The Secret Wife of a Billionaire 296

Chapter 296 

Summer’s POV 

I nodded, noticing the strange flicker in his eyes. Yes,” 

My grandpa’s face tightened momentarily before smoothing back to s usual composed expression. Then why would your mother get it wrong? She told me you were bringing Michael Sullivan.” 

I couldn’t help but laugh. That’s the funny part, Grandpa. Mem was the one who introduced me to Michael Sullivan in the first place. But the thing is, she’s never actually met him herself. It was af arranged through connections.I gestured toward Sean. Dr. Sean here has been kindly playing along.” 

The blood drained from Grandpa’s face. So you’re telling me that from the beginning, your mother had no idea who Michael Sullivan was? She’s never even met him?” 

Exactly,I confirmed

Sean cleared his throat. If I may explain, Mr. Taylor. My aunt Daisy apparently owed Mrs. Taylor a favor from their younger days. Now that my aunt is part of the Sullivan family, Mrs. Taylor thought she’d call in that favor by setting up her daughter with my cousin. But my cousin had zero interest in blind dates, and knowing Summer was already married to Brandon, we came up with this littlesubstitution plan.” 

Lsmiled, linking my arm through Grandpa’s. We call it Operation Switcheroo.And don’t worry, Brandon knows all about it.” 

Relief flooded Grandpa’s face. That’s good to hear. I was worried Brandon might misunderstand, and it would affect your marriage.” 

Brandon trusts me,I assured him. We’re solid.” 

Grandpa patted my hand affectionately. I’m an old man now, and my only wish is for you and Brandon to be happy together.His eyes grew sad. If only your parents weren’t sodifficult. You and Brandon might not still be hiding your relationship.” 

He turned to Sean with an apologetic expression. I’m sorry for the trouble, Dr. Sullivan. Getting caught up in our family drama can’t be pleasant.” 

I laughed, squeezing Grandpa’s hand. Don’t worry about Sean, Grandpa. He’s got nothing better to do anyway.” 

Sean raised an eyebrow. Taylor family drama is actually quite entertaining compared to hospital rounds,he joked, then grew more serious. Mr. Taylor, Brandon and Summer are both my friends. Besides, this whole charade partially involves my brother, so I’m happy to help. But truthfully, this isn’t a sustainable solution.” 

I agree,Grandpa nodded, his brow furrowing with concern. I worry about Summer getting hurt in all this.” 

Sean’s 

eyes 

narrowed thoughtfully. I wouldn’t worry too much. Summer’s smarter than people give her credit for.” 

I could practically hear what Sean was thinking: if I wasn’t exceptional, Brandon high standardsStark wouldn’t have chosen me. The real issue was that I cared too much about my family, which made me vulnerable to their manipulation

Grandpa,I asked, changing the subject, why did you ask about the Turner family? Do you know them?” 

Grandpa’s face stiffened again, but he quickly composed himself. No particular reason. Just curious.” 

I didn’t believe him for a second, but Grandpa had that stubborn set to his jaw that meant further questioning would be pointless. Sean caught my eye, and I could tell he’d noticed Grandpa’s reaction too. Something was definitely off, but neither of us could figure out what

Chapter 296 

Downstairs was an entirely different scene. As Sean and I lingered in the stairwell, we overheard Victoria’s voice drifting up from the living room

Mom, where is everyone? Where’s Dad? And Grandpa?” 

pause. What about Summer?” 

I couldn’t make out Elizabeth’s response, but Victoria’s voice carried clearly

What? Summer brought her boyfriend home? Michael Sullivan from the Sullivan family?” 

Sean nudged me, a mischievous glint in his eye. I pressed a finger to my lips, signaling him to stay quiet as we continued to eavesdrop

Elizabeth’s voice became audible now: That inconsiderate girl! I introduced them, but to bring him to a family gathering without making things official! It’s completely inappropriate. She’s been spoiled rotten, doing whatever she pleases.” 

Victoria’s syrupy response followed: You’re right, Mom, Summer definitely crossed a line. But maybemaybe things are serious between them? Maybe there’s good news? Summer wouldn’t bring him home for Christmas without a reason.” 

Beside me, Sean was barely containing his laughter. He leaned close to whisper in my ear: And the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress goes to” 

I suppressed a giggle. Shh! They’ll hear us.” 

Victoria continued her performance: I mean, Summer’s usually pretty sensible. If she brought him home, it must be important. Don’t you think so, Alex?” 

There was a moment of silence, then a flat, Maybe.” 

Sean’s eyebrows shot up at Alexander’s tone. He mouthed, Your ex

I nodded, rolling my eyes

Victoria quickly filled the awkward silence: What time will Dad be home?” 

Elizabeth’s voice turned sickeningly sweet: Victoria, have you lost weight? And your facethat horrible woman did such damage to you! As if she didn’t know how important a woman’s face is to her career! Does it still hurt?” 

No, it’s much better now,Victoria replied. The doctor gave me medication, but I have to watch my diet. Alex, don’t you think my face looks better?” 

Much better, came Alexander’s monotone response. Keep following doctor’s orders.” 

Victoria changed subjects abruptly: So where’s Summer hiding? Alex hasn’t met her boyfriend yet!” 

Sean turned to me with an amused expression. Wow. Justwow. And I thought I was shameless.” 

I grimaced, embarrassed. Sorry you have to witness this circus.” 

Are you kidding? This is better than reality TV.His eyes sparkled with mischief. But seriously, are you sure these people are your family? Because you’re nothing like them.” 

I sighed. Unfortunately, yes. Hard to believe, right?”

Chapter 296 

Let’s go make our grand entrance,Sean suggested, offering me his rm. Can’t let Victoria have all the fun.” 

As we descended the stairs, Victoria spotted us and leapt to her feet Summer! Mr. Sullivan! You’re already here? We were just talking about you two.” 

I tightened my grip on Sean’s arm, flashing Victoria a knowing smirk Oh, really? What about?” 

Victoria’s smile faltered for a split second. Mom was just saying how worried she’s been about you being alone while Alex and I are married. Now that Mom’s introduced you to such an eligible bachelor we’re all so relieved to see you two getting along so well.” 

She sidled closer, her eyes fixed on Sean. I noticed her cheeks flushing slightly as she took in his appearance

Mr. Sullivan,Victoria purred, batting her eyelashes, it’s so nice to see you again. Do you remember meeting me before?” 

Sean’s eyes danced with mischief as he regarded Victoria. His trademark lazy smile spread across his face, making his already attractive features even more devastating

Your face,he drawled, his gaze lingering on her face, is very hard to forget.”
