Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1498

Chapter 1498 A Familial Grudge

Sally wore a conflicted expression on her face.

 

 

Subsequently, she got up on the pretext of going to the washroom and made her escape.

 

You wanted me to drink and take advantage of me when I’m inebriated? In your dreams! I’ll be back after twenty minutes. At that time… you probably wouldn’t even have the strength to stand up, much less pressure me to drink!

 

In the room, Kyle took out the antidote he had prepared beforehand and ingested it.

 

 

 

Then, he had someone exchange the bottle of red wine for an exact same one and started savoring it.

 

 

Just after he drank a glass, he suddenly received a message. It was from his assistant who was keeping an eye on the old manor of the Maupay family.

 

Sure enough, someone was living in the basement of the Maupay family’s old manor.

 

 

 

There were even a few photos attached.

 

Unexpectedly, the basement was decorated like a palace. Despite having no sunlight, it was luxurious beyond words. Hmm, it looks like the people living there are by no means ordinary people. Instead, they’re people who are accustomed to living in the lap of luxury!

 

 

 

Right then, someone in the photo snagged Kyle’s attention. It was a man who resembled Sally closely.

 

Is this her younger or older brother? Regardless of whether it’s the former or the latter, the important thing is to capture him first!

 

He immediately replied to the message, emphasizing to have it done without alerting the others.

 

His assistant answered: Understood, Mr. Seet.

 

Kyle, who was feigning unconsciousness, was a touch mystified. Is she… really planning to marry me?

 

But on the heels of that, Sally heaved a sigh. “But so what if we do? The grievances of the previous generation and a familial grudge lay between us, so it’s of no use no matter how compatible we are…”

 

A familial grudge and grievances of the previous generation? I once asked Daddy about that, but he had no idea what bad blood there was between him and the Maupay family. Could there be some misunderstanding?

 

Subsequently, he heard Sally sighing once more.

 

“Ah well, some things shouldn’t be dwelled upon. Thinking too much about it doesn’t do me any good but adds to my troubles instead. All I need to do right now is to attain my goal!”

 

After saying that, she slipped her jacket off and lay down beside Kyle. Unlocking her phone, she started snapping pictures as she adjusted the angles.

 

Click, click, click!

 

While she was engrossed in taking photos, she felt as though she was hit by something out of the blue. Following that, a wave of dizziness assailed her. She shook her head frantically, but she only managed to hold out for three seconds. Before she could even see what had happened, she groggily slipped into slumber.

 

Beside her, Kyle sat up. Staring at her, he extended a long and slender finger and stroked her fair cheek lightly.
