Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 256

Summer wasn't wearing her sunglasses, but she had put on a mask when leaving the room. She looked at Xavier coldly. "Mr. Sterling, you need a face to be granted honor."

The implication was clear: Did Mr. Sterling even have any shame left?

This was the first time Xavier had been rejected so humiliatingly.

Xavier chuckled softly. "Does Ms. Pax think Sterling Group cannot survive without your patent?"

The only reason he had extended the invitation repeatedly was out of consideration for their seven years of partnership.

Sterling Group didn't absolutely need Pax.

A hint of amusement flickered in Summer's cold green eyes, like an eerie flame. "Sterling Group won't survive."

Xavier had bullied and deceived her, indulged his mistress in causing her father's death, and now dared to take Maeve away. This had crossed her absolute bottom line.

Was he not just relying on his status as the Richest Man in Empire City, flaunting his wealth and power?

Then she would tear down Sterling Group and bankrupt him.

When that time came, she'd love to see if that mistress would still be willing to stick by his side.

She wanted him to lose absolutely everything!

If it were just up to her before, it might have been impossible.

But now that Vivian was back, and with Silas on board...

Getting revenge on Xavier wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

As long as there was even a shred of hope, she would gamble everything against Xavier.

When Summer pushed open the door to the private room, Xavier caught sight of Silas and Vivian inside.

Xavier frowned.

Although the investigation into Vivian hadn't yielded results yet, he had a strong premonition that Vivian was Xenia!

Pax was close to Xenia, and Xenia was close to Summer.

A friend of a friend is a friend.

So Pax had chosen Sterling Group back then because of Summer?

No wonder Pax had told him during their first meeting that the person he needed to thank wasn't her.

Summer had known Pax all along!

But Summer had kept it a secret from him this whole time!

Xavier's face darkened drastically. He even began to suspect that what Summer had said was true.

She didn't actually love him as much as he thought. She had only married him for his status, position, and family wealth.

She just wanted her son to be born into unimaginable privilege.
