Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1262

Murphy pondered over the matter for a long time, but he could not quite put a finger on why she did it. It seemed that only she could give him an explanation for the matter. Hence, he asked her to meet him at the manor in the suburbs.

“Why do you suddenly want to meet me?”

Hearing that, he scrutinized the woman in front of him from head to toe. Over the years, they had only met each other a couple of times. Of course, she would find it strange that he asked to meet her out of the blue.

“Portia, we haven’t met many times over the years. I asked you out because of an old matter, and I hope that you can be honest with me.”

Frowning, Portia noticed that his expression and the way he talked to her were different from before, as if he was about to say something important.

“Just ask me anything you want to know,” she responded straightforwardly.

“Do you know where Jordyn is?”

Hearing Jordyn’s name, Portia’s heart missed a beat. Jordyn has been dead for so many years. Why is he suddenly asking about her? Oh right! He only knows that she went missing and doesn’t know that she was poisoned to death. I must answer with caution.

“Jordyn? Back then, she left in a fit of anger when she caught us in the act. Didn’t you ask people to find her whereabouts after that, but there was no news about her? Why? Have you found any useful information?”

In the meantime, Murphy remained silent and fixed his gaze on her face, trying to read her expression.

However, he did not expect Portia to be such a master of acting. She had an innocent look on her face, and it seemed as though she was truly concerned about Jordyn’s whereabouts.

All of a sudden, he felt ridiculous. This is the woman I fell in love with back then. Is she really that sort of person?
