Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 408

“Who are you to speculate, Aunt Lisa?”

“Exactly. No one saw the letter, other than Grandpa. It could be something else!” Sheila stood up for
Nicole as well.




Lisa crossed her arms and snorted. “Even if it’s something else, it must be something outrageous, seeing
that it has angered the old man as such.”

“Everyone shut up! I’ll make that person pay if I hear another word!” Evan declared, a chill wafting across
his body.

Knowing how merciless Evan could be, the Seets kept silent and dismissed themselves tactfully.



The children stood by their mother’s side. Although they didn’t know what was going on, the unpleasant
expression on her face was palpable.



Their faces were taut with concern, but they didn’t know how to share her worries.

“Evan, I want to see Grandpa and ask what’s going on.”



Evan nodded. He wanted to know what was written in the letter as well.



He told Davin and Sheila to send the kids home before heading upstairs to Russell’s study with Nicole.
Jonathan and Sophia followed anxiously behind.



“Mr. Evan, I’m afraid that Mr. Russell doesn’t want to see anyone right now.” Derrick stopped them from
taking a step further.

“I want to see him. I need to make things clear…”

“Ms. Lane, you’re the last person that Mr. Russell wants to see. I suggest that you send her home first,
Mr. Evan.”

“What exactly is going on, Derrick?” Evan asked as he regarded Derrick with confusion. He must have
known something if Grandpa told him to keep the letter.

Derrick sighed, looking troubled. After a long while, he uttered softly, “It’s a grudge passed on from the
previous generation.”



Having said that, he glanced at Nicole before bowing to Evan as he headed back to the study.

A grudge from the previous generation?

Evan looked at Nicole, who was just as surprised as he was.

Does that mean that it’s related to Nicole’s father? What kind of grudge could it be for Grandpa to have
reacted so dramatically?

“Let’s go home first,” Evan suggested.



Nicole nodded in silence.

Knowing that it wasn’t some indecent photo, but a grudge passed on from the previous generation,
Sophia was relieved that Russell’s anger had no direct relationship with Nicole.

“Cheer up. I’ll try to talk to the old man,” she comforted.

“Thank you.”

“Evan, take good care of Nicole.”

Evan nodded and left with Nicole in his arms.

“This wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t allow them to be together in the first place.” Jonathan sighed,
looking at Sophia.

“You heard it. It’s something to do with the past. This isn’t Nicole’s fault! You can’t just blame her,” Sophia
uttered incredulously.

“Who said anything about blaming her? I’m blaming you. You shouldn’t have agreed to it in the first
place!”

“Hmph! I’ll do what I want!”

I guess I’ve been too forbearing lately that you don’t know who’s the boss in the family, do you? So
they’ve said, never spoiled a woman or they’ll climb all over you.

Jonathan sighed and marched off to his study.

At the garage, Nicole suggested that they pay Zane a visit, in search of some clues.

She was dying to know the reason for Russell’s sudden change in attitude.



Evan was curious as well. He wanted to know what Zane had done to tick his grandfather off. If it were
just a dispute about business, his grandfather wouldn’t have been so angry.

Along the way to the Lane family villa, Nicole was feeling very uneasy as Russell’s words echoed in his
ears.

“I forbid you to marry this woman!”

“And never allow her to set foot in the Seet family again!”
