Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1025

It was then that he turned around to find the bed empty.

Where’s Nicole?

He immediately got out of bed to look for her.

Just then, his phone rang again, this time from Davin.

“Evan, something had happened to Mom.”

“What is it?”

“She got hit and the perpetrator ran away.”

Evan couldn’t respond.

The news came to him like a bolt from the blue. After sitting in stunned silence for a moment, Evan quickly queried for the hospital that his mother had been admitted to.

He rushed to the hospital and found Sophia lying on the bed covered with scars and wounds, her legs supported by braces. That sight caused him distress.

“Mom, how are you feeling?”

“Evan, you’re here. The doctor said my injuries are serious. I’m afraid it might take several months for my legs to recover,” Sophia said weakly.

“Mom, who hit you? Can you remember the license plate number?”

“Yes…” Sophia stuttered.

“Mom, tell me!”

“Evan, I don’t remember the exact numbers on the license plate, but I think my eyes must have been playing tricks on me. After I got hit, the passengers in the car got down to check on me. The woman I saw looked like Nicole, and there was a man next to her, but I must have been mistaken.”

Nicole?

Evan furrowed his eyebrows. He had not seen Nicole since getting up in the morning, and he could not find a single trace of her even after searching through the whole Imperial Garden. It can’t possibly be a coincidence, can it?

It was then that Davin walked into the room and showed Evan a short video.

“Evan, the footage in the surveillance camera at the scene where Mom was hit had been modified. There was a hidden camera a short distance away, and the perpetrators had not found it, so it hadn’t been tampered with. The footage isn’t very clear, but it’d do. You should have a look.”

Evan examined the video closely. The car that had hit Sophia was too far away from the camera, so the license plate number was unclear. The car itself, however, was eye-catching. It was a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron.

Next, he saw someone with whom he was extremely familiar.

“Evan, isn’t that Nicole?” Davin questioned, eying the figure in the footage.

Evan did not answer. He had spent several years with Nicole, day in and day out. He was the person who was the most familiar with her, so he was sure that the woman in the video was Nicole.
