My Mommy Is A CEO

Although the matter was clarified, Casper’s anger still persisted. He looked coldly at Sage who had been beaten beyond recognition, and even raised his leg and kicked his broken left leg. Seeing that the leg was indeed broken, he then said to other subordinates,

“Take him to get treatment for his injuries. I won’t blame you anymore since you were beaten up like this.”

Sage quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the words.

As soon as his subordinate left with Sage, Leon immediately comforted Casper,

“Boss, luckily Sage escaped and Lucia and the others don’t know that we were behind this.”

“Do you think Lucia is stupid? Is Arthur stupid?” Casper gave Leon a cold glance.

Leon hung his head and dared not speak.

“However… with the recent uproar, Nia and Kevin haven’t come forward to clarify anything. There must be some resentment between them and Lucia, so this incident hasn’t been completely fruitless,” thought Casper, his anger easing slightly.

“Boss, you’re wise.” Leon quickly flattered.

“Wise? No matter how wise I am, I still need you to be able to do things well. You should give other people a good whip, and you must be cautious in doing things in the future. Sage is a lesson from the past.” Casper said coldly.

“Yes,” Leon nodded obediently.

In the evening, Leon went to the hospital to see Sage. He saw that Sage was wrapped in bandages all over his body and felt more compassion for him than Casper did.

“I can’t believe you were beaten up like this, Sage. You’ve suffered too.”

“Leon, will the boss still blame me?” Sage asked cautiously. “He’s always suspicious. What if he thinks I deliberately leaked the information and comes after me…”

“No,” Leon thought Sage was just scared, so he comforted him, “The boss knows that Blake caught you and you couldn’t do anything about it. Of course he won’t suspect you.”

“That’s good… otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do…” Sage exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Take good care of your injury and rest well. The boss needs someone by his side, so you should focus on getting better as soon as possible and go back to work for the boss.” Leon smiled.

“Got it,” Sage said with a grin.

After comforting Sage for a while, Leon left. When everything around him quieted down, Sage took out his phone and after thinking for a moment, sent a message out. Once it was successfully sent, he deleted all the information.

The turmoil subsided like this, but Eduard had been restless these days. It turned out that he was accidentally photographed by the paparazzi when he accompanied Daphne to the maternity checkup. For a while, gossip entertainment pointed the finger at him. After Daphne knew that the pregnancy might be exposed, she was even more shy, because she was unmarried, and she still had some traditional ideas.

Daphne didn’t have many friends in Athegate, only Lucia and Juliana were her closest, especially since she became pregnant and her emotions were all over the place. So she often went to see Lucia. Even if it was just sitting on the couch watching her work, it made her feel much better.

“Yeah, she’s with me. Don’t worry,” Lucia reassured Eduard on the phone with a chuckle.

“She always runs to you. Daphne’s pregnancy has made her moody lately. Sometimes I haven’t even done anything and she still finds fault with me…” Eduard complained bitterly to Lucia.

“That’s normal. Do you have any complaints?” Lucia smiled at Daphne and asked Eduard on the other end of the phone.

“How could I? I would love nothing more than to worship her like a god but she finds fault with me.” Eduard felt extremely wronged.

“Okay okay, I’ll calm her down for you so don’t worry,” seeing how humble Eduard sounded, Lucia found it amusing and comforted him before hanging up.

“Does he feel wronged?” After Lucia hung up the phone, Daphne pouted and asked.

“Eduard is straightforward; he doesn’t know what’s going through your mind…” Sitting next to Daphne, Lucia comforted her.

“Hmph! He’s stupid!” Daphne said bluntly.

“I know you’re complaining about him because of media issues but you are a very subtle person.” Of course, knowing why Daphne was finding fault with Eduard made it easy for Lucia to soothe her by smiling at her gently.

“I also know that he didn’t mean it…” After being comforted by Lucia like this, Daphne thought that maybe she had been too harsh towards Eduard in saying,

“But every time I see his smiling face, I just want to beat him up.”

“Haha! That sentence should really be said directly to Eduard!”Lucia laughed heartily.

“Lucia, I keep coming here all the time. Have I ever bothered you?” Although Daphe felt happy when Lucia was laughing, she still felt a little guilty and asked hesitantly.

“No way! You’re so quiet; you’ve never disturbed me before.” Lucia patted Daphe’s hand back and said reassuringly.

“Do you have time now, Lucia?” Daphe asked again after thinking for awhile.

“What happened?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“In fact, I’m supposed to go for an examination at the hospital today. I’m annoyed with Eduard and I’m afraid that the media will catch something again. So, Lucia, could you accompany me together?” Daphe blushed as she said this shyly.

“Of course! I can go.” Lucia said readily. Even if there was something else going on, she would still cancel it, “I’ll accompany you together.”

In the afternoon, Lucia accompanied Daphne to the hospital. It was quite a coincidence that they ran into Lauren and Eve again, just like last time. However, this time Eve seemed much happier, like a cheerful little bird perched next to Lauren with a beaming smile on her face. But as soon as she saw Lucia, her smile froze instantly.

Lucia had always been a thorn in Eve’s heart.

“How coincidental,” Lucia greeted them with a smiling face.

“Uh-huh,” Lauren responded when he noticed Lucia’s radiant smile. He didn’t realize that Eve’s eyes darkened beside him.

“Are you bringing Miss Davidson for another check-up?” Lucia glanced at Eve and asked with an apparent lack of concern in her voice.

“Eve has been feeling much better lately, so I brought her here for an examination. I didn’t expect to run into you and… this young lady,” Lauren replied casually without trying to hide anything from them.

However, Eve felt uneasy hearing them discussing about herself behind her back. And seeing how concerned Lucia appeared at the moment made it all feel fake and insincere to her.

“I’m accompanying my sister for prenatal check-up,” said Lucia referring Daphne as her sister. Sensing that there might be something on Lauren’s mind since he kept staring at her intently, she proposed, “Is it convenient for us to have a private chat?”

Lucia’s suggestion hit the spot with Lauren who turned his head towards Eve saying, “Eve, wait here for me while I talk with Lucia.”

Since last time they met up with Lucia wasn’t disclosed by Eve to Nia yet; therefore Lauren wasn’t too worried about leaving them alone together this time around either.

Eve was reluctant but nodded anyway, burying down her head without looking up at how both Lucie and Lauren left together side-by-side.
