Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 557

According to the Sutton Group's corporate bylaws, any shareholder sentenced to prison had to transfer their shares to the other board members at an agreed-upon price.

Since Bennett hated Summer, there was no way he was selling his equity to her.

Instead, he transferred his shares to Dexter Whitmore.

As for the millions of dollars from the sale, he funneled every single penny to Scarlett Pierce, leaving absolutely nothing for himself.

Faced with a thirty-year sentence, he probably knew he was never walking out of that prison alive.

Overnight, Scarlett became wildly wealthy—a bona fide multimillionaire.

However, she immediately wired the entire sum straight into Summer's account.

Summer looked at Scarlett in surprise, amazed that she could part with such a massive fortune so easily.

Summer chuckled. "Doesn't it hurt giving all that up?"

Scarlett dramatically clutched her chest. "Of course it hurts! Who doesn't love money? But you gave me the ultimate revenge. I believe in earning my wealth the right way. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night keeping his dirty money."

Summer kept half of the funds and wired the rest back to Scarlett. "Consider it your dividend. A fifty-fifty split."

Staring at the long string of zeros in her bank app, Scarlett was thrilled and gladly accepted the cut.

"Director Vance," Scarlett smiled, "didn't you say I had the look and the acting chops to be a star? Is your agency still signing talent?"

Summer looked at her, baffled. "You're incredibly rich now. Why go through the grueling grind of acting when you could just relax and enjoy your life? The entertainment industry is brutal."

Scarlett smiled and shook her head. "Exactly because I have a massive nest egg now. I don't have to stress about putting food on the table, so I want to experience something entirely different with my life."

Summer agreed to pull some strings and set her up with a top-tier agent.

Back in Summer's office.

Dexter Whitmore slid a signed equity transfer agreement across her desk with a wide grin. "Director Vance, please review this."

Summer picked up the contract. "Don't worry, Mr. Whitmore. You'll be well compensated for your trouble."

Dexter chuckled. "You're too kind. It's an honor to be of service."

Miles Sutton still possessed enough blackmail material on Dexter to ruin him completely.

Playing along was his only option. By cooperating, he not only secured a comfortable retirement but also positioned himself to make a killing alongside Summer. It was a massive win for him.

Compared to Bennett Sutton, who would spend the rest of his miserable life rotting in a cell, Dexter knew he had it good.
