Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1854

Chapter 1854 Crafty Stepmother

Wilbur was disgusted by that, but he decided to play along. While putting on a calm front, he asked Emmanuel to gather the evidence, planning to reveal everything during the engagement party.

After finding out about everything, Maya lamented, “So that’s what happened. Your stepmother is really a crafty woman.”

“That’s right. Most of the Simpsons are sly people. Maya, you’re innocent and kind. For someone like you to marry into the Simpson family would be akin to letting a sheep into a tiger’s den, so—”

“So you’re afraid that I wouldn’t be able to deal with them? Aren’t you underestimating me? Moreover, don’t I have you? I trust that you’ll protect me, and I know that I’ll protect myself.”

“So, does that mean you’re still willing to be with me?”

Maya nodded. “The misunderstanding is resolved as we’ve cleared the air. Thus, we can continue to date.”

At that, Wilbur smiled.

Finally, that matter had come to an end.

Upon learning about the whole matter, Sheila voiced her support for Maya’s action. She even told her how surprised she was to hear that Mabel turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After all, that stepmother of Wilbur had always been benevolent and loving in the public’s eyes.

In fact, Sheila reminded Maya to be extra cautious around wily people like Mabel, but she also told her that she need not fear her. The Seet family would support Maya, and if Mabel tried to be mean to her, she would be the first to stand up for her.

Maya was grateful and touched by her words. Her aunt had been extremely nice to them all those years, and she felt fortunate to have Davin and Sheila as her relatives.

Maya adored the loving family she had.

“Thank you, Aunt Sheila.”

“We’re a family; there’s no need for you to be so polite with me. I’ve watched you grow up, so you’re just like my own daughter. There’s no way I’ll let anyone bully you.”

“Okay. I’ll protect myself well, too, so that the others won’t have to worry about me.”
