Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Chapter 168

Knowing that Evan wouldn’t get drunk easily, Nicole decided to persuade him to drink more.

“Mr. Seet, what do you have to work on at night? Please have more wine. Besides, Blake said that this bottle of wine is one of your finest collections.”

Suddenly, Evan sneered, “Why do you want me to drink more? Are you planning to do something when I’m drunk?”

At the same time, he stared at her with his pair of icy-cold eyes as if he saw through her mind.

Nicole was startled when she heard it.

I do have an ulterior motive. But is it too early for me to reveal it now?

When she was hesitant, Evan stood up and leaned closer to her.

Her heart pounded when they were very close to each other.

After a while, he whispered in her ears with a deep and magnetic voice, “You put up a good show in the morning and at night. Are you trying to seduce me to get something from me, such as being my wife?”

She shook her head shockingly and replied, “No, it is not what you think. I have never thought about that.”

In fact, she only wished to persuade him to forgo his right to custody of Juan but never thought of becoming his wife.

Her heart thumped wildly when she realized that he misunderstood her.

Damn it! Davin’s strategies don’t work, and Evan has misunderstood me now!

“No worries. You won’t have the same thought soon. Since I have had your dishes, it’s time for me to give you a present in return.”

Once he finished, Nicole looked up at him curiously.

Will this jerk really give me a present? I don’t believe it!

The next moment, Evan dialed a phone number and said, “Have you brought the man here?”

“Mr. Seet, he is here now.”

“Bring him in.”

Nicole began to feel nervous. Judging from his evil-looking eyes, she could foresee that something bad was about to happen.

Not long after she heard the approaching footsteps, someone yelled sorrowfully at her, “Nicole, I finally found you!”

She looked up at the person and said surprisingly, “Why are you here?”

“You must have a lot to talk about with your father since you have finally reunited with him.”

Evan went upstairs right after giving her a wry glance.

Meanwhile, she was pissed off and felt like biting him the moment he walked away.

I put on delicate makeup and spent so much time preparing dinner for him, yet he gives me trouble instead! Evan Seet, you are a real jerk!

“Nicole, can I have the food?”

She turned around to size up Zane when she heard his question. Zane seemed to have a difficult life after Lane Corporation went bankrupt.

Besides, he was merely wearing some off-brand clothes and looked rather pale.

“Go ahead,” Nicole replied blandly and sat at the table.

Zane waffled on when he had the food, “Nicole, you seem to have a good life here. It’s even better when you were in the Lin family. But I didn’t expect…”

However, she interrupted before he continued, “You didn’t expect that I could survive even though Sylvia bullied me when I was in the Lane family. Besides, I even have a better life than before. Am I right?”

When Zane looked up at her, he couldn’t help but heave a long sigh.

“Alas, let bygones be bygones. Why do you have to mention her again? Besides, it should have mollified you ever since the Lane family went bankrupt because of you.”

Much to his surprise, she sneered as soon as he finished.

“Dad, why are you blaming me for going bankrupt? Lane Corporation will eventually go bankrupt with or without me. Ask Evan Seet if you don’t believe me.”

If Evan didn’t make me a scapegoat, Sylvia and Sylphiette wouldn’t maltreat me. Besides, Juan was kidnapped because of this!

In fact, she was tired of taking the blame.

Nonetheless, Zane glanced at her and continued, “Mr. Seet told me Lane Corporation went bankrupt because of you, and you’re the only one who can turn the tide. So, this is the reason that I’m looking for you.”

The next moment, Nicole was exasperated.

He made me a scapegoat and framed me! This is nonsense!

“Evan Seet, come out now!” She stood up and shouted.

However, Zane was shocked to hear it. He immediately stood up nervously and advised her, “Are you out of your mind? How dare you be rude to the president of Seet Group?”
