My Mommy Is A CEO

“Nothing. Just… it’s been long since someone asked me that,” Lucia shook her head lightly and said.

“Oh! Sorry, Sophie. I forgot the time. It’s really late. You should go home and take a rest,” Lucia said apologetically and raised her eyes to check the clock on the wall.

“It’s fine. Good night. I’m leaving now.”

Sophie went over to the coat hanger to pick up her bag and coat. She saw her own car when she got out of the door. Jan had been waiting patiently at the gate of the complex.

“Jan, find out Lucia’s experiences in Athegate. I think she seems to have suffered a lot.”

It was 11:30 p. m. when Sophie returned to Arthur’s villa in the suburb. She found Arthur waiting for her on the couch as soon as she came in.

“Mom, where have you been? It’s late at night.” As soon as Arthur saw her, he went up to her and asked with concern at the same time.

“I met an old friend and chatted for a little longer. Haven’t I told you about it before I left?” Sophie made up an excuse, “Oh, right. You wanna test Theodore’s DNA?”

“Here you are.” Sophie took out a folded handkerchief from her bag and passed it to him before he could say anything, “This is Theodore’s hair.”

Arthur looked at the hair, stunned. Instead of taking it, he raised his head to look at Sophie, “Where did you get it, Mom?”

“Theodore goes to kindergarten, right? I went there and told the teacher a drama. Then, I got the hair!” Sophie told a lie without blinking.

“What is the drama?” Arthur didn’t believe a word she said.

“I told them my son died before getting married and his girlfriend didn’t admit it was his child. As a mother who lost her beloved son, I wished to confirm the identity of my grandson. So…” Sophie stopped speaking, but Arthur knew her unspoken words.

“Mom, did you have to make up stories about my death? And, don’t you think it will confuse Lucia?” Arthur frowned helplessly. They indeed got Theodore’s hair, but somehow, he just felt weird.

“Don’t be silly. You will live a long life. Lucia has a big heart and she won’t mind it.” Sophie stretched to touch his face carelessly.

She didn’t think death was a taboo subject. Also, it was just a made-up story, and there was no need to be serious about it.

Then she handed the handkerchief to her son seriously.

“Confirm Theodore’s identity ASAP, Arthur,” Sophie said in earnest.

As expected, the mole of CTD came with his boss to make an apology to Jibillion Inc. He admitted that he did it to increase the company’s value, then he handed over the accurate data to Lucia. But Lucia didn’t hold the mole’s accountable. Instead, she made the best of the time and put the crucial data into the evaluation.

Very soon, the evaluation results of CTD came out.

The case was completed successfully under the leadership of Lucia. A new broom sweeps clean. A great job performance like this spoke louder than anything else. The staff had been wholly convinced, and soon her fame spread in Jibillion Inc.

That afternoon, Lucia received a congratulatory call from Eduard Burton, the CEO of Jibillion Inc. He congratulated her for hitting a great success on her very first case.

Lucia hadn’t met Eduard in person, but she could tell that he was a very well-spoken man, and they had a very nice conversation.

“It’s amazing, Lucy! Mr. Burton seldom makes congratulatory calls himself,” Nia said after Lucia hung up the phone.

“Hmm.” Lucia smiled lightly and didn’t look complacent.

She didn’t make a big deal out of it because she believed she was just doing her job. Nia was confused by seeing Lucia’s calm face.

How could she always be so calm and peaceful like this?

Even so, Nia still admired Lucia a lot for being able to remain calm and peaceful whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation.

“Let’s hang out for a celebration tonight. It’s on me! After all, everyone has worked very hard!” Lucia sat back on her office chair and said.

“Great! We’ll let out hair down tonight!” Nia was a big fan of the entertainment activities and agreed with joy. Then she ran out to tell the news to other colleagues. Lucia found it funny to see Nia’s excited look!

If so, she would be home late tonight. Then Lucia called Sophie.

“Hi, Sophie. This is Lucia. The case was over and tonight I’ll hang out with my colleagues for a little celebration. Sorry but I have to go home late. Please take care of Theodore. Thanks.”

“No problem. I’ll wait till you come home,” Sophie said without hesitation. After she hung up, her face got very serious.

Shock overwhelmed her when she recalled what Jan had told her about Lucia’s past.

Did she misjudge Lucia?This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

But after spending a few days with Lucia, Sophie didn’t believe a genuine and intellectual woman like Lucia could be a stupid slut that cheated on her husband on the wedding anniversary.

Thinking of it, Sophie had an eureka moment and called Kyle immediately.

“Kyle, find out the specific time when Arthur went missing five years ago.”

Kyle worked for Arthur for only three years but he was really capable. It wouldn’t be a problem for him. As expected, he called Sophie back fifteen minutes later.

“Tell me now!” Sophie had never been so eager for the answer.

“Ma’am, it was after 10 p. m., on 19th August 2015.” Sophie put on a smile on her face as soon as Kyle finished speaking.

“Thanks, Kyle.” After hanging up, she almost rose to her feet with excitement as she had guessed it right.

If it was Arthur who had sex with Lucia accidentally, she could be pretty sure that Lucia was a girl of good morality. There was no love affair in the marriage because Lucia and Arthur didn’t know each other at all. They must have been set up to have sex.

Then she remembered how Jacob had taken Webbex Group away and changed its name into JTP Group, which confirmed her suspicion.

All she needed to do was wait for the proof that no one could change or doubt. It was Theodore’s DNA test report.

Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled over at the gate of a local DNA testing company. Arthur got out of the car.

The staff took the hair of Theodore and Arthur. Arthur paid the super high expedited fee. and they promised to give him the result before noon of the next day. After that, Arthur left.
