Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1236
On the other side, the group assembled, intending to depart to the Nepenthe Valley.
Suddenly, Nina mentioned, “Daddy, can we bring Monica along? She needs the antidote too.”
“But she was the reason why you’re like this. Now you want to bring her too?” Davin uttered, bewildered at the suggestion.
Nina frowned. “Uncle Davin, you’re right. All this happened to me because of Monica, but she’s a victim too! If it wasn’t for Grandpa, her father would not have died, and her family business would not have been wound up. There’s a reason behind everything she did to the Seet family, including me.”
“Nina, she had tried to mess with the Seet Group even before all of that. Having poisoned you, I think she’s had her revenge. Now, she’s on her own,” Davin replied.
“Uncle Davin, I don’t think it’s fair. She experienced the devastating pain of losing her father, but none of us have to go through that. In comparison with the Marston family, the Seet family is far better off. Hence, bring her along and save her life. At the end of the day, she is a person of bitter past, and I really sympathize with her.”
Davin turned his head and looked at Evan. Ultimately, Evan was the one who would decide.
Evan was silent for a moment before uttering, “We shall do as Nina says. Bring her along.”
Regarding the past grudges, Evan felt indebted to the Marston family as well. Although Monica was hated and despised, there was a reason behind her doings.
Levant, who stood at one side, also supported the idea. “Agree. As to whether she survives, that depends on fate. If we manage to save her life, then it will put an end to the long-lasting feud between the two families.”
Nonetheless, Evan’s gaze looked dull, and he kept quiet.
He had his own opinions on putting an end to the long-lasting feud.
A while later, the bodyguard brought Monica over. The woman’s face was as pale as paper, and her hair messy and greasy; even Nina was terrified at the sight of her.
If the poison isn’t neutralized, will I end up just like her?
At once, Evan noticed Nina’s uneasiness and tried to console her, “Nina, once we reach the Nepenthe Valley, you will be cured. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Trust us, Nina. Even though Crystal Rose is unpredictable, we have our ways to convince her to treat you.”
Nina felt relieved upon being reassured by Davin and Evan. Then, she smiled blissfully at them and replied, “I’m not afraid. I trust Daddy and Uncle Davin.”
“Why did you bring me here?” Monica looked at them, puzzled.
“We’re going to save your life,” Davin answered.
“Save me? Are you capable of doing that? If you really can save me, Nina won’t look this gauntly! Besides, that b*stard only injected a very small dose of poison into me. I did not have any symptoms in the early stages. However, Nina is different. I mean, look at her—how is she better than me? Very soon, we’ll both be dead…”
“Nina is feeling much better than you. You’re looking lifeless! I suggest you shut up!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Davin interjected and told her off. He then instructed the bodyguard, “Watch her closely.”
The bodyguard quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. Davin.”
“Alright, let’s depart now,” Evan commanded.
They got into the car and sped toward Nepenthe Valley.
After almost a full day of traveling, they arrived at Nepenthe Valley in the evening.
They stood before the valley and stared at the endless stretch of road. Stupefied, they dared not act rashly.
Davin gazed at the wavy roads before asking worriedly, “Rumor has it that the Nepenthe Valley is a tough terrain. There will be ambushes along the way or even monsters! Once the night falls, we might fall into a trap, and that’ll be ugly!”
