Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 377

Summer replied casually, "I brought Leo in for his check-up and ran into Mr. Rhodes, so we decided to tag along to see Hunter. After all, he is my nephew."

Raphael's assistant stepped forward to present their gifts.

Raphael spoke smoothly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sterling. I have already contacted the best reconstructive surgeons abroad. I guarantee the young man won't be left with a single scar."

While the adults were distracted discussing Hunter's treatment plans,

Archie deliberately gagged at the sight of Hunter's blistered face. "Hunter, you better get treated soon. You look incredibly ugly like this. I think I'm going to throw up my lunch."

Hunter's eyes filled with venom. His blistered lips were so swollen that he could barely open his mouth, making his words sound muffled.

Still, it was painfully clear he was cursing Archie. "You fat pig!"

Leo replied coolly, "Archie might be chubby, but he's cute. That's infinitely better than being an ugly monster like you."

Furious, Hunter looked ready to lunge out of bed and throttle Leo. "Leo Sterling, you cripple, you have no right to talk to me like that! My face can be fixed, but your broken legs will never heal for the rest of your life!"

Unfazed, Leo remained completely stoic. "Who is Leo Sterling? My name is Leo Vance."

Besides, during his check-up earlier, the doctor had explicitly told him that as long as he stuck to his physical therapy, his legs would recover perfectly.

But he had no intention of arguing with Hunter about it.

Good news was best kept to oneself; there was no need to broadcast it to the world.

He was going to work hard in secret and shock everyone when the time came!

On the other side of the room, Lilith seized the perfect moment to bring up the project.

Raphael feigned an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling. I promised Archie I'd grant him one birthday wish. And his wish was for me to work with Leo's dad."

But Xavier was Leo's dad!

His actual, biological father!

Things having reached this point, Xavier wasn't about to jump up and claim the title. That would only be slapping his own face, making him the butt of the joke and cheapening his dignity.
