Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1261

Hearing that, Levant fell silent.

After a while, he looked at Crystal Rose and asked, “If he wasn’t the one who poisoned you, would you
still hate him so much?”

Murphy didn’t administer the poison?

Crystal Rose did not believe that at all. “Levant, stop looking for excuses to exculpate him. Scelerus is
the poison of Wicked Palace. No one could get their hands on it except him. Besides, I treated
everyone well when I was in Wicked Palace. Except for Murphy, I had never offended anyone, so he
was the only one who wanted me to die. After I died, he could live happily ever after with Portia.”

Speaking of Portia, Levant could not decide if he should tell Crystal Rose that it was Portia who took
him away from the orphanage and later gave him a warm home.

After giving it some thought, he decided not to tell her. After all, it would not be good news for her that
her biological child was adopted by her love rival.

“But he said that he wasn’t the one who administered the poison. He’ll investigate the matter thoroughly
and give you a reasonable explanation. Let’s wait for him patiently. There may be another truth.”

Another truth?

Crystal Rose sneered. “If it wasn’t him, then I would’ve hated the wrong person. Nonetheless, I really
hope that there’s another truth. At least it proves that I didn’t make a bad choice marrying him back
then, and I won’t dream of killing him every single night anymore.”

It was obvious that the hatred she had for Murphy was bred-in-the-bone. At that moment, Levant
wondered if she still had a tad bit of love for Murphy.



“If it wasn’t him, would you be willing to get back with him?”

“No! From the moment he betrayed me, I’ll never forgive him! What is done can never be undone. It’s
impossible to patch things up between us.” With that said, she was suddenly interested in Levant’s love
life. “Are you married?”

Despite being surprised by her question, he shook his head in response.

“Why aren’t you married at this age? Did you not meet any women you liked?”

Hearing that, he smiled bitterly. “I met the woman of my life, but she’s someone else’s wife.”

Unrequited love?

Crystal Rose sighed distressedly. “In this case, you should forget her and find someone suitable for
you. Those at your age, their children are already at the age where they go to school.”

“Yes, he’s in kindergarten now,” he replied softly.

Confused, she asked, “Y-You have a child?”

In response, Levant nodded.

“What’s going on? The woman who gave birth to your child married someone else?”

Looking at the confused woman, he stood up. “No, my child’s mother isn’t the woman I love. I don’t
want to marry her as well. She should find her own happiness.”

For a moment, Crystal Rose could not tell what was going on. Just as she was figuring things out, he
suddenly sneered. “Maybe letting my lust go unchecked after getting drunk is hereditary. I inherited



Murphy’s genes and had my son. However, Murphy said that it wasn’t hereditary; it was because I
couldn’t resist temptation. I suppose so. Since I’m his son, I’m a b*stard just like him!”

Having said that, he smiled wryly and left.

Staring at his back as he walked away, she recalled his expression earlier. Although she could not
understand what was going on, she could see that something was weighing on his mind. He had
regrets and felt remorseful. He was not happy.

Unexpectedly, my son’s love life is full of obstacles as well. Is fate toying with us? He even said that
he’s a b*stard just like Murphy.

Thinking of that, she felt a tug in her heart. If I had been by his side, all these things might not have
happened. Son, I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to give you any maternal love.

Meanwhile, at Wicked Palace, Murphy was shocked when he read the information he found.

Is this true? How could she be the person who poisoned Jordyn? How could it be her?
