She Is A CEO

Chapter 1043 Turning the Tables

Nia rolled her eyes and looked away without saying a word.

"After this blood transfusion, you are not allowed to interfere with Eve's treatment anymore. If there is another time, even though your blood type is rare, it's not impossible to find another donor!" Lauren glared at Nia and warned her before turning around and disappearing into the moonlight.

Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief after Lauren left. But when she slumped onto the couch, her body began to tremble slightly.

Lauren's gaze just now was as if he wanted to kill Nia! How could Nia not be afraid when she thought of Lauren's identity? "Nia, what you said just now was too blunt. It would be easy for Lauren to kill us." Kevin also spoke with fear in his voice.

Nia glared at Kevin angrily. "Weren't you the one who spilled everything first?"

"I just wanted to make our position clear. I didn't expect that you couldn't hold back from speaking out right away," Kevin replied coldly while feeling unhappy about Nia blaming him for everything.

"Now even Lauren has hostility towards us..." he continued before being interrupted by Nia pounding on the couch in anger.

"It's all because of Lucia! She won't let go of Stable Growth! We're stuck between a rock and a hard place!" Nia exclaimed furiously.

"Lucia is a problem we'll have to deal with later. Right now we need to solve Casper first. If we're still under his control, then there won't be any point in trying anything against Lucia," Kevin said as he suddenly came up with an idea that made his eyes darken slightly.

"What can we do right now?" asked Niall sullenly.

"Come here, let me tell you..." Kevin leaned close to whisper into her ear while explaining his plan slowly but surely.

After hearing it all, excitement lit up on Nia's face as she clapped happily. "What an amazing idea! Without you, I really wouldn't know what else I could do."

Kevin hugged her tightly feeling pleased with himself; it seemed like he had already seen their future prosperity.

As autumn winds blew through making the weather colder day by day until winter solstice arrived; approaching year-end meant every company was busy doing their last quarter summaries and planning for next year's goals. Arthur and Lucia were each busy running their own companies - Arthur owned Branch of Davonnis while Lucia ran Webbex Group- they were both so busy so they barely had time for themselves.

Their son and daughter lived in New York City so Arthur planned on going over there together during Christmas season once things settled down; thus even if they worked late into the night or reversed sleep schedules, it didn't matter much since both their offices were located within each other's homes, meaning they often worked together side-by-side without disturbing one another.

Since coming to Athegate, Miles had been using the excuse of supervising Casper's work to visit Stand Hill almost every day. Although he had no real power there, everyone knew he was the father of the CEO and his reputation within the company was high. No one dared to stop him, and many high-level executives even reported their work to him for unknown reasons.

Casper was extremely annoyed by this behavior, but Miles insisted on doing it. He had no legitimate reason to stop him, so when he heard that Miles had even checked the company's accounts that day, his dissatisfaction exploded. He called Miles into his office and coldly asked,

"I call you dad in front of outsiders, but don't push it too far! How dare you secretly check the company's accounts!"

Miles had become much more stable during this time and didn't care about Casper's anger. He calmly replied,

"What? I invested most of the Wood family's assets here. Technically speaking, I am still the largest shareholder. What's wrong with checking the accounts?"

Miles spoke confidently and left Casper at a loss for words for a while before finally finding his voice again,

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

"What can I be up to?" Miles responded nonchalantly as if he regained his composure from before.

"Even if your accounts have problems, can I report you? Although my son is in your hands now, reporting you won't save him but will cause me huge losses. Do you think I'm that stupid?" Casper stared at Miles' expression without being able to refute what he said because it made sense. After all, Miles was always greedy for wealth and wouldn't waste money like that.

"Furthermore," Mile continued with a serious face, "after observing recent events closely and receiving reports from senior management, I found out that you are stubbornly self-reliant and trust people like Leon who are not fit to manage company affairs. If it weren't for senior management helping them clean up their mess, StandHill would have already been ruined!"

"How I use my staff is none of your business!" Casper sneered coldly.

"I heard that back then, you managed JTP Group very well. I hope you won't let my investment go down the drain." Miles stood up as he spoke, "Alright, Libby is waiting for me at home." With these words, Miles turned around and left without looking back, leaving Caspar alone in his office thinking about everything that just happened between them.

"Miles!" Casper chased after him, frustrated that he couldn't confront him. Instead, Casper gave him a stern warning before Miles left the office, "Don't forget that your son is still in my hands. You can patrol the company all you want, but if you do anything to harm me, be prepared to face the consequences."

Miles slowly turned around with a hint of sadness in his eyes but refused to back down. "If it weren't for this situation, do you think I would still be standing here talking to you?"

Casper was caught off guard and tried to argue back but watched as Miles walked away. He slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Leon had been waiting outside and only entered once Miles had left. He cautiously asked Casper if he had given Miles a warning.

"Forget it," Casper sighed heavily and spoke coldly. "Let him wander around freely. If he goes anywhere else, I won't feel at ease anymore. But from now on, if he ever checks our company's accounts again, inform me immediately and monitor both him and Libby's every move."

"Understood," Leon replied respectfully.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Oh right," Casper continued tapping his fingers on the desk surface thoughtfully while speaking again about Lucia and Arthur's families being in USA for Christmas soon. "They're likely going to leave Athegate soon so they could reunite with them during this time period, which means we need some ideas on how best we could make things difficult for them since we've already fallen out with them."

"Yes," Leon nodded obediently but couldn't help wondering what kind of plan their boss could come up with when even he didn't have any ideas himself.

"What about Nia and Kevin?" Casper sat down finally asking while tapping his fingers against the desk surface once more.

"They're behaving themselves so far; living comfortably at Lauren's villa he arranged for them without any issues except Kevin who frequently travels between Stable Growth, though always accompanied by someone. That makes it hard for us to get close enough without being noticed." Leon reported back finally feeling like he was contributing something useful at last!
