Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 232

At this moment, the hallway was bustling with patients' aides and family members.

Everyone staying here was either a wealthy businessperson or a high-ranking official.

Silas and Xavier were highly recognizable figures. If word got out, the fallout would be significant.

Xavier was always one to calculate the pros and cons. This was not the time or place to keep arguing.

He instructed the nurse to arrange a new room and carried Lily away.

Before leaving, he shot Summer a warning glare.

As Silas wheeled Summer back to her room, she expressed her gratitude. “Mr. Sinclair, thank you for earlier.”

“Don't mention it. Xavier is a sworn rival of the Sinclair family, and you are Leo's mother. Both professionally and personally, I couldn't just stand by.”

“But saying those things... won't it cause trouble for you?”

“No, I don't have a girlfriend.”

Summer nodded.

“No boyfriend either. Just a single guy.”

“...Oh,” Summer replied.

Silas brought her safely into the room. “Do you need me to introduce some bodyguards to you? That little mistress of Xavier's was looking at you with pure malice. She wants you dead.”

If Summer died, it would save them a lot of trouble.

Xavier wouldn't have to split his fortune with her.

Lily wouldn't be branded a mistress; her marriage to Xavier would be completely legitimate.

Leo Sterling would remain under the Sterling family's control.

Summer didn't dare gamble on the humanity of the ultra-rich. When someone had enough wealth, the cost of committing a crime dropped drastically for them.

After all, money talked.

With enough money, a human life meant nothing.

There were plenty of people willing to do their dirty work, and plenty more willing to take the fall.

Even if Silas hadn't mentioned it, she was planning to hire security.

Summer took the opportunity to ask, “Yes, I do. Do you have any recommendations, Mr. Sinclair?”
