She is a CEO novel Chapter 569

"Everyone," Nia began to speak, "Thank you for coming to Stable Growth's opening celebration dinner." After saying that, she raised her glass to Lucia and the others, but the glass was in mid-air, and no one responded. Nia sneered and withdrew her hand.

"What? No respect for me in my place?"

Lucia turned slightly to the side and took a sip of her drink. She smiled as if it had nothing to do with her. Arthur, on the other hand, did not even glance at Nia. His eyes were fixed on Lucia's face.

At this point, it was time for Eduard, who can't keep his mouth shut, to step in.

"Your place?" Eduard retorted with a chuckle. "I thought this hotel is my family's. Since when is it your place?"

Nia's inexplicable anger welled up. Eduard always had a sharp tongue! But she soon got a hold of herself and winked innocently,

"Mr. Burton, I'm hosting a celebration party here today. It's not too much to say that it's my place, right? We know each other. Why are you picking on me like this..."

"We don't know each other," Eduard said, raising an eyebrow. "We used to work together. It was a leader-member relation. You're wrong."

Her poor family had always been a sore point for Nia, and when Eduard brought it up on purpose, she couldn't help frowning, and her gaze fell squarely on Daphne.

"Daphne works for you, too, doesn't she? I heard that after she was fired from Webbex Group, she went to work as your assistant? Why didn't she make forward progress?"

Nia almost said, "can you become the president of a company like me?".

Eduard couldn't bear to see Daphne being wronged, so he reached out to shield her from him. Just as he was about to speak, Daphne came out and stood beside him, speaking up for herself without fear,

"That's because I know myself. I can do whatever I want with my knowledge and ability. Unlike some people who bluff and think they are right even though they are not capable enough."

Well said! Eduard was impressed, and Daphne had learned to fight back!

"Who are you calling incompetent and bluffing?!" Daphne was Nia's first person who made her jealous, and she was the one who provoked her most.

"Enough!" As Nia was about to continue challenging Daphne, Lucia, who had been silent the entire time, let out a cold shout. Her voice carried the authority of a person in a high position, and Nia was immediately stunned.

"Nia, is being the CEO of a small company enough to make you so proud? Stable Growth is currently not even in the top 20 in Athegate. Do you have the confidence to speak up in front of me, Eduard and Mr. Davies?"

As soon as Lucia was done speaking, Arthur slowly turned his head to look at Nia. His cold eyes fell directly on her, and Nia felt like she was carrying a heavy burden.

Nia made a fist to cheer herself up. She purposely ignored Arthur's fatal gaze and did not dare to look Lucia directly in the eye. Instead, she looked down at the flowing wine in the glass as if she was relaxed and said coldly,

Nia had just finished speaking when she suddenly felt a shadow over her head. Her entire body trembled and she subconsciously looked up. Then, she was locked in Arthur's cold gaze.

Arthur was standing right in front of Nia. The distance between the two of them was only 20 centimeters. He was tall, and his aura was overwhelming. He was so intimidating that it made people feel like they were looking up at a giant. He looked down at the woman who had dared to insult Lucia with the coldest look, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

"Say it again?" Arthur's voice was as sharp as a blade.

Nia was trembling terribly.

Nia had always been afraid of Arthur, not only because of his noble and unshakable status, but also the look in his eyes. It was afraid that Lucia didn't even know it, when she looked at him, Arthur's purple eyes showed warmth. When looking at others, his eyes were always icily cold, making people dare not approach him.

"What? Are you mute?" Arthur chuckled and continued to ask Nia.

"I..." Nia stammered for a long time before she managed to say "I" and then she stopped. The cold sweat that was oozing from her forehead had already reached her eyebrows.

Leaning over slightly, Arthur looked straight into Nia's frightened eyes. His cold voice mixed with threats reaching deep into her heart,

"Watch your mouth next time, or you won't even know how you die!"
