Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 2079 The Taunt

After ending the call, Mabel couldn’t bring herself to calm down, for she knew that she had to strike that very night and there was no room for failure.

Looking at the drunk Rodney, Mabel covered him with a blanket before going off to prepare something to sober him up. While doing so, she spiked the soup she made.

After a dazed Rodney was forced to finish the soup, he began to feel his body burn and even had hallucinations. Mabel cracked a faint smile at him before unbuttoning his shirt and climbing onto his bed. After making out for a while, she lay beside him and stared at him in elation.

The very first time she laid eyes on him in Axel’s home, she fell head over heels for him. Subsequently, her desire for him increased after hearing Axel’s wife describe his family situation.

I’m only one step away now. Once I have completed the final step, this man will be mine! Holding that thought, she took out her phone and snapped compromising photos of them together. After that, she straighten her clothing and walked toward Angelique’s room.

At that moment, Angelique was lying on her bed, feeling unsettled. She was trying to figure out why Rodney cruelly destroy The Promise and how did their relationship end up on the rocks.

When she heard a sudden knock on the door, she asked, “Who is it?”

“Angelique, it’s me. Are you still up?”

“What is it?” “I have something important to tell you. Please open the door.” After Angelique got out of bed and opened the door, she asked, “What’s the matter?”

“This is serious. Let’s talk inside.” Even though Angelique was suddenly seized by a sense of dread, she still allowed Mabel to enter.

At that moment, Angelique couldn’t have imagined that Mabel had come to force her to kill herself.

After closing the door, Angelique laid back down on her bed, while Mabel stood in front of her.

“Tell me, what is it?” “Angelique, do you still remember the picture I showed you a few days ago?”

Angelique recalled the picture where Rodney was in a tight embrace with another lady. However, only Rodney’s face could clearly be seen but not the lady’s.

“I do. What about it?”

“Do you know who that lady in the picture is?”

Angelique asked curiously, “Who is she?”

“It’s…”

Even though the photo was doctored, Mabel had to twist the facts to suit her plan. She continued, “It’s me.”

At that very instant, Angelique felt as if her mind was blown.

“What? You?”

“Yes. That was the first time I met Mr. Simpson. He suddenly hugged me then and told me that he liked me. Don’t you think that love works in strange ways?”

“Love?”

Angelique eyed Mabel in disbelief. Thinking back to how the three of them interacted with each other and the way Rodney treated Mabel, she couldn’t see that Rodney had any feelings for Mabel at all.

“No, that can’t be.”

“Don’t you believe me? I have more pictures here. Would you like to see them?”

Mabel had scarcely spoken when she showed Angelique the compromising pictures that she had just taken.

“Look, you can see my face clearly in this one! Also, this one shows how we’re hugging each other. And this one…”

Staring that the shocking photos, Angelique fell silent as if she was frozen in stone.

After putting her phone aside, Mabel could tell from the look on Angelique’s face that the photos had dealt the latter a crushing blow.

“Honestly, I don’t even know why Mr. Simpson likes me that much. He claims that it was love at first sight. He also tells me that I’m the one he loves the most. Unfortunately, he is married to you and has children with you.

Since his business is currently in ascendance, a divorce would have a negative impact on the company. Consequently, he arranged for me to stay here as the children’s godmother so that he can often see me and be together with me. Furthermore, he wants me to build a relationship with the children so that I can be a mother to them once you’re gone.”

Mabel taunted Angelique on purpose.
