Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 468

The guests were thinking the exact same thing. Inheritance battles and fortune grabbing within wealthy families were notoriously cutthroat.

While maybe not as bloody as ancient royalty fighting for the throne, it wasn't far off.

Underhanded tactics, scheming, and betrayals were part of the daily routine.

The crowd’s gaze shifted back to Summer, their eyes full of intrigue.

This drama was getting better by the minute. Rich family scandals never disappointed.

Summer scoffed. "When did I ever say those babies weren't Xavier's? All I pointed out was that they don't look like him. If you're so riddled with guilt that you outed yourself, how is that my fault?"

Lilith shrieked, "That was clearly what you were implying!"

Summer replied coolly, "Considering your sons share zero resemblance with Xavier, and I happen to know his medical history, my suspicion is perfectly logical. Besides..."

Summer’s tone sharpened. "I kept that suspicion to myself. I didn't say a word about them not being his until you forced the issue, threatening me with lawyer's letters and the police."

"As for whether your sons are biologically his, it’s a very simple problem to solve. One paternity test will clear everything up."

By then, the police had successfully verified Summer's medical report.

Xavier’s medical history and consultation records were securely archived at the hospital, available for immediate confirmation.

Summer hadn't lied, nor had she committed defamation.

Security footage confirmed she never explicitly stated the twins were illegitimate.

As for who the real father of Lilith's children was, that was outside police jurisdiction.

The authorities bagged the swapped gift box to run fingerprint analysis.

Everyone who had touched the box provided their prints.

Once the results were processed, identifying the culprit would be a simple match.

The banquet came to an abrupt, awkward halt.

The guests had thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, but the Sterling family looked absolutely murderous.

Summer had hidden Xavier’s condition from them for seven agonizing years, clearly waiting for this exact moment to strike.
