Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 633

Levant simply grinned. “Apologies, Dad. I came here as soon as I finished what I needed to do.”

He nodded at Nicole after that. “Are you full, Nicole? How’s the food?”

“I’m full. The food was great,” she answered.

Levant smiled and glanced at Evan, and the tension in the air mounted almost immediately.

Levant decided to stop beating around the bush. “Dad, I heard that rumors going around of you passing the title of Duke to Nicole instead of me. Is that true?”

Nicole was mildly surprised at his statement.

Me? A duke?

Since when could women become Dukes?

It’ll be the end of the world if he made me the new Duke!

She opened her mouth to protest, but Stephen beat her to it. “It doesn’t matter. Just do what you need to do, Levant.”

“Dad! You have to put a stop to those rumors! No one’s going to trust me if you don’t do anything about them!” Levant said desperately.

Nicole stared at him in confusion.

Is he trying to fight for the title of Duke?

Stephen glanced at Levant disapprovingly.

He had considered handing down the title of Duke to Nicole, but he had been reluctant to do so precisely because of Levant’s contributions.

However, Levant’s jealousy had made Stephen lose hope in him.

“Levant, Nicole’s my biological daughter, but I’ve never fulfilled my duty as a father. I’ll be bestowing the title of Duke upon her to make up for the lost time and honor her mother Rosalie,” Stephen said.

Levant fell silent, his smile still frozen on his face. His gaze turned colder than ice as he clenched his fists in anger.

Making up for lost time? Honoring her mother? What kind of reasons are those?

I’ve been your son for twenty years and done all I could to become the next Duke!
