Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 554

Portia seemed worried as she pondered about what to say. In the end, she sighed helplessly.

“Recently, Levant brought a girl back. She suddenly became mentally challenged without reason. Perhaps she was ill before this and had a relapse. He is spending all his time with her. That won’t do!”

Stephen was lost in thought. Is the young lady Portia talking about the one who Daphne poisoned?

No one would become mentally challenged without a reason.

As he seemed to be mulling over the matter, Portia continued, “Stephen, both Daphne and I tried to persuade Levant, but he refused to listen to us. Why don’t you take action and send her away?”

Stephen immediately understood his wife’s intention.

So even Daphne hates that young lady.

That means Portia was indeed talking about that young lady poisoned by Daphne.

“I understand. You can leave now.”

“Okay.”

Portia turned before placing a bowl of soup on his table. “Remember to drink it.”

She left the room smugly. She was certain Levant wouldn’t dare to defy his father.

Nicole will leave the estate soon.

Levant and Daphne will get along well gradually. Finally, peace will be restored.

After the door was shut, puzzlement flitted across Stephen’s face. He couldn’t understand why the young lady ended up becoming mentally challenged when he had forced the poison out of her system using acupuncture.

Didn’t my acupuncture work?

No, it must’ve worked.

He decided to find out whether his acupuncture worked.

He summoned his maids.

“Sir Musgrave, at your service.”

“Find out in secret…”

“Yes, Sir Musgrave.”

The maid left to carry out his order. A gleam flashed across his gaze as he grinned. Standing up, he left his study.

Right then, Nicole was sitting in her room, staring at the ceiling blankly.

She regretted punishing Daphne as an ‘idiot’. Sure, she got to vent her anger, but she wouldn’t get to talk to Daphne anymore.

How would she get to know who taught Daphne her acupuncture skills?’
