Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1568
The Truth
“I will tell you the truth! I will also pay for my mistake! But, please, I beg of you. Leave my family out of this! I’m willing to take full responsibility for everything!”
“Take full responsibility? We will have to see how many evil deeds you have done. Your life alone may not be enough to atone for all your sins!”
Desmond, with a head full of perspiration because of the pain, remained silent before saying, “My life alone is sufficient! Because I am not the one who pretended to be your daddy, defiled Steven’s wife, and hurt Steven! I was just an accomplice!”
“Who is the mastermind?”
“Mastermind? The mastermind is someone who hates Steven to the core! That’s why he made sure that Steven was tortured terribly! It is someone close to him.”
“Who is it?”
After Desmond revealed the mastermind’s identity and the reason for doing everything, he sneered, “Actually, this is an internal battle within the Maupay family. I happened to know about it and helped to gather information on Evan’s whereabouts. After much discussion, we came up with a plan to ensure a successful and convincing impersonation so that Steven will have no doubt at all. That’s about it.”
“That’s about it? What is your motive for doing that? What good does it do you to help them?”
“Motive? Back when Evan monopolized the business world of Y City, my company suffered tremendous losses. Can you blame me for it? I had hoped for nothing but bad luck for Evan! I had hoped for bad things to happen to him! When the opportunity arose, I decided to lend a helping hand as a way to vent my frustration.”
Juan felt that Desmond was telling the truth. After all, the business world was akin to a battlefield. It was not strange to have such intentions.
Juan glared at him. “Did you only become an accomplice because of your hatred? Once his plan comes to fruition, and Seet Group collapses, do you not get a share of the acquisition?”
At the current juncture, Desmond felt that it was pointless to hide anything else.
“It’s every man for himself! Naturally, I have negotiated my piece of the pie with him. But, now that things have gone to this extent, I cannot enjoy any benefits no matter how much I get! I have told you everything I know. Juan, be a man of your word. I hope you will not make things difficult for my family!”
He struggled to finish his sentence before passing out as a result of severe blood loss.
Juan stared at him in shock. Thinking that he might be useful in the future, Juan ordered the bodyguard to send him to Caring Hospital for treatment. He then returned to the company with Davin.
