Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1242
“Even if the entire Seet family was wiped out, it still won’t be enough to pay for my dad’s life,” Monica uttered.
Upon hearing that, Davin replied, “Monica, aren’t you being too much? It’s just normal if we decide not to save you! Evan, you saw it with your own eyes how evil she is! Let’s not save her.”
Shooting Davin a look, Monica did not reply.
After Evan, Levant, and Nina finished their drinks, the woman in white suddenly came forward. “Everyone, I was just informed that Lady of the Valley had allowed you to visit her.”
“She’s willing to see us?”
“That’s right. Please follow me.”
The few followed the woman in white through a zig-zagged pathway and arrived at a bamboo forest. There was a couple of stylish-looking bamboo houses there.
“Go on ahead. The person you’re searching for is right inside.” After the woman in white finished her words, she walked away.
Evan and Levant led the way, while Davin, Nina, and Monica followed close behind them. When they walked up to the bamboo house, a voice suddenly boomed inside. “I know you mean no harm. Thus, I don’t want to make your life hard either. Please leave!”
Staying silent for a moment, Evan replied, “We’re very sorry to have to disturb you. However, you’re our only hope. I heard that you’re the only one that knows how to cure bone erosion poison. If you agree to save my daughter’s life, I’ll be greatly indebted to you.”
“Are both of the women infected by bone erosion poison your daughters?”
When Monica heard that, she roared, “Who said that I’m his daughter? I have nothing to do with them!”
“If that’s the case, why did you come together with them?”
Evan answered, “It’s a bit complicated to explain. Could you please come out and take a look at them first?”
The door to the bamboo house swung open, and a woman clad in black clothing walked out. Instantly, she attracted the attention of everyone.
When one looked carefully, they would observe that she exuded a refreshing vibe. It was not hard to deduce that she was undoubtedly a beauty when she was younger with her above-average looks. As for her age, Davin speculated that she was around the same age as his mother.
“So you’re Crystal Rose?”
“That’s correct!”
Right after she finished talking, Davin and Monica felt a feeling of dizziness and quickly tumbled to the ground.
When Evan witnessed that, he stared at Crystal Rose in shock. “What did you do to them?”
“Do you have evidence that I did that to them?”
At that, Evan furrowed his eyebrows. She has a point, as I did not see her attacking them. However, why would the two of them faint so suddenly?
Noticing his confusion, she decided to explain, “They fainted because of the blood flowers planted in the garden.”
Upon hearing that, the remaining few recalled the beautiful blood-red flowers. Indeed, there was something off with those flowers. However, all of us had taken the same pathway getting here, so why were they the only ones who fainted?
Crystal Rose continued with her explanation, “Before you arrived at the bamboo forest, you were asked to drink a cup of tea. As the tea was the antidote to the blood flowers’ poison, you were able to pass through scot-free. They both must have thought there was poison in the tea given to them and went without it. Contrary to their wild imaginations, the cup of tea was actually an antidote.” Then, she stared straight at the three of them. “Therefore, I would advise you not to act presumptuously in Nepenthe Valley. It might backfire on you.”
The three of them exchanged glances. It seems like Crystal Rose is certainly no ordinary person!
“Since you’re able to find this place, I’m sure you’ve heard about my rules as well. If you want to ask for a favor, you have to meet my requirements.”
Evan replied, “Yes, I’m well aware that you have three requirements. Firstly, you would only treat women, and we have met that. As for the following requirements, we’ll try our best to achieve them.”
Crystal Rose sized them up carefully. “It must have been a long journey for you to get here, so I won’t deliberately make things harder for you. For my second requirement, I have three things for you to do. With the achievement of each, I’ll detoxify thirty percent of the poison out of their bodies.”
“Please enlighten me about it,” he replied.
