Chapter 12

Jasper had sent Victoria back home. On his way back, his cell phone had started ringing. It was a number that was unfamiliar to him.

“Hello?”

“Jaz… Jaz, save-”

*Slam!* Before Summer could even finish speaking, Jasper had hung up out of frustration.

Victoria had been distracted ever since she had seen Summer earlier.

What a stupid idiot. He had already warned Summer before to not show up in front of Victoria and upset her.

At the Dawn family’s mansion.

“Vic, did Jasper agree to help your dad out regarding the problem with our company’s funding?”

Mrs. Dawn asked in a worried tone as soon as she saw that Victoria had come back.

Victoria was clearly distracted as she walked straight toward her room. Not saying a single thing, she shut her door with a bang.

“What’s up with this girl?”

......

Victoria’s face was becoming paler and paler, and her hands were trembling as she hugged herself tightly. She sat on the floor in an agitated manner.

It was impossible. It was impossible for Summer Plath to still be alive.

Those people said that they had dismembered her. So how was she still alive and well?

She had lost her memory.

It turned out that she had lost her memory. No wonder there was no news about her for the entire year.

No one in Country M knew that Summer Plath was still alive.

No, she absolutely must not allow them to find out!

“Vic, what would you do if Jasper refuses to help us out? Is it okay if you beg Mr. Plath to help us? After all, he is just as powerful as Jasper is in Country M. Didn’t he make you his goddaughter? I also heard that Mrs. Plath really likes you. Why don’t you beg her to help us out?”

Victoria’s mother was standing outside her door and pleading hard to her daughter.

The Dawn Corporation was experiencing a capital chain rupture. If this crisis was not solved, the Dawn family would no longer be able to hold on to their power in Sea City.

“Can I have some quiet time!?” Victoria growled at her mother as she lay seated in her room.

Her name was Victoria Dawn, and she was a beautiful woman who was born into a rich and powerful family. She was one of the top socialites in Sea City who was also envied by many.

Not only did she have Jasper Miller chasing after her, but Mr. Alaric Plath from Country M had also announced the fact that she was his goddaughter to the public.

After Summer was “kidnapped and dismembered”, the Plaths were incredibly heartbroken. Victoria knew she looked quite similar to Summer, so she deliberately acted like Summer in front of them. They would never have taken a liking to her otherwise.

She had worked very hard for everything she possessed and for her status in society today. She must...

She must not let anyone know of Summer’s existence. She absolutely must not let anyone know that Summer Plath was still alive!

The moment the Plaths and that man found out that Summer was still alive...

Everything that she had worked so hard for would instantly turn into ashes!

Her eyes slowly darkened. Victoria anxiously whipped out her cell phone, and with trembling fingers, she tapped on a phone number that she had blocked prior to this.

“Didn’t you guys say that you had already killed Summer Plath? Why is she still alive and well?

“I want her to die!”

......

At Summer’s rented house.

The boyfriend Summer talked about never arrived, and the delinquents, who had been a little cautious earlier, were becoming cockier and more fearless.

“So, where’s your boyfriend? Yo, take a look at me. Why don’t you make me your boyfriend?”

Summer hugged herself tightly and had her head lowered. The tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks as she gazed at her cell phone. Jasper had just hung up on her.

She would never be able to fool other people. The only person she was fooling was herself.

Boyfriend?

To Jasper, she was merely an idiot and a plaything.

She was biting her lower lip so hard that it had started to bleed, and her clothes had already been torn apart by the delinquents.

......

“Summer, who do you think you are? Are you seriously throwing a tantrum in front of me? I’m not keeping you here just so that you can act like a spoiled princess!”

......

Whenever Summer was upset, it would show on her face. But every time that it happened, Jasper would bully her with no mercy, insult her, and ask her to have sex with him time and time again.

She always ended up asking him for forgiveness. She knew that she was wrong.

Ever since then, no matter what Jasper would do to her, she did not dare try to retaliate anymore.

“Come on, let me touch you.”

The young delinquents were starting to touch her in an inappropriate manner, and Summer was crying as she shoved them away.

*Bang!* Even though Summer had picked up a brick, she did not manage to hit any of the delinquents with it, and one of them ended up grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head against the wall.

Summer instantly felt dizzy, and she helplessly dropped down onto the ground.

Her head was in so much pain that it felt as if it was exploding, and for a fleeting moment, random memories began to surge into her mind.

“Sum, come home with me…”

“Who?”

Whose voice was that?

Who was bringing her home?
