Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1889

Chapter 1889 The Truth Of The Matter

Nicole and Evan said nothing for a moment as they traded a glance.

Utter shock inundated them both.

“Did you say that Wilbur’s stepmother intended to spike your drink?”

“Yup. Fortunately, he had long since arranged for someone to keep tabs on her. Otherwise, I’d be the one who embarrassed myself today. If I had hugged Wilbur, kissing and mauling him, she would’ve certainly ordered someone to secretly snap some photos and sell them to the paparazzi. If that happened, the Seet family and I would be thoroughly humiliated.”

After hearing Maya’s story, Evan and Nicole were both puzzled.

Why would Wilbur’s stepmother be so hasty? If Maya had really drunk the fruit wine and embarrassed herself publicly, the Seet family would definitely get to the bottom of the matter. Wasn’t she afraid that the investigation would point to her as the culprit? And wasn’t she afraid that the Seet family would pursue the issue?

“I think this matter isn’t that simple.”

“I agree. Wilbur’s stepmother is an old hand at scheming, so she’ll never make such a fatal mistake!”

“What do you mean, Mommy, Daddy? Are you saying that this wasn’t the doing of his stepmother, but someone else wanted to sabotage me as well? But the news he received indicated that it was her doing!”

The corners of Evan’s mouth lifted, and he smiled at Maya’s innocence.

“If I guessed correctly, the truth of the matter should be this—Wilbur’s stepmother indeed spiked your fruit wine, but she didn’t necessarily use such a potent drug. She just wanted to make some waves and assert her dominance over you by creating some trouble for you. For the drug in her fruit wine, it was likely Wilbur who deliberately added it. Perhaps he wanted to teach her a lesson. Besides, he has a grudge against her, so it’s highly possible that he did that.”

“So, you’re saying that he intentionally wanted to humiliate her?”

“That’s my guess!”

After Evan finished saying that, Maya thought for a while before she swiftly whipped out her phone and rang Wilbur for confirmation.

After hanging up the phone, Maya flashed Evan a thumbs up.

“Daddy, you’re really incredible! Your guess was absolutely right!”

“Wilbur’s stepmother is awfully evil. Maya, you must be careful when you go to the Simpson residence in the future,” Nicole urged.

“How about this? Have Damien and Draven follow you to protect you at all times,” Evan suggested.

“Don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate, Daddy? I’m a girl, so it’s rather inconvenient for me to bring two male bodyguards around, no?”

Nicole understood her daughter’s feelings. It was indeed quite inconvenient to have two male bodyguards at the side when she was on a date with Wilbur in the future. Therefore, she suggested having Faye protect Maya.

Faye was a woman, and not only was she skilled in fighting but also attentive. For that reason, she was suited to follow Maya around. That aside, she was very much tactful and knew when to make herself scarce, so she definitely wouldn’t affect Maya and Wilbur’s date.
