She is a CEO novel Chapter 108

"Arthur, don't tell anyone. I don't want others to know about it. I don't want everyone to know that I become filthy!" Juliana, whose face changed, grabbed the clothes over his chest excitedly. On her thinner and thinner face, her eyes looked bulged and bigger, and now they were filled with tears.

"I see. I won't tell anyone." He patted Juliana's back, feeling sorrowful because Juliana hadn't recovered from the blow yet.

"You can't tell anyone!" Her eyes became sharp, as she stared at him fiercely and warned.

"I absolutely won't tell anyone," said Arthur. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "But... your parents have to know..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Juliana's screech.

"No!" Her hand that grabbed him clenched. She shook her head, shouting, "Don't let my parents know about it. They will freak out!"

She was the apple of their eye. They were proud of her. If they knew she was...

No! No way!

Seeing that Juliana began to lose her mind again, Arthur held her in his arms immediately, with excessive guilt in his eyes. He comforted her in a gentle voice, "Julia, calm down. I won't tell them. I won't."

His words of consolation were like warm water slowly pouring into her heart.

She gradually calmed down, but she still held on to Arthur's chest, and her thin face was bathed with tears again.

After calming down, she was led to the sofa and sat down. With a frown, Arthur pulled up her sleeve. The shocking red marks came into view, and the skin under her pajamas was probably more terrible.

He knew that she would run to the bathroom to scrub her body hard with a towel every time she thought of that thing. The towel was soft, so she must harbor great hatred and exert much strength to get herself so severely injured.

"Julia, don't torture yourself like this anymore. You can't recover in this way."

Tears welled up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll never recover!"

Her teary eyes and injured tone made Arthur heartbroken. She had been full of vigor and vitality since she was a child, but this thing mentally destroyed her.

"Julia, you gotta recover from it."

"Arthur, I can't forget it! It's all Lucia's fault!" Juliana hated Lucia so deeply.

"It's not all..." Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Juliana.

"Arthur, you still speak up for her," said Juliana with a cold face. She glared at him and said, "I think it was Lucia who planned everything that night, including those who raped me. Otherwise, why did she disappear for no reason?"

Juliana put all the blame on Lucia and criticized Lucia harshly, though she knew exactly it was not true.

"Lucia is not that kind of person!" He suddenly let go of her hand and retorted firmly.

Juliana could blame Lucia for not taking good care of her, but she couldn't assume that it was Lucia's plot!

"Julia, are you feeling very cold?" Seeing that she was bundled up, Arthur smiled.

Juliana frowned and said nothing.

It was not until then that he realized that the happy Juliana was gone. Feeling upset, he reached out to wrap his arm around Juliana's shoulder and took her out.

Juliana didn't want to go to the crowded place. Arthur thought the riverside park would be a good choice, where the scenery was good and the air was fresh, and few people walked around on working days. So, he took her there. They sat on the bench in the park and chitchatted. Most of the time, it was Arthur who was talking, while Juliana looked at the river in a daze.

The air became colder than ever. Turning to look at Juliana, he said softly, "Julia, have you ever thought about the future?"

He wanted to know if she still had any expectations for the future.

"I have no future." Without any hesitation, Juliana gave a firm answer.

She could hide the fact that she was gang raped from anyone, but she couldn't get through it.

"Julia, you still have a long way to go. Each of us may encounter setbacks that we can't overcome. If you dwell on it, your life might be ruined," Looking at Juliana, Arthur said in a soft voice,

"When you were a child, you were the head of children. No matter what happened, you always took the lead. Also, you are the most straightforward and resolute one. I don't believe that you are willing to dwell on it for the rest of your life."

His encouragement didn't work. Juliana said vexedly, "The old Juliana is dead! You're not a woman. You won't understand my suffering!"
