Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 542

Once he passed out, Leila finally stood up with a look of absolute disgust. Holding the bottle of essential oil, she walked out of the room.

Summer walked up to her. "Mom."

Leila laughed. "Who knew I actually had a knack for acting?"

For these specific scenes, Leila had specifically taken acting lessons over at Starlight Media.

"I think my performance just now was stellar. I could debut in Hollywood right now."

Summer smiled. "Sure. If you enjoy it, I'll fund a movie for you to star in."

Leila laughed, "Deal. I'll give it my all and make you some big money."

An attendant walked in, cleaning up everything Leila had touched and pulling the acupuncture needles from Bennett's body.

The only reason he hadn't been able to move was that those needles had temporarily paralyzed him.

Afterward, the attendant swapped the incense in the room. A few minutes later, Bennett jolted awake, instantly greeted by the sharp stench of urine.

Then his expression twisted in horror!

Was that all just a dream?

If it was a dream, how could it feel so terrifyingly real?

Scarlett walked in from outside, catching the scent. "Sir, let me help you change your clothes."

Bennett wildly grabbed Scarlett's hand. "Was there someone in here just now?"

"No. The masseur saw you sleeping soundly and stepped out. Did you have another nightmare?"

Wetting his pants from a nightmare was the ultimate destruction of Bennett's masculine pride.

He didn't say a word, and Scarlett didn't pry, silently helping him into fresh clothes.

Though internally she was utterly repulsed, her movements remained perfectly gentle. That was just raw professional dedication.

After that terrifying ordeal, it was as if Bennett's very life force had been drained away.

He visibly withered, rapidly decaying like a dying plant. He instantly aged from sixty to eighty in the blink of an eye.
