CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 86: A Red Mole
Aaron's expression soured immediately, and his eyes were filled with anger. "Don't go too far!"His warning was serious, and it left Elaine unable to keep smiling. Her own anger surged within her, threatening to consume her last shreds of reason. Flames seemed to ignite in her eyes, burning brightly.Aaron appeared to have reached his limit. "I have things to do. I'm leaving."He stood up, and Elaine followed him out of the café. The midday sun was still strong, and against the light, his silhouette seemed to block out all storms. She stood in the shadow he cast, squinting her eyes slightly as she looked up at him.It was as if Aaron suddenly realized something. He came to a sudden stop, his clenched fist exuding determination. "In two days, Sarah and I are going to register for marriage."Finally, she heard him say those words with her own ears. Elaine smiled. "Do you love her? How much? Would you die for her?"He abruptly turned around, his eyes locked onto hers with fury. "Enough!"
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 87: The Hell of Three
Aaron returned to the company, his brow furrowed. He knew Sarah's character all too well. She wouldn't waste a second clinging to him without a good reason. After their lunch today, she had left under the pretext of having something to do. She had been absent-minded during the meal, clearly hiding something from him.Soon, Jason messaged him that Elaine and Sarah were meeting on the rooftop of a certain building. After reading the message, his brow furrowed even tighter. Just what were these two women up to, hiding things from him?Melissa suddenly called him and said, "I've grown old now and I've come to my senses. As long as you treat Sarah well in the future, I'll rest assured. As for everything else, I'll handle it."Aaron found her words quite strange, so he dialed back, but Melissa's phone was already switched off. Of course, he didn't know that her call to him was a prelude to her offending someone else.Melissa sat in her car, two phones within reach. One was the phone she had
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 88: They Have No Connection
Making sure her phone was in her bag, Elaine let out a heavy breath. If these photos and videos couldn't blackmail Sarah, she would approach Aaron. As long as Aaron was still a man, he would never allow compromising photos of his woman to be publicly circulated.Just as she was about to step out from behind the wall, the door to the emergency room suddenly swung open. Seeing this, Elaine quickly hid behind the wall, listening to their conversation."Fortunately, we got her to the hospital in time. The patient isn't in life-threatening condition.""That's good. If something really happened to Sarah, I..." Melissa's voice was tense. She watched as the medical bed was wheeled out, and she hurried over."Thank you," Aaron politely thanked the doctor as he joined them on the other side of the bed, and they all escorted Sarah to her room.Once they were out of earshot, Elaine emerged from behind the wall. After a moment's thought, she went in a different direction."Dr. Baker, wait a moment
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 89: Marry Me!
Like a gust of wind, the man rushed past, ruthlessly pushing Elaine aside. She crashed into a chair, which toppled over, and then fell to the ground. Her left arm and elbow hit the hard floor, sending a wave of intense pain through her body. She almost blacked out, but she clenched her teeth, enduring the agony as she propped herself up and sat up. The scene before her froze her in place.Aaron carefully cradled Sarah in his arms, his movements gentle, as if he held a precious treasure. His gaze held an unprecedented tenderness, as if it could melt, even tucking the blanket around her. When had Elaine ever seen Aaron so tender and meticulous?Her eyes stung with bitterness, a tearful sensation welling up. She quickly averted her face, biting her lip hard and lowering her head. She quietly pushed the fallen chair back up, straightened her disheveled shirt and hair, and finally, commanded herself to lift her gaze and calmly look at the two of them."Is everything okay? I'll call a docto
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 90: Marriage Registration
第90章 结婚登记Is it love? He was so certain that Elaine found herself unable to refute. She even thought, if it made him more accepting, she might as well admit it. Disregarding his scornful gaze, she nodded resolutely.The man burst into laughter, his contemptuous gaze still fixed on her. "I thought you were different from other women, turns out you're just the same! Love for me is fake, but love for my money is real, right?"He was humiliating her, and Elaine remained silent.He felt even more dissatisfied. Grabbing her chin, he menacingly demanded, "Is the Smith family not providing you with money, that you're humiliating yourself like this?"Elaine still didn't speak. Even though her heart was already aching, she tightly bit her lips. She hadn't needed to hear his answer when she came to the hospital; she already knew what it would be.Her silence only fueled the man's anger. His fingers grew even tighter, almost crushing her bones. She endured the pain, clenching her fists tightly wh
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 91: Habit of Heartache
Aaron paid no heed to the possibility of hurting Elaine as he pulled her along. They climbed a dozen flights of stairs, with Elaine stumbling and faltering as if she might fall at any moment, yet Aaron seemed utterly indifferent...Not far away, inside a white BMW, Calvin couldn't believe that Elaine was marrying Aaron. He had been sitting in his car dazed for a while, initially trying to convince himself to let go completely. However, witnessing this scene had made him unable to stay put any longer. He opened the car door, ready to confront Aaron."Don't go!" A person suddenly appeared in the passenger seat.Calvin turned in surprise and found himself face to face with the newcomer. His anger flared, "Why shouldn't I? She's your cousin! Are you just going to stand by and watch her being bullied?"Compared to his anger, Mason was much calmer. He looked at Aaron as he pushed Elaine into the car and then drove away. He spoke, "The issues between them are complicated."Watching the car d
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 92: Saving an Elderly Person
On their first night of marriage, Elaine stayed at the Smiths' house. Aaron didn't make a call or send a text, presumably being held up by Sarah.As Elaine contemplated this, she found it somewhat amusing. Aaron believed that being with Sarah was a way of treating Elaine well, but he didn't realize that once news of their marriage became public, it would be a wonder if Sarah didn't have a breakdown!Unable to fall asleep early, and with thoughts of the competition on her mind, Elaine focused on her drawings for several hours. She had a special attachment to wedding gowns, perhaps because she knew that she was destined to have no connection to them in her life. Even if she were to wear one, she wouldn't obtain the so-called happiness. She had a strong desire to design a unique wedding gown for herself, not for the sake of wearing it, but as a form of emotional expression.With inspiration flooding in, she lost track of time and realized it was already past eleven. Satisfied with her in
CEO Marriage Scam Chapter 93: Misunderstanding Her
Elaine had truly never expected to meet Aaron's family under such circumstances. Knowing Ralph Brown's identity only made her more uncomfortable.Ralph Brown went upstairs to change his clothes, leaving her alone downstairs. He had specifically instructed her, "Feel free to look around the house. Choose something you like." After changing into fresh clothes, he stayed upstairs for half an hour before coming down. From a distance, he could see Elaine sitting on the sofa. Her hands were awkwardly placed on her knees, and she was looking down, lost in thought."How about it? Did you find something you like?"Startled by Ralph Brown's voice, Elaine, already on edge, stood up hurriedly. "Grandfather, I just remembered I have something to attend to. I'll be leaving. Thank you for your hospitality."She was eager to leave. While she knew she would have to meet Aaron's family sooner or later, it shouldn't be under these circumstances. It was both awkward and uncomfortable."Is that so?" Ralph

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
