Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 235

“Why is that plastic surgery freak good enough, but I'm not? Why does she get to be Mrs. Sterling while I'm just a maid?!”

“That's Mr. Sterling! Summer isn't worthy of him!”

Phoebe was drowning in a blinding, obsessive jealousy!

Summer fell completely silent when she read the interrogation transcript.

No wonder every time she returned to the estate, Phoebe was dressed provocatively, wearing a full face of makeup, always finding excuses to hover around Xavier, and constantly causing trouble for Summer.

So that was her motive all along.

The police didn't just take Phoebe's word for it. They continued investigating while building a case.

However, Phoebe adamantly denied having an accomplice, and the authorities found no further proof.

Ultimately, Phoebe Quinn was sentenced to 20 years in prison for attempted murder.

Tessa Thorne picked Summer up on the day she was discharged.

When they got home, Tessa stopped her at the door, brought out a Blessed Sage Bundle, and brushed it over her. “This is to sweep away the bad luck and ensure your safety and success.”

“Where did you get the sage bundle?” Summer asked.

Tessa's fiancé, Harvey Rhodes, arrived carrying bags of groceries and chuckled. “She went all the way to a temple to get it.”

Tessa explained, “This sage has absorbed the monks' daily chanting and the temple's incense. It's much better for warding off bad vibes.”

The three of them went inside. Harvey started cooking in the kitchen while Summer and Tessa watched a reality show in the living room.

After dinner, Tessa and Harvey left for a movie date.

Summer stayed home to review the project files.

The medical project co-managed by Wesley Whitmore and Harrison Banks was officially launching tomorrow.

Gavin Loomis had sent her the documents in advance. Summer had already read through them twice at the hospital, making notes that were nearly as extensive as the files themselves.
