceeded the budget. He was indeed too impulsive at that time, but he would not let JTP get the project. Even if it meant that he had to take huge risks.

"Mr. Davies, everyone is talking about us now," Kyle voiced his complaint as he stood in front of Arthur's desk. He had warned Mr. Davies!

"Just let it be," Arthur said casually and asked Kyle, "How're the things I asked you to investigate?"

"I investigated everyone. None of them are suspicious or has a motive," Kyle put on a much more serious face, and answered.

"Is that so?" Arthur's eyes were dark with an unfathomable emotion as he muttered to himself, "How did Jacob know our maximum bid price?"

The timing of Jacob's raising his bidding card was just too right. Arthur guessed Jacob must have known the maximum bid stated in the proposal. Now his only concern was who had the audacity to leak the secret out!

"Only you and I know the maximum bid. Those executives could only say an approximate number... That is to say, I am suspicious?" Kyle said while doubting himself. His stupid look made Arthur want to beat him.

"Don't be silly. Keep looking into it until you find the truth!" Arthur reprimanded Kyle and sent him away.

After Kyle left, Arthur got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning and pondering who had betrayed Davonnis Corp.

The final proposal was decided by him, and the file was only stored on his computer; his office was on the top floor and it was locked when he and Kyle were not there; only his and Kyle's fingerprints could be entered to unlock the door. Kyle was stupid, but he would never do such a thing.

And other subordinates could not set foot on the top floor without his consent at all; Even if they entered his office, Kyle or he would be there. Who could use his computer when Kyle and he were there, or, who could be allowed to stay in the office alone?

Then a realization hit Arthur. He abruptly turned his head to look at the sofa. Since the project proposal was decided, Juliana had no longer followed him to the company...

Arthur didn't want to suspect Juliana, but then he remembered that he indeed saw Juliana in contact with Poppy at the party held by Spencer. Though Juliana and Poppy just looked like they passed each other...

"No, it shouldn't be Julia ... she couldn't possibly do such a thing..." Arthur frowned, muttering to himself. But Juliana was indeed most likely to have access to his computer. Also, he would not be defensive towards her at all!

Having inner struggle and suspicions within himself, Arthur frowned tightly.

When he returned home that night, Arthur knocked on Juliana's door for the first time on his own initiative.
