My Mommy Is A CEO

Being stopped by so many cars, no one knew if the driver and passengers in the car were all extremely scared. Surprisingly, not a single person got out of the car. Casper waved his hand to signal Leon to pull them out.

Leon was also cautious and walked over with his two subordinates carefully. However, before they could take action, the car door opened by itself and a stranger got out of the driver’s seat.

“Who are you people! Why did you stop me!”

Leon quickly ran to the back seat of the car and opened the door when he realized things were not looking good. However, there was no one on the back seat, and there was no sign of Nia and Kevin!

“Boss! We got played by Nia that bitch!”

Casper’s back was facing the car lights, and his face appeared even more eerie in the shadow’s projection, with only a pair of eyes faintly glowing.

At this point, Nia and Kevin had already returned to their villa, feeling very proud of themselves.

“Lauren’s plan is indeed meticulous. Casper didn’t even notice that we had already switched cars. He probably doesn’t know where to chase us now!” Kevin proudly clinked glasses with Nia as he poured themselves red wine, his smile almost reaching his ears.

“Although I owe Lucia a favor again today, our business has been done. Casper’s reputation has already been tarnished, and now we need to figure out how to deal with StandHill.” Nia sipped her wine as she planned and calculated.

“I’ve had a problem with Leon’s people. If Casper wants to be left alone, we need to take them out!” Kevin hated when he remembered the humiliation from Casper in front of them.

“Are you sure those people can be relied on?” Nia still wasn’t quite reassured.

“Don’t worry. It’s not just us who have objections to Casper’s suppressing. Just wait and see.” Kevin chuckled softly, his eyes hiding a hint of cunning.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of an engine outside the door. They both jumped up like springs, their bodies stiff and tense until they saw that it was Eve and Lauren who had arrived. Only then did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

They thought that Casper had brought someone to them.

“Nia, are you okay?” Eve rushed over to Nia and asked with concern.

“I’m fine. Why did you come so late?” Nia asked with a slight frown.

“I’m worried that Casper might harm you, so I begged Lauren to bring me here. Only when I see with my own eyes that you’re okay, can I feel at ease,” explained Eve.

Nia looked at Lauren standing at the entrance of the living room, seemingly reluctant to come over. Only after finishing her words, she smiled slightly and said,

“Mr. Osade, Eve is wayward. Thank you.”

“It looks like you’re all right,” Lauren said slowly, looking nonchalant. “You have been drinking?”

“Mr. Osade, would you like a drink?” Kevin noticed Nia’s expression falter and quickly spoke up to ease the tension.

“No.” In Lauren’s eyes, they weren’t worthy of sharing a drink with him.

Kevin awkwardly chuckled and stopped trying to engage him. He just smiled at Nia and Eve.

“Eve, don’t be so stubborn in the future. After everything is settled down safely, I will call to let you know. It’s almost midnight now and it was troublesome for Mr. Osade to bring you here. How can I face myself?” Although she didn’t speak much with Lauren, Nia knew how to tug at his emotions.

“Nia…” After hearing Nia’s words, Eve also felt embarrassed. She let go of her sister’s hand and walked over to stand next to Lauren.

“Lauren, I’m sorry for being so stubborn.”

Seeing Eve full of guilt on her face made Lauren coldly glance at Nia before speaking in a low voice,

“It doesn’t matter.”

After saying that sentence, he remained silent; the atmosphere in the living room instantly dropped below freezing point. Eve was naive and ignorant; she only thought that her own stubbornness had caused displeasure towards Lauren without knowing that he was targeting her sister instead.

“Okay then since it’s already late now, please don’t stay too long here anymore; hurry back with Mr. Osade.” Nia didn’t dare keep Eve any longer than necessary

Although Eve wanted to stay longer with her sister, she saw that Lauren’s expression wasn’t good so she could only agree. On their way back, Eve apologized again but this time, Lauren didn’t brush it off lightly. Instead he seriously asked,

“Eve, I know you want defend your sister but do you still think Casper is solely responsible for what happened between them?”

Eve glanced at him before slowly turning her head towards the dim night scenery outside. After awhile, she replied,

“She’s my sister…”

With just one sentence, Eve summarized all of her helplessness. Actually, she knew very well that her sister wasn’t who she used be anymore. If someone else were listening about how many men were involved in their drama, maybe they could rationally say something like “she has faults too”.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just once when she witnessed how arrogantly her sister treated other people. But because she wasn’t an outsider, she empathized with all of struggles as well as unspoken difficulties, and couldn’t help but assist her sibling.

Lauren raised an eyebrow slightly. He thought Eve never really considered right or wrong, but he never expected not only did she have clear thoughts, but also had long decided on which side to take.

“You should know why I’m willing to help your sister, right?”

Lauren looked ahead at the road illuminated by headlights and asked. Maybe his relationship with Eve was like exploring in the dark.

Eve slowly buried her head and pursed her lips without responding, but her bright red ears betrayed her.

Lauren knew Eve’s personality. He wasn’t fixated on an answer. This question was more of a statement to her.

The road ahead was long, and they were still moving forward.

A few days had passed since the celebration party, and news of Casper’s falling out with Nia had spread throughout Athegate. Stable Growth, once hailed as a rising star in the industry, was acquired by Webbex Group and quickly faded into obscurity. Meanwhile, StandHill became increasingly prominent under Miles’ influence. Casper’s business acumen proved fruitful for those who worked with him; he gradually formed his own faction within the company.

That day after meeting with clients near Branch of Davonnis, Lucia didn’t inform Arthur even though she knew he had a shareholder meeting that day.

During the shareholder meeting, Arthur was discussing next quarter’s strategic layout when Kyle’s phone buzzed incessantly. He glanced at the caller ID before saying to Arthur,

“Mr. Davies, I need to step out for a moment.”

Arthur didn’t say anything as Kyle left the conference room frowning; his intelligence wasn’t inferior to anyone else’s – Lucia calling him out like this definitely meant something important.

“Ms. Webb…” Kyle called Lucia back on his phone looking troubled.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
