Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 408

“Who are you to speculate, Aunt Lisa?”

“Exactly. No one saw the letter, other than Grandpa. It could be something else!” Sheila stood up for Nicole as well.

 
 

Lisa crossed her arms and snorted. “Even if it’s something else, it must be something outrageous, seeing that it has angered the old man as such.”

“Everyone shut up! I’ll make that person pay if I hear another word!” Evan declared, a chill wafting across his body.

Knowing how merciless Evan could be, the Seets kept silent and dismissed themselves tactfully.

 

The children stood by their mother’s side. Although they didn’t know what was going on, the unpleasant expression on her face was palpable.

 

Their faces were taut with concern, but they didn’t know how to share her worries.

“Evan, I want to see Grandpa and ask what’s going on.”

 

Evan nodded. He wanted to know what was written in the letter as well.

He told Davin and Sheila to send the kids home before heading upstairs to Russell’s study with Nicole. Jonathan and Sophia followed anxiously behind.

 

“Mr. Evan, I’m afraid that Mr. Russell doesn’t want to see anyone right now.” Derrick stopped them from taking a step further.

“I want to see him. I need to make things clear…”

“Ms. Lane, you’re the last person that Mr. Russell wants to see. I suggest that you send her home first, Mr. Evan.”

“What exactly is going on, Derrick?” Evan asked as he regarded Derrick with confusion. He must have known something if Grandpa told him to keep the letter.

Derrick sighed, looking troubled. After a long while, he uttered softly, “It’s a grudge passed on from the previous generation.”

 

Having said that, he glanced at Nicole before bowing to Evan as he headed back to the study.

A grudge from the previous generation?

Evan looked at Nicole, who was just as surprised as he was.

Does that mean that it’s related to Nicole’s father? What kind of grudge could it be for Grandpa to have reacted so dramatically?
