Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

“Naturally, it was likely that he later fell for you, but his initial objective was to seek dukedom. Driving a wedge between us, hurting me… All that was necessary for him to have you and become a duke,” said Evan.

Evan had just finished speaking when a series of claps rang up.

All three were a little surprised when they turned around and saw that Levant had doubled back.

“You are right, Evan Seet. I went to search for Nicole because I wanted to bring her over and surprise Dad. However, I later heard about his plan to give her the title instead, so I started paying attention to her. I thought about killing her. After all, there will be no other competition for dukedom once she’s dead. I’m not inhumane, though. The duke took me in and raised me so I can’t bring myself to kill Nicole. After that, I fell for her. It’s too bad that fate won’t allow it. No matter how hard I tried, I simply can’t get her to fall for me. Now that everything is clear, please pass the dukedom over to me. Our paths will not cross again after that,” confessed Levant.

Stephen’s eyes shone with disappointment as he stared at Levant.

He never dreamed that Levant would do so many vile things just for power; the latter even went so far as trying to kill Evan.

“I will never pass the title over to you, Levant! I refuse to hand the Musgrave family over to a despicable creature like you.”

“Is that so? I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you. I have a trump card up my sleeves, after all, and I am certain that you will end up doing what I say.”

“What trump card are you talking about?”
