Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 526

Xavier let out a low, bitter chuckle. "Mom, it's not about Lilith."

"If it's not Lilith, then who else?" Zelda yelled furiously. "Who else could make you lose your mind like this?"

Tears slipped uncontrollably from the corners of Xavier's eyes. "It's... Summer."

"Summer?" Zelda frowned, looking at him in utter confusion.

"What kind of mental breakdown are you having now? Don't tell me you've suddenly realized you're in love with your ex-wife?"

Zelda seriously suspected the alcohol had fried Xavier's brain.

Otherwise, why was he acting so crazy every single day, first over Lilith and now over Summer?

How were they supposed to live like this?

Zelda was beyond livid. She snapped, "What about Summer? Did you piss her off, or did she piss you off? Is she using Leo to threaten you again, demanding your grandfather kick you out of the Sterling Group?"

"Mom, stop talking about Summer like that."

Zelda let out a mocking scoff. "You're actually defending Summer? Did the sun rise in the west today? This is a first. Don't tell me you're having regrets and suddenly see how wonderful she is?"

Even though Xavier was drunk, the look he gave Zelda was completely serious. "Mom, there is a very real chance I got the wrong person."

Zelda didn't quite grasp it for a second. "Wrong person? What person?"

"The one who saved me. The girl who saved me back then probably wasn't Lilith. It was Summer. It was Summer, hahahaha..."

Xavier started laughing like a lunatic, but as he laughed, tears poured relentlessly from his bloodshot eyes.

Zelda stood rooted to the spot, trying to process his words.

After a long pause, she slapped his shoulder hard. "You managed to mistake your own savior for someone else? Are you an idiot? What are your eyes even for? Decoration? Just to look pretty?"

"You're telling me now that you got the wrong person? How many years has it been? Do the math yourself!"

"You were married to Summer for seven years! You lived under the same roof every single day! Were you dead for those seven years? How the hell did you not notice for seven whole years!!!"
