Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 373

“I don’t think Mr. Seet and I are compatible.”

Sophia was dumbfounded, and she scolded, “Since both of you are incompatible, you should stay
away from him! Don’t be a hypocrite and make use of him.”

I’m making use of him?

“I did not take advantage of him, I…” Nicole tried to clarify.

However, Sophia interrupted her and continued, “Ms. Lane, don’t you agree that those scandals
benefitted Lane Corporation and you?”

Nicole paused momentarily before responding, “That’s true.”

“Though you did not wish to marry Evan, you managed to spread rumors that helped Lane Corporation
and you. Aren’t you just making use of him? You should know that such rumors do not do Evan any
good. It is not honorable for him to be involved with a woman that had a scandal with Rocky,” Sophia
vented.

Nicole understood what Sophia was trying to imply.

To others, Evan seemed like he had downgraded his expectations since he was getting together with a
woman rejected by Rocky.

This did not reflect well on the Seet family.

It then occurred to Nicole that while Sophia could accept her past, Jonathan would not.

As a father, it was perfectly normal for him to be concerned with the type of woman his son marries.



Sophia was not wrong either. Though Nicole did not think she was compatible with Evan, she still
heavily relied on him, and it did make her actions seem questionable.

Nicole clenched her fists tightly and finally replied, “I understand where you are coming from. Be rest
assured that I will stay away from him from now onwards.”

Listening to her reply, Sophia thought that it was a shame.

However, Jonathan was glad to hear it and even added, “As for those rumors, I hope you will step up to
clarify them. This concerns the entire Seet family. Therefore, please sort out the scandal and reveal
who your two daughters’ biological father is.”

Nicole could only nod in agreement. “Yes, I will.”

Satisfied, Jonathan continued, “Alright then. Ms. Lane, would you like to stay for dinner?”

“It’s fine. I will make a move first then.” Nicole rejected the offer.

Jonathan nodded in response.

Nicole then looked at Sophia and smiled before she turned to leave.

At that instant, her heart felt empty.

Like what she said earlier, even if she were willing to marry Evan, while Mrs. Seet would be fine with it,
judging from Jonathan’s expression, he would not.

Well, that is for the best.

We will make a clean break then.



It is better to cut off all ties now rather than drag our suffering. After all, we have to face it at some
point.

Well, I have to get my heart broken in order to let go…

Then, she hopped into her car and drove to Summervale.

Stepping into the house, she saw Juan and Kyle playing with Nina and Maya.

Evan was on the sofa with a serious expression on his face, waiting for her to return home.

He asked, “Where were you?”

It was clear that he did not know she was at the Seet Residence.

It seems like Nina and Maya did not tell him.

That’s good.

“I had to run some errands. Mr. Seet, what are you doing here?” Nicole replied coldly.

Sensing her hostility, Evan raised his brows. “Am I not welcomed here?”

Nicole’s expression was off, and she forced a smile as she sat on the sofa opposite Evan.

She stated, “Mr. Seet, I wish to talk to you about the scandal that has been spreading.”

“I told you to ignore them,” Evan dismissed it.

Nicole looked at him and clenched her fists. “You may not mind, but my daughters’ biological father and
I do. We should hold a press conference to address it.”



Your daughters’ biological father.

Evan rarely heard her mention her daughters’ biological father on her own accord. Curious, he
questioned, “Who is Nina and Maya’s biological father? I have never seen him fulfill his duties as their
father, so is he in the position to care about those mindless rumors?”

Nicole’s lips curled up. To make things difficult for Evan, she rebutted, “Why should we show you how
he fulfils his duties as a father? I have a good relationship with him, and he has every right to be upset
to see me be involved in a scandal with another man.”

Evan remained silent and his expression darkened.

She has a good relationship with him. That implies that she thinks that he is more important than me.

She must really love that man.

Even though he does not care for his children, her heart still holds a special place for him.
