Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1261
Hearing that, Levant fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Crystal Rose and asked, âIf he wasnât the one who poisoned you, would you still hate him so much?â
Murphy didnât administer the poison?
Crystal Rose did not believe that at all. âLevant, stop looking for excuses to exculpate him. Scelerus is the poison of Wicked Palace. No one could get their hands on it except him. Besides, I treated everyone well when I was in Wicked Palace. Except for Murphy, I had never offended anyone, so he was the only one who wanted me to die. After I died, he could live happily ever after with Portia.â
Speaking of Portia, Levant could not decide if he should tell Crystal Rose that it was Portia who took him away from the orphanage and later gave him a warm home.
After giving it some thought, he decided not to tell her. After all, it would not be good news for her that her biological child was adopted by her love rival.
âBut he said that he wasnât the one who administered the poison. Heâll investigate the matter thoroughly and give you a reasonable explanation. Letâs wait for him patiently. There may be another truth.â
Another truth?
Crystal Rose sneered. âIf it wasnât him, then I wouldâve hated the wrong person. Nonetheless, I really hope that thereâs another truth. At least it proves that I didnât make a bad choice marrying him back then, and I wonât dream of killing him every single night anymore.â
It was obvious that the hatred she had for Murphy was bred-in-the-bone. At that moment, Levant wondered if she still had a tad bit of love for Murphy.
âIf it wasnât him, would you be willing to get back with him?â
âNo! From the moment he betrayed me, Iâll never forgive him! What is done can never be undone. Itâs impossible to patch things up between us.â With that said, she was suddenly interested in Levantâs love life. âAre you married?â
Despite being surprised by her question, he shook his head in response.
âWhy arenât you married at this age? Did you not meet any women you liked?â
Hearing that, he smiled bitterly. âI met the woman of my life, but sheâs someone elseâs wife.â
Unrequited love?
Crystal Rose sighed distressedly. âIn this case, you should forget her and find someone suitable for you. Those at your age, their children are already at the age where they go to school.â
âYes, heâs in kindergarten now,â he replied softly.
Confused, she asked, âY-You have a child?â
In response, Levant nodded.
âWhatâs going on? The woman who gave birth to your child married someone else?â
Looking at the confused woman, he stood up. âNo, my childâs mother isnât the woman I love. I donât want to marry her as well. She should find her own happiness.â
For a moment, Crystal Rose could not tell what was going on. Just as she was figuring things out, he suddenly sneered. âMaybe letting my lust go unchecked after getting drunk is hereditary. I inherited Murphyâs genes and had my son. However, Murphy said that it wasnât hereditary; it was because I couldnât resist temptation. I suppose so. Since Iâm his son, Iâm a b*stard just like him!â
Having said that, he smiled wryly and left.
Staring at his back as he walked away, she recalled his expression earlier. Although she could not understand what was going on, she could see that something was weighing on his mind. He had regrets and felt remorseful. He was not happy.
Unexpectedly, my sonâs love life is full of obstacles as well. Is fate toying with us? He even said that heâs a b*stard just like Murphy.
Thinking of that, she felt a tug in her heart. If I had been by his side, all these things might not have happened. Son, Iâm sorry that I wasnât able to give you any maternal love.
Meanwhile, at Wicked Palace, Murphy was shocked when he read the information he found.
Is this true? How could she be the person who poisoned Jordyn? How could it be her?
