At Casper’s house...Ace put on a bathrobe and sat on the sofa unhappily. He had not encountered something like this before. The foam from the shampoo was still in his hair, and he looked so helpless. When Summer reached home, she saw Ace’s face and it was as if the words, ‘I am annoyed,’ were written all over it. “What happened?” Summer felt amused. This was the first time she saw such a funny expression on Ace's usually serious and strict face. “The heater is spoiled. Casper is trying to fix it now. Mr. Finch is unhappy about this...” Jen whispered carefully as she ran to Summer’s side. Summer tried not to laugh. She covered her mouth with her hands and tugged on Jasper. She was trying to warn Jasper not to agitate Ace because he would hold a grudge...But how could Jasper let this opportunity go to waste? He went toward Ace. “Casper Synder, what happened? Go and buy the most expensive mineral water so Mr. Finch can wash his hair.”Ace’s expression darkened when he looke
“It’s okay... I can...” Jen grabbed Jasper’s arms nervously. “This concerns my family. So, I want to know about it.”Casper remained silent for a while and nodded. Jen needed to grow up. “Hanna’s mother was sexually assaulted after breaking up with your father. She was aggrieved and went back to look for your father. When she was going back at night, she met some bad guys who…”It was such a coincidence that Hanna’s mother shared a similar experience with Jen.Casper suspected that Hanna was behind Jen’s incident. Summer took a deep breath and looked at Jen nervously. “That’s why... After my incident, the family was in chaos. My parents also agreed to leave...” Jen said softly, and her body was rigid. So, everything had a cause and effect. Even if Jen’s father had not hurt Hanna’s mother, he was also the indirect cause of the incident that happened to Hanna’s mother. Was this a retribution? “Jen, but this matter had nothing to do with you.” Casper comforted Jen. “But C
“Find a place with shade and rest there. Take a look at yourself. You’re crippled, but you still have the time to judge whether or not my wife and I are suitable for each other?” Jasper looked annoyed. He then spoke again, “Aren’t you supposed to be smart? Yet, you didn’t even realize that someone has schemed against you for so long. Go inside the house. Get out of my sight.”With an air of superiority, Jasper regarded Edward’s condition with great condescension. Edward became extremely furious as Jasper criticized him so much that he was rendered speechless.Summer looked at Jasper in astonishment. She did not expect him to… say such scathing words. Every word felt like a stab to the heart. “Edward, Jen is inside.”Summer thought that Edward was here to see Jen. “I’m here… to send you off.” Edward no longer acted arrogant. His temper had quelled after hearing Jasper’s scathing words.“Sum, I’m sorry…” Edward lowered his gaze as he clenched his fists nervously. “I’m sorry… I s
Summer was extremely glad that she was strong enough to come this far. After all, this was the path that she had chosen. She hoped for a bright future.…… Slap! Nieva slapped Alfred forcefully at a cafe in Sea City. Her body was trembling a little and her face was pale. “Alfred, this is how you’re carrying out what I assigned to you? Even after taking my money? Did you take my money to prove that Summer is innocent? Who do you think you are?!”“I’m sorry.” Alfred could only apologize to her quietly. He slid a bank card toward her. “This is the money that you gave me. I didn’t take a single cent. I’m returning it to you.”“Why? You don’t want to work with me now?” Nieva sneered. “Listen, it’s too late. If you escape, I’ll let Summer know about our deal immediately. Then, we’ll see if you can find a way out of it!”“Nieva, I’ve already told Sum. She’s a good person. Chairman Miller truly loves her too. I hope you’ll stop trying to ruin their marriage and family because I know y
Alaric ignored Thomas. No matter what, Thomas had taken advantage of their friendship. Alaric was a very sensible man. He would cross the ocean for his friends. Over the years, he had done his best to look after the Coleman family for Thomas’ sake, even more than his own company.However, in the end, everything turned out to be a lie. Alaric, Gilbert, and Rafferty took years to find him just to make a fool out of themselves. “Don't mess with Rafferty. He’s more stubborn than me. He won’t forgive you.” Rafferty would never forgive Thomas. Not only was Thomas not a good father, but he had also been a huge stumbling block in Rafferty’s life. “Also, don’t provoke the people around him. He has grown up and is no longer a child. Since you’ve not acted like a responsible father, don’t pester him anymore. You don’t have the right to choose who he likes and who he wants to be with.”“That woman doesn’t deserve my child!” Thomas was enraged. “So, you think you deserve him?! You don’t
‘We can only look forward to the future if we forget about the past.’Summer raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight as she enjoyed the view of the wildflowers on the hillside. ‘I might be a wife and a working woman at the same time in the near future. I would need to take care of my wife and my children.’ “Jasper, let’s go to our next stop!”She smiled happily as she pulled Jasper towards their next destination. He took a photo of her as she held his hand. He wanted to remember all the good memories he shared with her. He was not able to do that before, but from this moment on and in the future, he would spend the rest of his life trying to make it up to her. “Let me pick up this call.”Once he was in the car, he picked up Keane’s call. “My wife has already given birth! When will you be back for your wedding?!”Jasper covered his ears. He almost went deaf. “Who do you think you’re lying to? We’ve only spent six months in Mountain City.”Keane laughed. It
“Keane called?” Summer was taking pictures of the small wildflowers by the roadside. “Yes. He’s asking us to hurry home.” Jasper smiled as he walked toward her. ‘I’ll handle this matter myself.’He did not want to worry Summer before the wedding. “Oh, yeah. He said that Alfred will be returning to his home country and that he doesn’t plan on staying in Sea City.” Jasper did not want to hide this from Summer too.“Aww…” There was a hint of disappointment in her gaze. A talented man like him should stay in Sea City. “It looks like I’ll need to multitask again.”She planned to invite Alfred to work with her after her wedding. “Is he really that important?” Jasper was a little jealous. “Not really. It’s true that there are geniuses everywhere. I just feel that as much as Plath Corporation needs me, it needs Alfred too. After what happened, I can trust that Alfred will be able to carry out his tasks excellently. He can lessen my burdens at work. With that, I’ll be able to dedicat
Everything will turn out for the better.Everyone will be fine.......At Coleman Corporation..."Aiden, does he still refuse to see me?" Thomas asked in a low voice. He sounded a bit frail.Aiden nodded with his hands behind his back."Please visit him on my behalf and buy some mother and baby care supplies..." Thomas gave in. Alaric was right, no one was unworthy of anyone. As long as Rafferty liked her, that was enough.Aiden was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Thomas would compromise and accept Azula.Azula's past was terrible, and she was also a woman with a dark history. Aiden could understand where Thomas was coming from. After all, Rafferty was his own son."Okay." Aiden nodded."Aiden..." Thomas spoke again when he saw that Aiden was leaving, "You have been serving me for so many years, do you regret it? Working with me... has made Rafferty misunderstand you. Neither of you may even be friends...""We will still be friends. This will never change." Aide
