Summer glanced at the files and frowned slightly.โSplit personality disorder is scientifically known as a dissociative disorder and is also known as dissociative identity disorder. Its clinical symptoms and course of disease are closely related to traumatic experiences. During clinical assessments, you will see signs of acute stress reactions and PTSD.โAfter taking a deep breath, Summer stood up straight. "Madam Rogers, what is the meaning of this?""Split personality, to a certain extent, means that within your body... lives two souls. One is an angel, and the other is a demon." Rose smiled and continued, "I guess the angel has fallen, and the demon now controls everything.""Madam Rogers, have you watched too many movies, or have you gotten yourself too involved after doing too much psychological analysis?" Summer sneered.She did not mind talking to Rose to stall for time.She believed that Victor would not be set up so easily.But Rose was still calm and composed, as if sh
Summer felt as if her heart was stabbed. Her fingers were as cold as ice when she hung up.A bloody smell spread in a back alley of West City Street, and several corpses were lying scattered on the ground.Victor sneered and looked up at the man who was going to kill him. As he expectedโฆ his own people betrayed him again. "Does Rose know how to use any other tricks besides this one?""Sir, I'm sorry, I was pulled in by the progression of events. The madam will inherit everything from the family. Iโm just following the will of Heaven," the man said nonchalantly as he held the blood-stained knife firmly. "I hope youโll be reborn into a good family in your next life.โ"Do you think someone like me will have another life?" Victor sneered and stopped struggling. He was not this person's opponent.Bang! There was a muffled sound.The person in front of him who was about to kill Victor fell to the ground.Victor looked at the man standing behind the man in amazement. He was startled
"From what I see, there is no need to wait any longer," an old man said coldly from a sofa not far away.Summer glanced at the person; he should be an elder in the family.These elders sought nothing but personal gain. As long as they were given profit and as long as they were given the promise that they were able to enjoy their old age, they would be easily swayed."Sir, why are you in such a hurry?" Summer said with a smile, and continued with an implicit statement, "Choosing a family heir is equivalent to choosing your life during your old age. Victor is a pure blood and someone you watched growing up. But Ben is still young, and it is uncertain into whose hands this real power will fall into in the future. Youโre old, and you have nothing. Youโre just a burden... Victor can give you a chance to enjoy your life in retirement, but others may not. After all, she is a woman who can even use her own son."Rose's eyes darkened immediately as she motioned to the lawyer to read the res
Victor had no chance of winning right now."In that case...I have no chance of winning?" Victor said with a smile and did not seem very flustered. "I don't care if I get to become the head of the house or not. I came back this time for a reason... and I know that some people don't plan to let me leave alive. I just want to know one thing."Victor had the cynical look on his face fade away. He took a deep breath and stood up while he stared straight at the lawyer.The lawyer was a little frightened because of his stare. He nervously wiped off his cold sweat. "Young Master Victor, what do you want to know?""Before he died, what were his last words?" Victor had always been reluctant to believe and admit that his father, whom he had been longing to receive love and protection from since he was youngโฆ would really be so cruel as to want his children to kill each other.If he really thought so, then fine... he would fulfil his wish, and he would just pretend that he was returning the l
Of course, she knew that Victor threw her at Sea City, but in a sense, they were just plotting against each other.She was the real culprit behind the scenes.So, she was scared. She was really afraid. If Victor could not inherit the position of the head of the family and if Rose succeeded, then she and the people behind mastermind would have greater bargaining chips.By then, Jasper would really be alone and helpless in Sea City."If it's just a contract and a cooperation agreement, then there are still people in Sea City who meet the conditions for cooperation. Can Yadon's Ocean Shipyard Corporation also support Victor?" Jasper said nervously. He felt the person in his arms trembling.He admitted he had lost his memories, but he had never seen Summer like this.Even in his memory, Summer was just a timid little fool with amnesia."Mr. Miller, it's too late now." The lawyer shook his head."Wait..." Outside the door, Victor's subordinates rushed in. "Young Master, thereโs some
โImpossible? Do you think that I donโt know that you bribed my study partner to poison me, or the fact that used the same method to bribe Jamesโ study partner and let me harm James?โ Victor smiled. He was worrying for Ivan and wanted to end this as soon as possible. โLawyer, so, it seems like I am the head of the family now, right?โThe elders were frightened and dazed. They were speechless for quite some time. How could this be...?โDidnโt you sayโฆ?โ A few of them blamed Rose. Wasn't she the one who said that her plan was perfect?โShut up!โ Rose yelled coldly. Her expression was gloomy.She had planned this for so many years and even got pregnant for ten months and gave birth to the IVF baby, Ben! The suffering she had gone through for so many years turned into a gift for Victor in the end?She could not accept this!โWhat? You still have some hidden trick?โ Summer registered what had happened. She smiled and asked. โSummer, do you think that I canโt do anything to all of y
What Alaric sent him was a congratulatory gift!Alaric had prepared the gift so quickly. This meant that he knew this would happen. Both Alaric and his father were as cunning as foxes.Perhaps that was the reason both of them fought for their entire lives in the business world in Country M. [Victor, the position of the head of family belongs to you. From the beginning, your father wanted you to succeed him and become the head of the family. But he was worried that you would walk down his footsteps. He did not want to become the head of family at all. If it werenโt because the people in his generation were too vicious and he ended up being the only one who survived, he would not want to carry the burden of the family. You donโt understand him. He didnโt want to see you because he had reasons that tormented him.]Alaric left some messages to Victor, and the words showed how resigned he felt.Victor was not sure why Alaric knew his fatherโs thoughts so well. Both his father and Al
โImpossible!โ Jasper had decided to be unreasonable. He would never divorce Summer, or at least, he would never divorce Summer before he gained back his memories. โWhy? If you donโt like me, why are you keeping me by your side?โ He did not like her and did not trust her. โI donโt know how many memories I lost and how you were like in my previous memories. But I wonโt be divorcing you now no matter what. I like you...โ After thinking for a while, Jasper still hugged her in his arms.The woman in his arms was his wife. He would not be embarrassing himself even if he said that. Summer had been trembling in anger, but now, her body slowly stiffened. She was shocked for some time, and her fingers were numb. โWhat did you say?โ โI like you. I like the Little Fool who lost her memories. Iโm only treating Victoria this way because of the childhood memories I have. I donโt have a lot of feelings for her, and I saved her to repay her kindness so that Iโll not owe her anything.โ Jasper t
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.
