Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2103

Chapter 2103 How Ruthless

“She probably does,” William answered in a grim tone. “It was just last night that Danrique broke up with her, and this morning, he has already announced his engagement to Hazel. Everything is happening too fast!”

“Really?” Robin was filled with doubt. “I thought Mr. Lindberg has deep feelings for Ms. Felch. He did so much for her previously, so why would he break up with her all of a sudden? Besides, if he really likes Hazel, they would have already gotten together from the very beginning. Why did he only agree to it now? Considering his character, is his hand being forced by the circumstances? What’s really going on?”

“I’m afraid he’s trying to corner me.” William’s brows furrowed. “It’s obvious to him that I’m using his name to achieve my goals. That’s why he has struck back at me this way. To be honest, I can’t deny how ruthless his methods are!”

“I don’t think he would go that far.” Robin still found it unbelievable. “If Danrique noticed something, he could’ve used some other way to stop us. There’s no need to sacrifice his relationship with Ms. Felch, and to even marry Hazel? He doesn’t strike me as someone whose decisions are driven by his emotions.”

“I still don’t know what he has hidden up his sleeve, but it’s certainly directed at me.” William’s brows were still tightly knitted. “I have underestimated his decisiveness by assuming that I could strike before he realized it. I was hoping to just apologize once the matter was resolved. It never crossed my mind that he was one step ahead of me—he was already investigating me when Francesca was in Danontand and had formulated his countermeasures. And now, his plan has taken me by surprise.”

“Danrique is such a ruthless man,” Robin commented with a frown. “All we did was just borrow his influence, nothing more, but he counterattacks as if he’s going to kill us!”

“He wouldn’t be Danrique if he wasn’t ruthless.” William let out a sigh. “Besides, I was the one who offended him first, so I can’t complain about him striking back at me.”

“What should we do now?” Robin looked at him anxiously. “After putting in so much effort and with victory within our grasp, we can’t just give up now, can we?”

“I’m working on it,” William responded with a grave expression. “Do you remember what I told you in the morning?”
