Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 194

Having heard those words, Nicole felt a sharp pang in her heart. Her mother, who was highly cultured and steeped in propriety, had devoted herself to supporting Zane just so he could make a name for himself in the industry.

She had even cleaned out her father’s company for his sake. But what did she get in return?

Her mother’s experience had taught her a lesson that one should never humble herself and go against her own principles for love.

“Nicole, say something.”

“What do you want to talk about, dad?”

“Nicole, I know you’re living a comfortable life now with Mr. Seet, but you can’t just forget about us. Sylphiette is your sister and her marriage was ruined because of the Lane family’s bankruptcy. Life has been terrible for us. Could you please tell Mr. Seet to have mercy on us and give us a chance to rise again?”

“Okay, but first, you have to answer my question.”

Sensing that there was hope, Zane quickly replied, “What is it, Nicole? Just fire away and I’ll answer without reserve.”

“How did my mom die?”

There was a brief silence from the other end of the line.

“Why are you asking that? Your mother died of an illness. You know that.”

“An illness?” Nicole sneered. “You think I’ll believe that? You and Sylvia had earnestly wished for mom and I to die, so you also got me a tomb when you bought one for mom; you’d even set up a tombstone for me, assuming I was dead when you didn’t even find my body! Dad, who on earth would do that as a father?”

“Wasn’t that a misunderstanding? After finding out that you were alive, I brought you home, didn’t I?”

“And you should know better how I was treated when you brought me home! Oh, don’t worry, Dad. I’ll definitely have a good chat with you on my mom’s death anniversary!”

At that, Nicole hung up the phone, her resentment growing deeper.

Remembering the time when she went to her mother’s grave and saw her picture next to her mother’s tombstone, she couldn’t believe that Zane and Sylvia were so eager for her to die.
