Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
“Monica, you’d better spill it! Otherwise, I’m going to make you beg for your death!”
“Death? Do you think I fear death? Let me level with you. I’m poisoned too, and I’m not going to live long
either. So, I’m going to drag all of you Seets along with me to hell!” Monica grimaced with pure hatred.
“You don’t fear death, but you do wish to live?” Kyle looked down domineeringly at his prisoner.
A look of surprise flashed across Monica’s face as she was bemused by Kyle’s question.
“If you wish to live, then tell us the poison that you’ve injected Nina with. That way, you might have a
chance to live too.”
Stumped, a glimmer of hope glistened in Monica’s eyes before it dissipated into thin air the next moment.
Then, she let out a shriek in despair, “I don’t want to live! I want to die, and I’m going to drag all of you
Seets to hell to see my father! I am going to make all of you apologize to him!”
Kyle narrowed his obsidian gaze. He did not miss the glimmer of hope in Monica’s eyes previously. It
was evident that Monica still yearned to live.
However, her hatred for the Seet family had overpowered her own desire to live, making it difficult to hold
a rational discussion with the deranged woman.
Just when Kyle was racking his brain to try to talk to her, Jensen made his way in. He reported that Davin
had news on the poison that Nina was dosed with.
Kyle ordered his people to guard Monica and rushed back home to meet Davin.
Just when he arrived at the living room, he noticed that Sophia, Jonathan, Maya, and Sheila were
peppering Davin with questions.
However, Davin had a grim look on his face. He did not know how he should break the news to the
people around him.
“Hurry up and tell us what poison Nina was dosed with?” Sheila egged on.
“Yes, Davin. How should we save Nina?” Sophia was anxious as well.
“Did the doctor say when will she wake up?” Jonathan pressed on.
“Uncle Davin, is Nina going to be all right? When will she get better?” Maya asked.
Davin was stumped by the myriad of questions, especially to which he had no answers. He looked at
them all and appeared at a total loss.
“Say something! Are you planning to make us all die of anxiety? Sheila pinched Davin hard when she
noticed that the man kept quiet all along.
Davin turned around to look at her and said, “You guys are peppering me with so many questions. I’m
thinking to answer which question first!”
Sophia lifted her hand in an attempt to restore some order. “We should all stop talking. Let Davin speak
first. Davin, go on. We’re listening.”
Davin sighed, his expression still grim as ever. “Nina’s condition is not looking good. The doctor said that
the formulation of the poison is really rare. He could not pinpoint two of the materials used in the poison.
So, he cannot work on developing the antidote yet.”
“What do we do then? When is he going to figure it out?” Sheila asked.
“Yeah, will the poison spread in her body if he still can’t develop the antidote? Oh my dear Nina, why
should you have to suffer this?” Sophia broke down in tears afterward.
“Mom, don’t be too worried. Maybe the doctor will be able to figure it out in these few days?”
“Just maybe? That means there’s no guarantee, right?”
Davin peered at Sheila. He could not bring himself to confirm her guess. The doctor mentioned that it
was improbable to pinpoint the last two ingredients of the poison. However, Davin was afraid that the
others might lose all hope and decided to keep the fact to himself. Most importantly, he had not expected
that Sheila would ask if he was confident in the matter.
“Mommy knows acupuncture. Why don’t we ask her to come back? She may be able to do something
about Nina’s condition,” Maya suggested.
Kyle who was standing by the door said, “Don’t let Mommy know about this first. I have an idea.”
“Kai, are you saying you have a solution?” Jonathan asked.
