She is a CEO novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702 The Obsession Remains

Lucia wanted to punch Spencer, but the most important thing now was to understand why Esmae was looking for her, so she suppressed it, chose to ignore him, and kept walking. Spencer caught up with her, because he didn't want to miss the show.

As soon as she entered the study, Lucia sensed that something was amiss. Esmae, who had been feeling a little better, frowned again. Her eyes were stern. She walked slowly into the study, sat down in a chair, and asked,

"You wanted to see me?"

Spencer smiled and stood behind Lucia.

"I heard from Spencer that you're working with Davonnis Corp?" Esmae asked, staring at Lucia.

Hearing this, Lucia was stunned. She subconsciously turned to look at Spencer. Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Lucia's eyes darkened.

"Yes, Davonnis Corp has acquired Athegate's development plan of industrial park, and Webbex Group is in need of a transformation, so..."

"That's it?" Esmae didn't believe a word of it.

"Esmae..." Lucia was in pain. Spencer was present. How could she reveal the true purpose of this collaboration? Besides, even if he wasn't around, Lucia couldn't tell anyone else about this!

"Spencer complained to me that I defended you when you were too cold to him. Now, it seems like his grievance is real..." Esmae said deliberately to Lucia.

"What's he got to grieve about?" Lucia said with a chuckle of contempt.

"He wanted to use me to hurt Arthur. He did it. He wanted to use the Brown family and the Webbex Group's influence to expand his career. He also did it. Now that the baby and his father can't recognize each other. He still did it. I'm still his fiancee. All the crap that happened to him was all caused by himself. Is he wronged or am I wronged?"

By the end of Lucia's words, she was making a complaint.

"It was my idea to get you engaged, and now you're blaming me?" Esmae had to side with Spencer at a time like this, or else her position would collapse completely.

"I don't dare." Lucia lowered her eyes and said meekly, but the stubbornness in her heart never lessened.

"No?" Spencer said. He'd been wanting to say something for a while.

"Even if you had consulted Ms. Wilson before working with Arthur. Lucia, isn't that what you want? If I hadn't accidentally mentioned it to Ms. Wilson just now, I'm afraid she's still in the dark."

"The development of Webbex Group is critical to the survival of the entire company, and it is a unanimous decision by the company's top management," Lucia said, matter-of-factly.

"Esmae, you never ask about the Webbex Group. That's why I didn't tell you in advance."

"That's because I believe in you," Esmae's voice grew cold. "But you let me down again..."

When Esmae said this, Lucia and Spencer had very different reactions. Lucia frowned deeply and her eyes were full of bitterness, while Spencer was beaming with joy.

"If I'm gonna stop Lucia, I still need Esmae!" Spencer thought.

"Stop working with Davonnis!" Esmae ordered without giving Lucia a chance to explain further.

"Esmae, why are you using our relationship to threaten me again? You know that I can't give up my feelings for him, and I will never forget your kindness to me." Lucia's eyes were misty. She looked at Esmae helplessly.

"You make your own choice." Esmae had hardened her heart completely, not caring about Lucia's suffering at the moment.

The light in Lucia's eyes dimmed, and the depression returned. Every word Esmae said weighed down on her like a heavy burden, and she could barely breathe.

"And," said Esmae behind Lucia as she silently turned to leave the oppressive study.

"Helena and Otis took it the same way. If you want what's best for her, you'll stop carrying messages for both of them!"

Hearing this, Lucia looked back at Esmae with a grim look and did not answer.

By the time Lucia left the study, Spencer felt his anger drain away. He seized the moment to say to Esmae,

"Ms. Wilson, I hope you won't be soft-hearted this time. It's up to you to make Lucia stop thinking about Arthur."

Esmae was in anger, so she wasn't going to be nice to Spencer, either. She glared at him and said coldly,

"I don't need you to tell me that. Just mind your own business!"

Spencer smiled sheepishly, said good night to Esmae, and went back to his room, knowing that he would sleep well tonight.
