Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Chapter 273

“Evan, have you gone nuts? How could you let someone like that stay?”

“Mom, s-she must stay.”

“Seriously, Evan, what do you see in her? Ask yourself and be honest. Do you really love her?”

It doesn’t matter if I love her. I made a promise that I cannot break.

Davin had his eyes on Evan, and the former could tell that the latter was hiding something.

“That is none of your business. She must stay.”

Evan’s persistence infuriated Sophia, and she demanded an explanation.

Sylphiette saw how troubled Evan was, and she was worried that he would tell them the truth. Once he shared the secret, Davin and Sophia will surely spare no expense investigating the matter. If the truth is discovered…

“Evan, I don’t want to put you in an awkward position. I’ll leave. I’ll leave right now…” said Sylphiette, before she stood up and dashed out while crying.

“Shouldn’t you pack your stuffs?” asked Davin as he glared from behind.

She should pack and leave without looking back like Nicole did. That was true determination.

Dragging your feet and putting on an act like that. It’s obvious you want Evan to chase after you.

To everyone’s surprise, Sylphiette didn’t wait for Evan to chase after her before Crack! Sylphiette fell onto the floor.

“Ah, my leg. My leg hurts so much!”

That was when Davin realized that Sylphiette never wanted Evan to chase after her. She fell deliberately so she couldn’t move out. That was her true intention and how she planned on staying.

Huh, that is a pretty good trick. Evil, but good.

As expected, Evan rushed over to check on her. Sylphiette acted as if she couldn’t move and was weak and in pain.

She is pretty good at acting weak.

Exasperated, Evan had the maid help Sylphiette into the room, then call the family doctor over to check on Sylphiette.

That whole incident got Sophia fuming.

Davin chimed in from the side, “Mom, I have an idea. Let’s get the production company to sign a contract with her and make her an actress. She doesn’t even need a script to act well.”

Sophia turned around and scoffed, “How is that good acting? She is just too dumb to realize that everyone could see through her act. I replace it so strange. Why would your brother be into a woman like that?”

“Mom, I think Evan has another reason for letting her stay.”

Davin asked Evan if he loved Sylphiette, and the way Evan avoided eye contact suggested that his feelings for Sylphiette weren’t genuine.

Davin’s replaceings intrigued Sophia, and she asked what was troubling Evan.

“I’m investigating it. Give me a couple more days.”

Sophia sighed.

Evan was persistent in letting Sylphiette stay, and Sylphiette’s supposed fall made it seemed like it was impossible for her to walk. Given the situation, it was not wise for Sophia to chase Sylphiette away at that moment.

If Sophia pushed any more, she would risk damaging her relationship with her son, which would in turn push him further towards Sylphiette.

Their only option was to wait until Davin learn the secret before they attack accordingly.

Having concluded that, Sophia turned to Juan and Kyle before suggesting, “Follow grandma back home. This is not a good place for the two of you now, and you can return after she has left.”

Sophia was worried about leaving her two grandkids there. The consequences would be devastating if Sylphiette traumatizes the kids further or do something bad to them.

“Then when will she leave daddy?”

“That would depend on how good your Uncle Davin is at his job.”

“Me?” blurted Davin as he pointed at his own nose.

“Yes, you. We can only move forward after you discover the secret, so you must hurry.”

Davin sighed deeply before nodding.

Juan stepped forward and acted like he was an adult when he encouraged Davin, “You can do it, Uncle Davin.”

Davin gave the kid a thumbs up.

Kyle, on the other hand, stared coolly at Davin. His tiny face was serious when he informed, “This is your shot to prove yourself. Don’t disappoint grandma.”

Kyle’s cool style got Davin to punch his own chest and promised, “Don’t worry. I will go investigate the matter right away.”

Davin turned to head to Evan’s room.

He had only taken a few steps before Sophia called out, “Drive us home first. The stench of a pretentious vixen is too heavy in here, and I’m getting a headache.”
