Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done (Winter and Chris) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

“Haha…” Winter let out a soft laugh. Her eyes were bright with tears and full of mockery.

“How thoughtful of him. He really did think of everything.”

Gavin looked up at her pale face. She was leaning weakly against the headboard, so thin she seemed almost pas against it, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Unable to keep looking, he lowered his gaze. His fingers curled tightly at his side.

“Was it fun lying to me?” Winter looked at him, a faint, mocking smile tugging at her lips.

“I’m sorry.”

Gavin lowered his head and wiped away the black birthmark near the corner of his eye with the back of his hand.

Only then did Winter notice the faint scar stretching from the corner of his eye toward his temple. That must have been where the fake birthmark had been.

She turned her face toward the sunlight falling beside the bed, but all she felt inside was wave after wave of cold. “Did you come up with the name Roy Toye?”

Gavin looked at her thin profile, his eyes complicated. Then he lowered his lashes.

“Mr. Xander came up with it for me. He guessed you might ask.”

Winter’s eyes reddened even more.

Røy Toye.

Now that she thought about it, when she had applied for the overseas correspondent post in Eveland, Gavin must have reported it to Chris. Once Chris found out, he had her name removed from the list.

Even the careful, indirect questions Roy had asked about her plans to leave the country hadn’t come from genuine concern.

They hadn’t been the questions of a friend.

She had been so stupid.

She had trusted Roy so much.

And the man in front of her, the man who had appeared by her side as Roy, had been nothing more than Chris’s informant.

Was she angry?

Winter closed her eyes.

Not really.

She only felt foolish.

Roy’s rescues in the past had not been fake. More than once, she might have died if not for him.

And now they were telling him those two people were the same person?

His head was still spinning.

Gavin didn’t take the crutch. He only looked at him and asked, “You want your G to beat me up?

“No, no, no…” Zion gripped the crutch nervously.

But when he thought about how badly he had been played, all he could do was curse inwardly.

The thought of asking G to beat up Gavin suddenly felt ridiculous now.

The moment Zion remembered all the times he had said things like that right in front of Gavin, and how Gavin must have been laughing at him, his anger surged all over again.

In the end, all he managed to say was, “I’m a rough guy, so it doesn’t really matter with me. You didn’t lie to me about anything that important. At most, I’m shocked that you turned out to be G. But Ms. Scott is different. She really saw you as a friend. When you were injured, she spent every day thinking about what to cook for you and what might help you recover. But your injury was fake. You lied to her and hurt her. That was seriously messed up.”

What he really wanted to say was that it was inhuman.

But he didn’t dare.

Gavin listened in silence as Zion vented with dramatic indignation.

In this matter, Chris really had gone too far.
