CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 140: Kill Her
After dinner, Grant Auntie brought a small stool and sat by the door, gazing at the entrance to the valley. Elaine knew she was worried about Uncle Grant. She handed Grant Auntie a coat, and Grant Auntie suddenly grabbed her hand, saying, "Elaine, you're very fortunate!"Elaine wanted to ask what she meant, but Grant Auntie seemed reluctant to say more. All Elaine could do was return to the room and ponder over Grant Auntie's words.Inside the room, Elaine sat on the edge of the bed, holding Aaron's hand. Neither of them spoke, and their moods were equally uneasy. Elaine got up to pour some water and asked Aaron, "Do you want some?"Aaron shook his head, staring at the deep night outside the window. It appeared to be a normal night, yet for some reason, he felt tension in the air, making it hard to breathe. Something was amiss, very amiss!Elaine, not having his keen sense of intuition, poured a glass of water and suddenly had an idea. She walked toward the door and said, "I'll check
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 141: One Life for Another
The black-clad man probably had never encountered a woman as fearless as Elaine. He took a step back with his gun whenever she advanced a step."You!" The black-clad man was infuriated."Let me in!" Elaine approached another step.The black-clad man was about to say something when the other black-clad man guarding the entrance suddenly snapped his fingers and pointed towards the cabin. They exchanged some hand signals that Elaine couldn't understand."Bad news!" the black-clad man behind her suddenly shouted.Suddenly, those two black-clad men kept making gestures that she couldn't comprehend. Then one of them suddenly looked at her, and she felt something was wrong. She tried to turn and run, but the black-clad man grabbed her, pressing the gun to her temple."If you dare, go ahead and kill me!" Elaine shouted defiantly.The man sneered a few times, his cold gun barrel sliding up and down on her forehead. "What's the rush? We'll deal with you after we finish off Aaron. We'll have som
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 142: Hold onto This Happiness
After seeing off the intruders, the noisy night gradually returned to its former tranquility. Grant Uncle and Grant Aunt leaned on each other, standing at the entrance of the valley, watching as the group of people left. Grant Aunt wiped away her tears and said, "God bless them; may this couple not encounter any more hardships!"Grant Uncle remained silent, leading his wife back inside. Their simple little cabin was their lifelong refuge.In the mountains, the beam of a flashlight once again illuminated the area. A man was running through the woods; he was the lookout left in the mountains. He had barely taken a restroom break when a group of people suddenly appeared in the valley. Before he could use his radio to warn his comrades down below, two of them fell, the mission failed, and two were captured. He needed to hurry and report to the boss!Lionel received the message immediately. Fortunately, he already had enough shares in his possession. He needed to convene the shareholders'
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 143: For the Sake of Love, Forget the Company
Elaine hadn't anticipated that trouble would come so quickly. She had stayed by Aaron's side in the hospital room all night. At the break of dawn, Lilian entered the room, and behind her was Sarah!Lilian was determined to play matchmaker between Sarah and Aaron. As soon as they left the hospital, she had called Sarah, who rushed to the hospital overnight upon hearing that Aaron was okay. Lilian had arrived at the hospital and joined up with her promptly.Wearing a disgusted expression, Lilian pulled Elaine aside while Sarah followed with an innocent smile. "You've worked hard; go get some rest. I'll stay here with Aaron," Sarah said."I can stay with him," Elaine said as she slowly released Aaron's hand and stood up. Her attitude was clear; Aaron was still unconscious, and she didn't want to argue with these two people.Lilian, however, reached out to grab her. "No need; you can leave. I'll take care of my son myself!"Elaine didn't want to leave, but she knew deep down that if she i
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 144: Her Mood Was Quite Good
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already quite chaotic. A mobile hospital bed had been wheeled into the hospital lobby, and they could hear Lilian's loud voice. Onlookers had gathered around, and except for Lilian and Sarah, who seemed oblivious, everyone else was embarrassed by their behavior. Elaine didn't want to deal with their antics. She was concerned about Aaron, who was still unconscious, and it was distressing to see him surrounded by curious onlookers.She turned to Mason and asked, "Cousin, can Aaron be transferred to another hospital now?"Mason nodded, his sharp gaze sweeping over Lilian, who was acting like a shrew. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he quickly came up with a plan. "I'll contact the Brown family's private jet to take us back immediately.""Alright," Elaine nodded and pulled Renee along. "Let's go and move the mobile bed."Jason couldn't bear to watch any longer either and volunteered, "I'll handle the hospital transfer procedures."In t
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 145: She's a Better Fit for Him
The ambulance arrived at St. Love Hospital, and Sylvia was already waiting at the hospital entrance. When she saw Elaine, she gave her a big hug, her eyes slightly red. "I'm so glad you're okay.""Yeah, I feel really fortunate," Elaine replied, returning the hug.As the nurses wheeled Aaron into the hospital room, Sylvia held onto Elaine's hand, reluctant to let go. She asked with concern, "Elaine, did you go through a lot during this ordeal?"Elaine's expression changed slightly. "It was quite harrowing, but let's not dwell on that right now. I'm a bit tired at the moment. I'll explain everything in detail in a few days.""Alright, if you need anything, just let me know," Sylvia said.Elaine parted ways with Sylvia and went to the hospital room. Being back at St. Love Hospital felt like coming home to her. Now, all she wanted was for Aaron to wake up as soon as possible.However, this time, Aaron seemed genuinely exhausted or perhaps too injured, as he had not woken up even after a d
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 146: A War Between Two Men
Elaine had a dream. In her dream, Aaron woke up in high spirits, cuddled her in his arms, and whispered sweet nothings. The atmosphere was perfect until Sarah suddenly burst into the room, crying and accusing Aaron of being unfaithful. Aaron then pushed her off the bed and carried Sarah away."No, no, she's a murderer! You can't go with her!" Elaine screamed in her dream and woke up abruptly, startled and drenched in cold sweat. She gasped for breath, and her back was suddenly touched by a hand. She let out a loud scream and jumped up from the bed, even though she had been sleeping by the bedside just moments ago."Did you have a nightmare? Why are you so frightened?" a soothing voice sounded in her ear. Elaine was still trembling when she looked up, and there was Aaron, looking at her with concern, his brow furrowed.She stared at him blankly for a while, her heart still racing from the nightmare. Finally, she pressed her hand against her forehead and tried to regain her composure. S
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 147: Ensuring She Had No Regrets
After lunch, Aaron rested, and Elaine went to Sylvia's office to retrieve her phone. Although her number hadn't changed, all her contacts were gone, and she couldn't remember Uncle Yang's number either.When Elaine returned to the hospital room, Lionel had arrived. He was dressed in a red suit with matching dark red shoes. Hearing footsteps, he turned and greeted cheerfully, "Elaine, you're back! Come on in!"Elaine let out a cold laugh and completely ignored him as she walked into the room.Lionel appraised Elaine, making admiring sounds under his breath. He couldn't tell that Miss Smith was quite a formidable character, and she didn't look too bad either. She was certainly a cut above the women he had encountered before.Elaine looked at him with undisguised disgust, and Lionel didn't mind. He winked at her, thinking he was quite charming.Elaine simply turned away and looked towards Aaron, who was sitting by the bedside. She felt a pang of sympathy. Lionel had clearly come to mock

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
