The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 106
Rose's mind went completely blank under Summer's constant bombardment of questions.When she got her hands on that photo last night, she had thought that Summer wouldn't have any evidence against her. Otherwise, there was no way Summer would have let her run free for so long.She never expected that Summer had everything she needed to completely destroy her.Summer chuckled softly. "As for your claim that I used you to clear my own name, weren't all of the so-called stains on my reputation caused by you in the first place? Shouldn't I be using you to clear my own name?"Rose looked at Summer, furious. "So, it seems like you know everything.""I know far more than you think," Summer said slowly."Summer, you really do know how to put on an act. It's a shame you weren't an actress!" Rose spat."Rose, you harmed Summer, and now, you're acting like she's in the wrong? You're just like that useless father of yours!" Henry said furiously.That was what Rose hated to hear the most. He

Those words felt like a dagger to Rose's heart."You've already been completely exposed. There's nothing more to say, so just get out. From tonight onward, you have nothing to do with the Hartfords," Summer said.Rose thought her threats had scared Summer, and she immediately grew emboldened. "You think you can just kick me out like that? What you said earlier just reminded me. You caused me to lose all my money, and I've been defiled. You should at least compensate me.""How can you be so shameless?" Luke asked in disbelief.They were already being more than merciful by not holding her accountable, and she was still shameless enough to ask for compensation.Rose sneered. "You can say whatever you want. I don't want much. Get me a standalone villa and three million dollars in cash. Since you're kicking me out, I need to survive myself. I need to eat and have a place to live. This amount is nothing to you anyway."Summer suddenly laughed.Rose eyed her with caution. "What are you

Was severing ties with Rose a negative move for the Hartfords? Strictly speaking, it wasn't. Back then, Summer had faced the press for Rose's sake, which made it clear that the Hartford family supported Rose. So, why would they suddenly sever ties with Rose now?This question alone would spark a lot of discussion.But no matter how much discussion it stirred, it wouldn't affect the Hartford family at all.On the other hand, Rose, who had always flaunted the Hartford family name outside, would lose their protection. She would be having a miserable time ahead."Are you just going to let her go crazy like this?" Rose was on the verge of breaking down thinking about how much she would be affected after they severed ties.Henry looked at Rose in disgust. "Summer is right! Since you think we only showed you kindness and raised you for the outside world to see, then we'll just sever our ties with you. The Hartfords won't take advantage of you any longer!""You're insane! You're all in

Kristen held Summer's hand tightly. "You should be just like this from now on. If anyone bullies you, don't endure it. Fight back! But you can't take these risks anymore. You have to tell us, okay?""Okay." Summer nodded."What do we do with the gardener?" Luke asked.Since they weren't pursuing the matter with Rose anymore, the question of what to do with Terry became an issue.Summer raised an eyebrow slightly. "Let him go.""Wouldn't we be going too easy on him if we just did that?" Henry objected."Bad people will always be dealt with by other bad people," Summer said meaningfully.The three adults exchanged confused glances with each other. But in the end, they did as Summer said and released Terry.Rose was thrown out of the Hartford residence in broad daylight. There were a lot of people passing by. Thus, she suppressed the anger inside her, stopping herself from yelling."Summer, just you wait!" She glared fiercely at the Hartford residence one more time before she tur

The Hartford family's statement was released very quickly. The message was simple and direct, stating that they were officially severing ties with Rose effective immediately.Since Rose had been at the center of public controversy, the news started trending by evening.Henry was visibly shaken after he learned everything, and Summer was by his side the whole day.Summer knew that both her parents and Henry had treated Rose genuinely. They raised her as if she were a true part of the family.When the night was about to fall, Rose responded to the family's statement on social media."She dared to post a reply? Did she try to slander you again?" Henry asked angrily.Summer glanced at the post with a hint of mockery in her eyes. "She wouldn't dare."After that, she handed the phone to Henry.Henry read the post, and his eyebrows furrowed even more.The post read, "I apologize for taking up public attention due to my personal matters. I'm truly grateful for all the care and educati

Summer thought for a moment before accepting the friend request."What do you want?" Summer asked.Chandler's reply came quickly. "Are you sick?"Summer responded, "Yeah, do you need something?""I'm just checking on you. Is it serious?" Chandler wrote.Chandler seemed like a well-behaved and harmless guy. He was the type that many women would like.Yet, for some reason, even just reading his concerned message made Summer think of Anthony from her past life.She found herself losing patience.Summer decided to just toss her phone on the bed, ignoring Chandler's messages.Meanwhile, Chandler sat on a plush couch with his legs crossed. There was deafening music blasting around him, and beside him were two scantily clad women."Not replying anymore?" he mused when he didn't get a reply from Summer after a while.The smile on his face slowly disappeared."Mr. Hunt, since it's your first time here, we can't let you leave without getting properly drunk!" One of the women slinked

"What happened after that?" Summer asked."It looks like Mr. Sutton's mother wanted to bring the baby over to continue causing trouble, but his mother-in-law wasn't going to allow it," Lindsey continued."I see." Summer nodded.In the end, one's mother would always have her daughter's best interests at heart."How can that old lady be so awful? Why hasn't she been arrested yet?" Lindsey muttered.Summer didn't answer her, and Lindsey didn't continue, either. Instead, Lindsey quickly packed up her textbooks and moved to sit beside Summer.…During their break, news of Summer moving into the dormitories quickly spread throughout the school.Somehow, by the end of the day, more and more people decided they wanted to stay at the dormitories to focus on the SATs.After school, Summer carried her things and headed toward the dormitory. Halfway there, Chandler appeared beside her."Why are you following me?" she asked bluntly."I'm not following you. I'm staying in the dorms, too,"

Those rich heirs already had their futures arranged by their families, so they never cared much about the SATs. Yet, looking at how Summer, the heiress of Hartford Group, was studying like her life depended on it, they were unknowingly influenced and pulled into it as well.Just like that, Friday night arrived.The senior students were now required to attend study sessions in the evening. The study session ended around 9:00 pm, and Robin was already waiting to pick up Summer and send her home.As their car pulled up to the house, two police cars arrived at almost the same time. Summer looked over before she opened the car door and stepped out."Officers, can I help you with anything?" she asked politely.Four police officers got out of the cars and showed Summer their identifications. "Miss, are your guardians home?"Summer brought them inside.Henry rushed over from the study after one of the housekeepers notified him."What happened to Summer?" he asked anxiously as he rush

Summer added, "Another example. You happily get home and reach your building when suddenly, some lunatic jumps out of nowhere with a knife. He slashes through everyone, not leaving a single one of you left."She shrugged. "Or maybe you make it home safe. But in the middle of the night, when everyone's sound asleep, there's a gas leak. Or better yet, a fire. Everything's gone in a blaze, just like that. Stories like that pop up among rich families all the time. You can give it a shot if you don't believe me.""Quit trying to scare me! I'm fearless!" Ruddy thumped his chest."Paul was a good man who had been nice to my whole family. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I believe I've shown more than enough sincerity. As for what you choose, I won't interfere," Summer said calmly as she motioned for someone to open the door.Seeing this, Ruddy rushed forward and pulled his relatives to leave. "Come on. Let's go first. We'll talk about it among ourselves later.""If you want to leave,

Bailey had never been one to make decisions.Her two sons had their own difficulties as well. They didn't want to betray the truth behind Paul's death, but Ruddy had a point. Pauh was gone, and the living had to carry on."Ms. Hartford, my uncle is right. This is a family matter. I think we should handle it ourselves," the eldest son, Dustin West, said with great difficulty.Bailey looked at him in shock, then lowered her head silently."I understand. We all have our own burdens." Summer didn't blame him.Only those who had truly suffered understood how hard it was to make choices in the midst of hardship."Come on, let's go! The lawyer's still waiting. As long as we sign the letter, that ten million dollars is ours!" Ruddy urged eagerly."Bailey, you really need to think this through! You're doing Paul so wrong here!" Phoebe felt like crying.Summer said, "If it's for the money, you don't need to leave. Paul died because of me, so I was planning on compensating you anyway.""

Summer didn't have much of an expression on her face as she walked down slowly.But Phoebe explained anxiously, "Let's not even talk about whether the ten million dollars is real or not. Ruddy, that's your brother's life! Are you really going to be the kind of person to take money in exchange for his life?""What's it got to do with you? You're already siding with this family anyway!" Ruddy glared at the lavish interior of the Hartford residence. "Just look at this place. Is this how you all make your money?"Ruddy's last sentence had been aimed at Kristen, it was obvious he knew that Kristen was the lady of the house.Summer walked over to Kristen and said, "Mr. West, what's the rush? You didn't even bother with basic manners before coming in, and you started shouting the moment you entered. Don't you think that's a bit out of line?"She looked at Bailey's arm and saw that her wrist was red from being grabbed too hard. "Why don't you let go of Mrs. West's hand first? Her wrist is

"I got it." Summer knew that going head-to-head with the Hunt family this time must have caused Mason to be caught in the middle of some immense pressure and criticism.So, she didn't want him to worry about her too much.Chandler's incident had stirred massive public attention following Summer's live stream. In the next two days, more and more people were speaking out online.The police department responsible for the investigation was finally compelled to issue a statement, promising a lawful and thorough investigation into the case.Paul's family had rested at the Hartford residence for a day before they started to recover a little."We won't hold the funeral here. Our family back home is already handling the arrangements," said Paul's wife, Bailey Oak. Her eyes were still swollen from crying.Kristen nodded. "Alright. Don't worry. Mr. West has worked with our family for over ten years. He was practically one of us, so we'll make sure to take care of your family in the future."

"You know how vicious the Hunt family can be. Back then, I…" Kristen instinctively pressed her hand to her lower abdomen with an expression of grief. "I'm afraid of losing another child."Luke had an expression that was full of heartache. He gently pulled Kristen into his arms. "That won't happen. From now on, we will face everything together. We'll definitely protect Summer."Can I really do that?" Kristen's tears fell uncontrollably.Back then, she thought she could protect the child in her belly, too. But in the end…Luke said firmly, "You can. You definitely can. My wife has always been the strongest person I know!""Yes." Kristen nodded as she leaned against his shoulder.They had never spoken of that pain over the past 20 years. This was the first time. Summer's actions today had been like a key that unlocked this long-suppressed wound in Kristen's heart.Neither of them knew that Summer hadn't gone to sleep, either. She stood at the window in her room and could just see th

"Something like that happened?" Rosanna looked shocked. She had been locked up at the time.Jane sighed deeply. "I just heard about it, too. The kidnappers told her not to go to the police. They said they'd kill the kids if she did. In the end, she didn't report it and ended up paying 70 million dollars in ransom."Jane sighed again. "But she ran into some real monsters. After they got the money, they sent her a location to get the kids. When she got there, all she saw were their decomposing bodies!"Rosanna covered her mouth. "Oh, my God! Did they catch the kidnappers in the end?"Jane shook her head regretfully. "They were professionals, so how could anyone catch them? She lost her money and her children. Mrs. Mills fell seriously ill and is still in the hospital.""Those kidnappers are truly heartless!" Rosanna said."They were only missing for three days. Based on the state of the bodies, the kids were probably killed the moment they were kidnapped," Jane said.As Rosanna lis

Jane always outshone Rosanna in every way, so how could Rosanna possibly like her?Jane said softly, "Rosanna, I know you don't like me, but you're still family. I know you're just a straightforward and blunt person. You've never meant me any harm.Rosanna rolled her eyes internally at that. Jane couldn't be more wrong."I don't want you and Aspen to get divorced." Jane helped Rosanna sit down and crouched to examine her ankle. "It's sprained. I'll call a doctor.""No!" Rosanna was incredibly vulnerable at that moment.A vulnerable person's greatest weakness was someone being gentle to them.Jane frowned. "How could you not see a doctor? Just wait here. I'll go quietly. I'll make sure no one notices and bring the doctor over. No one will find out."After a pause, Jane continued, "I won't tell anyone about the divorce, either."Rosanna's ankle was throbbing with pain. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Don't tell everyone!"Jane smiled gently and went off to find the doc

"As lawyers, we only need to achieve the desired outcome for our client. Nothing else matters," Malcolm said.The assistant fell silent.Aspen slumped down onto the hospital bed, looking defeated, while Rosanna sobbed uncontrollably."Enough crying. Go check on Mom," Aspen said impatiently.Rosanna choked out, "I refuse! Your mother never liked me to begin with. With what happened to Chandler, both of us are responsible as his parents, but your mother will definitely only blame me! You can go if you want!"After that, Rosanna grabbed her purse."Where are you going?" Aspen asked."I'm going to figure out a way to save my son!" Rosanna snapped and started to walk off.Aspen grabbed her arm. "I'm warning you. Don't go after Kristen again! This has nothing to do with her!""Kristen, Kristen! She's all you care about, even now. Her daughter stood there and humiliated you in front of everyone, making you out to be some creepy stalker, and you're still defending her?" Rosanna finally

"Chandler from that certain all-powerful family underwent a psychological evaluation every six months at his school abroad. Just over two months ago, when he had just returned to the country, he had one done. "His mental state is fine. You parents might've been driven crazy by anger, but not him."There was a frenzy online.The original post was quickly deleted, but people had already saved screenshots of all the relevant documents.Inside the Hunt residence, Aspen's hand was wrapped in gauze when he heard what the lawyer had to say. He exploded on the spot. "Who leaked something this private? Check with Chandler's school! I'm suing them! Every last person who leaked it!"The lawyer said gravely, "I've already checked. The school's digital database was hacked. Mr. Hunt, I told you yesterday to maintain a good line of communication with the victim's side. If you did, there might have been a chance for settlement. Why did you hire online trolls to spread lies?"The lawyer added, "N
