My Mommy Is A CEO

“It’s just an engagement,” Otis’ serious face was now filled with laughter, and happiness could be seen in his eyebrows and eyes. “I’ve been hiding it from you guys to give you a surprise.”

Over there, Arthur and Lucia each held their son and daughter as they walked towards Otis and Helena. Arthur leaned over to Lucia’s ear and said, “You knew all along?”

“Only you three brothers couldn’t guess. Everyone else knew,” Lucia chuckled speechlessly. The Davis family brothers’ slowness in this regard was truly inherited.

Arthur chuckled speechlessly; he really hadn’t thought about it.

As soon as Helena saw Lucia, she rushed over without any of the previous gracefulness. She hugged both Lucia and her baby tightly, happily saying, “Lucia, you finally came! I missed you so much!”

“You’re the one who should feel guilty,” Lucia felt sorry for Helena’s cold skin but was happy for her happy expression. “You didn’t answer how many calls I made just to give us this surprise.”

Helena stuck out her tongue playfully.

“Okay everyone, let’s go inside before we get too cold,” both families had gathered together now. Esmae said happily.

“Auntie…”Lucia held her baby as she approached Esmae softly calling out; she missed her very much.

Esmae gently hugged Lucia; if not for this surprise visit, she wouldn’t have gone so long without seeing her.

“Let’s all go inside now. Helena’s face is turning red from the cold.” Sophie said with a smile on her face.

“In the future we can call out ‘sister – in – law’ openly.” Bailey joked while walking alongside his brothers.

“In the future all of your younger brothers will be under my control.” Helena never minced words at home – being the youngest sister meant that if there were younger siblings around, then they would inevitably become targets of teasing.

“You dare!” Bailey accused her.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Helena! I’ll listen to whatever you say!” Douglas had always been a good boy.

“Douglas! You dare betray me?” Bailey grabbed Douglas by his earlobe shouting loudly at him.

“Helena!” Douglas quickly turned to Helene seeking help – if not for Otis holding him back, then Helene would have really gone over there to help Douglas sort things out.

Seeing that Helena got along well with the Davis family brothers, Shawn and Reynolds also relaxed a bit more.

The group continued laughing and joking as they walked towards their destination while Esmae and Sophie were ecstatically happy. Sophie linked arms with Esmea, saying, “Esmae, from now on we are even closer than ever.”

“Unfortunately, Shawn and Reynolds aren’t girls, or else…” Esmae looked disappointed.

“Mom!” Shawn and Reynolds couldn’t help but laugh at their mother’s comment. Was she really their own mother?

The engagement between the youngest daughter of the Brown family and the eldest son of the Davies family was a small affair with only close friends in attendance. Despite this, each guest gave heartfelt blessings as Otis and Helena officially became engaged under the holy bells of the church. The two families were now joined in matrimony.

Afterwards, the Browns stayed at Davies Manor to live together. News of their union quickly spread throughout Wall Street as well as the shipping industry. The Davis family was a giant on Wall Street while the Browns were domestic freight magnates; this alliance would undoubtedly break many existing balances within these industries.

At New Year’s Eve dinner hosted by Davies Manor, many people who didn’t receive invitations still tried to find ways to attend in hopes of climbing up society’s ladder by getting closer to these two powerful families.

The most dazzling figures at dinner were Lucia and Helena – one an exquisite oriental beauty while other a stunning princess – both captivating everyone with their presence. However, they had bodyguards from both Davis family and Brown family taking turns protecting them so no one could get too close.

During dinner conversation, Arthur received an unexpected phone call which prompted him to leave alone upstairs after checking the caller ID number.

“What is Arthur doing?” Helena curiously asked Lucia when she noticed he left suddenly.

“Kyle called him,” Lucia informed Helena continuing, “There must be something happening back home that requires his attention.”

“Lucia,” Helena turned towards her, “I’ve been accompanying Otis back home recently where I heard about Casper’s situation. Have you found any way yet to deal with him?”

Bailey interjected, “We already confirmed his identity so we just need to destroy StandHill he owns along with Wood Family if they oppose us; it’ll prevent them from running rampant in Lepus.”

Bailey couldn’t help but feel disgusted towards Miles.

Lucia laughed lightly at Bailey’s frankness and explained, “Although we have enough ability to deal with StandHill and the Wood family, all we can do is leave Casper with nothing. We can’t make Jacob suffer the appropriate punishment. We can’t rush things; we need to plan carefully.”

“You and Arthur are patient, but if it were me…” even Helena was getting impatient.

“It’s okay. He will receive the appropriate punishment,” Lucia said confidently.

As they were talking, Arthur returned. Helena was impatient and asked before Lucia could speak up, “Arthur, what did Kyle say?”

Arthur looked happy as he immediately told everyone, “Kyle has received news that Miles has been using patrols as an excuse to stay in StandHill recently. Casper couldn’t do anything about it, so now he has started investigating StandHill’s finances secretly. It seems our previous warning was effective.”

“Really?” Lucia had thought Miles would continue to hesitate.

“I understand,” Douglas may not be worldly-wise yet but he could tell there was more going on here. “You want Miles to personally expose Casper’s identity because only he is qualified to suspect him, right?”

“Yeah,” Arthur nodded with a smile.

“Then let us hope that the matter of Casper is resolved soon and that Arthur and Lucia achieve their goals as soon as possible,” Douglas said happily for his brother while raising his glass in a rare serious moment.

Although just a kid himself, now he could lead everyone seriously like this – they couldn’t help but laugh together while raising their glasses together wishing for Arthur and Lucia’s success soon.

Outside the window, the snow continued falling heavily but inside it felt warm like springtime with laughter filling the air.

The New Year atmosphere was lively; on New Year’s Day, everywhere bustled with activity where pedestrians came back-and-forth non-stop amid endless cheers of joyous voices.

Taking advantage of this time, Lauren took Eve out for some fresh air, never expecting her also bringing along Nia and Kevin.

Seeing Nia and Kevin smiling faces in the lobby, Lauren’s face suddenly sank – Eve looked up at him sensing something off yet didn’t say anything about it.
