Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1261

Hearing that, Levant fell silent.

After a while, he looked at Crystal Rose and asked, “If he wasn’t the one who poisoned you, would you still hate him so much?”

Murphy didn’t administer the poison?

Crystal Rose did not believe that at all. “Levant, stop looking for excuses to exculpate him. Scelerus is the poison of Wicked Palace. No one could get their hands on it except him. Besides, I treated everyone well when I was in Wicked Palace. Except for Murphy, I had never offended anyone, so he was the only one who wanted me to die. After I died, he could live happily ever after with Portia.”

Speaking of Portia, Levant could not decide if he should tell Crystal Rose that it was Portia who took him away from the orphanage and later gave him a warm home.

After giving it some thought, he decided not to tell her. After all, it would not be good news for her that her biological child was adopted by her love rival.

“But he said that he wasn’t the one who administered the poison. He’ll investigate the matter thoroughly and give you a reasonable explanation. Let’s wait for him patiently. There may be another truth.”

Another truth?

Crystal Rose sneered. “If it wasn’t him, then I would’ve hated the wrong person. Nonetheless, I really hope that there’s another truth. At least it proves that I didn’t make a bad choice marrying him back then, and I won’t dream of killing him every single night anymore.”

It was obvious that the hatred she had for Murphy was bred-in-the-bone. At that moment, Levant wondered if she still had a tad bit of love for Murphy.

“If it wasn’t him, would you be willing to get back with him?”

“No! From the moment he betrayed me, I’ll never forgive him! What is done can never be undone. It’s impossible to patch things up between us.” With that said, she was suddenly interested in Levant’s love life. “Are you married?”

Despite being surprised by her question, he shook his head in response.

“Why aren’t you married at this age? Did you not meet any women you liked?”
