Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1256

“Well, you can’t leave him barefooted forever, right?”

Davin looked at Crystal Rose and let out a deep sigh. He could clearly see her heartfelt concern toward Levant.

“I’ll return his shoes then. Will you still be curing Nina after Levant leaves?”

Crystal Rose hesitated, reluctant to part with Levant. But what could she do if he insisted on leaving? She would accept any outcome as long as he was happy. “Give him his shoes. He can do whatever he wishes to do. Don’t worry. I’ll still cure Nina.”

Davin’s brows knitted together. Crystal Rose doesn’t seem like an unreasonable woman at all. I’m sure she wants Levant to stay more than anyone else. However, she’s not forcing him to do so. It seems she cares about Levant’s feelings, after all. If that’s the case, then why would she…

“I can tell that you care about Levant a lot. Why did you abandon him at the orphanage back then?”

“Back then…” Crystal Rose smiled bitterly. “Back then, I was poisoned, and I thought I wouldn’t stay alive much longer. To my surprise, I encountered a master to cure me of the deadly poison. She was the former Lady of the Valley, and she brought me back to Nepenthe Valley to cure me.”

The truth was revealed. Davin finally understood the reason Crystal Rose stayed at Nepenthe Valley and changed her name.

“How were you poisoned?” Davin continued asking.

In that instant, Crystal Rose’s eyes filled with burning contempt. “Someone poisoned my drink.”

“Who did that to you?”

“Who? Who else would dare to poison me at Wicked Palace? Of course it’s Murphy!”

Her answer disconcerted Davin. He couldn’t believe how cruel Murphy was to have poisoned his own wife!

“It’s lucky I survived this incident. He must pay for what he did, and I want him to pay for it with his life!”
