CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 74: She Wants the Truth
As Elaine had already decided to go abroad, she had almost finished packing her luggage. Renee looked at the suitcase placed in the corner and silently sat down on the sofa. She had actually arrived at the Smiths' house half an hour ago, but seeing Elaine's calm demeanor now, she wasn't sure if she should tell her the truth."Renee, have some orange juice," Elaine offered her a glass.Renee took a sip and held the glass in her hand, her fingers tightening slightly.Elaine noticed her uneasiness and felt her heart start to race. She pulled up a chair next to Renee and casually changed the topic, "I've decided to go to Paris and live with my father. It should be nice.""Is that so?" Renee responded softly, the words on the tip of her tongue swallowed back. She quietly picked up the glass again and drank half of the orange juice. "Paris is great. I have a classmate there; I can introduce you to her.""Okay," Elaine could sense that Renee had something on her mind and just gave a simple r
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 75: Is the Truth Revealed?
Downstairs was in chaos. With Mason's intervention, the front desk could only report to higher-ups. Upon learning of the situation, Jason immediately informed Aaron.Aaron left the meeting room. Behind him, some shareholders grumbled as he exited before the meeting had finished. "He doesn't even consider us. What's the point of having this meeting? Let's end it, disperse!"Many shareholders left in anger, except for Lionel. He leaned back casually in his chair, a faint smile playing on his lips. He watched the commotion unfold, amused. "Look at the mess this has become. Let's see how Aaron handles this!"...Aaron took the private elevator to the ground floor. As he stepped out of the elevator, he was met with a shocking scene. Three security guards had Mason surrounded. On the other side, several female employees were struggling with Elaine. In the midst of the tussle, Elaine's white T-shirt was torn and barely covered her chest.His expression immediately changed. He shouted, "Back
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 76: Never Treated Gently
The gray sky seemed to have been torn open, releasing a torrential downpour. Elaine stumbled out of Aaron Group, lost in thought. The sky flashed with lightning and thunder rumbled, echoing the thunderclap that had just exploded in her mind. It wasn't Aaron, it wasn't him, it couldn't be...She suddenly wanted to laugh, and as she laughed, tears streamed down her face. As she walked, she wiped away the tears, her lips curling into a wider smile. She felt like a fool, crying and laughing like this!"Wait!" Aaron chased after her. The rain was pouring heavily, and that foolish woman had dashed into the rain without an umbrella. He had never encountered such a stubborn woman!The rain was too heavy, and Elaine didn't hear anyone calling after her. She wiped the rain from her eyes and hastened her steps toward her car. She needed to calm down and think things through. Her shoulder was suddenly grabbed."Get over here!"Elaine didn't even have a chance to turn around before she was yanked
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 77: You Still Love Him
"Aaron, who's in the car?" Sarah had arrived by the car and was peeking inside.Upon hearing her deliberately soft voice, Elaine's muddled thoughts suddenly became clear. If Aaron was innocent, then who could have bribed Dr. Wilson? Could it be...She clenched her clothes tightly, then abruptly turned her head and stared at Sarah through the car window. Her mind cleared up in an instant. Aside from Aaron, who else wouldn't want Sarah dead? The answer was glaringly obvious, wasn't it?The car door was suddenly pulled open. Upon seeing Elaine, the smile on Sarah's face froze. "Miss Smith, what are you doing here?"Elaine didn't speak. She stared at Sarah with a dark expression. Sarah felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze and reached out to grab Aaron's arm, saying, "Aaron, she...""It's fine," Aaron casually interjected, showing no intention of explaining further.Restless, Sarah shook his arm, her brows furrowed. She put on the demeanor of a hostess and said, "Aaron and I have th
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 78: I Want to Snatch Him Away!
Elaine waited in the cafe for a good half an hour before Sarah, donning high heels, finally arrived with a slow, swaying walk. "I made you wait for so long, just had dinner with Aaron, took a few extra minutes," she said casually.Taking a sip of her coffee, the bitter taste spread through Elaine's lips and teeth, wrinkling her brow slightly. She was about to hear the provoking tone of the woman's voice again."Come on, what do you want?" Sarah challenged.What did she want? Elaine chuckled inwardly, placing the coffee cup down and looking at her with indifference. She smiled softly, "I don't understand what you're saying.""You don't need to play dumb with me. Don't think I can't see through your intentions," Sarah snapped."Since you've already figured it out, why bother asking me?" Compared to Sarah's furious state, Elaine was remarkably calm and composed. Her eyes were captivating, a gentle smile lingering on her lips, exuding grace and elegance.Sarah couldn't hold her composure
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 79: Intentionally Getting Close
As her words fell, the previously ambiguous atmosphere in the car froze instantly. Since she had already put it all out there, Elaine had no intention of arguing further. She gazed at him, her eyes fixed.Feeling her gaze, Aaron squinted slightly. His right hand moved to the back of her neck, his fingers playing with her long hair. "So, how do you plan to seduce me?"Elaine looked at him in astonishment. "Are you serious?""What do you think?" he evaded her question, lightly tapping the steering wheel. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, a smirk playing on his lips that was hard to read.Elaine's mind was in chaos. She did intend to snatch Aaron away, that was true. But she needed to figure out how she would actually do it. What should she do now?Suddenly, Aaron withdrew his hand. "Don't say things you can't follow through on. I don't need you tarnishing my reputation!""Who said I can't?" Elaine retorted.After a few seconds of silence, Aaron burst into hearty laughter. El
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 80: She Did It on Purpose
The car came to a stop, and Aaron gentlemanly walked around to her side and opened the car door. Elaine smiled and got out, and in the corner of her eye, she noticed flashing lights behind the bushes. She quickly stepped forward, blocking Aaron's line of sight."Are you sure there's food at home?" She looked up at him.Aaron smiled, "I'm sure."Elaine smiled back, and with light steps, she headed inside. Aaron followed behind, watching her graceful figure. He couldn't help but smile, feeling quite content."Oh!" Elaine missed a step on the staircase and stumbled.Aaron's eyes tightened, and he quickly reached out to catch her. They both fell to the ground – Aaron landing solidly on the grass while Elaine ended up on top of him. His hands were on her slender waist, and the position appeared quite ambiguous.Sniffing the faint fragrance that seemed to emanate from her, Aaron lost himself for a moment. Unbeknownst to him, he didn't notice the subtle curl of Elaine's lips. Yes, she had do
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 81: Decided to Divorce
Elaine soaked in the bathtub for a couple of hours, finally feeling like she had washed away the stench. She stepped out of the bathroom, towel-drying her hair, and said, "Renee, thank you for letting me stay."Renee turned around and glanced at her. "Is the smell gone?""Yeah, I don't smell it anymore," Elaine nodded, hanging the towel on a hook. She picked up a glass of water from the nearby table and took a sip, not displaying any signs of anger.Seeing her composed demeanor, Renee asked, "Do you know who was behind this?""Who else could it be?" Elaine smiled. "It's that patient from the Garcia family."Just as she mentioned her, Elaine's phone received a text message. As expected, it was a provocative message from Sarah, admitting to orchestrating the egg-throwing incident.Elaine chuckled and casually set her phone aside. Feeling proud, are you? The higher you fly, the harder you fall!"Renee, the registration is done, but do you really think I'm good enough for this?" she asked

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.

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

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

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.

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
