Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1267
Crystal Rose sighed. “It requires more time and effort to clear your poison because you’ve been poisoned for a longer period. With the same remedy, Nina’s poison can be cleared up to ninety percent, but yours can only be cleared up to forty percent. Of course your conditions are different.”
Monica’s expression fell. “Forty percent? Can the poison be cleared any further? How much more can it be cleared?”
“If you want your poison to be cleared fully, there’s one special herb you can take. However, if you take it, you will lose your memory. Do you still want to take it?”
“Lose my memory?” Monica’s eyes widened.
She turned to look at both Davin and Evan. Will I remember the grudge with the Seet family if I lose my memory?
“When I said you would lose your memory, it means you won’t remember everything from before. You will have a clean break and can start a new life.”
Hearing this, Davin said, “That’s great! Doesn’t that mean you can forget every frustration in life and start a new, happy one?”
Monica sneered, “Of course you want that. That way, I won’t remember everything and won’t be able to get my revenge on the Seet family. You would love that, won’t you?”
“Are you still thinking about getting your revenge? Don’t you think we should be even right now? It would be for the best for you to forget about the grudge you hold against us!”
“I don’t want to forget! My dad died because of your dad! The Marston family’s company closed down because of your dad! Everything is because of your family! I want you to pay the price!”
Davin rolled his eyes at her. “Nina was poisoned because of you! You only have the chance to be treated because of us. Don’t you remember the times when you tormented Seet Group, my mom, and Maya? You need to stop. If your poison remains untreated, you might not have long to live, let alone get your revenge.”
“He’s right. If you choose to keep your memory, your poison can only be cleared up to forty percent and you’ll lose your life. How are you going to get your revenge if you’re dead?”
“How long do I have left if the poison is cleared by forty percent?” Monica asked.
Crystal Rose paused to think and answered, “Given your situation right now, not more than two months.”
Two months? Will two months be enough for me to get revenge? I think two months are enough if I go all-in!
“Monica, if you insist on getting your revenge, we won’t stand aside and watch like we did before. Two months? Even if we give you two years, you might not get what you want. You don’t have to risk your own life for nothing.”
“He’s right. You have to be alive first before you can plan how to get your revenge. That’s the only way you know you’d ever get a chance. Losing your memory might be temporary. There’s a chance you will remember everything after a period of time.”
“I can remember?” Monica’s eyes lit up with hope.
Crystal Rose nodded. “There’s a possibility.”
Monica was hesitant, but Crystal Rose told her that she had to make a decision latest by tomorrow. There were only two choices for her: to stay and get the treatment or leave.
“I’ll take it into consideration.”
“What else is there to think about? What’s more important than your life?” Davin asked.
Monica glared at him and turned to leave the living room.
Crystal Rose let out a sigh upon seeing Monica leave. “Maybe this is fate.”
“What do you mean?” Levant asked.
Crystal Rose looked at Evan and said, “To tell you the truth, it was Evan and me who decided to let her lose her memory.”
“What?”
“As all of you know, there are three conditions to get treatment in Nepenthe Valley. First, you have to be female. Then, there are three requirements to fulfill for the second condition, which you’ve all met. For the third condition, I’m actually looking for a successor. I thought Nina was the perfect candidate at first, but Evan didn’t want that to happen. I also think that there’s a better life ahead for Nina, so Monica became my only choice.”
Pausing briefly, she continued, “I also heard that Monica has lived a tough life and is constantly haunted by the grudges she holds. Making her lose all her memories might be an escape for her. It’s the best for everyone, too. That’s why I deliberately reduced the dose for her to force her into making this decision.”
