Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 459

Tomorrow was the Sterling family's 100-day banquet.

The moment Summer returned home, the first thing she did was pull out her prize: The Sterility Dossier.

She carefully placed the medical report exposing Xavier's infertility into an exquisite, custom-designed gift box and tied it off with a flawless silk ribbon.

She genuinely hoped Xavier would love his present.

Setting it aside, she pulled out a second gift box containing a pair of stunning gemstone cufflinks. This was her gift for Xander.

Ever since Xander had woken up from his coma, the Sterling family had kept the news entirely under wraps.

They had specifically chosen the 100-day banquet to officially announce his miraculous recovery to the world, seamlessly doubling it as a celebration of his ascension as the new CEO of the Sterling Group.

It was essentially three massive celebrations rolled into one.

Because of this, the banquet was destined to be unprecedented in scale. The Sterlings had invited practically every elite aristocrat and billionaire in Empire City.

Even Summer had received an invitation.

Naturally, the invitation had been personally delivered by Xander.

Xander intended to bring Leo to the gala to officially introduce the boy to high society as his son.

There was no way Summer was going to let Leo walk into a shark tank like that alone.

With so many chaotic elements at play, if anything happened to him, she would never forgive herself.

She had to be there to watch over him personally.

Besides, she had a very special gift to hand-deliver to her ex-husband.

After finalizing the gifts, Summer pulled a custom-tailored evening gown from her closet.

After inspecting it flawlessly, she messaged her stylist to confirm the appointment time for the next morning.

Then she slipped into the bathroom for a long soak, applied a mask, and completed a full-body skincare routine.

Meanwhile, at the Sutton Estate.

"The Sterlings are going too far! It's my own grandsons' 100-day banquet, and they're forbidding me from attending?! On what grounds?!"

Lydia's voice was sharp, erratic, and ear-piercing.

Lilith subtly stepped back, frowning. "Mom, calm down. Can we just talk normally?"

"How am I not calm?! I'm just speaking loudly, what's the big deal?!" Lydia snapped, acting entirely unhinged.

Ever since her failed medical trip abroad and being locked in a foreign police station, her mental state had severely deteriorated.

She was paranoid, volatile, and exploded at the slightest provocation.
