Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 488

So, Miles did a little meddling of his own, giving Lilith a taste of her own medicine.

Lydia said anxiously, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about your divorce from Xavier. How much of the assets did Xavier give you?"

Lilith gritted her teeth. "Not a single penny. I walked away with nothing."

"What!!!" Lydia's voice turned incredibly shrill.

After scheming for so many years, only to end up with nothing—anyone would be unwilling to accept it.

"No, no," Lydia waved her hands, saying thoughtfully, "You can't just get divorced like this! Even if you have to divorce, you must take a massive bite out of Xavier's flesh first."

Lilith calmed down and said, "There's still a one-month cooling-off period."

Lydia gripped Lilith's hands tightly. "Then during this month, you have to make Xavier change his mind about you."

While Lydia and her daughter were scheming how to win Xavier back, Bennett was mulling over Scarlett's situation.

Summer said Scarlett had agreed to come back for a visit, but whether she would be willing to stay depended on her conversation with Bennett.

The appointment was set for tomorrow afternoon.

The next afternoon.

After Lilith and Lydia finished their full-body spa treatments, they walked out of the beauty salon and received an anonymous message.

The message was a photo.

Bennett and Scarlett.

The angle of the photo was cleverly taken, making it look like the two of them were kissing.

Following that was a string of address details.

Lydia dragged Lilith along and charged over to catch them in the act.

Summer and Miles were sitting by the window drinking tea. From their seats, they had a perfect view of Bennett and Scarlett's private room across the way.

Lydia kicked open the private room door in a rage. Lilith couldn't hold her back even if she tried.

"You bitch!" Lydia grabbed the tea on the table and threw it at Scarlett.

Bennett was quick-witted and raised his hand to block it. The hot tea splashed all over his hand, instantly turning a large patch of it red.

He looked at Scarlett in lingering fear. "Are you okay?"

Scarlett cried, "Mr. Sutton, thank you for saving me, but I'm afraid I cannot agree to your request."
