All Chapters of CEO's Substitute Wife: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Monica gives Adelaide a glass of water and a fever-reducing pill and asks her to lie down again with her legs stretched out. Mercedes stays to watch over her rest while Irene and Monica leave for the office with the news for Egil. Lilith, who is supervising the tasks of some maids, sees the doctor of her mother leaving Adelaide's room and knows that the moment has arrived. This must be communicated to Petra immediately. She knocks on the door twice and Petrona opens it. "The moment has arrived, Petra. My mother's doctor was in Adelaide's room for a long time, then they hurriedly left in the van. I'm sure she's pregnant and they're on their way to tell Egil." "Damn bitch!" Petra screams in uncontrollable fury. "I'm going to dance on her grave when Egil gets rid of her and that spawn in her womb." The woman nods at Petrona and she immediately goes to give the warning to the man who must do the job. "Those women we selected are already ready to testify," Lilith informs with a smile

A couple of days later, Bahram Valencia sends his secretary along with Egil to deliver the request. He didn't think it was a good idea to just send a message; it's better that someone delivers it in person.The secretary arrives at the Arrabal estate, and the guards notify Gage of Mr. Valencia's secretary's visit. Gage initially refuses him an audience, as Egil had ordered, but due to the man's persistence and claiming to bring a message from Nadia Valencia, he eventually allows him to enter. Gage himself receives the secretary to inquire about his purpose.After a few minutes of conversation, he asks him to wait.Gage goes to Adelaide's room where his boss is and knocks a couple of times before entering."I hope what you have to say is truly important, Gage," Egil grumbles, visibly irritated by the interruption. "I asked not to be disturbed for the rest of the day. My wife is resting now.""A message has arrived from the Valencia mansion, sir. It's important that you see it right awa

Adelaide spends over four hours in Benedict's cell. Every day they get along better, and he loves the stories she reads to him, although it is his company that truly interests him.After a while, the young woman finally leaves, and she is greatly startled when two guards grab her arm at the door and take her to her husband's room.She begs them to let her go, but neither of them pays attention to her. Her heart races to the maximum, and she cries uncontrollably. Her husband found out, he found out that she went to see Benedict in secret.When they open the door, Egil is sitting in his chair, Irene and Mercedes are standing in a corner, guarded by two guards. Gage is beside his boss, and on the other side is Lilith."Egil, I..." Adelaide chokes on sobs and cannot form a complete sentence."Who gave you the keys to that criminal's cell, Adelaide?" Egil's cold voice chills the young woman to the bone. He is very angry. His face is contorted with rage. "Who stole them from my bunch and ga

Almost two days after much torment and searching, one of the guards finds a ruby pendant on a dark path that leads to the village and immediately informs Egil. The man's heart stops when the guard places the pendant in his hand. It is the same one he had given her."What else did you find?" Egil asks with a lump in his throat, fearing the worst."There was nothing else, sir.""Take me to that place now. We will comb the area again."Egil and Gage, along with a significant number of men, go to the location. Irene, Mercedes, Egil's cousins, and Petra follow behind them.On the way, Petra and Lilith exchange glances for a few seconds and smile in agreement. The plan is yielding the exact result they wanted.They meticulously search the site until they reach the village. They speak to some neighbors who tell them that they saw a woman with those characteristics enter a low-rated hotel with a man on the mentioned day.Egil doesn't stop to think if it's true or not. He enters the hotel and

"Egil," Nadia Valencia's soft and sensual voice resonates in the room. Silence spreads overwhelmingly. Everyone turns to look at her, except for Egil who takes a few seconds before doing so. Petra's face turns pale blue as if she had seen a ghost. At times, she seems to stumble, but she forcefully manages to stabilize herself. Nadia is wearing a simple sapphire blue dress that reveals her enviable figure. Her hair, which used to be long and straight, is now shoulder-length and blonde. Her skin is smooth and extremely white, accentuating her large blue eyes and pink lips. She looks beautiful. If Bahram Valencia's eldest daughter was once a beautiful young woman, she is now even more so. Everyone is left speechless upon seeing her. Only the guards become alert and protect their leader. Both she and Nora, who is standing by her side, take a few steps towards him, but without getting too close. "Nadia," Egil finds it hard to believe that the woman in front of him is the same one he lo
