Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1260

Levant accepted the teacup and took a whiff of the tea. It was fragrant and fresh. Then, he had a quick
sip. Not only was the tea mellow and smooth, but the aftertaste was sweet too. It was indeed a good
tea.

“It’s pretty good.”

Hearing his compliment, Crystal Rose grinned happily.

Never had she imagined that she would be able to see her son again, let alone make tea for him and
listen to him saying that the tea was delicious.

“Levant, what do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you.”

Meanwhile, Levant finished the tea and gently placed the teacup on the table. Lifting his head, he fixed
his gaze on her and piped up, “I came here because I have some questions for you.”

“What is it?”

“How long did it take you to completely remove the poison from your body? When you were talking on
the phone earlier, I vaguely heard that you used three years to get rid of it. Is that right?”

Crystal Rose let out a sigh at his question. Even though many years had passed since then, the
detoxification process was so painful that it still haunted her to this day.

“Yes. There was no antidote for Scelerus. When Scarlet Witch tried to remove the poison from my
body, she kept on experimenting and researching. You could say that I was her test subject.
Fortunately, she succeeded, and because of that, I managed to survive.”

“Three years. Why didn’t you leave the valley and look for me after that? Since you hate Murphy so
much, why didn’t you seek revenge against him all these years?”



As soon as he finished speaking, he stared at her face intently. Despite growing old, Crystal Rose still
had a refined air about her. Upon closer inspection, he could see that his eyes and brows were
somewhat similar to hers.

“It was because I lost my memory after I recovered. I forgot who I was, and I didn’t remember what
happened before that. Scarlet Witch forbade everyone from telling me the truth. She told me that I was
her descendant, and I had amnesia when I came here. She made up a lie so that I would learn the
secret art of detoxification from her in peace. Two years ago, she tried a type of poison on herself, but it
spread to her internal organs rapidly. There was no antidote to cure her. Before she died, she gave me
medicine, and I suddenly remembered everything again. When I regained my memory, she made me
swear that I would never leave Nepenthe Valley and forget all the resentments I had. It was her last
wish. I know she did all that because she didn’t want me to live in hatred. She was also afraid that I
would seek revenge against Murphy because if I failed, I might lose my life. Anyhow, I’m willing to
believe that she made me lose my memory for my own good. Nevertheless, because of that, I failed to
become a certifiable mother. I’m sorry!”

So that’s why. No wonder she asked Evan to kill Murphy for her when she was removing the poison
from Nina’s body. It turns out that she can’t leave the valley.

“If you hadn’t lost your memory, would you have come and find me?”

“Yes! I definitely would have,” she answered confidently. After staying silent for a moment, she
continued, “Levant, it’s up to you what you choose to believe, but I would have definitely gone to look
for you. I gave birth to you and Avril, and I can give up everything for the rest of my life. I only hope that
both of you can live a peaceful life.”

“Really? Then can you let go of your hatred toward Murphy?”

In an instant, Crystal Rose’s expression darkened. She hated Murphy to the core.



Ever since she regained her memory, she felt a heart-wrenching pain whenever she recalled his
betrayal and poisoning, as if someone was stabbing a sharp blade into her heart. It’s so painful. How
can I let go of that hatred?

“Levant, I’m willing to use my life to exchange for a peaceful life for both you and your sister, but I can’t
let go of my hatred for Murphy until I breathe my last. You don’t know how it feels to be betrayed by the
person you love. I hope you can understand. If he didn’t hurt me that much, how could I have such
unquenchable hatred for him?”
