Chapter 121

Author: Good Night
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

    Rose was worried that Summer would kick her out of school before the SATs.Of course, it wasn't because she was particularly eager to study.She still hadn't given up on her plans to deal Summer a fatal blow. For the plan to work smoothly, she needed to come back and take part in the SATs like a normal student and naturally participate in the school's post-graduation events.If she didn't return to school, Summer would definitely suspect things if she suddenly appeared during those activities.In order for her not to be expelled, Rose had taken the initiative to spread rumors at school that Summer had harmed her. Then, she deliberately played the victim in front of their classmates.That way, it would definitely spark public outrage if Summer still tried to get her expelled.Rose thought about how much Summer had caused her to suffer in silence, and she wanted Summer to get a taste of her own medicine.Summer glanced at Chandler.Why was he following her again?She said coolly

    Rose had accomplished her goal.She stood there pitifully as she tried to explain to the onlookers. "You've all misunderstood. That's not what I meant.""Rose, aren't you afraid that Mason will get angry that you labeled him as someone that has been cheated on?" Summer asked indifferently.Rose froze in place.The surrounding discussions instantly stopped as well."I barely even know him, and I've only exchanged a few words with the transfer student. Next time, try going for something easier if you're going to make things up," Summer said. She tilted her chin toward the crowd. "There are so many people here. If word gets out, what do you think Mason will do considering his personality?"Rose had never even considered that. She only brought up Mason to provoke Summer.Summer walked in front of Rose and casually straightened the latter's crooked collar. After that, she whispered so that only the two of them could hear, "Right. I forgot to ask you at home last time. How are thing

    Rose started to worry after that. How did Summer know about Anthony and her? She had always been careful about keeping it a secret.After the fiasco today, Summer would definitely maintain peace with her on the surface.To ensure her future plans went smoothly, she would need to properly keep her temper in control. Only then would Summer lower her guard.…Summer made her way back to the dormitory. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, someone suddenly ran out of the stairwell and blocked her path."You again?" Summer stared at Chandler, who was panting, and started to lose her patience."Have a chat with me," Chandler said."Not interested," Summer said and tried to leave.He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the stairwell. "Don't scream. You know what people will say if they see us like this."She looked at him.Chandler was definitely up to something. He was completely different from when he was in school."I wasn't planning on screaming. Who exactly are you?" Sum

    After spending time around Summer, Chandler was sure she was just another version of Mason—a cold-blooded, ruthless person that was only driven by profit. She would never truly love someone.She was only with Mason for the sake of his power. The moment Mason fell, she would throw herself into the arms of another man without any hesitation."Let me tell you. Mason won't last much longer." Chandler sneered.He continued, "By the end of this month, he'll be done for. Royal Financial Group will end up in my father's hands. When the time comes, my father will clear out everyone who was secretly aligned with Mason. Hartford Group won't be able to get out of it unscathed."Summer's eyes turned even more frosty. "Royal Financial Group can't even touch Hartford Group with Mason in power. Do you think your father can do it?""Summer, are you really that naive? Back then, Mason was just one step away from acquiring Hartford Group. Even your grandfather, with all his capabilities, could do no

    Summer replied, "It's me. I'm so sorry. I need to speak to Mason, but I don't have his contact information.""Are you in trouble?" Kyle asked."I'm not. Is he not free to take my call?" she asked back."Mr. Hunt is dealing with something right now, and I'm not with him." The voice on the other end sounded vague.Summer's heart sank a bit. "Did something happen?"Kyle immediately answered, "No! If you have a message, you can tell me. I'll pass it on to him the moment he's free.""Just tell him to call me back when he's done," Summer said.She did not know if that person was loyal to Mason or not. That was why she decided not to say anything after some hesitation."Okay." The call ended.Kyle sat in his car and glanced at the massive, shadowed building in the distance. It was the Hunt residence.Mason had been in there for a long time. The Hunt family had been quiet for a while, but for some reason, they were stirring up trouble again recently. They were moving in full forc

    "Ms. Hartford, don't worry. I guarantee that you and Hartford Group will never be implicated in this." Mason's voice grew even more serious on the other end.Summer realized she might have overreacted to it. It was probably because she knew she was very important to Mason.She guessed that those who were favored really did act fearlessly.Wasn't that exactly what she was doing?"It better stay that way." She gritted her teeth, trying to maintain a firm stance.No matter what, she couldn't allow anything bad to happen to her family."I'll deal with Chandler right now," Mason answered.Summer fell silent for a moment. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.""Okay."The call ended.Mason lowered his phone with a terrifyingly cold expression.When Kyle saw it, he couldn't help but shiver. It was like a kind of eerie calm that signaled the coming of a storm."Mr. Hartford, did something happen to Hartford Group?" Kyle asked carefully.Mason looked at Kyle. "Chandler's back

    "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.
