Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 455

Empire City.

The moment Xavier stepped off the plane, he headed straight to the Sterling Group, while Lilith made her way to the Sutton Group.

Lydia had screwed her over spectacularly this time. Lilith had zero energy left to deal with the older woman, leaving Lydia to head back to the Sutton estate alone.

When Lydia arrived at the house, she coincidentally bumped into Scarlett Pierce pushing Bennett Sutton toward the door.

In just a few days, Scarlett looked even more radiant and nourished.

She was wearing the same uniform as the rest of the estate staff, but her natural beauty made her stand out effortlessly.

Not to mention, she was much younger than Lydia. With a touch of flair, Scarlett had tucked a fresh flower into the pocket of her uniform.

It gave her an incredibly distinctive charm.

Lydia was furious. She wanted nothing more than to claw Scarlett's pretty face to shreds, but remembering her current precarious situation, she forced herself to swallow her rage.

Taking a deep breath, she walked up to them. "Bennett, where are you going? Let me push your wheelchair."

Bennett's expression was glacial. "To the office. To clean up the catastrophic mess you created."

He had only just learned about the absolute disaster that had unfolded.

When Lydia originally left for the country abroad to seek medical treatment, Scarlett had expertly manipulated Bennett. "Mrs. Sutton really only thinks about herself. She didn't even bother arranging proper care for you before leaving, Mr. Sutton."

"Sir, I know a highly renowned holistic healer. His methods are incredible. Why don't I take you to see him? Who knows, maybe he can finally cure your condition."

The holistic healer Scarlett mentioned was genuinely famous and lived on a secluded island.

The cell service on the island was practically nonexistent.

While there, the two of them sought treatment, and in their free time, they strolled in the ocean breeze, read books beneath palm trees, drank tea, played chess, gardened, cooked together, and talked about their dreams and philosophies on life.

In a very short span of time, Scarlett had become Bennett's closest confidante.

It wasn't until they returned to Empire City that they found out about the storm raging on the internet.

Lydia clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white. "Bennett, I didn't do it on purpose! Summer set us up! You don't understand, Summer was there too!"

"Stop dragging Summer into every single thing you mess up. The security footage of you threatening the hospital staff and acting like a lunatic has already been leaked to the press."
