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 25: Dominance is a Man's Nature
The phone continued to ring incessantly, but Elaine snapped back to reality. She didn't have time to pay attention to her phone and quickly opened the car door to run back. The security guard at the entrance noticed the situation and ran over, shouting from a distance, "Miss Smith!""I think I hit someone," Elaine responded. Indeed, she saw someone sitting on the ground not far ahead, and strangely enough, the figure looked familiar. As she approached, the image became clearer, and it was indeed someone she knew."Calvin?"The person sitting on the ground was none other than Calvin. Upon hearing Elaine's voice, he turned around. His glasses, with one temple broken in the collision, hung crookedly on his nose. His handsome face was pale with a lingering shock. When he saw her, his handsome face instantly contorted."Miss Smith, I just wanted to say hello to you. Did you have to try to kill me like this?" Calvin complained.Elaine was relieved that he was still able to speak clearly. He
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 26: Dirty Sins
"Let go of me," Elaine said through gritted teeth, her furrowed brows filled with anger.Aaron's hands held her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free. The past that she had once longed for but never expected...Elaine mocked, "What's wrong? Did you suddenly remember your deceased ex-wife? She's dead, yet you still pretend to be infatuated. Who are you acting for this time?"That foolish past always left her unsettled.Aaron's face darkened, and if one were to carefully discern, his usually inscrutable eyes flickered with a hint of pain. He stared blankly at Elaine's delicate profile, his eyes filled with profound waves.Elaine's slender shoulders trembled lightly with frustration. She turned her face away, gazing out of the window, her lips tightly pursed.She really didn't want any more entanglements with this man."I..." she interrupted Aaron, "You don't need to make excuses for yourself. Ask your conscience, if it weren't for my face, would you be interested in me? Aa
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 27: Why the Annoyance
The towering office building was like Aaron's status in the city, high above and out of reach. Just a few years ago, the company was called Brown Corporation, a small company. Since Aaron took over the management, in just three years, he brought Brown Corporation to unprecedented heights, becoming a leading conglomerate. Brown Corporation was officially renamed Aaron Corporation.Aaron stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his pockets, enjoying the height. The pedestrians below seemed like ants, and he loved the satisfaction and pleasure of being in control.In the past, when he looked down from this window, his face always carried a contemptuous arrogance. But today, there was a clear sense of frustration between his furrowed brows. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it."Mr. Brown," Assistant Jason knocked on the door and entered. When he smelled the smoke in the air, his actions paused. Aaron didn't have a strong addiction to cigarettes, but he would l
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 28: Had Enough Madness?
As the words fell, Mason, wearing only a robe, walked down the stairs. Despite having taken a shower, his handsome face couldn't hide his exhaustion. He held a cup of coffee in his hand, with a hint of a smile on his lips but a piercing gaze in his eyes.The two sat facing each other, and Mason took a few sips of coffee with his right hand. Seeing Aaron remaining silent, he placed the coffee cup on the table and looked at him with a slightly weary expression.Aaron crossed his legs, appearing relaxed. "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I have a question for Mr. Smith. Elaine's background seems quite mysterious."Mason raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Mr. Brown seems to be particularly concerned about Elaine's affairs?""Yes," Aaron admitted surprisingly openly. This exceeded Mason's expectations, and he furrowed his brow slightly.Aaron explained in a slightly melancholic tone, "She looks very similar to someone from my past, no, not just similar, almost identical.""So what?" Ma
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 29: The Doctor is Dead
Little did they expect that he would come back. Elaine didn't have time to manage her expression, tears still lingering on her face, making her look pitiful and poignant. She had no idea how beautiful she looked at that moment, but Aaron noticed, his gaze deepening involuntarily."Aaron, why are you here?"Calvin's voice sounded from behind, snapping Elaine back to reality. She quickly wiped her eyes and turned to Calvin, saying, "You two talk, I'll go find Sylvia to take care of the wounds."She walked away briskly. Aaron moved his lips as if he wanted to reach out and pull her back.Calvin chuckled and said, "Visiting the patient and bringing flowers, but I'm not a girl. Come, have a seat!"Aaron lowered his head and looked at the vibrant flowers in his hands. In a flash, Elaine had already walked past him and hurriedly left the ward. He instinctively raised his gaze to chase after her figure, but was interrupted by Calvin Jones's intentionally loud voice."Why are you still staring

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
