My Mommy Is A CEO

“Calm down, and don’t lose your ground. We are not afraid of them!” Although Blake himself was anxious, he still gave priority to comforting the workers.

“Mr. Mills, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Please take a seat.” Lucia stood up politely and greeted.

Balke and the others were not polite, and sat down in the same seats as last time, but no one dared to speak up.

“Mr. Curry didn’t come with you?” Lucia also sat down and asked with concern.

Blake’s eyes drifted a few times, but he didn’t answer anything.

Lucia smiled slightly, and did not continue to ask, but said directly,

“To tell you the truth, when I was negotiating with you last time, I found that Carlos’s manner of speaking is not bad. He must have given you a lot of ideas, right?”

“What do you want to say!” A foreman felt that Lucia’s hint was too incomprehensible, and asked directly, but as soon as he spoke rudely, Arthur glanced at him, and the foreman immediately lowered his head.

“I just want everyone to listen to two recordings.” Lucia still smiled slightly, and turned to look at Arthur.

Arthur took out his mobile phone to call Carlos, and played the confession in the hangar. After the playback was over, the expressions of the foremen had froze.

“You are all foremen but only Carlos is just a clerk, so I noticed him when he was giving you advice that day, and I sent someone to check and found that he even had a fake identity. At such a critical moment, Vian Construction hired him and he enthusiastically gave you advice, but in fact, it was ordered by someone to frame Webbex Group. As evidenced by the recording, Mr. Mills, if you think about it, you will know.”

Lucia said softly.

Blake frowned. There were recordings, and Lucia reminded him, so of course he knew that he and his fellow workers were being used.

“No wonder he suggested that we find Webbex Group who’s responsible for it. We never thought of this at the beginning.”

“And he also instigated the gathering and demonstration. We originally wanted to rely on the strength of the union…” Another foreman said.

“Blake, we have really been used, and made such a big fuss, this…” The third foreman said while sneaking a glance at Lucia, too guilty to speak.

Blake was not a person without courage. The truth was beyond doubt. He knew that he owed Webbex Group, so he stood up immediately and said,

“Ms. Webb, we apologize for our mistake. We misjudged the situation and caused you so much trouble under Carlos’s influence. Now, it’s up to you to decide what we can do to make it right.”

“Mr. Mills, you’re straightforward,” Lucia admired Blake’s courage and willingness to take responsibility for his actions. This only strengthened her resolve. “In that case, I have already invited various media outlets to attend a press conference later today where you will clarify the truth on behalf of Webbex Group.”

“I will do it; it’s what we should do,” Blake replied without hesitation. But as he sat down, his face showed signs of worry.

“Afterwards, follow Kane to his office where he will teach you how to handle the reporters since catching Carlos was not exactly honorable. We hope that you can cooperate with us,” Lucia observed Blake’s expression and spoke accordingly.

“Okay, we’ll follow your instructions.” As soon as Blake finished speaking, a foreman beside him tugged at his hand meaningfully but didn’t say anything else. He led them straight towards Kane until they were stopped by a low magnetic voice calling out his name.

“Mr. Mills, wait.” It was Arthur who spoke up this time.

“Mr. Harrington from the union is my friend too; last time you explained everything about unpaid wages in detail which helped him understand better about your situation. I’ll assign another lawyer who will work together with Mr. Harrington in order for both of them help get back your salaries.” Arthur finally smiled gently at them all after explaining himself thoroughly.

“What?” Not just Blake but even other foremen were stunned by this news – did they hear correctly?

Blake quickly looked over at Lucia who nodded slightly, causing warmth spread throughout his body – even though he was a big manly man! When he tried speaking again, there was an unexpected lump in his throat. “But after what we’ve done…how could you…”

Earlier when one of their colleagues had pulled him aside earlier asking if he could persuade Lucia into helping them retrieve their unpaid wages, something which he couldn’t bring himself around doing – never would’ve thought that someone like Arthur would step forward instead!

Arthur couldn’t help but deepen his smile further seeing how much backbone this man possessed!

If not for him being so upfront just now, then perhaps Arthur wouldn’t have been able to accept Lucia’s suggestion so easily or be willing enough help these workers out since those who hurt her didn’t usually get off lightly!

“I have discussed with Lucia, and you are all just being used. In the end, you are all victims. Lucia is also worried about you, so she provided shade for you and even delivered water every day. Now that the truth has been revealed, your situation needs to be resolved. Lucia said that everyone behind you has their own difficulties, so I am willing to help.” Arthur explained, never leaving out Lucia’s name.

After listening to Arthur’s words, Blake felt his eyes welling up and his heart aching. And he was looking at his fellow workers beside him who were also getting emotional and teary-eyed over the issue of unpaid wages. It may just be small talk for others but for them it was a matter of survival.

Just as Lucia was about to remind Blake to leave with Kane, Blake suddenly knelt down in front of her with a loud thud. She quickly stood up as he choked out,

“Ms. Webb… thank you! Thank you!”

As soon as Blake knelt down, other workers followed suit. There was no doubt that Lucia had become their savior.

“Oh please don’t do this,” said an overwhelmed Lucia who only wanted to lend a helping hand without expecting any gratitude in return.

Arthur saw how adorable she looked when flustered like this – his sweet and kind-hearted Lucia always had been like this.

Before Lucia could act on anything else, Kane helped Blake back up while laughing, “Now do y’all know what kind of person our Ms. Webb is?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“We know, we know,” chimed in Blake repeatedly, “We’ll make sure everything gets settled later on and clear Ms. Webb’s name!”

“Alright then go with Kane now,” urged an embarrassed-looking Lucia while pushing them towards the door.

As soon as they left, Lucia was enveloped by Arthur’s embrace. He teased her gently, “Tsk tsk, telling people about your kindness again.”
