She Is A CEO

Chapter 1117 Overestimate His Abilities

The subordinate glanced at Leon, who was already trembling with his phone in hand, and gave a positive answer.

"You guys search around together. Maybe he just accidentally lost his phone," Miles said. However, he knew clearly that Casper must have been kidnapped by someone. The phone was something he never left behind and he couldn't have left Leon and the others behind on his own.

He needed to find Lucia for this matter.

Of course, he cannot say it directly, so he can only use this method to stall for time.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

After hanging up the phone, one of the men conveyed Miles' message to Leon. It was only then that Leon realized what had happened and he cursed loudly.

"Accidentally lost?! He was clearly kidnapped! We won't be able to find him if we search now!"

"What do you want to do then?" Miles' subordinates did not obey Leon and asked expressionlessly.

"It must be Lucia Webb!" Casper disappeared after speaking with Lucia alone, so Leon immediately placed the blame on her.

"I'll go find her and bring him back!" He rushed towards the door after speaking. Miles' subordinates looked at each other and decided to follow Miles' instructions by searching nearby first, just to make it look like they were doing something.

Lucia was feeling very bad now. She looked coldly at Leon, who was still struggling against the security guards and cursing at her, and her anger had been building up.

"Despicable woman! Tell me, did you kidnap Mr. Wood?!" Leon struggled like a trapped animal. He was loyal to Casper and didn't care about breaking Lucia's taboo as long as he could bring Casper back! "Is there something wrong with your mind?" Facing Leon who was vulgar, Lucia would not be polite to him, "What did I kidnap Casper for?"

"He disappeared after following you out! It's definitely you! Don't think I don't know that you've always been dissatisfied with Mr. Wood, eager to get rid of him!" Leon shouted angrily. If Lucia hadn't restrained him in the security room beforehand, it would have attracted countless onlookers by now.

Lucia sneered, "You got that right, but..."

"He did talk to me, but I left in less than twenty minutes. Where Casper goes and who takes him is not my concern. Do I have to be responsible for his safety?"

"Don't try to argue!" Leon was sure it was Lucia, "It's you who kidnapped Mr. Wood. Release him immediately, or else..."

Leon's words came to an abrupt halt because his brain instantly crashed. What could he possibly threaten Lucia with?

"Or else!?" Leon couldn't stand the oppression anymore and spoke without thinking, "I'll call the police right now! Lucia, if you don't want to make things worse, hand over Mr. Wood now!"

"A clear conscience fears no accusation. Go ahead and call the police," Lucia didn't take this threat seriously at all.

Leon was taken aback by Lucia's straightforward response. He froze and forgot to struggle.

Lucia raised her hand and signaled for the security guard to release him, then gave him a harsh ultimatum,

"Casper's disappearance has nothing to do with me. I advise you not to cause trouble here. You'd better go find someone else instead of bothering me. Who knows... what he might be going through right now?"

Leon's face turned from red with anger to pale with realization that Lucia wouldn't admit anything. He realized he had been too reckless in coming alone into her territory without knowing his place. He knew when it was time to leave, so he threw down a tough remark before turning around,

"Lucia, just wait for me!"

But before he could finish his words, Leon felt a strong force grab his arm from behind and knee him in the back of his leg, causing him to kneel down instantly.

He tried struggling but felt something heavy on his back as someone used their knee against it while saying coldly from behind,

"Waiting for what?" Arthur's voice made Leon shiver uncontrollably.

Arthur stood tall above Kyle who had pinned down Leon with one move while glaring at him furiously.

"How did you get here?" Lucia walked up next Arthur curiously asked.

"The manager came back reporting that Casper was causing trouble looking for you so I came over... didn't expect meeting a mad dog." Arthur spoke coldly while giving Leon another glance full of disdain. Despite being pinned down by Kyle's knee on his backside, Leon's cold sweat formed on his forehead due to fear. Having spent years in gang mingling among people gave Leon an idea about who were real tough guys or not. Although Arthur seemed aloof yet arrogant without getting involved much with others, such people were born rebellious and once provoked, they could do anything!

Leon wasn't afraid of Lucia but feared Arthur instead.

"Casper went missing and thinks I kidnapped him... he even made me laugh," said Lucia smiling wryly yet there was no humor in her eyes.

"Kidnapped?!" Arthur raised his voice slightly as he walked up close towards where Leon knelt only ten centimeters away. "Kyle, dirty your hands and throw this guy out."

Kyle followed orders and dragged Leon outside. Leon allowed the seemingly refined Kyle to drag him, looking disheveled and unable to show any signs of his earlier arrogance towards Lucia. Once Kyle had taken Leon away, Arthur's gaze softened as he touched Lucia's head. "Are you upset?"

"It's not wise to get angry with lowly people," Lucia replied with a glint in her eye, unintentionally adding a hint of coquettishness in her tone as she buried herself in Arthur's embrace. "But I really am angry." "Leave this matter to me; you don't need to get involved," Arthur patted Lucia on the back.

"Mm-hmm, I'm too lazy to deal with it anyway," Lucia said lazily. Every time she met Casper, it took a lot of mental energy from her. The hatred and anger flowing through her veins made her particularly tired. As soon as Lucia finished speaking, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and raised it towards Arthur - Miles was calling.

Arthur took the phone and pressed the answer button before dismissing everyone else from the security room.

"Ms. Webb, you should already know about Casper's disappearance?" Miles didn't bother with basic pleasantries now that he was talking directly with Lucia.

"Yeah... I just kicked out Leon. He thought I did something to Casper." Lucia spoke slowly.

"As expected..." Miles' voice became lighter, "I have no choice but to ask for your help again. If anything happens to him now..." He couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence.
