Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2040

Chapter 2040 Stay At The Simpson Residence

Glancing at Nicholas’ face, Rodney interrogated Wilbur, “Why did you hit him for no reason?”

Wilbur crossed his arms and replied innocently, “He… He instructed that if someone asks me, I have to say Maya hit me like that. I’m just imitating him.”

By saying that, Wilbur had just betrayed Nicholas. Nicole immediately stepped forward. “So, Maya didn’t slap you. Nicholas instructed you to say that, right?”

With an anxious look, Nicholas quickly defended himself, “That’s not what happened! He’s mentally ill; he’s an idiot now. His words cannot be trusted.”

“You’re the idiot! I’m not speaking nonsense. You taught me to say that. You told me as long as I said Maya hit me, Dad won’t let me leave with her. Instead, he’ll let me stay at home. That’s why I said that!”

With that, Wilbur glanced at Rodney deliberately. “Dad, I already said that Maya hit me. Will you still let me go with her?”

Everyone got an idea of what was going on.

Mable wanted to defend Nicholas. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Rodney shot a sharp glare at her, causing her to freeze.

“When we were upstairs, you kept jeopardizing my attempts to convince Wilbur to leave with me. I really can’t figure it out. Why are you so unwilling to let Wilbur go to Imperial Garden with me? Are you trying to stop him from getting treatment and recovering?” demanded Maya.

Nicholas’ expression turned grim. “That’s not what I’m trying to do. Since Wilbur’s not in the right state of mind, his words cannot be fully trusted.”

Mabel quickly agreed, “Yeah! Why would we be unwilling for Wil to recover? In fact, we wish that he’ll go back to normal immediately! As his mother, my heart aches for Wil too. Since he’s so averse to going to Imperial Garden, why don’t we let him stay at home? Mrs. Seet and the two doctors can stay here too. Why must we force Wil to go to Imperial Garden?”
