Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 548

Lilith stepped back in disgust. "You ruined my yacht, you bastard!"

"Lilith!"

Paige's voice was mangled, a raspy, guttural wheeze. "You're going to burn in hell for this!"

"Am I?" Lilith smiled sweetly. "Let's see who rots first. Toss him overboard. Let the fish have him!"

With a heavy splash, Paige's body was hurled into the dark abyss of the ocean, disappearing completely beneath the churning waves.

Her smile never wavered; she watched the entire execution with a profoundly delightful sense of satisfaction.

To her, Paige was nothing more than a stray dog.

And the life of a dog meant absolutely nothing—especially one that had bitten its master.

A disloyal mutt deserved a watery grave.

Meanwhile, Miles received a frantic phone call and turned to Summer. "Summer, they just threw Paige into the sea. Do we order a rescue?"

On the day the photo album was recovered, Summer had spotted Paige in one of the old pictures from St. Jude's Children's Home, standing right by her side.

According to Maeve Vance, on the day Summer was adopted, Paige had been happier than if he had been adopted himself.

He had emptied his pockets of what little allowance he possessed, offering her every last candy he had hoarded away.

As the car drove off, Paige had chased after the vehicle, screaming, "Summer, you have to be happy! Don't forget me!"

But that same Paige had relentlessly aided Lilith, deliberately targeting her, hurting her, and doing everything in his power to destroy her life.

Summer lowered her eyes, remaining completely silent.

Miles nodded. "Understood."

He relayed a curt order into the receiver before hanging up.

Overseas.

Lilith firmly believed that hiring elite mercenaries guaranteed her absolute safety, completely oblivious to the fact that money couldn't buy true loyalty.
