Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 464

So, who did the twins take after?

Could they possibly resemble Lydia and Bennett?

Speak of the devil.

Scarlett Pierce wheeled Bennett Sutton toward them. "Summer, stop this nonsense. You can't just make wild accusations. Do you have any idea how much distress you're causing?"

"Besides, the babies are still so young; their features change every day. Maybe tomorrow the resemblance will be clear. Now, apologize to Lilith and Xavier!"

Zelda looked at Bennett, then back at the twins, her blood running cold.

The babies didn't look like Bennett either!!!

That only left Lydia. God forbid, did these children take after that deranged lunatic?!

The sheer horror of it!

Just the thought alone made Zelda want to scream in frustration.

But on second thought, Bennett had a point. Babies changed daily. It was impossible to say for sure right now.

More importantly, the city's most elite figures were present. This mess had to be contained immediately, or the Sterling family’s reputation would be dragged through the mud.

Measuring her words carefully, Zelda spoke up. "Summer, you must have had too much to drink. You're spouting absolute nonsense."

She raised a hand, signaling a passing waiter. "Ms. Vance is intoxicated. Please escort her to a lounge to rest."

The waiter stepped forward. "Right this way, Ms. Vance."

Summer gently swirled the liquid in her crystal glass. "This is plain water, Zelda. Not a drop of alcohol. I haven't had a single drink tonight, so I’d love to know how you came to the conclusion that I'm drunk."

The crowd gasped.

Zelda’s face tightened. She felt she had graciously offered Summer an out by writing off the accusations as drunken rambling.

Instead, Summer had thrown the olive branch right back in her face.

Zelda had to protect the Sterling family's dignity.

If she backed down now, people would think the Sterlings were easy targets, and anyone could spit rumors at them without consequence.

"Since you claim to be sober, Ms. Vance, your baseless slander against my grandsons and the damage to their reputation will not go unanswered. The Sterling family’s legal team will be sending you a formal notice."
