Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 300

Seeing him walk in, Xavier casually asked, “Did you collect the debt?”

Hearing this, Lily nearly broke character.

The thought of her brother brutally punishing that bitch Summer sent a thrill of dark satisfaction through her heart.

But that joy lasted exactly one second before she heard Miles say, “No.”

No?

Hidden beneath the blankets, Lily clenched her fists in sheer fury. A flash of pure rage crossed her eyes as she screamed in her head: *Useless! Useless! Absolutely useless!!!*

Xavier raised an eyebrow. “No?”

Miles frowned. “Silas Sinclair interfered halfway through.”

“No wonder you looked so grim when you walked in,” Xavier noted. “Do you need my help?”

Miles rejected the offer. “No. Just stay here and take good care of Lily. Besides, you have a massive mess at your company to clean up. Let me handle this. Silas can't stay glued to her side twenty-four hours a day.”

Carlson's condition finally stabilized, and Arthur and Zelda feared stressing him further.

They only told him that Xavier and Summer had secretly divorced a long time ago. They completely omitted the fact that Xavier had given Summer custody of Leo, or that she had already transferred his residency and changed his last name.

Furthermore, they broke the news of Lily's pregnancy.

This time, the Sterlings were much smarter. They brought in their own trusted medical team to examine Lily, ensuring Xavier couldn't pull another fast one on them.

Upon confirming that Lily was indeed pregnant—and expecting twins—the Sterling family ultimately decided to turn a blind eye for the sake of the babies and drop their retaliation against her.

However, they still vehemently refused to publicly acknowledge Lily as the Sterling family's daughter-in-law.

Their plan was simple: wait for Lily to give birth, take the children, and force the two of them to divorce.

The States.

The moment the plane landed, a driver picked Summer up and took her straight to the manor.

Leila was in fantastic spirits.

The vegetables she had planted—garlic sprouts, lettuce, spinach, snow peas—were thriving, all thanks to Maeve Vance's remote coaching via video calls.

“Summer, you're here!” Leila smiled, holding a basket brimming with freshly picked greens for tonight's dinner.

Summer had flown overseas specifically to take a DNA test.

The facility had been arranged by Miles, and he had personally selected the medical staff.

Doing this abroad completely bypassed Xavier's surveillance network, ensuring they didn't tip him off.

Furthermore, Miles had spent years working overseas. The headquarters of Sutton Heights Capital was located in the States, meaning his connections here were actually stronger and more entrenched than back home.

Looking at the fresh vegetables, Summer immediately planned the dinner menu.
