She Is A CEO

Lucia choked up when she heard the words. The reason why she couldn't refute it was she knew what Esmae said, and she really felt sorry for her.

This was the contradiction of Lucia.

Seeing Lucia's sad expression, Arthur stretched out his hand to gently cover her behind again, and said to Esmae,

"Ms. Wilson, I know I have done a lot of things to hurt Lucia before, but we are not isolated from the world. There will always be people around us who have bad intentions to frame us up. I have been ignorant and hesitant, but every time I experience, I have become more aware of my feelings for Lucia. No one can stop us from being together!"

"Don't talk big!" Esmae responded coldly, not listening to Arthur at all.

Lucia knew in her heart that Esmae would never listen to any of Arthur's words. No matter how sincere he was, no matter how firm he was, she would not change anything because of his explanation, even taking Arthur as a person who shirked responsibility. So Lucia turned and said,

"Esmae, I know you can't listen to Arthur's explanation, but even so, it doesn't change the fact he is Teddy's biological father. Teddy has accepted him as his father. Are you really willing to see the three of us separated from each other?"

"Teddy is still young. He could have another father." Esmae was unmoved.

"So you chose a despicable person like Spencer?" Arthur respected Esmae as an elder, but his respect had a limit. Now that Esmae questioned his identity as Theodore's father, which had reached his limit, he coldly opened his mouth.

"Arthur Davies! Who are you calling a despicable person?!" Before Esmae said a word, Spencer couldn't help but get angry.

"What? Am I wrong? Isn't it your style to be double-faced? On the surface, you mediate with Ms. Wilson on behalf of my parents, but in fact, you are secretly cutting in and finding a new backer. Are you happy?" Arthur fought back. His temper can not always be kept below the line of reason.

"Arthur, you should speak with some self-knowledge. No matter how Spencer is, has he hurt Lucia?" Esmae also disdained Spencer's character, but they were in the same line and she will still speak for Spencer.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"He doesn't have that chance either!" With sharp eyes, Arthur replied coldly.

"Heh, is the son raised by Edwin so brazen?" Esmae said coldly, "Before you speak out, you should think about my existence. As long as I don't agree, ask Lucia if she dares to continue being together with you!"

When Arthur heard this, he immediately looked at Lucia, but Lucia didn't give him a response, just looked at him with a pair of sad eyes. Arthur immediately understood that kindness and love were the dilemma that Lucia couldn't make a choice.

So, Arthur didn't push her.

"Lucia," Arthur reached out and took Lucia's hand. Holding back the chill, he said her softly, "Don't answer. I know you love me."

"Arthur..." At this moment, Lucia really felt guilty for Arthur.

Arthur's understanding was incomparably gentle, but in Esmae's eyes, she only felt that he was very pretentious. Why would he play such a bitter scene in front of her, so she spoke to interrupt the gaze between them,

"Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't allow you to stay together. Lucia, I won't restrict your personal freedom. You can go with Arthur anytime, but Teddy has to stay. I won't let him follow growing up with ruthless people. As long as you are willing to come back to visit us, you will still be my beloved goddaughter."

"Esmae!" Hearing Esmae's seemingly generous words, Arthur's anger broke out in full force. He said Esmae's name directly, and said angrily,

"Don't you think you're going too far?! Why do you keep my son by your side? Why do you rashly judge my character!?"

"Why should I?!" Esmae slapped the table angrily and responded angrily, "I was by Lucia's side when she was pregnant. When Teddy was born, I stood outside the operating room. When Lucia went to school, I have been cared for Teddy and he grows up with me. Why should I?! Why should you!"

What Esmae said was the years when Arthur was absent. Arthur's eyes widened. His heart was beaten by guilt, and he couldn't refute with any word.

Lucia and Theodore was Esmae's greatest weapon.

Spencer watched as Arthur's face changed, and gloated.

Lucia lowered her eyes. Her body trembled slightly. Esmae's biggest weapon in her hand could not only hurt Arthur, but also control her.

"Arthur, stop arguing with her. The past can't be changed. There's no point in arguing about it," Lucia held Arthur's arm, then turned to Esmae and said,

"Esmae, your kindness to me, I have never forgotten for a day. I know you can't accept our feelings for a while, and I don't expect you to be able to let go of your grievances with Arthur's parents, but I will never agree to engaged with Spencer. I came here today to ask you to take this back."

Esmae was comforted when she saw that Lucia still took her into account. But when she heard her turn to mentioning her marriage to Arthur, she turned her head to look at Spencer and didn't say anything for him immediately. It was up to Spencer himself. Now, if a man can't even fight for the woman he loved, she can consider taking back this idea.

In fact, Esmae really thought too much. Of course Spencer will fight, because the engagement with Lucia involved more than interests, but emotional issues, and the battle between him and Arthur.

Taking a step forward, Spencer made a firm statement, "Ms. Wilson, I have promised you countless times that as long as Lucia and I get married, I will never hurt her for the rest of my life. I will not make her sleepless and tearful. I'm willing to protect her all the time. This is definitely something Arthur can't do!"

"Spencer, you dare to say it!" Arthur said angrily, "You didn't hurt Lucia? Then why did you work with Jacob? Don't you know what Jacob did to Lucia?"

"Why did I work with him?" Spencer sneered. "It was against you, of course. This partnership was never about Lucia. Besides, do you know what happened to Jacob now? If I didn't guide secretly, do you think Jacob will make such a fatal mistake and step into the predicament by himself?"
