She is a CEO novel Chapter 612

Chapter 612 Another malicious plan

Sophie's voice sounded like a sob at the end of the speech, but it was a little subdued and angry.

Erik had no idea that Sophie, who had always been the gentlest, would say something like this. He could have said something to Edwin, but when Sophie said it, he didn't know how to reply.

Elliot was a little surprised, too. Knowing Sophie would react this way, he could imagine how bad Erik and his son were.

"Elliot," Sophie said, adjusting her mood a little and turning to Elliot,

"I know you don't want to give up your family, and neither do I. Arthur is my child. We all have our own reasons and our own ties. Edwin has also promised that as long as Erik and his son don't act rashly, we won't threaten him. Otherwise, I, Sophie, am a little cruel too!"

Elliot sighed helplessly when he saw a hint of hostility in Sophie's eyes.

Hearing his brother's sigh, Erik, distraught, turned to Elliot and said,

"Elliot, don't listen to her! Lucia and Spencer got engaged of their own free will. You know what kind of woman Lucia is. How could a strong and independent woman like that be bullied and seduced by others? Sophie was deliberately slandering Spencer because she didn't want to admit that her son is useless, but Spencer is your nephew. Would you rather trust someone else?!"

"Shut up. I know exactly what Spencer is like!" Sophie's words had already made Elliot feel guilty, and when he heard Erik twist things around, he was very upset that he had provoked him to come to New York, so he cursed,

"Sophie's right. There's an old saying that prevention is always a step in the right direction. There's nothing wrong with what they're doing. Besides, Edwin has promised not to easily shake your position in the company. As long as you don't do anything rash, what are you worried about?!"

"Elliot, are you crazy? You actually listen to Sophie?!" Erik's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Sophie would turn Elliot against him after all his efforts to get him back to USA.

"I know what to do. If it weren't for you being my brother, I wouldn't be able to break the bond... I..."

"What are you gonna do?!" Erik snapped, forcing Elliot to finish.

Elliot, who had always been a gentle man, was furious at his brother's lack of remorse, and scolded him in front of the Edwins,

"Erik, stop it! "I've seen with my own eyes how Lucia and Arthur was in love back then. Even though the children's relationship can not be linked to the family business, the damage that Spencer has done to them has already been done. No matter what, it's your fault from a moral standpoint. I won't help you. Figure out your own way. If you can't think of a way, then hold it back!"

Erik was fifty-six years old but scolded by his brother in front of others, which was a disgrace for him.

"Elliot!!" He stood up abruptly. Erik pointed at Elliot and said sternly, "Today you don't care about me as your brother. Don't ever recognize me again!"

Erik's anger flared up and he turned to leave. Elliot frowned, got up, and sat down again, with his hands pressing against the armrest of the sofa.

Edwin and Sophie saw Elliot's dilemma and looked at each other helplessly.

In terms of reason, Elliot was fair and reasonable, but in affection, he did break the bond of brotherhood.

"I know. I know..." Spencer got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water,

"Although the outcome isn't as we hoped, at least Elliot knows that Edwin has attacked us. In fact, he cares about you very much. Also, my situation is very good. Tomorrow, I will hold a press conference to announce that Lucia has given birth to a baby girl. By then, everyone will know that I have a daughter, and Arthur can only hide behind the pain. We have nothing to lose."

"What about the shares? Just let Edwin hold them?!" Erik said unhappily.

"Didn't Edwin make a promise? The most important thing is that he said it in front of Elliot. We got our money back anyway. Take this opportunity, dad, to think about the future of the company," Spencer said in a relaxed tone.

"What do you mean?" Erik asked doubtfully.

"You listen to me..." Spencer said slowly to his father, and Erik's expression changed.

"Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna let Edwin overreach himself!"

After hanging up the phone, Spencer emptied the glass of water. His dark eyes were heavier than the night sky outside.

The next day, a big news conference was held at Cloudwork. Spencer dressed up and announced to the reporters that Lucia had been given a baby girl. As Lucia said, when the reporters asked about her birth, Spencer repeated everything that Arthur had done that day, and the image of the gentle fiance immediately drew praise from the reporters present.

But there were those whose focus was elsewhere.
