Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1527

But how should I make her talk about it?

While Sally did not know how to reveal the plan, Kyle did not know how to ask her about it, and the two of them fell into their silent thoughts.

Suddenly, Kyle thought of what Davin had said earlier about Sally’s mother. That was probably the only entry he could use to bring up the topic. Despite so, it was a sensitive subject, and he wondered how to start talking about it.

“Sally, are your parents on good terms?”

His question came out of the blue, and it caught Sally off-guard.

Why is Kyle asking me about this?

If someone else had asked her the same question, she would have remained silent as she would be too lazy to reply. After all, what business was it of theirs regarding the status of her parent’s relationship?

Yet, it was Kyle asking this time. Since it was a question from her crush, she wanted to answer him.

“I guess it’s all right. When I was younger, my mother was unwell. As such, my father hired a doctor to treat her. She isn’t a woman of many words, and my father would also quietly keep her company at times,” Sally described whatever she could recall.

Abruptly, she stopped talking as she thought about the recent event where her father had used her mother to threaten her.

Dad must have been blinded by hatred at that time, which led him to do that.

“Why doesn’t your mother talk much?” Kyle asked.

After some thought, Sally shrugged.

“I’m not sure either. From what I can remember, my mother was always quiet. There were times where she would daydream for hours without speaking a word.”

To her surprise, Kyle commented, “Well, a person who keeps to themselves often has a story behind it. She probably has a past of her own.”

Puzzled, Sally questioned, “Kyle, why would you interpret the situation that way?”

Instead of answering her question, Kyle warned, “Prepare yourself for what I’m about to tell you.”

“What is it?”

Kyle thought long and hard about it. Although it was difficult to speak out about, he had to do it, given the dire situation. It was possibly the only way to save Seet Group together with many other lives.

Besides, he had overheard Steven using Sally’s mother to threaten Sally. It implied that Steven did not really care for Sally’s mother to use her like that. If he told Sally the truth, it could be good news for her mother, and she might finally be able to escape from Steven’s clutches.

“There are rumors that my father defiled your mother. However, I know him well enough to say that he has no interest in any other woman other than my mother. Therefore, this is not something that my father would do.”

Pausing momentarily, Kyle tried to think of ways to convey his message. “Perhaps, your mother knows the perpetrator. Your father hates Seet Group and my father, and I’m sure there’s a link between them. If I can prove that it was not my father but someone else, then maybe we could resolve our families’ deep-rooted grudge. On top of that, my father was not responsible for your father’s severed arm and the plot to take the Maupay family down. He’s someone who would own up to what he does. Therefore, I’m sure there’s a misunderstanding somewhere.”
