Chapter 129

Author: Good Night
"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

    "Alright! Mr. Hunt is about to get started. Everyone, back off!" The man with the swollen eyes sneered before he motioned for Chandler's bodyguards to step aside.Summer refused to give up. The moment the guards dispersed, she fled toward the exit."Where do you think you're going?" Chandler yanked the rope around her wrists, causing her to slam onto the ground.Her arm hit the concrete hard, sending a wave of pain through her body. Summer suddenly felt her mind go blank with the pain.After that, she looked up to see Chandler unbuckling his belt. "You have two choices tonight. Either you get on your knees and beg for mercy, or I'll make sure you die here."After that, Chandler lunged at Summer.At that moment, an intense beam of light shone in.Chandler looked over.Against the harsh glare, a tall figure quickly walked over."Who the fuck are you?" Chandler snapped, feeling incredibly annoyed at the interruption.But as the figure stepped closer and became clearer, Chandler

    "Wait for me in the car," Mason said in a low voice."What are you going to do?" Summer grabbed his hand.She could feel Mason's anger and was afraid he might lose control and kill Chandler."I'm going to cut off his hands!" he gritted out."Mason, I don't want your family conflict to escalate because of me. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer in the end will be me and Hartford Group," Summer said seriously.Mason's gaze instantly darkened."My hands hurt." She softened her tone.He frowned. A moment later, he reached over and buckled her seatbelt.As he passed her, Summer could feel Mason trembling, surprising her greatly. After all, Mason wasn't the type to lose his composure over something like this.Closing the door, Mason turned and walked toward the driver's side.At that moment, Chandler's men came rushing out, carrying Chandler who was already conscious."Mason!" Chandler screamed hoarsely.Mason stopped in his tracks as he looked at Chandler coldly."You'd go this

    Mason thought for a moment before turning the car around and heading in a different direction."Where are we going? There's a pharmacy up ahead," Summer asked in confusion."Your apartment," he replied.Summer felt an urge to pull her hair out. Why had she been so stupid and brought Mason to her secret hideout on a whim last time? Now, he knew the way by heart.Her apartment wasn't far away. With the roads being clear at night, they arrived in about ten minutes.Mason opened the door and instinctively reached out to carry her.Summer hurriedly said, "My legs aren't weak anymore."He gave a small nod before stepping back.After she got out, Mason went to the trunk and pulled out a large case."What's that?" Summer asked cautiously."A medical kit," Mason answered."That big?" Summer's eyes widened.Most people's first-aid kits were just small square boxes, but Mason's looked more like a 24-inch suitcase."Upstairs." Mason was really angry that night.Even when he was upset

    So, could Summer really blame Mason? Could she blame him for saving her that night? Wouldn't that just be ungrateful?"I'll be more careful myself." Summer let out a sigh.She had been too careless tonight. If she had known, she'd just have asked Saul to drop her off near her school."You haven't answered me. Why were you out so late?" Mason pressed."Don't pry into my business. Did I ask you about why you were trapped at home?" Summer shot back without thinking.Probably because of what happened in her past life, she naturally felt safer when she was around Mason. She tended to let her guard down around him.Mason didn't even lift his head. After finishing with her wrist, he carefully applied medicine before wrapping it gently in soft gauze.He said, "Royal Financial Group started off as a luxury brand. After I took over, I expanded into other industries. Now, my uncles want to separate the original business from the rest, leaving me with only the newer ventures.""My grandpa

    "It's not related." Summer shook her head.Mason stared at her. "It looks like it is. Laugh all you want. There's no need to hold it in.""Anyway, my grandpa can't find out about this injury." Summer swallowed her laughter and put on a serious face.Mason continued to look at her. The smile had faded from his face, but Summer's eyes were still bright with amusement. It greatly soothed the anger, fear, and anxiety that Mason had been feeling since he found her.He finally looked away and put the medical supplies back into the box. "I understand. Come over after school every day. I'll change your dressing."Summer shook her head. "There's no need to trouble yourself so much. It's just some scraped skin. I'll handle it myself. I'm not planning on wearing the bandages to school tomorrow. That's basically announcing to the whole world that I got hurt."Mason frowned. "That won't do.""If I say it's fine, then it's fine," Summer said firmly."If you don't behave, I might have to ask

    "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.
