Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 335

Vivian West stared at him coldly, her eyes blazing with undisguised disgust. "Clear-headed yet? Take a good look at who I am!"

Staring into Vivian's eyes, Miles Sutton's grip slowly loosened. "You're Xenia Young."

The Xenia Young he had personally abandoned.

The woman whose future he had single-handedly destroyed.

Vivian had bodyguards escorting her, but Miles still followed closely in his car, tailing them until she was safely back at her apartment.

Only then did he drive Summer Vance home.

The interior of the car was dead silent. Summer leaned against the passenger window, watching the streetlights flash by in a blur.

"Summer, please tell me who's helping Xenia behind the scenes. I'm terrified she'll risk everything just for revenge."

"I don't know," Summer replied.

"Summer," Miles offered a bitter, lonely smile. "I know I wronged Xenia. I'm the one who should be rotting in a cell. She's already been hurt once; I don't want her destroying her own life just to get back at me. I genuinely want to make amends. Once I finish what needs to be done, I promise I won't cling to her. I'll go exactly where I belong."

Summer turned to look at him. In the flickering shadows, Miles's profile looked resolute and unwavering.

"Summer, just trust me this once, okay?"

In that moment, Summer knew he was telling the truth. His agony, his pleas, and his remorse were completely genuine.

But her heart remained entirely unmoved.

After all, this was Xenia's private business. She couldn't just run her mouth, and besides, Xenia didn't want Miles to know anything anyway.

The next day, Summer returned to the Sutton Manor.

The moment she stepped through the door, a soccer ball flew straight at her head. Thankfully, her reflexes were sharp, and she dodged it with ease.

Hunter Sutton glared at her with pure venom. "Bad woman! Who let you into my house? Get the hell out!"

A maid cleaning nearby hurriedly interjected, "Young Master, this is Summer. She's family."

"She's not family! She's a bad woman who stole my dad!" After shouting, Hunter spat at Summer and turned to run.

Summer grabbed him by the collar in a flash, snatched the feather duster from the maid's hand, and delivered a sharp smack right across his backside.

"Waaah!"

Hunter wailed in pain.

"You bad woman! You dared to hit me! I'm going to kill you!" He thrashed around, swinging his little fists, trying to land a hit on her.

Smack! The feather duster came down a second time.
