CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 11: I'm Not Interested in Married Men
The nanny heard the noise and greeted them as she came out of the room. Her face, once radiant like a blooming chrysanthemum, withered when she saw the person in Aaron's arms. She hesitated and took a step back, her frightened gaze continuously shifting towards the woman. Their attempt at concealing the truth was so obvious that Elaine felt suspicious for not reacting at all.Raising an eyebrow, she curiously asked, "Am I mistaken, or does my reaction seem unusual to you? Could it be that I am some sort of reincarnated devil?"Aaron glanced down, his gaze meeting the innocent smile on the woman in his arms. His furrowed brow relaxed, revealing a hint of amusement, but it quickly turned into profound melancholy. He sighed deeply and said, "Let me explain this to you later."Elaine felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart. She unexpectedly became nervous. Since he wanted to tell her about this matter, perhaps she finally had a chance to hear him speak about the details in his own words.

Elaine stood by the roadside, feeling uncertain. Just then, a white BMW approached and passed by her, but then abruptly stopped and reversed back in front of her. The car window rolled down, revealing the handsome face of a man."Miss Smith?" he asked.Elaine didn't recognize him. The man stepped out of the car, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He had a tall and straight figure, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. His slightly curly black hair exuded an intellectual aura.He extended his hand, revealing long and slender fingers with neatly trimmed nails, and smiled as he introduced himself, "I am a friend of your cousin's, Calvin Jones."Elaine had no recollection of him but shook his hand out of politeness."It seems that Miss Smith doesn't recognize me," Calvin said with a clean laugh.His straightforward remark made Elaine feel embarrassed. She ran her fingers through her long hair, nodded, and admitted, "I haven't been back to the Smith family for long, and I

Sylvia had just helped Elaine bandage her wound when the sound of hurried footsteps approached. Mason walked in with a stern face, his momentum intimidating. Elaine instinctively stood up from the sofa and stammered, "Cousin...""So, you still acknowledge me as your cousin? If there's a next time, just get out. The Smith family doesn't harbor selfish and self-serving people!"Unexpectedly, Mason, who was usually reserved but articulate, was now furious with wide-open angry eyes, his temple veins pulsating. Not only Elaine was dumbfounded, but Sylvia standing beside her was also stunned.Sylvia hurriedly stepped forward to mediate, "Brother, why are you getting angry at Elaine? Can't you see that she's still injured?""She brought it upon herself!"Mason growled angrily, then turned and walked upstairs. Soon, a thunderous slamming sound echoed from upstairs, causing all three of them in the room to tremble.Sylvia looked at Elaine with concern and scolded Mason while comforting her, "D

Elaine displayed a surprised expression, but before she could ask who the person in the photo was, Sarah proudly started speaking, "Surprised, aren't you? The person in the photo looks exactly like you. Let me tell you, that person is Aaron's wife. Do you know why he married her?"Sarah had a triumphant look on her face. Elaine, hiding her hands under the table, had to tightly clench her palms to maintain her composure. The vivid memories of that bloody past were being revealed by Sarah in such a victorious manner. Elaine truly despised her."Is it because of love?" Elaine asked with her head down, her hatred reaching an unprecedented level. She had to exert all her strength to sit still in the chair, fearing that any relaxation would cause her to lose control and strangle this woman. She had sincerely and wholeheartedly devoted herself, and this was what she received in return?"Well, you could say it's because of love," Sarah replied, her laughter revealing a sense of audacity. "Thi

Inside the car, the atmosphere was somewhat silent. Elaine lowered her head, lost in her thoughts, while Aaron glanced at her several times, noticing the wound on her face that had reopened. He suddenly felt agitated and slammed the steering wheel, speaking in a harsh tone, "It seems like the medical skills of the Smith family aren't that great.""What?" Elaine glanced at him, seeing that he was only staring at the wound on her left cheek. She suddenly understood and looked out the window, curling her lips. It wasn't that Sylvia's medical skills were bad, and the slightly hot cup of coffee certainly wouldn't have caused her wound to reopen. It was intentional. They both had to be unhappy for her to feel at ease.However, Aaron actually left Sarah to take her to the hospital, which was unexpected. After a moment of silence, Elaine half-jokingly said, "Is it really okay to leave your fiancée behind like that?"Aaron furrowed his brows in irritation and replied in a stern tone, "It's fin

Elaine couldn't understand how she and Aaron ended up acting in this melodramatic scene. Something was not right."Aaron, have you lost your mind? Do I need to remind you that you're about to have an engagement ceremony with Sarah Garcia in a few days? What does it mean for you to hold me like this?" she exclaimed.The man's heavy breaths brushed against her neck with a scorching heat. Elaine felt awkward and turned her head to the side, trying to avoid it. After a moment of thought, she reached out to pry his hand off."Let me go first," she demanded.Aaron shook his head.Elaine was furious. What was happening? Suddenly, her phone rang loudly from her bag. She freed one hand to reach for her phone and saw an unknown number. She asked, "Who is it?""Miss Smith, it's me," a playful voice came through the phone. Elaine found it familiar, and the person on the other end seemed overly familiar as well. "I'm Calvin. Have you forgotten that we were supposed to have dinner together tonight?

Back at the Smith residence, Elaine had just mentioned to Mason that Calvin had offered her a job, but Mason immediately refused. His reasoning was simple: the Smith family didn't need that bit of money, and Elaine's situation was special. If she really wanted to work, he would arrange a leisurely job for her in the administrative department of St. Love Hospital.In the evening, Sylvia sneaked into Elaine's room. "Don't mind my brother. He's going through early menopause, but his concerns aren't entirely unfounded. Your situation is quite unique."Elaine, unaware of this, sighed, "But I can't stay cooped up at home forever.""True," Sylvia mused, stroking her chin in thought. Suddenly, a gleeful expression crossed her face as she grabbed Elaine's hand. "I have an idea. Since you didn't have a chance to study properly before, why not continue your education? Choose a major you like, and my brother definitely won't object."Elaine felt elated. "You're right! You're so smart, I can't bel

"No, the security guard said Professor Miller hasn't left," Sarah murmured outside the door. She added, "Let me make a phone call."Then they heard Renee's phone ringing."Professor Miller, are you there? It's Sarah, please open the door for me," Sarah said."Wait a moment," Renee looked at the two of them. Elaine pushed Sylvia lightly and whispered, "I'm fine.""Alright," Sylvia nodded at Renee. "You let them in. Elaine and I will sit on the nearby sofa."Sylvia pulled Elaine and they sat on the sofa while Renee went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, they heard Sarah's aggrieved voice, "Professor Miller, I thought you weren't in the office.""Do you need something?" Renee stepped aside to let Sarah and Aaron in, then walked towards her desk, discreetly glancing at the sofa."Oh," Sarah Garcia, who was walking ahead, suddenly exclaimed with a smug look on her face. "So the two Miss Smiths are also here."Without waiting for Elaine and Sylvia to respond, she turned around a

CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 203: Sylvia's Extra Story
In the following weeks, Lance frequently invited Sylvia to meet up. Gradually, Lance developed feelings for Sylvia and decided to confess his feelings. However, Sylvia felt he was too young for her and turned him down.A few days later, Sylvia was taking a break in her office. She heard footsteps approaching the door and assumed it was a nurse coming to remind her about a patient. She set down her coffee cup and stood up. But when the door swung open, it wasn't a nurse who entered; it was Lance, dressed in a suit and holding roses.Almost reflexively, Sylvia's heart skipped a beat. She pretended to flip through patient records and casually asked, "Why are you here?"Not receiving an immediate response from Lance, Sylvia raised her head to find him standing less than two meters away, holding roses and looking directly at her.Lance said, "You asked me to think it over carefully, and I did that after I went back."His expression was incredibly earnest, and Sylvia's fingers, gripping the
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 202: Sylvia's Extra Story
Seeing the young man staring at her, Sylvia wasn't one to be subtle. Considering the potential identity of the young man, even though she didn't have any disdain for that profession, she still felt a bit strange. So, taking advantage of the moment when the man was in a daze, she swiftly moved out of his embrace.Realizing that her arms were suddenly empty, Lance snapped back to reality. He lowered his head and looked at his empty arms, feeling a sense of loss. A trace of disappointment appeared on his clean face, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly."Lance, I advise you to think it over. I'm offering you a high price. Don't regret it!" The woman took the opportunity to approach, and her finger almost pointed at Lance's nose in an arrogant manner.Sylvia didn't like this woman at all and wanted to teach her a lesson. However, her hand was pulled by Lance, whose fingers were clean and slender, with neatly trimmed nails, just like him, giving off a very clean impression.Sylvia lowered he
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 201: Sylvia's Extra Story
From a very young age, Sylvia displayed a different side compared to other girls. While most girls immersed themselves in pretty princess dresses and shades of pink, and vied for the attention of handsome young men, Sylvia showed little interest. Furthermore, she had an exceptional older brother, Lance, which led her to have high standards when it came to men. Ordinary young men simply couldn't capture her interest. During her school years, many pursued her with flowers and gifts, but failed to attract her. Later, when she began working in the emergency department of a hospital, she encountered gory scenes every day. Her conversations were often peppered with terms like "fracture," making her one of the renowned figures at St. Love Hospital's emergency department. Sylvia didn't think much of men. They seemed to exist only to fulfill certain needs, and she had little desire for such things. Having become accustomed to being on her own over the years, even as her family members marrie
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 200: Making Amends
In mid-September, Renee gave birth to a baby girl. When Elaine and Aaron arrived at the hospital, they saw the newborn baby, wrinkled-faced and tiny. Elaine looked at her with great affection and couldn't wait to hold her.The nurse carefully handed the baby to her, a soft bundle that seemed fragile, as though she might break with a wrong move. Elaine held her with stiff movements, as if cradling something extremely delicate. She didn't dare to breathe too heavily."She's so small and so soft," she exclaimed excitedly. Elaine turned to look at Aaron and was surprised to see a hint of tears in his eyes. She was momentarily taken aback. The baby in her arms had already been taken away by the nurse."I have to take the baby to the nursery. Family members can go there to see her," the nurse said and left with the baby.In the corridor, it was just Elaine and Aaron. Elaine placed her hand on her swollen abdomen, then linked her arm with Aaron's, and smiled. "We'll have our own baby very so
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 199: The End of the Bad Guy
As time passed, Elaine's belly gradually grew larger. With Aaron's meticulous care, she gained a little weight. Her once sharp chin filled out, and her complexion improved.During these two months, a significant event occurred: Ralph Brown passed away. He transferred all of Aaron's company's 30% of shares to Elaine, left the old Brown family mansion to Vincent, and the other five properties, including cars and various antiques, to Trevor. Mavis, at first, didn't agree with this distribution of the inheritance. Elaine didn't want those shares either, but the lawyer explained that if Elaine refused, the shares would have to be donated to a charitable organization. So, in the end, Elaine had to accept the shares. Mavis had no choice but to accept it as well, as the will had legal effect.Elaine already had 10% of Aaron's company shares, and with the additional 30%, it meant that Aaron's company ultimately returned to Aaron's control.Throughout this process, Aaron remained silent. He see

Aaron brought Elaine back to their home. He carried her upstairs, being gentle and considerate. "You're so cold. Let me run a hot bath for you."In truth, Elaine wasn't cold; it was his own body that felt icy.Seeing his lips turning purple, Elaine couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his cheek. "I'm sorry for making you worry."Aaron just shook his head. "As long as you're okay."Elaine bit her lip. "I'm not okay. I've really thought about ending it, why go on living to face all that pain?"As her words fell, Elaine distinctly felt Aaron's arm around her tightening. Nevertheless, she continued, "I just thought of the baby in my belly. I've already killed one. I can't harm this one too, so..."Her words caused Aaron's entire body to tense. Yet, he was also relieved that they had this child. Otherwise, he might have lost Elaine forever. He shifted his gaze to her abdomen and softly said, "Thank goodness for you."Elaine was unaware of his thoughts, and her fingers instinctivel
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 197: The Explosive Truth
After two days of anxious waiting, Melissa finally received the DNA test results, confirming that she and Elaine were indeed mother and daughter. The samples had been provided by Melissa herself, and the hair samples, including Elaine's and hers, couldn't have been falsified.Her fingers trembled uncontrollably. Melissa staggered backward, her back against the wall, unable to contain the shivers running through her body. Elaine was really her daughter.She was the same daughter she had heartlessly abandoned in the wilderness during that winter, the daughter she had forsaken in her ruthless quest for revenge against Tatum. She had harbored murderous intent against her daughter not once, but three times, all in the name of saving Shumo Ran's life.Elaine was her daughter!..."Aaron, hurry and find Elaine. She drove off by herself, and we're worried she might be in danger. You must find her!" Renee's voice sounded frantic on the phone."What happened? Why did Elaine leave home like that
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 196: Close to the Truth
More than an hour later, Elaine woke up. When she opened her eyes, there were people standing around her hospital bed. She blinked and felt some discomfort in her shoulder. Her brow furrowed slightly.Aaron, anxious, immediately asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"Elaine shook her head. "I'm okay. Thanks for worrying."She remembered Calvin, the man who had pushed her away, and asked anxiously, "How is Calvin?"She tried to sit up but was gently restrained by Sylvia. "Don't worry; he's okay. He has a broken leg, but the other injuries aren't too severe."Elaine, reassured about Calvin's condition, patted her stomach. "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the baby."Aaron stopped her from moving further, saying, "The doctor said you should try to move as little as possible. Don't forget, there's a baby in your belly."Elaine rested back down.Over the next few days, Aaron not only took care of Elaine but also investigated why the driver had veered toward her. He found

Tatum went to the Garcia household since Melissa wasn't at home. After waiting for about half an hour, he heard the sound of a car outside. Tatum suddenly looked up, a hint of panic in his eyes, and slowly stood up from the sofa. It was indeed Melissa returning. She was holding her phone and talking on the phone, saying, "Don't worry, as long as you complete this task for me, I promise to send your wife and child abroad. Yes, the two million deposits have been transferred to your wife's account. I'm waiting for good news from you. Remember my requirements, go all the way!" Then she hung up and walked into the house. "Melissa!" Tatum looked at the weary woman before him. If only he hadn't insisted on leaving all those years ago... "You..." Melissa looked at the person before her, and a vague image in her mind became clearer, merging with the man before her as if he were the man from her hallucinations. She opened her mouth as if to say something but suddenly clutched her head, her
