Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 494

Xavier clenched his fists, wanting to lash out.

But catching sight of Leo, he held himself back, his face tight as he exuded a chilling, predatory aura.

"The old man told me to come get you."

Lilith let out an "oh." "I knew it. Why would Xavier come to greet you on his own?"

Summer looked at Lilith like she was out of her mind. "So what does it have to do with you? What are you so thrilled about? Don't tell me you want to be the garbage collector?"

With one sentence, Summer had managed to insult both Xavier and Lilith.

Lilith's face flashed with anger. "Summer, do you know how to speak properly?"

Summer smiled faintly. "I only speak properly to human beings. Did you understand?"

With that, Summer pushed Leo’s wheelchair away.

"Don't go! Apologize!" Lilith tried to block Summer's path.

Remembering Carlson's warning, Xavier grabbed Lilith's wrist and yanked her aside.

Lilith took the opportunity to fall into Xavier's chest, throwing her arms tightly around his waist.

"Xavier, I knew you couldn't let me go."

Summer looked at the embracing pair with a look of pure revulsion. She picked up her pace and wheeled Leo away.

It was as if the two were filthy trash she didn't want to be infected by, running away as fast as possible.

Xavier felt a heavy knot in his chest. Taking a deep breath, he wore a dark expression and shoved Lilith away.

Lilith wrapped her arms around him relentlessly. "I won't let go! Xavier, you can hit me or yell at me if you're mad, but please don't ignore me. I'll go crazy."

Xavier's face turned livid. He gritted his teeth. "Lilith, let go!"

"Xavier, please, don't do this. Let it all out if you're upset. Don't keep it bottled up inside. I'm afraid you'll ruin yourself. Please."

Xavier stared blankly at the bodyguards standing nearby. "Are you just going to stand there watching the show? Pull her off!"

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward. "Sorry, Boss. You didn't give the order, so we didn't know if we should intervene. What if you liked it?"

Xavier gritted his teeth furiously. "Which of your eyes saw me liking this?"

Seeing that Xavier was genuinely enraged, the bodyguards rushed over and pried her off.

Lilith clung desperately to Xavier's clothes, crying and shaking her head. "Xavier, please, don't do this to me. Doing this is worse than killing me. Xavier, please..."

Xavier had drank heavily the night before, and it felt like a delayed hangover was kicking in.

Listening to Lilith's wailing made his head throb violently, the veins on his temples pulsing.

Now, every time he saw Lilith, he was reminded of the humiliating scene at the one-month celebration, where everyone openly mocked him.

The happiness he had felt that day only matched the intensity of the humiliation and the stinging slap to his pride.

No man could stomach being cheated on by the woman he loved—especially multiple times over.
