Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1234
Davin could not rebut Levantâs conclusion. However, if Levant didnât go, then he would have a hard time explaining it to Evan.
He then altered his train of thought and reassured Levant, âNo, that canât be it. It could very well be your dad saving Crystal Rose in the past, rendering her grateful for him and wanting to repay him! Sheâll definitely be grateful to see the son of the man who saved her.â
Levant stared daggers at Davin. Do I look like an idiot to you? His thoughts were written all over his face.
Uncomfortable from his gaze, Davin lowered his head and continued, âOf course, these are just speculations. Only Uncle Morris and Crystal Rose know the kind of history they have.â
âIf you want me to go with you, then I have to know about this history first.â
Levant pulled out his phone to call the person in question.
Almost immediately, the call was answered.
Levant blatantly asked, âDad, do you know Crystal Rose?â
âWho?â
âCrystal Rose!â
âWhoâs Crystal Rose? I donât know her. Are you looking for her or something?â
âDad, are you sure you donât know her? I heard that you and that woman have some kind of history.â
âHistory? What kind of history? Anyway, whoâs this Crystal Rose?â
Unable to recall anyone by that name, Murphy found what Levant was asking to be fairly odd.
Levant exchanged glances with Davin, and they both concluded that Murphy must have done something ridiculous and dishonorable for him to not want to bring up the past.
âDad, stop hiding it from me. Iâm your son. Mom sent me away as a child to be in the care of someone else, so I donât have any deep feelings for her. I would never criticize you in her stead. So just be honest, Dad. Were you involved with Crystal Rose but failed her in the end? Is that why she hates you and wants to get back at you?â
The more Murphy listened to his son, the more he was perplexed. âYou brat! Where did you even hear such a thing? I do everything righteously, and I own up to everything I do. I donât know anyone that goes by the name of Crystal Rose!â
Hearing Murphyâs loud and clear denial, Davin and Levant were startled.
Is he telling the truth? Has Evan fed me with the wrong information?
While the two were still wondering the legitimacy of what he was saying, Murphy went on in anger, âGet that Crystal Rose in front of me and ask her if she knows me. If she doesnât know me and youâre just slandering me left and right, then Iâll break your leg, you little brat!â
In the face of Murphyâs raw fury, Levant hung up instantly and questioned Davin if the information was even from a reliable source.
âItâs likely that the information is inaccurate based on how Uncle was acting. Anyways, this means you donât have to worry about any grudges between them since they donât know each other. Thereâs no hate involved, so you wonât have to feel anyoneâs wrath. Just relax and come with us!â
âWhen you first came here, you said that I needed to go because of the history between Crystal Rose and my dad. If there isnât a history, then why am I going?â
Oh, thatâs true. Evan would be furious with me if Levant didnât go, though. If I tell Evan that Crystal Rose and Murphy have no such history and that his information was wrong, heâll surely be mad.
âJust treat the trip as a short getaway. Youâre bored from being holed up in Levant Winery all day, arenât you? Nepenthe Valley might have something interesting to see and things to do!â
Levant did not respond immediately as he was busy considering it. âSure. Iâm interested in seeing what this Crystal Rose looks like for her to have rumors about having a history with my dad.â
âGreat! You should pack up. Weâre leaving tomorrow.â
