She Is A CEO

"I asked the reporters who were involved in the report this morning about Lucia to be here to clarify the rumors. And the reporters sitting in the right half of the room can report what I'm telling you today," said Arthur who still ignored the noise because if he spoke, the room would be quiet.

Lucia looked at Arthur from the stage. She did not expect Arthur to invite all the reporters who were involved in the report. Obviously, his purpose was not only to clarify but also to do something more. "First of all," Arthur stood in the center of the stage, and his low and magnetic voice could be heard every corner of the hall through the speaker.

"Last night, were any of you at TalentScoop Company's Mr. Kaur's birthday party? Did anyone see me, Lucia, Eduard, and Jacob arguing?" When Arthur finished speaking, he gave the reporters a chance to say something, but no one did. So he lowered his eyes and continued. "Second, how did you conclude that Lucia was having an affair five years ago?"

This time, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question. Arthur gestured to a staff to hand over the microphone and listened to the male reporter's question.

"Mr. Davies, we know that you had nothing to do with Lucia's affair five years ago, and we don't know why you tried so hard to defend Lucia, but I was there. Lucia was lying in bed after our break-in. She did appear to have just had sex with someone. There are photos to prove this. We are not misreporting, aren't we?"

As the reporter spoke, Lucia, standing in the audience's seat, clenched her fist uncontrollably. She had not expected anyone to speak so plainly about what they had seen. No matter how powerful she was, the rumors still hurt.

Arthur's eyes grew sharp as the reporter's voice paused. Unconsciously, he glanced in Lucia's direction and saw her head was lowering. Without hesitation, he turned back to stare at the reporter and asked sternly.

"First of all, you didn't catch Lucia's so-called 'lover' five years ago. So, when Lucia was alone in her hotel room and not conscious, why didn't you consider other possibilities? Maybe she was raped. Maybe there was an accident. But you don't even think about it before you said that she had extramarital affairs."

The male reporter was speechless. Arthur's words were so reasonable that the reporters were talking again. Yeah, Lucia was alone in her hotel room. Why would anyone rush in and find no trace of any other man present and conclude that she cheated, instead of believing Lucia was assaulted?

Who made this claim directly public?

Suddenly, the public, who thought Lucia must have cheated on her husband five years ago, had new questions about what happened.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

All the reporters on the right side of the room talked about this topic, and none of the reporters on the left side said anything. They looked left and right. No one knew what they were thinking. The contrast was striking.

"Right now, I'm gonna tell you." Arthur gave a cold look at the reporter, who was still standing, and then turned his head in Lucia's direction. His eyes grew soft for a moment, then he slowly held out his hand in her direction.

Without hesitation, Lucia looked back at Arthur and walked in his direction.

Seeing the gossip heroine suddenly walking on the stage, the originally low voice of discussion turned into noise. Apparently, no one expected Lucia to be at the conference.

Lucia ignored themand walked slowly to Arthur's side. Then she raised her hand and placed hers in his palm.

Arthur's hands were so warm.

As soon as he touched Lucia's hand, Arthur gently pulled his hand and wrapped it around her tiny hand. He looked down at her with a slight smile before turning his head and continuing to address the assembled reporters.

"Because Lucia is my girlfriend!"

The crowd was stunned.

Arthur had been at Athegate for many years. Because of his dignity and good look, he had always been a favorite subject of the paparazzi. Unfortunately, no one ever caught him having any affairs. And he never revealed anything related to his relationships. Then the paparazzi gave up.

However, today, a man like him who seemed to have no interest in women actually directly held a press conference in the company to announce his love for Lucia, which showed his seriousness and sincerity. Lucia herself was taken aback by Arthur's words. She had guessed that his purpose was to clarify the rumors, but she had never expected Arthur to announce his relationship with her in public. She was sure that Arthur would not like his private life to be known to the public, and yet he did so on his own initiative, without making assumptions, in order to protect her.

Thinking of this, Lucia was moved and felt sorry at the same time. Therefore, after Arthur said this, she held her head high, faced all the reporters' suspicious eyes, responded to all the bad with a calm attitude, and stood together with him.

Arthur chuckled and went on. "Did Lucia become the CEO of Jibillion because of Eduard? Did you know that she graduated from MIT and is a student of Nike Federer, the well-known doctoral advisor of MIT, the academic master of Finance and Economics? Her thesis was published in a USA financial magazine, and that USA Finance and Economics hailed her as the most talented woman of the last decade?"

All the people present were surprised to hear her information. Most journalists were so focused on the scandal of five years ago that they forgot Lucia had changed. The fact that she came back and even became the CEO of Jibillion showed that she was not simple.

Arthur continued, "Do you think that Lucia needed someone else to get to where she is today? You can find out yourself whether Lucia knew Eduard when she got the offer. How dare you judge without even doing basic research?"

No one dared to respond.

Despite Lucia's impressive academic credentials, the fact that she was a protege of Nike Federer was enough to impress everyone.

Nike Federer was the most famous man in finance. Every financial academic report he published influenced the financial situation of the whole world. He had also worked at Southwind Tavern, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT, Yale, and the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research and others to engage in lecturing and researches. He was the unrivaled god of every person in the financial field.

The fact that Lucia was a student of Nike Federer spoke for her ability. The alleged exploitation relationship between her and Eduard also collapsed of itself

Arthur used his way to clarify the rumors one by one. Now, no one dared raise their hand to question it.
