Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2119

Chapter 2119 Truth

William thought about it for a while before saying, “I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I still can’t figure out how to tell you.” Francesca kept mum and waited.

William then lowered his head and took a deep breath. “Francesca, I’m sorry. I’ve lied to you. From the beginning, I knew I have been poisoned, and I knew the problem came from the water supply.

I tricked you into coming here. There are two reasons why I’ve done so. Firstly, you’re the only person who can save us from the poison and cure my leg. Secondly, you can see how His Majesty doesn’t even care about whether I live or die.

Even if everyone in the castle were to die because of the poison, he’ll just brush me off when I tell him about it. Nothing good will come out of it. Although I don’t care if I live or die, I can’t let others die with me. Hence, I got you to investigate the water supply so that Federico would pay attention to it. After that, I wanted to use your name to prove the matter.”

William paused and lowered his head shamefully before adding, “I know I’m shameless and despicable. However, I had no choice.”

“Did you get Robin to report to Federico? Did you tell him to reveal my relationship with Danrique?” Francesca queried. “Yes.” William nodded. “I’ve planned it all out. I’ve used you and lied to you.”

With that, he hung his head low and dared not look Francesca in the eyes.

To his surprise, Francesca wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she didn’t seem displeased. In a calm tone, she said, “I have guessed that much. I’m angry, but I understand why you’ve done that. You have the lives of so many people on your shoulders.”

“Are you not blaming me?” William was taken aback.
