Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 654

“They must have had this plan in the works for a long time. The moment the news of me being the murder suspect gets out, my beastly uncles are going to pounce. I definitely won’t be able to keep my position as president and they’ll grab that opportunity to swallow the Seet Group.”

Nicole thought for a second. “Isn’t the person behind all this aiming to expose everything? If it doesn’t get revealed to the public, then they’d have failed, right?”

Davin sighed. “Failed? They’re already using Lily to control me and slowly taking over the Seet Group.”

“Are you saying that Adam is behind all this?”

“It has to be him. He hasn’t revealed everything yet because he doesn’t have enough confidence that he can beat Uncle Ryan yet. He’d rather control the Seet Group through a puppet like me. Then, when the time is ripe, he’ll get rid of Uncle Ryan and then release the news. At that point, both Uncle Ryan and I will be done for, and the Seet Group will be his.”

Nicole fell into deep thought again. When she went to the Seet Group today, she did overhear Adam and Lisa trying to persuade John to transfer some projects under Adam’s name, but John refused and was scolded because of it.

She never expected the two would take over the company through such shady means.

“Nicole, I didn’t have a choice. If I didn’t let him use me as a puppet, Uncle Adam would have leaked the murder case to the public and kicked me out. Now, the Seet Group is a battlefield between him and Uncle Ryan. He might not be confident in winning, but they’re at the very least on par with each other. The moment they truly start brawling, the company will suffer a lot, and Evan’s years of hard work will go to waste. That’s why I decided to play the fool and let him think he has control over me while I try to think of how to get myself out of this alive and well. Only when that happens can I really get even with him.”

Nicole thought about it before asking, “Was it also his idea for you to break off the engagement?”

“He wants to get rid of my allies so that he can control me. He aimed straight for the Muir Group, who was my source of support.”

That was unexpected. No wonder Evan said Davin might have his own problems.

He really did understand Davin more than anyone.

“Isn’t it a pity that the engagement is called off? Sheila must be really sad.”

“To her, this is a blessing in disguise. She can only chase after her dreams after she lets go of me.”

“Do you not love her?”

Davin stayed silent with a smile on his face that was tinted with bitterness.
