The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 124
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

"Why would someone fake their identity just to enroll in here?" a student asked in surprise."Who knows? Either way, it's pretty shocking."Summer listened quietly as she continued to write with her pen without pause. She quickly finished the paper."Summer, did you get even faster?" Lindsey had barely made it to halfway through when she looked over. There was a sense of defeat when she saw Summer reaching for the next paper."This one's easy," Summer replied.Lindsey was speechless.Easy? Did she not know what easy meant?"Summer, I can't figure out this question no matter how hard I try. Can you take a look?" A girl from the class scooted over to Summer at that moment.Summer glanced at her and took the paper for a look. Then, she quickly wrote down a formula before handing the paper back. "Try this."The girl stared at the formula and suddenly had a moment of realization. "Summer, you're amazing! Thanks!"Summer maintained her usual indifferent expression.Not far away, R

"Yes!" Summer nodded."I heard from Lionel that your ultimate goal is to collaborate with Hartford Group?" Saul asked."That's right," Summer answered."Why Hartford Group? From what I know, they don't have much experience in the field. Compared to them, Royal Financial Group might be a better choice," Saul said.Summer smiled. "I have my reasons, but it's not convenient for me to tell you right now."He nodded and didn't press further. "Don't worry. I'll link up your company with Hartford Group as soon as possible.""When the time comes, I'll make sure to give you a generous commission," Summer replied."Good!" Saul smiled warmly.His words were gentle, and his smile was tender as well. Summer didn't feel any wariness or annoyance with him, unlike with Anthony and Chandler. Was that the difference between someone who was truly kind and someone who was pretending to be?After that, Summer and Saul finalized some details of the proposal. By the time they were done, it was alr

At dinner time, the West family had finally calmed down.Summer had quickly arranged for a professional financial manager to divide and manage the ten million dollars on their behalf."Mrs. West, take a look at this. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I was worried that if you took the whole amount home, it might attract trouble. So, I asked a financial manager to prepare a plan." Summer handed her a copy of the financial plan.She said, "You won't receive the money all at once, but you'll have more than enough for your monthly expenses. The child's education is budgeted with the best resources as well."Bailey looked at it and said, "Ms. Hartford, I know you won't harm us. We don't understand any of this anyway, so whatever you arrange for us is fine."Summer said casually, "Alright! Oh, Dustin, after the funeral, you should stay a few more days. My parents found a top-notch specialist for you. We'll take you for a full-body checkup and get a proper treatment plan going."Bail

Naturally, Phoebe was referring to Mason.Summer chuckled. "You know what kind of mess the Hunt family is in. If Ruddy is polite when he gets there, maybe he'll be fine. But if not, he's in for a beating."Phoebe looked baffled. "What's he going there for anyway? Can an illiterate write out a letter?"Summer was taken aback. "He can't read?"Phoebe said, "That's right. Even writing his own name is a struggle. We actually started school together as kids, but he attended for a day and never came back."Back then, a brick factory had been established in their village. The pay was based on how many bricks one moved.The West family was always broke, so when Ruddy heard that there was money to be made, he quit school and ran off to haul bricks.At first, he did make some cash, but he blew it all by strutting around town like a big shot.Later, when the factory stopped making money, he was already too old to go back to school. So, he went south with a relative to find work.Summer s

Ruddy's face went pale in an instant.Those twin boys were the children he'd had a few years ago with a young woman. After that, he got tired of providing for the family and broke up with her. Hardly anyone knew about it. He hadn't even told his family.He never imagined that Aspen would know about it.Aspen kicked Ruddy hard. "I already looked into everything there is to know about you. You'll do exactly what I tell you. If you stir up any trouble, I'll make sure your whole family is ruined! Get lost, you hillbilly!"Sure enough, Ruddy was beaten up again and tossed to the side of the road.His head started bleeding again, and Ruddy sobbed uncontrollably. He found his phone, which already had a shattered screen, and called Bailey.After Ruddy had gotten thrown out of the Hartford residence, the West family was thrown into chaos.Dustin dropped to his knees in front of Summer and Kristen. "I'm scum! I really am!""Dustin, don't do this! I know what kind of person you are. If

Five million dollars. It was five million dollars.Ruddy's eyes were practically glued to the card.Aspen gave Malcolm an impatient look, and Malcolm handed the pen and paper to Ruddy.Ruddy was taken aback when he saw the pen and paper. "Aren't you supposed to write it, and I just sign it?""It would be better if you wrote it yourself," Malcolm said.Ruddy looked embarrassed. "But I don't know how to write?"Aspen finally lost his patience. He slammed the table and stood up. "What? You're illiterate?""What are you yelling at me for? When did I say I could write? I'm doing you a favor by agreeing to this, and this is how you treat me?" Ruddy didn't care that Aspen was rich at that moment.Aspen was begging him for help, so why should Ruddy tolerate Aspen?"Stop arguing." Malcolm was getting a headache. He never imagined that Ruddy would be illiterate."Fine. I'll have someone print out the content. You can just copy it, right?" Malcolm just wanted this done as quickly as pos

Malcolm looked disgusted. "Got it. We'll get back to you soon."Then, he hung up. "Bastard!" Aspen slammed his hand on the table hard.Malcolm said grimly, "I told you before Paul didn't have many relatives. His parents are both gone, and other than his wife and children, there's only his brother left. The Hartford family is watching the West family closely. "No one answered when I called, so I had to try this guy. Who knew he'd be this stupid?""Is a letter of forgiveness from his biological brother useful?" Aspen asked.Malcolm frowned. "It has some value, but it wouldn't nearly be as effective as getting it from the wife or children.""I don't care. Even getting one is something. Offer him three million dollars." Aspen felt a headache coming on.Malcolm hesitated for a moment. "You really want to pay him? This thug has never treated his brother well before. If the family mentions that in court, this three million dollars might as well go down the drain.""Get that letter

"Go ahead." Summer showed no intention of stopping him.Ruddy was stunned. "I'm not joking around. I really will go."Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead. Also, you were talking so much about inheritance just now. What inheritance? Since when did this ten million dollars count as inheritance?"Ruddy said smugly, "It's still compensation! I get a share either way! I know the law, Ms. Hartford."Summer nodded. "Seems like you got it wrong. This money isn't for Paul.""Don't try to fool me!" Ruddy frowned.Summer turned to gently soothe the baby, who was still sobbing. "Hey little cutie, you shouldn't cry anymore. I gave you a ten-million-dollar gift, and you're still upset? Come on, give me a smile."Everyone widened their eyes in shock."What ten-million-dollar gift? What are you talking about?" Ruddy tried to grab Summer, but Robin stopped him.Summer held the baby's tiny hand. "My grandfather already gave the funeral expenses to Mrs. West. I'm only giving the ten mil

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
