Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 476

Who else could it be but Paige Brooks?

Earlier that day, Xavier had personally handed Paige the gift box Summer had given him.

Later, he had sent Paige to retrieve it. Aside from Paige, who else could have discreetly swapped the contents?

Paige shifted uncomfortably under his piercing glare, answering nervously, "Mr. Sterling, I just thought I should let your wife know."

Xavier continued to stare at her blankly. "Are you her lapdog?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sterling," Paige quickly bowed her head in apology.

Thinking of everything Paige had done for her, Lilith knew she had to speak up, even though she was currently drowning in her own mess.

If she lost her inside contact, maneuvering through the Sterling household would become incredibly difficult.

Lilith gently tugged on his sleeve. "Xavier, Paige was just worried about you. Let's go back first. Your wounds need to be treated."

After being there all this time, Lilith had finally noticed that his cuts needed medical attention.

She claimed to care about him, but she wasn't even half as attentive as Summer.

The moment Summer arrived at the station, she immediately began cleaning Silas's injuries.

"Go back by yourself. I'm not going home tonight." Xavier yanked his arm free.

"Xavier, please," Lilith begged, grabbing his hand again. Tears pooled perfectly in her eyes, threatening to spill over in a flawless display of vulnerability.

Right at that moment, Zelda Sterling stormed in.

Xavier hadn't notified Lilith, nor had he informed his family, but the Sterlings had obviously gotten word.

Xander and Arthur Sterling were busy dealing with a corporate emergency, so Zelda had come alone.

Seeing Lilith tearfully clinging to Xavier, Zelda lunged forward, ripped Lilith's hand away, and pointed a furious finger right in her face. "You shameless bitch! If you don't care about your dignity, my son does! Crying and pawing at him in a police station... what a total disgrace!"

"Mom," Lilith cried out.

"Don't call me Mom! I wouldn't dare claim a tramp like you."

If they weren't in a police station, she would have slapped Lilith across the face right then and there.

Every time she looked at this cheating slut, she wanted to hit her!

Just the sight of Lilith disgusted her!

Lilith looked at Xavier, sobbing pathetically. "Xavier, let's go home, please? Didn't you promise you'd never betray me? You promised to love me forever. We haven't even been married that long, and you've already stopped loving me?"

"Lilith Sutton!" Zelda's fists clenched so tightly her knuckles popped. "If you wail at my son one more time, I will rip your mouth off!"

Zelda shot her bodyguards a deadly look. "Get her out of here. Stop letting her embarrass us in public!"
