Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 233

“Who?”

“Phoebe Quinn!”

After Xavier fired her, Phoebe hadn't left immediately. Processing her paperwork and packing her things took time.

Then a massive thunderstorm hit, stranding her at the estate for a little while longer.

Believing Summer was the reason for her termination, she harbored a deep grudge and intentionally tampered with the red wine.

She had injected raw green bean juice into the bottle.

Uncooked green beans were highly toxic, let alone raw juice!

“Where is she?” Xavier asked.

“She left with her luggage first thing this morning,” Charles answered truthfully.

“Send someone to find her, and call the police!” Xavier ordered.

Lily took a small bite of her fruit, her lowered eyelashes hiding a fleeting gleam of malice.

Phoebe Quinn, huh...

***

Footsteps echoed through the corridor.

In the early hours of the morning, the hospital ward lacked its daytime bustle, making the nurse's approaching steps sound exceptionally loud.

The door to Summer's room swung open. A small nightlight cast a dim glow, illuminating the figure sleeping soundly beneath the blankets.

The sound of the door didn't disturb the sleeper.

The nurse silently approached with a medical tray. Just as she reached the bedside, everything changed.

The nurse's eyes narrowed with vicious intent. Snatching a pair of medical scissors from the tray, she lunged at the figure on the bed.

In a flash, the person on the bed moved. The blanket was thrown back, revealing a man!

The fake nurse's eyes went wide with terror. Had she walked into the wrong room?

No, that wasn't it.

The man was fully dressed in street clothes. He had been waiting for her, fully expecting an attack.

He was there specifically for her.

But how was that possible?!
