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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 127
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

"Damn it!" Summer quickly retraced her steps in her mind. Her phone must have fallen out of her bag when she ran out of the car.At that moment, the driver regained his senses and started to chase after her while shouting.She had no choice but to hope she'd run into a pedestrian or a passing car that would stop and help her.Ever since she was reborn, she had been incredibly careful about everything. She never expected she would still fall for a trap today.But who was behind this?The driver realized he couldn't catch up on foot after running for a while. He ran back and drove after Summer instead.Seeing this, Summer ran right into a narrow alley where the car couldn't follow. She was quite unlucky. Even after running for over ten minutes, she hadn't bumped into a single person along the way.Thankfully, no one was chasing her anymore.As she panted, she spotted what looked like flashing police car lights not too far away. She almost cried in relief as she immediately tried

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

"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
