Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1245

“Yeah. She still needs some time as Crystal Rose ordered her to soak for another hour.”

“For another hour? Why?”

“Because she was caught leaving her wooden bucket and was thus punished.”

After hearing that she was punished, Davin could not help but sigh. “Suits her right! Someone as
ungrateful as her should be duly punished!” After that, he looked toward Evan. “Evan, aren’t you afraid
she would still hold a grudge against us even if we managed to find a cure for her?”

The gleam in Evan’s eyes dwindled. “She won’t do that!”

“How are you so sure about it? You heard her saying she would continue to take revenge on us despite
saving her life!” Davin retorted.

“She won’t,” his brother answered in a determined tone.

Looking at Evan’s resolvedness, Davin was curious why. Did he perhaps think of a good idea?

Davin then continued, “Are you thinking of doing something to her? Like maybe save her life before
killing her off?”

“You’ll know about it in the near future.” Evan shot him a meaningful look.

Davin knew that he was scheming something just by his look. As for what it was, the former would have
to sit back and watch.

“Nina, it’s getting late. Go on and get some sleep.”

“Okay. Everyone, good night.”



After Nina returned to her room, the adults continued chattering for a moment before retiring for the
night.

The following day, someone knocked on their door to announce breakfast was ready early in the
morning.

Gaping at the bland dishes, Davin and Levant felt a loss of appetite.

“It’s not enough nutrients if we only consume leaves. Do you serve anything else?”

“No! People here eat it for all three of our meals.”

All three meals? How could the inhabitants of Nepenthe Valley put up with this?

As Davin and Levant were used to eating lavishly, they were unaccustomed to eating simple meals.
Thus, they started to discuss the ways to improve their meals.

“How about we hunt for some wild animals?” Davin suggested.

“That’s a great idea. I saw that there were rabbits beside the wooden house. Do you prefer it to be
steamed or braised?” Levant replied.

Before Davin could give his preference, the woman in white spoke up. “The animals in Nepenthe Valley
are used in experiments here. Therefore, it might be unsafe for you to consume it as they might have
poison in them.”

“Huh? Why would you do something like that?”

“Of course, it’s to try out our antidotes. Otherwise, how would we be so talented in this aspect?”



“So that’s their reason behind them being so talented in formulating antidotes. However, there must be
many animals sacrificed for the sake of it. That woman is way too cruel,” Davin muttered to Levant.

However, the woman in white answered before anyone else could. “The main purpose of us doing this
is to save lives. If compared, a human’s life is definitely more precious than an animal’s. Besides, less
than a hundred animals were killed in the experiment. Which, I dare say, is nothing compared to those
slaughterhouses.”

Levant and Evan exchanged glances. After seeing how fierce the woman was, they did not continue
arguing with her. Since the animals in this valley cannot be eaten, we’ll have to think of another way.

Looking opposite him, Davin was absolutely horrified seeing Evan and Nina having finished their
portion of vegetables. I didn’t know my older brother was such a pro! How on earth could he finish
eating something as plain as that?
