Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 379

Xavier wielded absolute power. To him, Tiffany was nothing more than an ant he could crush under his heel at will.

She was terrified Xavier would use his influence to turn the tables, framing her and throwing her in prison instead.

Her entire life would be utterly ruined.

The only person she knew capable of going toe-to-toe with Xavier was Summer.

Summer had the backing of Silas Sinclair, whose fortune, status, and authority easily rivaled Xavier's.

As long as she had Summer's protection, she would survive this.

If she had known it would come to this, she never would have been greedy enough to accept that extra three million dollars.

But at the time, she hadn't really been given a choice.

On the day of Archie's birthday, Lilith had approached her with a friendly smile, handing over two million dollars to ensure Summer's face was destroyed.

That boiling bowl of fish stew was originally meant for Summer.

But right after Lilith walked away, Raphael stepped out of the shadows. He had overheard everything and presented Tiffany with two options.

Option one: He calls the cops. He would claim he lost a highly expensive watch and 'found' it on Tiffany.

Option two: He gives her three million dollars. In exchange, the scalding stew gets thrown in Lilith's face instead, and he would pull the strings to make it look like a tragic accident.

That way, she would avoid prison and pocket an extra three million.

Combined with Lilith's initial two million, she would walk away with five million dollars in total.

Seduced by the payout, Tiffany agreed.

However, during the execution, the man who bumped into her shoved her much too violently. Her aim faltered, and Xavier's lightning-fast reflexes shielded Lilith from the blow entirely.

Lilith had escaped unharmed, but Tiffany was not so lucky.

She had foolishly believed that if she ran fast enough, she'd be safe.

To secure her safety, she even sent Lilith a snippet of the secret recording she had taken of their initial transaction.

If Lilith dared to touch her, Tiffany would leak it and destroy the woman's reputation.

Yet against all odds, she was still snatched up.

Lilith was so utterly ruthless that she was willing to murder her to keep her quiet.
