CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 123: Discovering Her Secret
Elaine didn't sleep well the whole night. She woke up early, having received a text message from Sylvia the night before, saying that Calvin wanted to have her homemade fish soup. Elaine prepared the soup and headed to the hospital.She arrived at the hospital quickly, placed the lunchbox on the nearby cabinet, and said, "I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for helping me retrieve my wallet yesterday. So, thank you."Calvin smiled warmly, "You could just visit me in the hospital more often!"Elaine was momentarily taken aback. Calvin seemed to be paying close attention to her expression, so she quickly changed the subject, "I'm starving. Let's eat."After finishing their meal, Calvin stared at her for a while before speaking, "Considering I took a knife for you, can you answer me a question?"Elaine nodded slightly, "Sure, go ahead."Calvin asked, "Why Aaron?"Elaine hadn't expected him to ask this question. She didn't know how to answer it. She was concealing a huge secret an

Luman Real Estate. Jason had left a while ago, and the office was quiet, with a strange atmosphere hanging in the air. Melissa's right hand, resting on the table, was trembling faintly.She couldn't believe that Aaron had actually sent someone to follow her. She scolded herself for being too careless. Meeting Geoff had been a risky move to get him temporarily out of the picture, but it seemed that her actions had been exposed. Fortunately, he had let Jason send the evidence back, indicating that he didn't want to pursue the matter.The more Melissa thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Lionel's number. "It's been a while. Why hasn't there been any progress on your end?"Lionel, however, remained calm. "Just wait a bit longer. It's almost time."Although Melissa was anxious, she didn't want to press him further. She urged impatiently, "Hurry up and make the arrangements!""I understand," Lionel replied with a smile. His plans extended be

Elaine could clearly sense that Sylvia was intentionally killing time. First, they spent nearly two hours dining. After dinner, Sylvia dragged her shopping, from the women's section to the men's section, and finally into a supermarket. Elaine's legs felt like jelly after all that walking. Sylvia, on the other hand, was still brimming with enthusiasm, or perhaps overexcitement."Aren't you tired?" After they had roamed around the entire supermarket several times and their shopping cart remained empty, Elaine finally had enough and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy anything?""Yes!" Sylvia responded enthusiastically, dragging her around the supermarket once more.After waiting in line, they finished their shopping and it was already past ten. Elaine thought it was time to head home, but Sylvia suggested, "Since I have the day off tomorrow, how about we go singing?"Elaine believed that Sylvia was intentionally delaying her return home."What's wrong?" Sylvia took a few steps ahead an

Melissa was so angry that she almost threw her phone. She couldn't believe she was being asked to apologize to Elaine. How dare they even suggest it? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She grabbed her car keys and stormed out of the house.Sarah came downstairs just in time to see Melissa rushing out and asked, "Mom, where are you going?""None of your business!"Melissa drove straight to Aaron's company and demanded, "Where's Aaron? Tell him to come out!"Given her status, the security guards initially didn't dare to stop her. When they tried to approach her after she angrily shouted a few times, Melissa didn't let them get close. "Do you dare to touch me? Try it!"Melissa sneered a few times, crossed her arms, and looked imposing. "Go and get Aaron. Tell him I want to apologize to Elaine, and we'll see if she can handle it!"The employees below didn't dare to delay. Someone immediately called Jason, who had just parked the car in the garage. Jason, upon receiving

"You!" Melissa was so angry that her lips twitched. She grabbed the coffee cup and threw it at Aaron. Aaron quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the cup, but he still got splashed with coffee. Brown stains marred his white shirt, forming conspicuous blotches."That's enough. We don't need to talk anymore. Let's call the police!" Aaron said firmly.In the past, he might have been closer to Melissa and even admired her for managing a large company as a woman. Sarah, despite being ill, was optimistic and pleasant to be around. But now, they had taken his leniency for weakness and treated him like a doormat.Melissa's heart sank when she heard the mention of calling the police. While the evidence might not be enough to incriminate her, if this matter became public, it would damage not only her personal reputation but also the company's credibility. Given the recent downturn in the real estate industry, she couldn't afford to take such a risk.With a deep sigh in her heart, Melissa relucta

"You urgently called me out for this?" Sylvia laughed so hard she almost lost her breath. "Come on, Elaine, it's the 21st century. Aaron shouldn't care about such things!"Elaine was already embarrassed to bring up this topic, and Sylvia's enthusiastic response made her blush even more. She nudged Sylvia, whispering, "Lower your voice!"Sylvia continued to chuckle. "Alright, alright. If you're really concerned, go to the hospital for a reconstructive surgery. It'll guarantee he won't feel a thing!""I just don't want to have surgery," Elaine replied, patting her cheeks with a touch of embarrassment. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. If he ever brings it up, I really don't know how to explain.""Elaine, I think Calvin is more suitable for you. You don't know, Calvin told me today that he wants to help you get revenge!""He's talking nonsense!" Elaine whispered. She shouldn't have told him the truth!Sylvia didn't seem convinced. "Don't underestimate him. His dad runs a real estate company, a

In a high-end apartment somewhere, Lionel casually tossed his phone onto the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the vibrant night scenery of the city. The era that belonged to him alone was finally approaching after tonight.The bathroom door opened, and Cathy, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out. Her wet, long hair cascaded down her shoulders. She looked at the man's back, her eyes filled with deep admiration. She approached him from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck."Aaron Corporation will soon be yours. Are you happy?" she asked.Lionel caught her hand and lightly kissed it. "I'm ecstatic!""In that case, when are you going to marry me?" Cathy's other hand slipped inside his shirt, gently caressing him. "I've betrayed even my best friend for you. If you dare to abandon me, I won't stand for it!"Lionel chuckled, turned around, and pulled her into his embrace. "Sweetheart, when did I ever say I don't want you? After I reclaim Aaron Corporation, I h

The car was driving steadily. As Elaine gazed out the window at the breathtaking scenery, she gradually pushed aside all her worries. In the face of such majestic landscapes, personal grievances and emotions seemed insignificant.Seeing her lost in the scenery, Aaron didn't disturb her and started contemplating how to quell the local disturbances at the vacation resort. One thing was clear: he had to secure the project for the resort. As for Lionel's secret acquisition of company shares... Aaron had his own strategies for that!As the altitude increased, the mountain road became steeper and more dangerous. Along with it, the scenery grew grander, but due to the weather, there was heavy fog, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.Aaron took a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and handed it to Elaine. "Have some water."Elaine glanced at him, her face showing a rare relaxed and carefree expression. Aaron noticed and felt that bringing her along on this trip had been the right decision.

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
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 198: Sarah's Death
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
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 195: Harming Her Own Daughter
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
