Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 492

Taking the initiative, Leo waved his hand. "Goodbye, Uncle."

Xavier wanted to say something else, but Lilith suddenly appeared. "Xavier, what are you doing at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Summer checked the time on her watch. Their appointment was coming up, so she pushed Leo's wheelchair and walked away briskly.

Xavier tried to follow, but his path was blocked by Lilith.

For the past few days, Lilith had practically lived at the beauty salon, thoroughly revamping herself from head to toe.

Before coming out today, she even got herself fully styled. She looked incredibly stunning, with skin as smooth as porcelain, looking as beautiful as a fairy.

With one hand casually shoved into his pocket, Xavier stared at her with deep, dark eyes.

Lilith clearly came prepared. He didn't believe for a second that this was a chance encounter.

"Who leaked my whereabouts to you?"

Paige Brooks had already been suspended by him.

At the one-month celebration, Paige was the one who swapped the gift Summer sent.

Since his own assistant was taking orders from Lilith, he had suspended Paige from her duties.

"Xavier, do you suspect I'm tracking you?" Lilith looked at him, acting hurt.

Xavier suddenly understood. Aside from someone on the inside leaking his whereabouts, she could also just have him followed.

Xavier turned and took large strides away, while Lilith jogged to keep up.

"Xavier,"

As much as Xavier loved Lilith before, he hated her just as much now.

He issued a cold command, "Stop her. Don't let her follow me."

Xavier's bodyguards had also been replaced. His previous bodyguards were Dante Brooks and Derek Brooks, and they were on very good terms with Lilith as well.

After all, they all came from the same orphanage.

Upon receiving their orders, the bodyguards stepped forward, but Lilith had brought her own bodyguards today.

In the end, she managed to catch up to Xavier in the parking lot.

She pulled open the passenger door of Xavier's car and plopped right in.

Xavier's expression was ruthless, his aura freezing cold. When he spoke, his voice was practically laced with ice. "What exactly do you want?"

"Xavier," Lilith pulled a necklace out of her bag.

At the sight of the necklace, Xavier's pupils contracted slightly, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past.

Autumn at St. Jude's Children's Home was full of vibrant colors.

After the little girl finished her homework, she sneaked him out to the mountain behind the orphanage to gather the autumn harvest.

He had rested from summer all the way to autumn, and his legs had completely healed.

It was his first time seeing wild chestnuts, wild jujubes, wild walnuts, wild persimmons, and wild kiwis...

He was as excited as a monkey, running all over the mountains, and the two of them gathered a massive bag full of wild fruits and nuts.

The little girl led the way with familiar ease, taking them down to the town at the foot of the mountain to sell their haul.

They made exactly fifty dollars.
