My Mommy Is A CEO

“But the Orient Ocean coastline is so vast, how can we determine where he departed from?” Nick expressed doubt.

Before Arthur could answer, Kyle spoke up,

“It depends on Mr. Davies’s connections.”

All eyes turned to Arthur.

Arthur glared at Kyle before saying,

“Within an hour, I will have someone check the trajectory of every ship along the Orient Ocean coast and filter out Jacob’s most likely escape location.”

No one questioned Arthur’s ability. However…

Jack and his team looked at each other uncertainly. They didn’t want to hurt Arthur’s feelings by questioning him.

Arthur was smart enough to see their concerns but remained steadfast in his decision,

“I know what you’re thinking. If we make a wrong decision, Lucia will be in danger again like when Spencer kidnapped her. We can’t track her down in the vast ocean without any clues. But now that we have a tracker on Lucia, we can use her movement direction as a reference when filtering out locations. I trust my judgment and your discernment.”

“Alright! Since Mr. Davies said so, there is no reason for us to doubt ourselves!” Gene agreed with Arthur’s analysis, “Even without a tracker assisting us, we cannot let Jacob escape!”

“Yes!” The team became more motivated after hearing this and echoed Gene’s sentiment.

“Kyle, contact the helicopter immediately! We need to rush to the coastline as fast as possible.” After nodding at everyone else, Arthur ordered Kyle who was quick-witted enough to get three helicopters within half an hour parked where they were waiting for them. This time they wouldn’t chase after Jacob but instead go ahead of him!

Meanwhile back in Athegate, things were not calm either. Nia and Kevin were carrying their luggage readying themselves for signing contracts with their buyer when Miles blocked them outside of the hotel lobby area where he had been waiting for some time already.

Upon seeing Miles strolling out of the hotel lobby’s lounge area with his men, Nia’s face instantly drained of color, and Kevin furrowed his brow in concern.

What was Miles doing here?!

“Where are you two going with your luggage?” Miles asked casually once he reached them both.

Nia didn’t know what else she could say while Kevin still had some sense left replying offhandedly, “Nia’s parents aren’t feeling well so we’re planning on visiting them.”

“Is that so?” Miles sneered. “Do you really need to sell the company just to visit your parents?”

Upon hearing this, Nia and Kevin both showed a complex expression of shock and embarrassment. They were struck hard by the fact that Miles knew about their plans.

“I’m sorry, but perhaps you two don’t know,” Miles didn’t hesitate to explain for Nia and Kevin. “The buyer is an old acquaintance of mine.”

“I came over last night, waiting for you downstairs.”

Seeing that things were exposed, Kevin didn’t want to pretend anymore. He was a man with dignity after all. He pulled Nia behind him and stared at Miles while shouting,

“What do you want?!”

“Not much,” Miles said calmly as he continued explaining his intentions. “I just want to make sure that when Mr. Davies rescues Ms. Webb, the two of you stay in Athegate as promised. You haven’t forgotten what you promised Ms. Webb, have you?” Miles’ each word sounded like a death sentence to Nia and Kevin.

“If we insist on leaving?” Kevin didn’t want to give up so easily.

“Insist on leaving? Sure thing,” Miles smiled.”Please go ahead.”

Kevin was stunned by how straightforwardly Miles responded. He had no idea how he should react now. Nia tugged at his arm from behind him and whispered,

“The company…”

But it was quiet in the lobby early in the morning. Nia’s voice couldn’t escape from Miles’ ears. He continued smiling, “Miss Davidson, you’re right. You can leave, but not with your company.”

“You have no right to restrict our actions!” Kevin shouted angrily.

“No right?” Suddenly, Miles’ face lost its smile. His expression became extremely fierce. This was the industry giant who once dominated Lepus.

“In front of me, you dare talk about rights. Kevin, you’re still too young.”

Kevin turned pale, his eyes full of fear towards Miles’ subordinates. He realized they couldn’t escape, and not only that, but if Arthur found out they had tried running away, it would be another crime altogether.

Seeing Kevin turning around frantically, Miles lost patience and said,

“Bring Sage here.”

Sage?!

Kevin was stunned. Was it Sage who he thought it was?

Not long after, the person whom Kevin thought appeared. Sage walked into the hotel lobby with four black-clothed men. As soon as he saw Miles’ familiar face, Sage greeted him immediately. Kevin suddenly realized something, “So even you betrayed Jacob!”

Sage glanced at Kevin, not even wanting to acknowledge his question. After whispering a few words to Miles, he had the men in black surround Kevin and Nia.

“Miss Davidson and Mr. Berry, Mr. Davies have arranged a more suitable place for you. Please come with us.”

There was no escape for them now. Despite feeling desolate inside, Kevin couldn’t resist making a snide remark.

“Jacob really failed this time. He lost Leon and now his second-in-command has betrayed him!”

Nia was completely bewildered by the situation before her and could only cling onto Kevin’s shirt hem as she tried to make sense of it all.

“Take them away!” Sage didn’t want to waste any time on Kevin and had his men take them away before turning back to Miles.

“Mr. Wood, you must be exhausted from guarding all night long. Go get some rest. I’ll take care of Nia and Kevin.”

Miles let out a bitter laugh. How could he possibly sleep after everything that had happened?

As they drove towards the suburban airport hangar, both Nia and Kevin were consumed by despair as they realized just how shallow their understanding of things truly was. They had underestimated their opponents greatly.

Holding onto Nia’s hand tightly, Kevin whispered softly into her ear,

“Don’t worry Nia. We still have one last card up our sleeve.”

“What card?” Her voice trembled with disappointment.

“Your sister.” He knew how to use every possible resource available to him.

It wasn’t until then that she remembered Eve! There was no way Eve would let her fall so low!

Seeing Nia excitedly wanting to share her current state of mind, Kevin raised his hand and made a hushing gesture, signaling her to conceal her emotions and not let Sage notice.

Nia nodded quickly, already thinking about how to persuade Eve.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
