Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 449

"I want a reward."

The man's voice was deep and magnetic. His lips brushed agonizingly close to her ear, his hot breath sending electrifying jolts straight to her sensitive nerves.

Her ears instantly burned red, and her heart began to race.

Vivian pushed playfully at the clinging man. "We're in the office. Behave."

Julian looked even more wronged, but his actions were ruthlessly dominant. One arm wrapped around her tighter, while his other hand slid under the hem of her skirt.

"Babe, I'm just holding you. What's inappropriate about that? Where did your mind wander off to?"

The man knew exactly how to act sweet and seduce her simultaneously. With a face that could tempt an angel and a body carved like a Greek god, Vivian simply couldn't resist him.

Within moments, the temperature in the office spiked, and a thick, suffocating wave of passion filled every corner of the room.

Xavier left the police station and immediately received a call from the Sterling estate.

Carlson Sterling roared over the line, "Xavier! What the hell is going on? I thought you went abroad for business! Why did you drag that walking disaster along with you?"

He had indeed traveled overseas to secure a partnership, but since Lydia needed facial reconstructive surgery, they had all come together.

How was he supposed to know it would turn into such a spectacular catastrophe?

The police were treating them like suspected spies.

If the charges stuck, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Xavier couldn't leave the country yet; he had to figure out a way to bail them out. The domestic operations of the company would have to be managed by Arthur and Xander.

After hanging up, Xavier headed straight for the hospital.

The entire fiasco started at the hospital. If he could get evidence from them, along with Dr. Joseph's testimony, the two women would likely be released.

The Sterling Group had a local branch, and their corporate lawyer met Xavier at the hospital.

With a legal professional handling the negotiations, Xavier was able to view and secure all the surveillance footage of the incident.
