Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 330

Given Miles' ruthless and immaculate way of handling things, there was no way he would have accidentally left a trail for Julian to find.

The only reason Julian discovered the truth was because Miles deliberately laid the breadcrumbs for him.

Miles had calculated that provoking Julian would make the spoiled heir retaliate against him. Instead, Julian aimed his vengeance directly at Summer.

Fortunately, Miles had already arranged heavy security for her and given her a heads-up beforehand.

She could have walked away completely unscathed, but she chose to play along, intentionally allowing herself to be abducted. She knew that getting injured was the only way to guarantee a severe prison sentence for her attacker.

Besides, if someone targeted her once, they'd do it again. There was no sense in constantly watching her back. It was far cleaner to use the opportunity to lock Julian away for good.

She had meticulously calculated the risks. Her guards would never let her face lethal danger; at worst, she'd take a superficial injury before being rescued.

The very next day was the award ceremony, where she planned to unveil her identity as Pax. Scientific talents of her caliber were treated as national treasures.

Her name would no longer be buried in obscurity.

She knew Julian was attending to collect an award, and she wanted him to plummet from his highest peak straight into the dirt.

She wanted him standing on that stage, in front of thousands of live viewers, only to be dragged away by the police in handcuffs.

The charge: hiring a hitman to kidnap and murder the scientific prodigy, Pax.

Deep down, she and Miles were cut from the exact same ruthless cloth.

The only difference was that she still had a bottom line.

Miles' only bottom line was his sister.

What Summer hadn't known during her kidnapping was that Miles had actually joined forces with Yates Hawthorne.

The award-winning project originally belonged to Yates and his team. Once it was completed, Yates intentionally leaked the information to Julian, hinting that the project was guaranteed to win a massive industry award.

Julian despised Yates and couldn't stand seeing him succeed.

Using his executive authority, Julian fired Yates, seized the project as his own, and purged all of Yates' core team members from the project roster.

When the project actually won the award, their names were nowhere to be found.

One of Yates' trusted subordinates had recently been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. Knowing he couldn't be cured, he had hoped to rely on the project's success to leave a substantial nest egg for his wife and child.

When Julian stole the project, the subordinate intentionally provoked him. Julian beat him mercilessly on the spot, leaving him in a vegetative state. To make matters worse, the company fired him immediately, refusing to pay a single cent in compensation.

Yates had promised his subordinate that he would take care of his family and child.

Thus, Julian stealing the project and beating a man into a coma was the primary trap Miles had orchestrated.

When Summer was dragged into the underground clinic, she only suffered a single whip strike before the police stormed in to rescue her.

Miles had been so terrified his eyes were bloodshot. He had slapped himself repeatedly in sheer panic, his hands trembling violently as he held her.
