Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1241
He scrutinized Levant and replied, “I think you’re the one who deserves the most to be captured!”
Levant couldn’t wrap his head around the statement. “Me? You think that those gorgeous ladies would like me?”
Immediately, Davin shook his head and replied, “No. It’s because you’re the most gullible of us all!”
Levant scowled at him and argued childishly, “I think you’re even more gullible than me!” Then, he glared at Davin fiercely before ignoring him afterward.
Meanwhile, Evan scanned around the heavenly place and tried to unravel its mystery. Knowing that Crystal Rose must be here somewhere, they must continue their journey regardless of the possible threats. Deep down, he, too, was curious of the shenanigans planned by Crystal Rose.
Evan answered, “Since the Lady of the Valley is so sincere, we are obliged.”
The group followed Evan closely behind. They passed through a flowerbed and headed toward a luxurious wooden house.
Davin exclaimed, “The flowers planted in the flowerbed are glorious! It’s bright red like blood. Guys, come and take a sniff. They even smell like blood! Could it be that they’re painted using blood?”
Everyone paid more attention to the flowers after being prompted by Davin’s remark.
The woman replied, “That’s an overstatement. This flower is called the blood flower, and it has always been this red. Please, come in.”
The door opened widely. Draven, however, suggested abruptly, “Mr. Evan, since the place isn’t that big, why don’t the bodyguards and I stand guard outside?”
Evan nodded. “I think that’s a good idea.” Next, the bodyguard lowered Monica and Nina to the ground. After that, the two of them entered the wooden house together with Davin, Evan, and Levant.
The pompous decorations brightened up the ambiance, creating a rather homey and comfortable vibe. Davin was surprised and couldn’t resist asking Levant, “Hey, do you think a lovely place like this can be the residence of a weird, wretched lady? It’s clean and neat, and everything is organized perfectly.”
Levant stared at him but kept quiet.
“Please, have a cup of tea,” the woman with a white blouse said.
The woman, with her soft and silky hands, poured cups after cups of freshly brewed tea and left it on the table.
Evan looked at the tea and turned his gaze away while asking, “If I drink the tea, can I meet Crystal Rose?”
The woman, who appears to be the leader, beamed. “I’m not the one to call the shots. Nonetheless, the tea is really good. Please help yourselves.”
Good tea?
Because of her answer, Davin became really suspicious of the tea. Is it poisoned? Hence, he softly reminded everyone, “I think it’s best if we refrain from drinking it. Who knows if there’s poison in the tea.”
Evan and Levant looked toward Davin. After that, they started drinking small sips of the tea.
Davin’s eyebrows knitted together. “Why did you drink it? Are you not afraid of being poisoned to death?” Anyway, Davin would never touch the cup of tea. He was skeptical of the place and refused to let his guard down.
Since Evan and Levant drank the tea, Nina, who was also thirsty, picked up the cup and started drinking.
Monica looked at the three of them drinking their tea before turning her head toward Davin. She, on the flipside, agreed with Davin that they must exercise an abundance of caution in a dodgy place like this.
Davin cheekily teased Monica, “It looks like you’re afraid of being poisoned as well. You must really be afraid of dying.”
Monica rolled her eyes at Davin and replied, “It’s not about dying. I just don’t like tea.”
Hearing that, Davin couldn’t help but rebuked her, “Just admit it. You’re afraid of dying! Stop faking it!”
Monica lashed out, “Davin, you’re not drinking the tea as well! Since we’re both afraid of dying, you don’t have the right to mock me!”
“I’ve been very honest, unlike you. Yes, I’m afraid of dying, but you, on the other hand, refused to admit it. Remember this—if we manage to get you cured, there shall be a truce between the Seet family and the Marston family.”
“You wish!”
“It’s not really that hard to figure out the math. Think about it. Although the demise of your father was caused by my father, Nina was poisoned by you. A life for a life. If you think that it’s not enough, we’re now saving your life! Besides, although the Marston family business is now wound up, you have been causing chaos to the Seet Group all this while. Hence, I think it’s more than enough! Both families should just bury the hatchet and move on!”
