Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Chapter 505

“Lisa, you must have been mistaken. Evan’s already…”

“No. It’s him! He’s the murderous scumbag!”

Nicole was angered by what Lisa had said. She glared at Lisa and asked, “Aunt Lisa, do you have evidence that it was Evan? Why would he do that to you?”

Lisa contemplated and remembered what Evan had said to her when he laid his hands on her.

He would not let her go for bullying his child.

It was because of the child.

Deep in her heart, she knew what Evan meant. She had tripped Maya on purpose in Seet Residence and pinched her harshly twice. This was the consequence of bullying Maya.

But, could she let Nicole know about this? She’s the mother of the child.

Panic flashed across her face. She couldn’t tell the truth, so she had to watch her words.

“Aunt Lisa, this is slander if you have no evidence. You’re deliberately ruining the reputation of the deceased.”

“I… I’m not slandering!”

“You said it was my son who did it, yet you have no evidence. That is slander,” Sophia argued.

Seeing both of them defending Evan, she pondered about the made-up reason she had come up with and decided to blurt it out.

“He… he did this to me because he was afraid that I would ill-treat your children. And… and that’s why he slashed my face so that I will be too embarrassed to go out.”

Lisa and Nicole locked eyes. Her reason seemed far-fetched.

“I’m telling the truth! Either Evan is back from the dead, or his soul is following your children around.”

Sophia felt that she was spouting nonsense.

“Lisa, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense. I think he’s purposely making things difficult for me. Maybe he’s really a ghost and hiding in the dark, wandering around. When I’m discharged, I’m going to replace a priest. Be it a ghost or not, he caused me to be in this state. He won’t get away with this easily.”

Seeing Lisa babbling nonsense, Sophia suspected she could really be crazy.

“Nicole, don’t argue with her anymore. I don’t think she wants to see us either. Come on, let’s go back.”

Nicole nodded in thoughtful silence.

On the way back, she carefully recalled what Lisa had said.

Lisa said that Evan had slashed her face to protect the child.

But then Maya said that there was a bad woman who bullied her, and Yoda had hit the bad woman. Could this be related?

She was going to get to the bottom of this when she gets home.

Back at Imperial Garden, Nicole quietly asked Maya and confirmed that it was Lisa who bullied her today.

She also came to know that Yoda had left Imperial Garden to teach Lisa a lesson.

Was it Yoda who slashed Lisa’s face?

But then, why did she say it was Evan who did it?

After dinner, Nicole asked Yoda about it.

“Was it you who slashed Lisa’s face?”

Yoda remained silent. He neither nod nor shook his head.

“I asked the children about it. Lisa was injured at the same time when you taught her a lesson. So, it was you who did it.”

Yoda continued to be silent.

“Why did you do that? You disfigured her just because she bullied Maya? Your action makes me feel uneasy.”

A conflicted emotion flicked in Yoda’s eyes.

He thought to himself. There’s no need to be uneasy. I can be more ruthless than just slashing her face.

Seeing him remaining in silence, Nicole clenched her fists and made a decision.

“Yoda, Lisa said you are Evan. Is that true?”

Yoda was stunned, then he shook his head.

“No?”

Nicole walked up to him and carefully observed his hideous face.

The scar did not look fake.

She studied his face and suddenly stretched out her hand to touch his face.

Yoda was startled by her sudden touch.

He couldn’t help but took two steps back instinctively.

“Why did you flinch?”

Why was he afraid to have his face touched? Was there really something wrong with his face?
