Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 410

As they got up to leave, Sylvia, who had been eavesdropping outside, quickly hid in the room next door.

Why is she asking about matters from the past? Could it be related to that incident? After all these years, they couldn’t have possibly found out about anything, could they? Would Sylphiette and I get dragged into this? Nevertheless, that matter has nothing to do with us. No, safety’s first. We should lie low for a while, lest we get into trouble.

Sylvia immediately dialed Sylphiette’s number. “Sylphiette, come home tonight. I want you to tell your father that you want to further your studies abroad and have me accompany you.”

Sylphiette didn’t know what was going on, but she did as she was told.

Zane was a sly, old fox who could see through everything thoroughly. He knew that she must have overheard his conversation with Nicole and Evan, seeing that she had made such a rash decision.

Yet, he still agreed, thinking that it might be a good thing for her to go abroad, in case she fell into Evan’s hands and spilled the beans.

“Take care of your mother while you’re abroad and try not to contact anyone back home. Do you hear me, Sylphiette?”

This was no trivial matter. He was afraid that Sylphiette would be affected as well.

Sylvia’s heart thumped. She couldn’t have understood the meaning behind his words better.

“Don’t worry. Sylphiette’s going abroad to learn how to run a company. She won’t have time to keep in touch with anyone back home.” Sylvia forced a smile.

“That’s good then.”

At Summervale, Nicole stood before the window, looking at the flickering lights in the night sky, feeling both anxious and lost.

Although Evan had comforted her over and over again before he left, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild at the sudden blow in her face.

If Dad had really done something unpardonable to the Seet family and Evan had come to learn about it, will he be unable to forgive me as well? Will he listen to Grandpa and break up with me?

Nicole’s heart ached at the thought of breaking up with Evan. It was as though someone had pierced her heart with a knife.

If Evan were to break up with me, will he take the kids away and forbid me from seeing them again?

Nicole gasped for breath at that thought.
