Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Maya headed toward the laboratory where she imprisoned Nina, Maya, and Sophia.
Exasperated at the sight of Monica, Nina asked, “When are you going to let us go?”
She did not wish to spend another second in the filthy place.
“Monica, just come after me for your grudges. They’re innocent. Let them go and torment me as you
please to vent your frustration!”
Monica peered sideways at Sophia who was unkempt and sneered, “You don’t have the right to dictate
what I do. It’s such a waste to let the two of them go. However, I can consider letting one of them go.”
Then, Monica turned to look at Nina and Maya. “So, who’s going to be the one to walk out of here?”
Nina was stumped and said, “Maya, you go. I’ll stay and look after Grandma.”
Maya shook her head. “No, Nina. You should leave. I’m going to accompany Grandma here.”
“Let me stay!”
“No, let me!” Maya edged herself close to Nina and whispered into her ears. “I’ve never been good with
directions since young. It’s not likely that I’ll be able to leave even if I get out of here. Just go and ask
Uncle Davin to come save us.”
Nina hesitated.
Sophia let out a sigh. “Nina, just let Maya accompany me here. You’d better listen to your sister and
leave.”
Nina did not protest any longer and said, “Maya, you have to take good care of Grandma.” Then, she got
up and trailed behind Monica to leave the filthy laboratory.
Monica’s eyes lingered on her for a moment before she parted her thin lips. “You may leave now.”
Nina could not help but furrow her brows, sensing that something was off with the way Monica was
staring at her. However, she longed to leave the place as soon as possible. She did not give it another
thought and left the place without turning back.
Just after a few meters, Nina heard a loud bang, She felt a hit to the back of her neck and her world
turned pitch-black as she slumped to the floor.
When she woke up, Nina realized that she was back in her own bedroom and lying on her own spacious
bed.
Davin and Kyle let out a huge sigh of relief after noticing that she was finally conscious.
“Nina, are you all right?”
She sat upright and paused for a moment. “I’m all right. Hurry up and go save Grandma and Maya. I
know where they’re imprisoned. Let me bring you guys there.”
“No, they’ve been relocated to someplace else. I know where they are, and I will save them.”
Nina was beyond relieved to hear Kyle.
She reached out to rub her temples as she felt weak all over. Davin thought that she was feeling
lethargic from not getting enough rest. “Nina, you’d better a good rest first. Leave the matter of saving
your grandma and Maya to us.”
“Okay.”
Nina nodded her head and fell asleep.
Suddenly, one of the Hidden Masters, Jensen, made his way inside the room and asked, “Mr. Davin, Mr.
Kyle, is Ms. Nina all right?”
“Her complexion doesn’t look good. She must have suffered these few days. Let her have a good rest.”
Jensen’s face sank and stood his ground. It seemed as if he had something to say but was battling his
own decision.
Befuddled, Davin looked at him and asked, “Jensen, what’s the matter?”
“Mr. Evan, when Monica released Ms. Nina, she ordered someone to knock her unconscious and inject
her with something…”
Jensen’s words made Davin and Kyle pale.
“What did she inject Nina with?” Kyle asked.
“Why didn’t you stop her?” Davin asked anxiously.
“She ordered someone to knock Ms. Nina unconscious and send her back directly. We did not witness
her getting injected either only heard about it from her conversation with her bodyguard. That’s why I’m
rushing back to report this to you.”
“Have you found out what it is?”
“I think it’s some sort of poison. I heard her saying that Ms. Nina will suffer the wrath of hell even after
she’s released.”
All colors drained from Davin’s face when he caught the word ‘poison’ He silently cursed Monica’s
audacity to harm Nina.
Kyle’s face turned dangerously grim.
I should not have let my sympathy for her get the better of me!
