Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 460

Hearing Bennett say he was sending her to a psychiatric ward, Lydia screamed in pure fury, "Bennett Sutton, don't you dare! I'm not going! I am not sick!"

When the family doctor finally arrived, he administered a heavy sedative. Lydia quickly lost consciousness and was carried upstairs by the staff.

Bennett turned to Lilith. "Lilith, about what I said regarding a psychiatric evaluation for your mother—what's your take?"

Lilith shot a brief glance at Scarlett before answering coldly. "I will handle the arrangements."

Lilith wasn't blind. She knew her mother's mental state was dangerously unhinged; seeing a psychiatrist was necessary.

If she needed treatment, she would get treatment.

But there was zero chance she was going to trust Bennett with this. She would personally select the hospital and the doctor.

The next morning, the doorbell rang. It was Xander's assistant, delivering a custom suit, a jeweled brooch, and matching cufflinks for Leo.

The entire ensemble was staggeringly expensive.

Right on cue, Summer's booked stylist arrived.

The stylist prepped Leo's hair first, then turned her full attention to Summer. Before even touching a makeup brush, she spent an entire hour doing a luxury facial treatment.

Only when Summer's skin was absolutely flawless did the styling and makeup begin.

At the estate hosting the 100-day banquet.

A massive red carpet had been rolled out, lined with imported flowers. The media had surrounded the venue three layers deep.

The moment Summer and Leo stepped out of their car, a shockwave rippled through the crowd.

Not for any scandalous reason, but simply because the two of them looked utterly breathtaking.

Even though Leo was in a wheelchair, dressed in his perfectly tailored miniature suit, he looked incredibly handsome and poised. In fact, the wheelchair seemed to add a unique, dignified aura to his presence.

Summer's makeup was immaculate yet effortless. Draped in a striking crimson evening gown, her luminous skin and stunning beauty left everyone speechless.

But the real reason the crowd erupted was because Xander Sterling personally walked down the red carpet to receive them.

After months of agonizing physical therapy, Xander was finally able to walk normally, leaving the wheelchair behind.

Under his therapist's strict daily regimen, his physique had regained its strength. Though still lean, he looked worlds healthier than when he first woke up.

Dressed in a bespoke black suit, he exuded an air of elegant, untouchable aristocracy. Because he had been confined indoors in a coma for nearly eight years, his skin was pale and completely unaged.

Even though he was thirty-three, he still looked like he was in his absolute prime at twenty-six.
