She Is A CEO

Chapter 38 Making a Third Party the Instrument of a Crime



It was reported that Webbex Group's young lady, Lucia, who betrayed Jacob five years ago, came back to the country. First, she got an offer from Eduard of Jibillion Inc, and then she had an affair with Arthur, trying to take back the JTP Group.

When the public saw these reports, those who were already familiar with Lucia immediately began to criticize Lucia.

Some people asked Jibillion Inc to fire Lucia by leaving comments on its official Twitter account, and some people deluged Branch of Davonnis by calls, asking to see Arthur and tell him what Lucia truly was. Others gloated that Lucia and Eduard were a perfect match. A bitch was worthy of a womanizer.

In short, there was a huge wave of negative comments and very few people spoke up for Lucia.

There were so many negative comments and cursing that official website of Jibillion Inc nearly broke down. There was no way Eduard could stop Lucia from knowing about it even if he wanted to.

It took Lucia almost no effort to know who was behind all this. Five years ago, Jacob and Poppy came to the hotel with a bunch of reporters. Now they were again using their clout with the media to go against her. Lucia wasn't surprised at all. She just didn't expect it would happen so soon.

Nia stood at Lucia's desk with an anxious look on her face as she looked through the messages on the company website. As Lucia's face grew grimmer and grimmer, she finally stepped forward. "Stop looking at them. Those people don't know the truth, and it'll only upset you more."

Lucia was reading a comment that said, "Lucia, you little bitch. No matter how bitchy you are, you should stay away from Arthur and Eduard!" Lucia felt bad when she saw these words

Back at Athegate, she had not meant to hurt anyone, but now it seemed impossible.

She really become a target of public criticism now.

"Well, Poppy did a pretty good job of making a third party the instrument of a crime." Lucia logged out of her Twitter account and said with a slight frown.

"Lucy..." Nia was relieved to see that Lucia finally stopped checking the negative comments. "Mr. Burton has arranged PR department to deal with this matter. It is all gossip and it will be not popular soon." "It won't." Lucia knew this was not something PR could handle. Poppy wouldn't stop until she was in big trouble.

Nia pressed her lips together and couldn't say anything.

Lucia picked up her cell phone and called Arthur. The report just emerged this morning, and now it had caused a huge negative impact on Jibillion Inc. She wanted to know what was going on with Arthur. Arthur picked up the phone before it rang for the third time, and his first question was, "Lucia, how are you?"

Lucia was touched when heard this. She asked him, "Is everything okay there?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Yeah, it's just that I received some nuisance calls. I'm prepared for the press conference, which can be held this afternoon."

"Press conference?" Lucia was puzzled.

"Yes, press conference. You can talk to Eduard this afternoon and ask for a leave. I will solve this problem." Arthur sounded as calm as ever.

"What is the press conference about?" Lucia wanted to know Arthur's solution. She didn't want to trouble him. They just had an honest talk last night, but all this happened early this morning. She felt guilty. "You'll find it out this afternoon." Arthur was not anxious now, on the contrary, he sounded buoyant.

When Arthur deliberately made it secret, Lucia smiled and then said, "So, I don't have to do anything?"

"Of course, I can handle it all," said Arthur firmly.

Arthur's words made Lucia narrow her eyes slightly, and once again she deeply realized the happiness of being cared for. After hanging up the phone, her smile was still on her face, which stunned Nia. "Lucy, are you dating Mr. Davies?" Nia couldn't help but wonder when she noticed Lucia's soft tone on the phone.

"Yes," Lucia answered frankly. Now that she and Arthur were officially together, there was no need for her to keep it a secret.

"Really?" Nia almost jumped with surprise when Lucia finally admitted her relationship with Arthur.

Lucia smiled and nodded slightly.

Theodore was so amazing!

'Theodore asked Arthur to pretend to be Lucia's boyfriend, but in the end, Arthur and Lucia actually get together. That's amazing!' Nia thought to herself.

As a child, Theodore could not control the details, but his prophecy actually came true!

Nia even thought that the next time she met a man she liked, she would ask Theodore to help with the planning!

Lucia told Nia about her next schedule, and then went to the president's office to talk to Eduard. Unexpectedly, she saw Eduard in a dilemma.

"Okay, got it." Eduard had just hung up the phone after answering a call from Jibillion Inc's headquarters when Lucia entered the office. The expression on his face became grave when he saw her coming. Lucia sensed this and did not speak first. Instead, she waited for Eduard to speak. Subconsciously, she knew that the call must have been about her.

Sure enough, after asking Lucia to sit down on the sofa, Eduard said in a quandary, "Lucia, take a break for a while."

He just received a phone call from Jibillion Inc headquarters in Germany. On the phone, the senior management asked him about the matter of Lucia and reminded him that the market in the European Region would be affected if the situation continued.

As the head of Jibillion Inc European Region, Eduard tried his best to explain that it was a malicious rumor. For the greater good, the headquarters still suggested Lucia to be suspended temporarily to put the matter to rest.

Lucia was relieved to hear Eduard's words. It was a smart move. Now that she was suspended, the public would surely feel that their suggestion was adopted once they knew the news, and the negative impact on Jibillion Inc would be smaller. Therefore, Lucia could totally understand Eduard. "Okay, I'll go to the personnel department to go through formalities and wait for the reinstatement notice."

Seeing that Eduard was silent, Lucia remembered why she was looking for him and continued, "By the way, Arthur has just informed me that he's going to take me to a press conference this afternoon to deal with rumors, and I'll remind him to remove the negative comments about the company as well."

"Really?" Eduard looked at Lucia, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Are you with him already?"

As one of the people involved in the rumor, Eduard could probably guess how Arthur put a stop to it.

Lucia froze for a moment and nodded gently. Eduard was also in trouble because of her, so she wouldn't hide it from him.

Eduard was disappointed at this. If he was the one who drove her home last night, was there any chance they could be together?
