Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2028

Chapter 2028 Your Father Is Really Terrifying

“H-How could you do this, Dad?” “Sheila, I devoted my whole life to the research lab. If we fail to obtain funding to continue with the research, our family will be ruined. I’ve got no choice either. I don’t want to do anything that will hurt the Seet family. Your father-in-law has been carrying on with that woman for several years now, and I’ve been keeping it a secret for him.

Spending two billion in exchange for a peaceful life for the Seet family, your in-laws’ marriage, Jonathan’s reputation, as well as the sake of the Muir family’s bright and glorious future is more than worth it! Evan is a businessman. I believe he knows the right choice to make. I’ll be waiting for your good news!”

Sheila was utterly dumbstruck. When the call was disconnected, Davin’s expression was as black as thunder. “Your father… Your father… is-”

Sheila lifted her head and stared at him. “Are you trying to say that my father is despicable? What about your father, then? If he hadn’t done such an immoral thing, my father wouldn’t have had an opportunity to be despicable and blackmail the Seet family.”

That left Davin at a loss for words.

Sheila then heaved a long sigh. “Now that things have come to this, Davin, persuade Evan to lend him the two billion. I’ll repay it on his behalf in the future. With that, we can settle the entire problem.”

“Sheila, it’s not that I don’t want to persuade Evan to give him a loan, but you have no idea what he wants to do with the two billion. You don’t even know what exactly his research lab is researching. Your father is really terrifying!”

“What do you mean by that, Davin? Previously, you claimed my father had a bunch of women out there, and now, you’re saying he’s terrifying. Indeed, he shouldn’t have blackmailed us. But he only did that because of… of the Muir family!”

“All right, I don’t want to argue with you, Sheila. How about this? Come with me to meet Evan. Then, you’ll understand everything.”

Davin headed to the parking lot, and Sheila trailed after him.

During the drive, he said nary a word. His eyes were fixated on the road ahead, a faint layer of gloominess blanketing his face. Right then, he was in an exceedingly foul mood.

He wasn’t thinking about the two-billion loan Patrick demanded but his parents’ relationship.
