The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 116
"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

The apartment Summer bought wasn't the sort of a dozen units per floor. There were only two units on one floor.When she purchased the place, she had confirmed that the unit across from hers was an investor and had not been occupied in years.So, what was happening now? She had just bought this unit, and the one across from her was sold, too?"Are you the neighbor?" one of the movers greeted her.Summer nodded. "Yes. Did you just move in?""We don't actually live here. My boss owns a renovation company. He bought this unit as a model home to show clients occasionally," that person answered.Summer nodded before she opened the door and entered. There wasn't much noise outside, so she wouldn't be disturbed.She took out the chestnut cake and opened her computer. After she stretched her neck and fingers, she recalled the key points from her discussion with Saul.After that, she quickly drafted a plan for the revision.Summer loved chestnut cake, but if it wasn't made right, it wo

When Summer arrived home, Henry and Luke were still at the company, while Kristen had gone to attend a charity gala. It wasn't until nearly midnight that all three of them returned home one after another.At the company, just like in the past, some people had started to make concerning moves. However, back then, their excuse had been the deaths of Luke and Kristen.Summer didn't know whether changing that outcome would also change anything else."Grandpa, I learned how to make some nice coffee from Phoebe." Summer carried a coffee pot into the study.Henry took off his reading glasses and scolded her a little. "Didn't I tell you never to step into the kitchen? It's so dangerous there. What if you get hurt?""I'm not some porcelain doll! Try it?" Summer sat beside him and poured him a cup of coffee.Despite scolding her, Henry was actually quite happy to drink the coffee his precious Summer made for him.He took a sip and started to sing praises.Summer smiled and casually asked

After pausing for a moment, Summer handed the document back to Henry. "For example, if the person you assigned to investigate this incident was problematic, then how much of this report can be trusted?"Henry was momentarily stunned before he chuckled. "Summer, the person who handled this has been with me for more than ten years."Summer calmly looked at Henry, not arguing with his words.Under her gaze, Henry's smile gradually faded.There was no way he didn't understand what Summer said earlier. Anyone could be a traitor.Henry nodded. "I understand. I'll have Luke look into this again.""Since he's someone close to you, let Dad investigate it quietly," Summer added."Alright," Henry replied.Summer did not dwell on it any longer.The person who wrote this report was, in fact, one of the trusted aides who betrayed Henry back then. This sudden internal unrest in the company was definitely related to those two. Since they hadn't realized anything was off yet, it was the perfec

Rumors of Rose returning to school circulated for two days.On the third morning, Rose actually showed up.It seemed like the school had informed everyone beforehand. So, there was just some curiosity instead of a huge commotion.Rose sat in the corner with her head down, not talking to anyone. She looked like a lonely and pitiful figure.Their classmates would occasionally glance at Summer to gauge her reaction.In the end, Summer had no reaction at all. With her headphones on, she was fully focused on her studying, going through problems at an incredible speed.Lately, Lindsey had been studying with Summer, and she seemed a lot happier. The two of them would compete daily to see who could finish their test papers faster.Summer was incredibly fast.Lindsey never won a single time, but her own problem-solving speed had improved significantly.Saul sent over his marketing proposal during dinnertime.Summer lay on the dormitory couch as she ate her dinner and reviewed it. She

"Summer's too vicious!""Rose must be very strong to come back to school after that.""I support Rose. If she gave up, doesn't that mean Summer got exactly what she wanted?""Honestly, if she didn't have Hartford Group behind her, she'd be nothing. I'd have already taken revenge for Rose."Several girls stood in front of the mirror. Some of them were fixing their makeup while others were adjusting their hair.At that moment, a door behind them swung open. They instinctively glanced at the mirror. And then, they all cried out like they had seen a ghost."Summer? What are you doing here?"Summer walked past them emotionlessly.The girls quickly moved aside.She washed her hands slowly before she said in an indifferent tone, "Next time you gossip behind someone's back, remember to check the stalls first.""Summer, we didn't mean it that way…""Oh? Then, what did you mean? If you want to explain, I'll listen to you seriously." Summer turned to look at them.The girl who spoke

Summer had barely taken a few steps when someone stepped out of the shadows and blocked her path.She took a step back, and when she saw who it was, a look of impatience appeared on her face. "What? Are you still not satisfied after spending a whole day playing the victim? Are you here to put on a live performance for me?"Rose crossed her arms. She had mentally prepared herself to face Summer again. She had reminded herself over and over that she couldn't lose control and to remain composed.Yet…Standing in front of Summer made her realize how difficult that was."Playing the victim? Are you telling me you didn't do that?" Rose asked with a cold sneer."What exactly do you mean?" Summer looked at her. She didn't know what Rose was thinking, but there was no way Rose would get anything out of her.After a moment of silence, Rose continued, "Summer, I have nothing left now. I didn't come here to fight with you. Since you already had your revenge on me, let's just consider the de

"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.
