She is a CEO novel Chapter 1191

Chapter 1191 Cooperation

Facing Jack and Victor, who were equally agile, and Arthur, who was equally quick to act, Dan showed no signs of panic. Instead, he calmly said, "So Mr. Davies, you still remember me."

"Release him!" Victor didn't care why Dan was here or how he managed to escape, but he wouldn't let him harm Arthur.

"Sure." Dan simply let go of Arthur, a response that left Victor stunned.

What was going on?

Dan raised his hands and slowly stepped back. Just as Arthur took a step forward, Jack had already moved past him and pounced on Dan. With a swift maneuver, he subdued him. Strangely, Dan, who could have resisted, made no attempt to fight back. He obediently let Jack capture him and kept his eyes fixed on Arthur.

"This guy successfully escaped from a USA prison and came back here. Mr. Davies, we can't let him cause trouble!" Victor exclaimed, vividly remembering how Dan had sided with Spencer in the past.

"Let him go first," Arthur unexpectedly replied.

"What?!" Both Jack and Victor questioned in unison.

"Mr. Davies, you're still as sharp as ever." Even with both Jack and Victor pressing him down, Dan remained unfazed.

"We can't let him go!" Victor disliked Dan's tone; he always came across as arrogant, giving off an air of superiority. Victor wouldn't give him a chance to retaliate!

"He didn't intend to harm me," Arthur said calmly. "Since he managed to escape from a USA prison and chose to come back here, even though he had the opportunity to hide, his motives must be similar to ours."

"Did you hear that? Let me go," Dan smirked, but his smile lacked the usual warmth. He looked up and locked eyes with Victor.

Victor was infuriated, but he still held Dan firmly, not expecting Jack to release his grip so readily. Jack listened to Arthur's words and said, "Let him go."

Victor reluctantly let go but remained on high alert, ready to subdue Dan at any moment.

"Do you want to save her?" There was no need for unnecessary words between smart people; Arthur asked directly.

Dan adjusted his clothes. At the moment, he was simply wearing black pants and a black short-sleeved shirt. Upon closer inspection, one could see several fresh wounds on his exposed arms. After tidying his clothes, Dan finally responded to Arthur,

"I want to come back and see her... I didn't expect that she was kidnapped by Jacob. No matter what you think, I won't change my mind. But now my identity is special, and for the time being, I can't track her down. So I want to cooperate with you. Although we have a grudge between us, if we can work together, it will be beneficial and harmless for her."

Upon hearing this, Victor finally understood Dan's intention and spat at him fiercely, "Crave for what you're not worthy of!"

Dan had been expressionless all along but his face finally changed after hearing those words. He glared at Victor with a dark expression, "I once asked her to leave with me but she refused. It's my freedom to have whatever feelings towards her that I do. You have no right to judge me!"

"You're feeling pretty good about yourself huh?!" Victor prepared himself for an attack as he shouted at Dan.

"I cannot be certain about anything else, but I believe he is sincere in saving Lucia," Arthur affirmed.

"But..." Victor still didn't trust Dan.

"Since you're not at ease, you'll act together from now on. If he shows any suspicious behavior, you can take action immediately." This was Arthur's original plan, and Victor was the most suitable person to restrain Dan.

"That's just what I wanted!" Victor finally gave in.

Victor and Arthur were walking ahead, while Jack deliberately slowed down to walk in front of Dan. He coldly warned him,

"I warn you not to have any illusions about Lucia. The only reason why Mr. Davies agreed to cooperate with you is because he believes that you are capable of tracking Jacob. In the end, you are just a tool, and it's not because he has a soft spot for you! Lucia will never have a better opinion of you just because you're involved!"

In the face of Jack's harsh words, Dan showed no reaction and walked straight ahead.

However, there was a momentary flash of desolation in Dan's eyes; he understood what Jack said all too well.

When others found out that Arthur was planning to collaborate with Dan, there was chaos in the public channel. If it weren't for their need to monitor the ship owner, everyone would have rushed back to stop Arthur. However, Arthur patiently explained himself to everyone and ultimately convinced them with the phrase "he can find us."

"Dan! I warn you not to play any tricks. If you dare harm Mr. Davies, be prepared for the consequences!" Though everyone no longer opposed Arthur's decision, they made sure not a word was spared when warning Dan.
