Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 421

Xander's expression was perfectly calm, as if he had pondered this for a long time.

He spoke in a measured tone. "As you know, I will never have children of my own after the accident. Your son shares my bloodline. It makes far more sense to adopt him than to take in a distant relative."

Xavier: "..."

His brother's logic was technically sound, yet Xavier felt a bizarre, deep-seated discomfort gnawing at him.

He just couldn't put his finger on exactly why it felt so wrong.

Xavier replied hesitantly, "Xander, Summer has full custody of Leo. This isn't my call to make."

"I will discuss it directly with her," Xander said smoothly. "You don't need to get involved."

Carlson had personally tutored Leo during his early years.

The patriarch was immensely proud of the boy's sharp intellect, rapid learning, and exceptional self-discipline.

Furthermore, Leo was undeniably Xavier's biological son, carrying their direct bloodline.

Although Leo had been living with Summer recently and picked up some rebellious habits.

The boy had even dared to help the Sinclair family poach Sterling business.

This displeased Carlson immensely!

But at the end of the day, Leo was still family.

As long as they brought Leo back to the estate and resumed his strict aristocratic tutelage, Carlson was confident he could mold the boy into Xander 2.0.

With both father and adopted son standing as his ultimate masterpieces.

His life's work would be flawlessly complete.

Therefore, Carlson enthusiastically approved of Xander's proposal, praising his older grandson's visionary thinking.

As expected of the heir he personally trained, Xander possessed a strategic worldview far superior to Xavier's.

Seeing Carlson nod in agreement, Xander finalized the matter. "Then the discussion of removing his name is officially closed."

And just like that, the decision was made.

Xavier couldn't voice further objections. His brother simply wanted a son to carry on his legacy.

As the younger brother, how could he possibly deny him that?

Besides, the final say rested entirely with Summer.

Given how deeply Summer despised the Sterling family, she would almost certainly reject the proposal anyway.
