Mistaking The CEO For A Gigolo Chapter 1889
Chapter 1889 The Truth Of The Matter
Nicole and Evan said nothing for a moment as they traded a nce.
Utter shock inundated them both.
“Did you say that Wilbur’s stepmother intended to spike your drink?”
“Yup. Fortunately, he had long since arranged for someone to keep tabs on her. Otherwise, I’d be the
one who embarrassed myself today. If I had hugged Wilbur, kissing and mauling him, she would’ve
certainly ordered someone to secretly snap some photos and sell them to the paparazzi. If that
happened, the Seet family and I would be thoroughly humiliated.”
After hearing Maya’s story, Evan and Nicole were both puzzled.
Why would Wilbur’s stepmother be so hasty? If Maya had really drunk the fruit wine and embarrassed
herself publicly, the Seet family would definitely get to the bottom of the matter. Wasn’t she afraid that
the investigation would point to her as the culprit? And wasn’t she afraid that the Seet family would
pursue the issue?
“I think this matter isn’t that simple.”
“I agree. Wilbur’s stepmother is an old hand at scheming, so she’ll never make such a fatal mistake!”

“What do you mean, Mommy, Daddy? Are you saying that this wasn’t the doing of his stepmother, but
someone else wanted to sabotage me as well? But the news he received indicated that it was her
doing!”
The corners of Evan’s mouth lifted, and he smiled at Maya’s innocence.
“If I guessed correctly, the truth of the matter should be this—Wilbur’s stepmother indeed spiked your
fruit wine, but she didn’t necessarily use such a potent drug. She just wanted to make some waves and
assert her dominance over you by creating some trouble for you. For the drug in her fruit wine, it was
likely Wilbur who deliberately added it. Perhaps he wanted to teach her a lesson. Besides, he has a
grudge against her, so it’s highly possible that he did that.”
“So, you’re saying that he intentionally wanted to humiliate her?”
“That’s my guess!”
After Evan finished saying that, Maya thought for a while before she swiftly whipped out her phone and
rang Wilbur for confirmation.
At first, he insisted that his stepmother merely reaped what she sowed, having gone out for wool but
coming home shorn. Later, Maya questioned him by using Evan’s analysis. Wilbur was silent for a long
moment before he admitted that it was indeed him who did it on purpose.
“Mr. Seet is indeed brilliant! She added a sleeping drug to your fruit wine. She nned to make you
drowsy during dinner and bring you to a room to rest. Then, she’d take the opportunity to create a
scandal between you and Nichs so that everyone would misunderstand you, at which time she’d
speak up on your behalf. She’d leak the scandal to the paparazzi and allow it to brew. It’s already
merciful that I only did that much to her!”
“She wanted me to have a scandal with Nichs? Isn’t he engaged to Janice?” Maya’s curiosity was
piqued.
“She doesn’t like Janice. If she had, she wouldn’t have had Janice get engaged with me while pregnant
with Nichs’ child,” Wilbur exined.
“Then, that stepmother of yours is really despicable! She was all smiles when I went to your house,
attentive to the max. Even a true mother-inw might not have been as perfect as she was. If you
hadn’t told me about her true colors beforehand, I would’ve truly been taken in by her behavior.”
In response, Wilbur sneered, “Putting on a mask of feigned kindness to win people’s hearts is her usual
trick. You’ll see in the future.”
“Well, will you be in trouble, then? She’ll never let you off the hook easily after humiliating herself so
greatly.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already worked out a solution to absolve myself of responsibility when I did this. It’s
late, so hurry up and go to bed. Also, convey my wishes to your parents.”
“Okay! You should sleep early as well.”
After hanging up the phone, Maya shed Evan a thumbs up.
“Daddy, you’re really incredible! Your guess was absolutely right!”
“Wilbur’s stepmother is awfully evil. Maya, you must be careful when you go to the Simpson residence
in the future,” Nicole urged.
“How about this? Have Damien and Draven follow you to protect you at all times,” Evan suggested.
“Don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate, Daddy? I’m a girl, so it’s rather inconvenient for me to bring
two male bodyguards around, no?”
Nicole understood her daughter’s feelings. It was indeed quite inconvenient to have two male
bodyguards at the side when she was on a date with Wilbur in the future. Therefore, she suggested
having Faye protect Maya.
Faye was a woman, and not only was she skilled in fighting but also attentive. For that reason, she was
suited to follow Maya around. That aside, she was very much tactful and knew when to make herself
scarce, so she definitely wouldn’t affect Maya and Wilbur’s date.
