She Is A CEO

Kevin liked Nia's ambition and he smiled as he said, "Never mind Lucia and your grudge with her. Once Casper is caught, she'll come after you next. We have the advantage now, so why not take a chance? Lauren is just as strong as Arthur, and if we use him to our advantage through your sister, we can get whatever we want."

"You're right!" Nia's eyes lit up as if she could already see herself living in luxury for the rest of her life. "We still have Lauren!"

"So you need to teach your sister a thing or two," Kevin lightly touched Nia's chin. "Men are creatures of desire. It's better to have him in the palm of your hand sooner rather than later." Nia pouted and buried herself in Kevin's embrace saying, "I know... I'm letting her off easy."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Casper thought that Kevin and Nia would continue hiding like cowards after their betrayal but five days later, he received an invitation to celebrate Webbex Group acquiring Stable Growth. This was a blatant insult!

Casper was furious and wanted to tear up the invitation but Leon stopped him.

"Boss, don't be impulsive! This is our chance to catch them all at once while they're out in the open," Leon suggested.

Casper wasn't optimistic though, "Do you think Nia and Kevin are stupid? They wouldn't show themselves without being fully prepared."

"The higher they climb, the harder they fall," Leon sneered. "I don't believe that Lauren can protect them 24/7. As long as we know where they are..."

After exchanging glances with each other, Casper finally let go of the invitation coldly saying, "You prepare for it."

If Kevin and Nia dared show themselves, then there was no reason not to be ruthless!

On the day of the banquet, many celebrities attended out of respect for Lucia and Arthur who were hosting it; although it wasn't extravagant, it had an air of sophistication about it.

Most importantly though - after disappearing from high society for so long - Nia finally showed up looking worse for wear with injuries on her body that had almost healed but still limping around on crutches which drew many curious stares.

Naturally she had made friends among some socialites before this event, including some close girlfriends who whispered amongst themselves while standing together; meanwhile, Kevin stood by her side smiling gently yet confidently.

On the other side of the venue, Lucia and Arthur, as hosts of the banquet, didn't seem too enthusiastic. They casually greeted guests without holding any grand ceremony. The only thing they did was to invite an emcee on stage to announce that Stable Growth had become a subsidiary of Webbex Group.

The news about Stable Growth joining Webbex Group naturally attracted countless speculations. Even without Nia boasting about it, many people came over to inquire about it. Nia didn't say much but her girlfriends spread the news throughout the party.

"Nia's smug look is so annoying!" Juliana was straightforward and said with displeasure after glancing at Nia.

"Juliana is right," Eduard agreed. "Lucia, Arthur, why are you helping her?"

In Eduard's opinion, Lucia and Arthur didn't have to help Nia since everyone knew what she wanted by insisting on having this banquet.

"It's just a banquet that doesn't require much effort," Lucia smiled gently and said, "And I'm not trying to help her."

"You mean..." Kane seemed to have understood Lucia's meaning already.

Arthur put his arm around Lucia's waist and laughed, "Never mind who we're helping or not. We haven't all gathered together for a long time, so let's just enjoy tonight as spectators, because soon enough the main character will appear."

Eduard and his friends immediately understood their intentions. As they were talking among themselves, Daphne saw someone walking in from the entrance and told others, "He's here!"

Lucia and others looked towards the entrance together; Casper walked in alone looking sharp in his attire - now it was showtime!

As soon as Casper entered the venue, he felt something wasn't right; even though he had accumulated quite a bit of connections through Miles' reputation in Athegate, he hadn't reached everyone's attention yet, but upon entering here, he noticed that everyone present couldn't help but glance at him with obscure expressions while whispering amongst themselves.

"He actually came! There might be some good show later."

"You've heard about that thing too?"

"It's been spreading everywhere now; Of course I've heard about it."

"Shh... don't let him hear us or else we'll be next on his list."

"Haha! You're really funny..."

Casper could hear constant discussions around him. Although some were vague whispers, he pretended not knowing anything while heading towards where Lucia and Arthur were standing - when attending a banquet, one should always greet their host first!

As soon as Nia and Kevin spotted Casper entering the venue, they exchanged a glance before making their way over to him. A group of onlookers had already gathered around him, eager for some drama, so Nia and Kevin followed suit.

Seeing the two crowds approaching them, Lucia and Arthur signaled for their attendants who promptly brought over some champagne glasses. They were ready to receive their guests.

"Ms. Webb, congratulations on successfully acquiring Stable Growth," Casper said with a smile as he picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and approached Lucia. "Thank you," Lucia replied with an air of elegance and composure. "The acquisition went smoothly thanks to Mr. Berry's hard work."

After speaking, she raised her glass in acknowledgement towards Kevin who had just arrived beside Nia.

Casper frowned slightly as he looked towards them only to see that they were both beaming with joy.

"You're too kind, Ms. Webb," Kevin said while giving Casper a disdainful look.

Casper smirked before turning his attention back towards Nia and Kevin saying coldly, "So it's Miss Davidson and Mr. Berry! It's been days since we last met; do you not recognize me anymore?" "I didn't expect you to actually show up here, Casper," Nia retorted without trying to hide her displeasure at seeing him there.

"Well, if I received an invitation from Ms. Webb herself, then how could I refuse? Besides it's always nice attending events hosted by someone like her." He then deliberately glanced at the cast on Nia's foot before adding, "You should be careful, Miss Davidson; if you fall again, that leg might never heal properly."

"My injury is none of your business!" She raised her voice intentionally so that everyone nearby could hear what was being said between them.
