Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 210

"I really want to ask her, am I her daughter-in-law? No, I'm her mortal enemy! The servants in the house follow her example, giving me dirty looks and cursing me, saying I'm worse than a dog. In seven years of marriage, I believe I've never wronged the Sterling family, but what about the Sterlings? How have you treated me?"

"Grandfather, your health isn't good, so all these years, I never complained to you once. But today, I simply can't bear it anymore. She said my genes are trash, said it's just a child. Since this child isn't welcome, since the Sterlings look down on it, then it's better if it doesn't come into this world to suffer and endure dirty looks with me. I'll go schedule an abortion right now."

With that, Summer turned to leave again.

Although Xavier was annoyed at Summer improvising the script, they were currently in the same boat, so he didn't say anything.

Furthermore, he also wanted to see if his family would compromise.

If they did, it meant Summer's approach was effective and worth learning from.

Once he got the shares, and once he and Lily held a public wedding and solidified their relationship, his family would probably compromise as well.

After all, Lily was genuinely pregnant!

Carlson panicked. "Wesley, hurry and stop her."

Wesley, forced to listen to all these dirty family secrets, was just processing his shock. Hearing this, he took a step forward and grabbed Summer.

Summer struggled. "Don't stop me. I don't want this child anymore. I want a divorce!"

Carlson glared fiercely at Zelda and said, "What divorce? It's not her place to call the shots in this family."

Having said that, his tone softened. "Summer, if you've been wronged, Grandfather will stand up for you. The child is innocent. That's a human life, can you really bear to do it?"

Summer sneered inwardly. Who cared about being Xavier's bride?

She took the tissue Wesley handed her, wiping her tears while saying, "Grandfather, the wedding doesn't matter. Keeping it simple is fine too, I don't care." After all, it wouldn't be her wedding anyway.

"All I want is an apology from her!" As she spoke, Summer pointed at Zelda. "She must admit her mistakes and apologize in front of all the servants in the house, and write a public apology letter of at least three thousand words."

Zelda's eyes widened in disbelief. "Summer, I am your mother-in-law! It's only natural for a mother-in-law to discipline her daughter-in-law. Since ancient times, when has a mother-in-law ever apologized to a daughter-in-law? Don't push your luck!"

"Fine then, I'm going to book my abortion." Summer turned to leave.

Carlson glared fiercely at Zelda again. "Summer, don't be so emotional. Your mother-in-law made a mistake and should apologize, but she is your elder after all. Apologizing in front of the servants isn't necessary, right? I'll make sure she compensates you well in the future."
