"Azula, you can go with him today, but you better not say anything. Do you want to be chased and killed by a group of people or to be chased and killed from both sides? You should think carefully about it yourself." Henri leaned over to Azula's ear; his behavior was extremely ambiguous as he whispered. Rafferty could not hear what Henri said. He could only see his affectionate behavior and Azula who was not resisting at all. "Azula! Come here!" Raffertyโs anger was exceptionally obvious. He also did not know why he could get irritated by Henri so easily. Azulaโs heart trembled a little. She was afraid that the people behind Henri and Rose would chase after her and kill her, and she was even more afraid to involve Rafferty into this. "My relationship with Azula should be no different from you and her, right? Soโฆ is there any difference between who would send her home?" Henri coldly looked at Rafferty, seemingly provoking him. "I will send her back. You neednโt trouble yourself.
โDad, there is someone watching us outside our familyโs mansion. Iโm worried that Rose and her people are desperate.โ Summer was worried because she could not guard against them.โThereโs someone watching you from outside?โ Alaric no longer sounded tired. He stood up and walked out of the bedroom carefully. โWhere are you now?โโI am at home now, looking at the video surveillance.โโCall the police.โ Alaric frowned and lit up a cigarette. โWhere is Jasper?โโIf Jasper was at home, Summer would not take the initiative to call me.โJasper should be able to handle these matters.โโHe... drank too much.โ Summer looked gloomy. โSeriously...โ Alaric sighed. โIโll come over now. Call the police first.โโBut those people had not done anything yet. If I call the police...โ Summer was not sure what reason she should give to the police for calling them.โJust tell them there was a public nuisance. Some people are shouting outside your home and have affected your rest.โ Alaricโs expressi
There are too many of them. Jasper took Summer into the study room and closed the door hard. โLock the door from inside!โSummer was panicking. She wanted to open the room door but she could not open it. Jasper was pulling the door from the outside. โJasper!โโLocked the door from inside! Donโt come out!โJasper was worried about his children. Melody and the children were on the first floor. The nanny heard some voices and came out of the room. She was shocked and trembled when she saw the fight on the second floor. โWho... who are you guys?!โThe nanny ran back to the room in shock. The nanny was smart and immediately locked the room door and called the police. At Melodyโs room...There was a small crib beside her bed. Leo was sleeping in the small crib, while Little Chestnut was sleeping soundly on the bed. Even if there was thunder, they would still be sleeping soundly.Melody was wearing a face mask while putting on her earphone and singing some songs. She had no idea
โI can go over by myself.โ Samson did not want Cosmo to be involved with this matter. โAm I hitting you too lightly recently?!โ Cosmo was mad and he was firmer in his attitude than in the past. Samson gritted his teeth. โDoes he need a spanking or am I too tolerant toward him?โAfter driving, Cosmo looked at the rear-view mirror. It was so late now, but someone followed him as soon as he turned the corner.Bang!Cosmo was not able to respond, and another car banged straight toward Cosmoโs car. โฆ...At the seaside mansion...Yadon received a call from Jasper. He frowned and looked at Natalie who had slept soundly. Yadon bent down and kissed Natalieโs forehead. Then he put on his jacket and went out. The courtyard was quiet. The sound of the waves was loud, but it was not grating on the ears. After lighting up a cigarette, Yadon sent a message to his subordinate. โIs everything settled?โโChairman Caballero, everything was settled. But this time around, we had found out
At the Emergency Department of Sea City Hospital...Samson stood outside the resuscitation room and his whole body was stained with blood. His fingers were a little numb. โCosmo.โThose people were coming after him, yet he was the one who had asked Cosmo to turn the steering wheel and let the car hit his side. โMister Ardly, Mister Hamiltonโs condition is not ideal...โ The doctor sighed because the chances for Cosmo to wake up again were low. Samson said nothing and stood quietly. Indeed, he did not treat Cosmo as his friend in the beginning. He also had a grudge against Cosmo for not telling him earlier about Summerโs background. But it had been so long. Cosmo was helping him to take care of his child and him...โWe had made a promise to live together. Cosmo, are you going to leave me alone?โSamson felt that his eyes were a little warm. He did not know about the reason, either. โWhy...?โWhen he was young, he wanted to have love from his mother, but Rose left him becau
โIf Miller Corporation was destroyed, Jasper would lose everything he has. Only when he loses everything, will he know who truly loves him.โIsabella clenched her hands tightly. Her stubbornness to have Jasper made her almost act like a lunatic.โSummer did not truly love Jasper. If Miller Corporation was destroyed, Summer would leave and despise Jasper.โAt that time, Jasper would understand my efforts and heโll know how much I love him.โEven if Jasper loses everything and becomes poor, I would still love him.โโThatโs so touching.โ Rose smiled and shook her head. She looked at Isabellaโs expression and thought of herself when she was young.At that time, her relationship with Josse... was also so stubborn. She was so stubborn and scary. At that time, she was wondering if she could destroy Josse and make him not able to sing. She thought that she would still love him deeply and would not leave him even if he had lost everything. At that time, Josse would be so touched by he
At the Sea City Hospital...Summer was waiting anxiously in the corridor. โJasper was not seriously wounded. Why is he not coming out after so long?โโDoctor, he was not seriously wounded, was he? Why is he not coming out after so long?โ To be exact, after suturing, Jasper was sent back into the resuscitation room again. โMiss Plath, donโt worry. He is just having a routine check.โ The doctor came out and comforted Summer.Summer sighed in relief. โWhat else did he need to check for...?โAt the resuscitation room...Jasper sat on the operating table and rubbed his brows. โAre the test results out yet?โBenjamin shook his head. โFor safety concerns, it is better to stop from having sex with Summer first. You should be fine, but for the sake of Summer and your children, you should be quarantined and observed for a while, and wait for the next checkups.โJasper felt a headache. โAm I not unlucky?โโThis is not considered unlucky yet. Likely, Cosmo would not regain consciousness
Sea City had a strict security system. With so many things happening in one night, the police officers took this incident very seriously. The police kept an eye on Summer wherever she went. They feared that something might happen to her again. โSummer!โ Right after she walked out of the hospital, a familiar voice called out her name. โCasper?โ Summer asked in shock. โWhy are you here?โโGilbert met with an accident at the border of Sea City and Mountain City. The surveillance camera is missing after Yadon's disappearance at Mountain City. The higher-ups are focusing on this, and you can say that these are all cases conducted with malicious intent. Iโm in charge of looking after you and Jasper.โ Casper explained. He then spoke again, โWhere are you going? Is Jasper okay?โโHe's okay. Natalie is pregnant. With her growing stomach, things aren't very convenient for her. Iโm worried because sheโs alone at home.โ Summer turned and glanced at the emergency room. โJasperโs wound has b
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs family. Her family was in a very scary place. They started falling into decadence in the later years. In fact, they started showing signs of having a lack of sons. Every leader of the family became anxious about who the next leader would be. They were so worried about who would be the head of the family
Without realizing it, Summer had subconsciously returned to the Miller familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer lay on top of him, picked up the glass of red wine on the table, and drank it.Jasper just realized that she smelled strongly of alcohol.โSumโฆโ He was a little worried. His heart ached for her too, but he also wanted to let her be.
Mabel was cooking in the kitchen of the Plath family's mansion. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ Mabel treated her really well. She helped her with the dishes.Summer was also already used to it. She no longer felt shy. It was natural to her already. Alaric looked at Summer and smiled plainly. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe pushed back too much work to get ready for the wedding. He wants to finish making work arrangements as soon as possible and go on a honeymoon with me.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. Jasper Miller, do you take Summer Plath as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. Summer Plath, do you take Jasper Miller as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, he gritted his teeth, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her.He kissed Summer even before the officiant had asked him to kiss the bride.She was so embarrassed by the kiss that her ears turned red.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs friends and relatives came one after another. All of them would be attending the wedding ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Edward would be there with Trent too.
After all, this matter was related to Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... I really did not know anything about it. I just thought she lived a difficult life. I felt guilty, so I asked someone to send her some money. I did not know what happened to her after that!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva was brought away by the police. She should have expected that this was the consequence of offending Jasper.Jasper was busy with the wedding and he did not care much about her. Otherwise, she might have gone through worse than being arrested.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ Hanna smiled and kept a stra
Samson nodded as he watched Rose leaving.Charlie ran out of the courtyard and stood still. He looked a little distressed.He was just a child...Perhaps it was because he had a mother who set up a scheme against him and used him as a chess piece that he was more mature than other children.In the past, he wanted to live. He wanted not just to live but to prevent his mother from setting up a scheme against him.He was still Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ Samson smiled at Charlie.Everyone could be redemption for other people, and other people could be their redemption, too.Charlie nodded and ran back to the Miller familyโs mansion.Melody was carrying her grandchildren and
Jasper did not care whether Thomas intended to hurt Summer or not.As long as Summer was shocked, he would not allow it.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs childhood friend. Summer did not know that Aiden was secretly protecting her. He was seriously injured and almost lost his life many times because of Summer.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
