Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Chapter 115

“I’m here alone, Ms. Lane.”

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. It’s good that Evan’s not here. John’s easier to handle alone. “Do you need anything?”

“Let’s go inside, Ms. Lane. This is no place to talk.”

Nicole hesitated, but she let him in eventually.

John observed her house closely. It looked like a ramshackle house on the outside, and the inside wasn’t any better. The place was dull, stuffy, and uncomfortable. Everything seemed patched together overnight. No wonder this is the slums. If Mr. Seet found out that Kyle is here, he’d be heartbroken.

“Ms. Lane, I saw Kyle playing with your daughter outside. Does Mr. Seet know he comes to your place?”

Nicole had her guard up at the mention of Kyle. When she was packing her things to move a day before, Nicole realized Kyle and Juan had been swapped. The boy that was currently with her was the real Kyle. Will John tell Evan about this?

Juan’s living in Evan’s Hillside Villa now. If John told him Kyle’s here, Evan would get suspicious and look into this.

If that happens, Juan’s existence would be exposed. He’s going to take Juan away from me then. No! Juan’s my precious son. I can’t let John tell Evan about this no matter what.

“Mr. Lin, I remember you said you’d help me the best you can previously.”

John knew he said that before, but Nicole had asked him to bomb Evan’s office that time. Does she expect me to say yes? Why is she mentioning this? Does she want something?

“Mr. Lin, don’t tell Evan that Kyle’s here. That’ll be a big help for me.” Nicole looked at him with pleading eyes. This was crucial to her, and failure was unacceptable.

John sighed. With how things stood now, Evan would have killed Nicole if he could. If he found out Kyle was here, things would turn from bad to worse for Nicole.

“A word of advice for you, Ms. Lane. You’ll never win against Mr. Seet. Why don’t I take Kyle back to the villa and pretend this never happened? You don’t have to complicate things.”

Nicole was grateful for John’s help. This wasn’t a bad way either. He could send Kyle back to the villa, while she would call Juan and ask him to come back in secret.

John thought her silence meant that she was objecting to his idea, so he persuaded, “You should know Mr. Seet’s temper more than anyone, so don’t be stubborn. Getting on his bad side gets you nothing.”

“Okay then. We’ll go with your plan.”

John heaved a sigh of relief after she agreed to his plan, then he told her the reason for his visit. After she listened to it, Nicole was shaken to the core.

Nina went to Seet Group and pranked Evan? And he suspects her of being the hacker behind the network’s failure?

“Don’t blame Mr. Seet for this, Ms. Lane. During the hack back then, the IP address showed your house address, and that’s why he suspected you.”

The heck? That wasn’t me! Wait, I didn’t do it this time either! It was Juan back then, and now… Her gut told her Juan was also behind this.

Juan was researching even more powerful hacking skills these days. The continuous hacking and retreating from Seet Group’s network resembled the skill Juan was practicing. Realization dawned on Nicole on why Evan called her earlier. Nina and Juan are really bold.

“Mr. Lin, Nina is but a young child, so she can be rash sometimes. Please tell Evan not to hold it against her.”

“I don’t think that’s gonna work. Mr. Seet will definitely come for you, so you’d better get ready to explain then.”

Nicole’s face paled at that. If he comes, I’m doomed.
