CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 17: Meeting Again
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
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 18: Acting All Suave
"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 19: Who Humiliated Whom?
Sarah seemed to be quite satisfied with Elaine's "understanding" and no longer made sarcastic remarks. However, she couldn't help but show off her affection for Aaron. Elaine looked at her with a cloying smile on her face and couldn't help but think of those photos. Aaron probably had no idea that the woman he cherished had a promiscuous side, right?Elaine chuckled inwardly, wondering how Aaron had caught her again. He put down his chopsticks and casually asked, "Miss Smith seems to be very happy?"Elaine coughed softly, "It's alright."Her mood was indeed quite pleasant. Aaron also had a day of being betrayed by a woman. They were supposed to be childhood sweethearts, a perfect match made in heaven. Turns out it was nothing more than that."Miss Smith," Sarah guarded herself and diverted Aaron's attention back to her. She looked at Elaine with feigned politeness and asked, "Will you come to our engagement ceremony?"Afraid that Elaine would be unhappy, Sylvia interjected, "Who do yo
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 20: My Spoon
Renee and Mason went to the study to discuss matters, while Sylvia stomped her feet in relief. "Thank goodness Renee showed up. She saved my life. If my older brother knew I took you to see Renee and ran into Melissa Garcia again, he would have beaten me up."Elaine sat on the sofa, reading a newspaper. Initially, she didn't think much of Sylvia's complaint until she heard the name Melissa Garcia. She paused slightly and closed the newspaper, then asked casually, "What's the matter with Melissa Garcia? Why can't I see her?""It's her," Sylvia snapped back to reality, putting a hand over her mouth and avoiding Elaine's gaze. She awkwardly smiled and said, "Isn't she Sarah Garcia's mother? I thought you might feel uncomfortable seeing her."Elaine could tell it was an excuse, and it was a waste of her dramatic experience. Clearly, Sylvia couldn't tell the truth, and Elaine didn't want to push her. She simply responded, "It's alright. My heart is strong now. I'm not afraid of them.""Tha
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 21: Restaurant Encounter
In a rare good mood, Elaine decided to go out with Calvin after having an unsatisfying lunch that left her hungry. The Smith family was familiar with Calvin, so the butler didn't stop them as they left, only reminding them to be careful on the way.Calvin didn't think much of the butler's caution and commented, "Why does Mason treat you like a child?" Elaine smiled in response.Calvin quickly turned his head to look at her and suddenly said, "You have a secret, don't you? I can tell you're not ordinary." Elaine replied, "...Tell me then, how am I not ordinary?" She looked at him with a smile that seemed ambiguous. Calvin turned to face her, their eyes meeting like glass, and something inside him felt a sting. He quickly averted his gaze, feeling uneasy, and awkwardly tapped the steering wheel, blurting out, "Men's intuition."Elaine almost burst into laughter at his remark.They went to a buffet restaurant, as Calvin suggested. He commented on how famished Elaine looked and joked that
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 22: Unfortunate Slap in the Face
Elaine stood behind Aaron, hiding her face the whole time, while the reporters repeatedly called out "Miss Smith," making it obvious that someone intentionally leaked the information. Otherwise, even though Aaron was famous, he wasn't a big celebrity to the point where reporters would specifically track him, let alone a large group of reporters.Elaine wondered who would deliberately frame him, while Aaron kept a stern expression. Seeing that neither of them spoke, the reporters took advantage of the situation and approached them, trapping them in a confined space."Are you both remaining silent because you have an inappropriate relationship?" a reporter asked sharply, her eyes scanning directly towards Elaine, who was standing behind Aaron. "Miss Smith, please answer the question."The attitude was clearly targeting her. Elaine understood it very well and pushed Aaron aside, walking towards the camera with a confident smile. "Where is there anything inappropriate? If you don't believ
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 23: Finding a Mistress
Watching the elegant figure fade into the distance, Aaron's lips twitched. Suddenly, a meaningful smile curved on his lips. Since someone had already labeled him as a scoundrel and a despicable person, wouldn't it be a waste not to do something to live up to their "kindness"?His smile was eerie, and Sarah, leaning against him, felt uneasy. She grabbed his shirt collar to divert his attention back to her. "Aaron, let's go too."Aaron shifted his gaze, his intense eyes falling on her face. Sarah, feeling uneasy, casually brushed her long hair near her temple and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?""I don't like being manipulated," Aaron said, his handsome face devoid of any smile. After being by his side all these years, Sarah knew his temper quite well. Although Aaron doted on her and was considerate about her illness, he was firm on certain principles.To put it bluntly, Aaron wanted an obedient woman. In the past, he had been understanding of her health condi
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 24: Rumors Spread Wildly
Elaine couldn't sleep soundly, and when her phone rang, she jumped in fright. Before answering the call, she glanced at the time. It was not even 5 o'clock in the morning. Who would call her at such an early hour?"Something big has happened, Elaine. Turn on your computer and go online. There's news about you everywhere."Her groggy body and mind took a while to respond. Elaine finally understood what Sylvia was talking about and casually replied, "Are you talking about last night? I've already clarified it, so there shouldn't be any problem...""There's already a problem," Sylvia exclaimed anxiously and quickly urged her, "Don't go out for now. Wait until I come back. Mason should be home soon. I can't talk anymore. Check online by yourself anyway..."The call was abruptly disconnected. Elaine was now partially awake and quickly turned on the lights. She put on a robe and walked to the desk, opening her laptop. While waiting for it to start up, she carefully recalled the events of la

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
