CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 188: The Secret About the Child
In the afternoon, when Elaine returned home, she found everyone gathered around, looking at something that seemed to bring them great joy. Sylvia waved at her eagerly, "Elaine, come take a look. This is my nephew's first ultrasound picture."Today, Mason had accompanied Renee to the hospital for a prenatal checkup and had taken a picture of the baby during the ultrasound. It was a tiny embryo, not very clear yet, but the whole family was examining it closely.Initially, this should have been a joyful occasion. Elaine also wanted to see the picture, but suddenly, unpleasant memories flooded back, and her expression changed. She stood up abruptly and hurriedly went upstairs.Her sudden departure left everyone in the room stunned.Sylvia blamed herself, patting her own mouth. "It's all my fault. I knew that Elaine is terrified of these things. Why did I let her see it?"Mason gazed silently in the direction of the stairs, not saying a word. Even Bowie's expression seemed tinged with help

With so many people attending tomorrow, it would be a perfect opportunity to watch the drama unfold.Elaine took out her phone. "Officer Davis, it's me. I'll need your help with tomorrow's plan. Can you coordinate the timing of the arrests with me? Alright, thank you."The next day, after breakfast and as the clock on the wall continued to tick, Elaine couldn't wait any longer. "It's almost time. Let's go."Sylvia had noticed that Elaine seemed unusually excited today and asked, "What's going on? Do we have a good show to watch today?""Yes, a big show. I promise it'll be exciting.""Then I can't miss it. Let's go together."The wedding was indeed grand, and it was clear that the Garcia family cared deeply about this wedding. Melissa had likely spent a considerable amount of money to make it happen. Despite Luman Real Estate'
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 190: The Wicked Woman is Plotting Again
The next day, almost all the newspapers and media outlets focused on the Garcia family's situation. Melissa was taken in for questioning, and Sarah had fallen ill and was admitted to the hospital.After breakfast, Elaine drove to the hospital. The private clinic was not very spacious, but it was luxuriously decorated. When a nurse saw Elaine approaching, she asked, "Excuse me, are you here for a medical appointment?"Elaine scanned her surroundings and replied, "I'm here to visit a patient, Sarah.""She just woke up, and her husband is with her now. But, miss, may I ask if you... Oh, I know you, Miss Smith," the nurse answered her own question. "Please come with me."Elaine didn't know why she had come here. She had felt a strong urge to visit the hospital when she woke up this morning. Even though Sarah had terrible character, she did have a good mother. Melissa had been exceptionally kind to her.She envied Sarah. Elaine didn't even know who her mother was or if she was unwanted, po
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 191: Alone Together
On the weekend, the company arranged for its employees to go on a mountain trip. Elaine walked alone at the back and noticed a small cabin halfway up the mountain. She decided to take a break there.Approaching the cabin, Elaine hesitated before knocking on the door. There was no response from inside. She debated whether to enter when suddenly the door swung open."Come in," Aaron said.Elaine looked at him. "What are you doing here?"Aaron replied, "I came to wait for you." He was worried about how the Garcia family's situation might affect her mood. He also feared that if he asked her to meet up, she would refuse, so he let the company arrange this outing.Elaine chuckled coldly. "Wait for me for what? Are you afraid I'll go and upset Sarah, so you arranged for me to come here?"Aaron sighed. "What do I have to say for you to believe that I just want you to relax and that I won't interfere with the Garcia family's affairs?"As he said this, he genuinely looked earnest. Elaine was al
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 192: Sharing a Bed
Aaron was now grateful for the heavy rain, as it allowed them to spend so much time alone together, just silently watching her, making up for the time they had missed.As night fell, Elaine contemplated how they would sleep. The small cabin had only one set of bedding, and the temperature in the mountains was quite low, especially with the rain.Aaron had been standing at the door for a while, watching her struggle with the decision. He let out a sigh and walked in. "You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the living room couch."Elaine looked at him, but in the end, she couldn't bear to let him sleep on the couch in this cold mountain cabin. She grabbed his arm. "It's so cold up here; let's just sleep here."Aaron was secretly delighted and quickly began to arrange the bedding.Elaine went into the bathroom to brush her teeth, but suddenly, the lights went out, leaving the entire cabin in complete darkness. Elaine was taken aback; the night in the mountains was incredibly dark, with
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 193: Pregnant
The next morning, Elaine woke up early and didn't know how to face Aaron, so she decided to go down the mountain alone. When Aaron woke up and found she was gone, he didn't get angry. Instead, he called Jason to check his text message records for the past three months.Back at the office, Jason handed Aaron the printed text message records. As Aaron carefully examined the messages, he found evidence that on December 23rd, he had sent a text message to Elaine with the content "Let's get a divorce.""Jason, I didn't send this message. Why is it in the records?" Aaron said."Mr. Brown, on that day, Miss Garcia mentioned that she needed to talk to you. You went to her room in the hospital. Could it have been her who sent it?" Jason suggested.Aaron recalled that on that day, after going to Sarah's hospital room, he had been soaked by her throwing water at him, and he had left his phone in the bathroom. When he returned, he saw her holding his phone. It was definitely her who had sent the
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 194: Giving Yourself Another Chance
Tatum has returned home, and this time, he has brought all his belongings with him. This time, he won't leave again.During dinner, the whole family gathered, and the atmosphere was incredibly warm. However, Elaine sensed that Tatum's gaze towards her was complex, filled with guilt, concern, and something else, making her feel uneasy."Uncle, don't look at Elaine like that. She's pregnant now," Sylvia accidentally let slip about Elaine's pregnancy.Although Elaine hadn't told them about her pregnancy, being doctors, they quickly found out. They didn't ask Elaine about it, but they took extra care of her at home. Sometimes Mason even bought pregnancy-related items for Elaine. Therefore, Elaine knew that they all knew about her pregnancy.Tatum was unaware of this, and upon hearing Sylvia's words, he looked at Elaine in confusion. Elaine didn't attempt to hide it and admitted, "The child is Aaron's."Tatum was taken aback, his brows furrowing even more. However, he didn't say anything.
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

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
