She Is A CEO

Was she just trying to use him?

Arthur immediately dismissed this thought once it came to his mind.

'How is it possible? Lucia is not that kind of girl, but... how can she explain her association with Jacob?'

Seeing Arthur pondering, Juliana, who was vindictive, stated the 'truth' that she believed in a soft voice.

"Arthur, to level with you. I once talked frankly and sincerely with Lucia. Before you explained her past to me, I told Lucia that I didn't think she deserved you, but she just gave me an equivocal answer. Later you explained it clearly to me. I let it slide and decided to take her as my friend. I trusted her and attended the dinner party with her. But have you ever thought about why she suddenly disappeared? At that dinner party, I know no one but Eduard. If she disappears, Eduard and I will go to look for her separately. Why... why did I meet those hooligans! Arthur, do you think it's just a coincidence?"

Though Juliana said those words with hatred, they made sense. But Juliana's speculation was based on Lucia having a very bad character. Arthur still could not believe that Lucia was such a vicious person. "In fact, I went to her just now..." Arthur thought about it and confessed, "But her statement is different from yours. She said you asked her to take you to the party, and she got a hotel room because you had an upset stomach..."

While Arthur was speaking, Juliana's eyes flickered in a flash and then turned fierce. She interrupted him without waiting for Arthur to finish speaking,

When Arthur spoke, Juliana's eyes flickered for a moment and then turned into fierceness, and She interrupted him without waiting for Arthur to finish speaking, shouting hysterically and angrily, "You believe her? I asked her to take me to the party, plotted her disappearance, went to look for her, and then made myself gang-raped? Arthur?"

After shouting these words, especially the word that stung her heart, Juliana almost went crazy again. With bloodshot eyes, she stood up and glared at Arthur as if she would tear Arthur or herself into pieces if Arthur dared to raise any objection.

"Julia, calm down. That's not what I mean..." Arthur stood up to hug Juliana's quivering body. Afraid that she could not control herself, he had no choice but to comfort her. "I trust you. I do." Arthur's trust in Lucia was shattered by Juliana.

"Arthur, what should I do in the future... You feel distressed for Lucia. How about me?" Juliana burst into tears, speaking about her grievances.

It was all Lucia's fault!

That night Kane and she went to find Lucia together. Then they left the hotel. There were a lot of alleyways near the hotel. She didn't want to go there. But Kane said that the people who took away Lucia would stay off the road, so they went into the alleyway.

Juliana still remembered the scene at that time. The alleyway flashed with dim light. She gripped Kane's arm and walked forward. Suddenly, several strange men appeared in front and fondled her giving no chance for her to explain. Kane and she couldn't resist four men. Before being knocked out, she saw that Kane was hit in the head and fell to the ground. Then she lost consciousness.

When Juliana woke up again, the crescent moon in the sky was setting. She looked at the moon and blinked confusedly. The air that reeked of garbage, urine, and something disgusting reached her nostrils. Juliana struggled to get up. The sting between her legs came. She looked down at her naked body, on which were hickeys and bite marks. Between her legs, dark red blood mixed with sticky white stuff wrapped around her thighs like a poisonous snake.

At that moment, Juliana screamed uncontrollably!

Kane disappeared, and with what was left of her mind, Juliana put on her torn clothes and walked out of the alleyway. Fortunately, at that time, a kind taxi driver sent her home and asked her if she needed him to call the police. Juliana was very scared. She was a noble lady, doted on by her family and the Davies family. She could not let word get out, so she hugged herself tightly and returned to Arthur's villa. Nearly ten days had passed, but Juliana couldn't forget everything that happened that night, the smell, and the fact that she had become filthy, and all of this was due to Lucia! Tears of weakness welled up in her eyes, but hatred and anger filled her eyes. Arthur looked at Juliana, his childhood friend, and could only hold her tightly in distress.

"Julia, don't be afraid. I'm with you..." He soothed her.

After Arthur left, Lucia looked at the door with tears in her eyes for a long time. She did not cry but just wept silently.

It was a kind of feeling beyond pain.

After a long while, Lucia stood up and walked to the bathroom like a marionette. She took off her clothes and smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes when she saw herself in the mirror. 'Lucia, don't you deserve to have happiness?'

A few days passed. Lucia took the medicine prescribed by the doctor. And sure enough, she no longer slumbered for a long time. She could feel her body recover, but the wound in her heart might never heal again.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucia missed Theodore very much. But when Lucia called to contact him, Sophie said she would have Theodore stay in the USA until the winter vacation ended. Sophie also invited Lucia and Arthur to New York to celebrate the new year. Lucia knew Sophie had no idea about things happened recently. Looking at Theodore's bright smile, and hearing him talk about how nice Grandpa and Uncle were to him, Lucia finally said nothing.

When sleeping at night, Lucia could only hug herself tightly.

A week off given by Eduard to Lucia passed quickly. Lucia was going to work tomorrow. She didn't want to think about Arthur or guess why Juliana was lying. All she needed to do now was to work and keep working.

Lucia joined five projects as soon as she returned to work, and she worked overtime and didn't go home until eleven o'clock in the evening every day. She constantly read documents and searched for information, not allowing herself to rest.

Nia soon sensed that something was wrong with Lucia, and one night, Nia finally asked, "Lucy, did something happen to you?"

Nia was puzzled because Arthur no longer came to pick Lucia up.
