The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 110
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

Even if the Hartford family never mentioned the connection between Rose and Terry, the investigation still eventually led back to Rose.After Rose was kicked out of the Hartford family, she used the little money she had left to rent an apartment.Terry had ruthlessly beaten her up that day. Her bruises on her face hadn't yet fully faded."Ms. Sanderson, we've discovered that you helped the deceased pay off a large gambling debt," the officers said.Rose's face was full of shock. "How could he be dead? When I lent him that money, he promised me he would turn over a new leaf and never gamble again."The two officers exchanged glances. "There's no need to panic. Just answer our questions. Did you lend him that money? That was no small sum. Are you very familiar with him?"Rose lowered her gaze and looked nervous. "He was just a gardener my family hired—a temporary worker. I met him once or twice, so we're not very familiar with each other.""Did he force you to give him that money?

After finishing everything, Rose walked back to the couch and sat down.She never expected Terry's body to be washed downstream.After a brief moment of panic, she suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "So, killing someone is just that easy?"After saying that, she clenched her fists tightly. "Summer, you forced me into this. One day, I'll make sure to pay you back a thousand times over!"…Terry's murder became something of an unspoken understanding among the Hartford family. For an entire day, not a single person brought it up.After having breakfast, Summer found an excuse to leave the house.This time, she drove herself using a small car that was meant for groceries. She headed right to the underground market on the outskirts of the city.It wasn't just computer parts that were sold there. It also served as a hub for virtual transactions.Summer went to the same store as last time. Before she left the house, she had even arranged things with Lionel. When she arrived at the ma

"So, this is the expert you were talking about?" Summer asked.Lionel quickly nodded. "That's right. Saul was the one who did the marketing for that interstellar game last year.""I didn't expect you to be good at this despite your mediocre coding skills." Summer raised an eyebrow slightly.Lionel was taken aback and hurried to explain, "Hey, miss, Saul is…"Saul calmly interrupted him, "My skills aren't great, so if you're willing to teach me, I can give you a discount. How about 30% off?"Lionel blinked at Saul in confusion.What the hell? The big bad wolf was hiding and pretending to be a puppy just to get close to this little fox?Oh, men!"You haven't even seen my work, and you've already decided to take my project?" Summer crossed her arms, showing no excitement over the discount. Instead, she was incredibly cautious."I already saw what you're capable of last time. Besides, didn't Lionel already review your work? He's got a sharp eye. If your design wasn't good, he woul

Saul had just so unexpectedly run into his first love, and the person was X, who drove Terrence out of his mind.This time, she seemed livelier than before. She seemed even more energetic and adorable."You still haven't told me your name," Saul said.Summer thought about it for a moment before she turned and looked at him. "Call me Harvest."Saul was stunned for a moment. That was probably not her real name.He nodded. "Alright, Harvest. Can you show me a demo of the game?""Of course," Summer agreed. Then, she spent over an hour explaining the game to Saul.Summer was incredibly confident in the game.In her past life, Anthony had taken this exact game to Hartford Group. It was a massive success once it launched, making an incredible fortune for the company. Anthony himself basked in the spotlight for a long time.However, when Summer was explaining the game, Saul would occasionally interject with a few questions. From those questions, she realized ways to optimize her gam

"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

"Mason, I'm not doing this for the Fridman family. I'm now a part of the Hunt family as your aunt. Even if you don't want Violet, that's fine. Summer really isn't right for you!" Jane still wore that sincere, gentle expression."Have you ever thought about why a girl with such ambition would want to be with you?" Jane asked.Mason looked at Jane. "That's where you're wrong. Summer wasn't the one who came looking for me. I'm the one who chased after her."Jane was speechless.Who in their right mind would believe that?At that moment, the elevator arrived. Mason didn't say another word to her as he got in the elevator and left.Jane stood in place.She never imagined that everything she had so carefully planned would be thrown off by the Hartford Group heiress who appeared out of nowhere."All that effort, Jane, and you were paving the way for someone else." A flamboyantly dressed woman walked over at that moment.She, too, was one of the many daughters-in-law of the Hunt family

"Tell Grandma I was here," Mason said before he turned to leave.These past few days had been unbearable for Aspen, especially with everything Summer exposed that day.All these years, people had assumed that there had been something between him and Kristen. It had always been something he could brag about, but the truth was exposed to the public today. That last shred of connection he had with Kristen had shattered as well.On top of that, Chandler was about to face serious criminal charges. Aspen felt like his heart was being set on fire."Mason!" he shouted after Mason, but Mason ignored him.Aspen clenched his teeth and rushed toward Mason with a sharp fruit knife in hand.Things had come to a point of no return anyway. If he had nothing left to lose, he might as well drag Mason down with him. If he killed Mason, maybe Royal Financial Group would fall back into Victoria's hands.But Aspen had underestimated Mason too much. His blade didn't even graze Mason. Mason merely gra

In the end, Mason still went to the private hospital that the Hunt family owned. As he stepped out of the elevator, all he saw were members of the Hunt family, gathered in full force.Mason knew exactly what was going on.These people hadn't shown up out of affection. They were just afraid that Victoria might actually die, so they were here early to wait for the inheritance."Mason, what the hell did you do to Grandma?"The moment they saw Mason, they pounced like a pack of wild dogs, but not a single one of them actually dared to touch him.If Victoria did die, Mason's threat level would skyrocket a hundredfold."This is a hospital. Why are you all being so loud?" Mason asked coldly.Jane ran over. "Everyone, calm down. This had nothing to do with Mason. She only got a heart attack because of Ms. Hartford's press conference."After that, Jane looked at Mason. "Mason, everyone's just worried, so they're a bit emotional. Don't take it to heart.""Where is Violet?" Mason asked.
