Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 591

When she got there, it was completely empty.

This was preposterous!

This estate was her property. She couldn’t believe how difficult it was to search for someone on her territory!

She wanted to order her men to search Sir Musgrave’s residence as well, but she knew he would not be happy to see a crowd of people descending upon his home.

Besides, he had already ordered the employees around the estate to protect those four kids.

Hence, she made her way to his study room to explain everything to him.

“…those kids made Daphne suffer so horribly. I have to make them pay the price for it! Nicole Lane must have ordered them to do that. Otherwise, how could a few children their age cook up such a horrible plan? The scars on Daphne’s face might even be permanent! You have to team up with me on this!”

Seeing his wife boil with rage, Sir Musgrave fell into deep thought.

From his few interactions with Nicole, he refused to believe that she would instigate her own children to do something like this.

Those children of hers were smart and innocent at the same time. Likewise, he had doubts that they would do something so cruel without a reason.

“There must be a reason for this. Do you know why they did this?”

Hearing this question, Lady Musgrave felt rather stunned.

She knew perfectly why the kids had done that. It was because Daphne took her orders and arranged for people to kidnap Nicole and the children away from the residence. She had tried to send them away.

Those children must have found out and retaliated like a bunch of rabid wolves.

However, there was no way she was going to tell Sir Musgrave about this.

She thought deeply about how to reply. Eventually, she said, “It’s probably because those kids haven’t been raised properly. That’s the only reason why they could’ve done something so preposterous.”

“…”

Sir Musgrave looked very, well, grave. Evidently, he didn’t believe her explanation.

The wife continued indignantly, “You have to settle this debt for Daphne! She’s my niece, and she calls you Uncle Stephen out of respect! How can I stand to see her being bullied like this on this estate? What am I supposed to tell her parents? Do you want to start a war with my maiden family over a matter like this?”

There was a deeper and more sinister meaning to her innocuous statement. Left with few options, Lady Musgrave decided to use her maiden family to threaten her husband.

She was insistent this time.

“I’ll settle this matter for you. Please return for now.”
