"It's nothing." Rose lowered her head, but her voice didn't seem convincing at all."There's no one else here. You can take your time and tell me," Janice reassured her.Rose had met Janice a few times before.Janice had always seemed very polite, but it was a detached kind of politeness that kept people at an arm's length. She was actually showing concern for Rose now?Rose knew exactly what was going on—Janice was targeting Summer.And coincidentally, she was just looking for a way to attack Summer, too.Even though Power Construction wasn't as powerful as Hartford Group, they didn't rely on the latter to survive. They were strong in their own right.Wasn't that a perfect weapon?Rose quickly fabricated a story, saying that a boy Summer liked had fallen for her instead. Then, she said that Summer had taken revenge out of jealousy."That's outrageous!" Janice fumed. "She's so young, and she's already seducing men everywhere!" Rose glanced at her. "It'd be one thing if she w

Rose had just been wallowing in her shame and anger, but she had gotten herself a new ally. Her mood finally lifted a little.When she returned to the classroom, she glanced at Summer. Just thinking about what Summer would face soon was enough to extinguish most of the anger that was burning inside her.Summer noticed Rose's return as well. But Rose seemed different from what she expected.By now, Rose should have gone to confront Anthony, and the two of them were almost certain to have a falling out. Yet, Rose seemed quite smug at that moment.…The weather had been getting hotter and hotter lately. The entire day passed with Anthony going through two papers and everyone sweating over new ones.In the blink of an eye, the evening self-study ended.After packing up her things, Summer was the last to leave the classroom as usual. The moment she stepped out, Anthony appeared in front of her."Summer, are you hungry? I heard the late-night canteen here is really good. Since you ac

Anthony dragged Rose deep into a secluded grove.Rose's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at him. She gritted her teeth and asked, "A woman like me? What kind of woman am I? Anthony, do you really not know why I became this sort of woman? You're so heartless!""That's enough!" Anthony had run out of patience.He asked Rose impatiently, "How many times do I need to tell you that this is all part of my strategy? Don't you see that Summer's attitude toward me has changed?"Rose let out a cold laugh. "Anthony, when did you become so naive? I already told you earlier. Summer knows everything. There's no way she'll ever like you!""If you hadn't been running your mouth in front of her, she would have!" he spat out.He knew that Summer liked him. Especially after their conversations today. Every moment of hesitation and doubt Summer had was connected to Rose. If Rose wasn't standing in the way, would he even need to work this hard?"I never told her anything. Summer guessed it all he

It was about time, so Summer leisurely strolled out of the elevator and headed straight to her dorm room. After she unlocked the door with her fingerprint and pushed it open, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.She quickly slipped inside and shut the door behind her."What? Is someone chasing you?" Mason looked up at her while he sat comfortably on her small couch. His handsome face was full of innocence."Why are you in my room?" Summer set her books down and walked to him."Yesterday, I agreed you didn't have to leave campus to tend to your wounds, but it still needs to be treated. Since you can't go out, I had to come in." Mason rested one arm on the back of the couch, maintaining his upward-looking posture. He sounded completely justified.Summer stomped her foot in frustration. "I know how to change my own bandages! Mason, you…"She dragged on for a while but couldn't find the words to say."You got hurt because of me, so I have a responsibility to take care of you

"Just an ordinary high school girl?" Mason raised an eyebrow.For some reason, Summer felt guilty for a second. "Why are you talking so much? You've treated my wounds, so you can go now."Mason tidied up the table slowly. "I have to wait a little. You just got back, so your bodyguards will be extra cautious. Give it a bit of time."Summer wanted to argue, but he wasn't wrong. She waved him off in resignation. "Whatever. Just don't disturb me studying.""Okay!" He nodded, looking unnaturally obedient for someone like him.Summer was exasperated.She had just sat down when the bell rang. Then, she immediately sprang up from her chair."Not a sound!" She shot a fierce glare at Mason and warned him in a low voice.Mason nodded and stayed silent.Summer immediately hurried to the intercom screen. When she looked at the display, she nearly had a heart attack.It was the middle of the night, but all three members of her family were there."Is Summer asleep?" Henry wondered after a

"It was just an accident," Summer replied.Meanwhile, Henry was still wandering around the dorm and had now made his way into Summer's tiny kitchen.Kristen asked in a low voice, "Summer, I heard that Rose returned to school. Did you two…"Summer suddenly understood everything.No wonder they came to school so late. It seemed like they had just found out about Rose returning to school and were worried about her. That was why they rushed over in the middle of the night.Kristen's words had a clear implication to them.Rose had just returned, and Summer's phone broke. Could those two things be connected?Summer shook her head. "It wasn't her. She wouldn't dare.""Do you remember what you promised me before this? Don't hide anything from us," Kristen said sternly."It really wasn't her," Summer responded while keeping an eye on Henry. It seemed like Henry really was going to inspect every corner of the dorm."Grandpa, stop pacing around. Come sit down and have some water," Summe

"I've just been doing too many practice papers lately. My wrist was feeling sore," Summer said, looking pitiful."Why are you working so hard? I don't need you to get perfect scores. You're overworking your little hands!" Henry's heart ached."Senior year is like this for everyone. Dad, we agreed that we can't spoil her," Kristen chastised.Henry huffed in frustration."Does it hurt a lot?" Luke asked."It's alright. The bandages are like a wrist brace, so it feels much better," Summer admitted honestly.Mason's bandage was honestly useful. The fabric was soft, and it was waterproof and breathable."I'll bring you something even better tomorrow," Luke said."Thanks, Dad!" Summer replied."No. She should just come back home…" Henry couldn't bear it anymore."Dad, we agreed not to disrupt Summer's routine. Just look at her schedule. She has to wake up at 5:00 am tomorrow. She barely has time to sleep. Let's not disturb her. We can reward her properly after the SATs," Kristen sa

Summer had been furious at first, but her anger disappeared when she saw Mason curled up in her wardrobe like that. She grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it at his head. "What are you squatting in there for? Get out!"Mason caught the pillow and stepped out of the wardrobe.Summer snarled at him. "Who let you throw my clothes everywhere? Get out! Out!"As she said that, she began picking up the scattered clothes with a headache.Mason didn't leave. Instead, he stood there and watched. "I can help.""Do you know how to fold clothes?" She glanced at him.He shook his head. "But it's just folding clothes. It shouldn't be hard."Summer picked up a dress and handed it to him. "Go ahead and fold this."A moment later, Mason stared at the horribly folded dress in his hands with a look of confusion on his handsome face. Why was it so messy?Summer sighed. "You should forget about it. My grandpa was acting strange just now. He doesn't usually enter my room without permission.

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.

"Mr. Hunt, is Ms. Hartford seriously that fierce?" Kyle was stunned after watching the live stream."She is." Mason nodded."But won't her attitude cause you a lot of trouble?" Kyle asked.Mason seemed completely composed. "It's a good thing. This gives me the perfect excuse to tear off that fake peaceful facade in the Hunt residence. I won't have to go back there anymore.""Where did Ms. Hartford even get all the evidence from?" Kyle wondered.Kristen and the others were wondering that at home as well."Summer, getting the footage from the school is one thing, but where did you get the other stuff?" Henry asked, pointing to the case files and mediation records Summer had shown during the press conference."Yeah, I don't even have those myself," Kristen said emotionally.She had never imagined that this matter could ever be cleared up. In fact, one of the reasons she'd refrained from making a comeback for so many years was because of that."Mr. Cohen!" Summer looked at Robin.

Summer paused in disgust. "I don't know how Mr. Aspen Hunt defines courtship these days. At the very least, I was taught that if someone dislikes you to the level of reporting it to the police, they want you out of their lives."Summer said, "Continuing on, Mr. Aspen Hunt, in a mediation from September 26 years ago, promised that he would no longer stalk or harass Ms. Kristen Woods."Summer put down the documents in her hand and faced the camera. "That's about it for now. I'll upload everything online later, including the surveillance footage I showed earlier. Anyone interested can go take a look."With how calm she seemed to be, those who didn't know she was trying to set the record straight might have thought she was giving a lecture."My mother has never been a fighter. She's gentle by nature. Because of Mr. Aspen's background, she didn't want to cause Hartford Group trouble and has endured silently all these years. But as her daughter, I couldn't keep letting filth like this spr

Summer played two segments of surveillance footage. She said calmly, "This is only a part of it, but it's enough to prove that I never knew Chandler before. He was the one persistently harassing me. With that, the rumors should collapse on their own."Everyone had assumed that the purpose of her conference was just to clarify the relationship between her and Chandler. But everyone was wrong."Let's set that part aside for now. I'm sure you all saw the trending news this morning. Chandler deliberately ran over and killed my family's driver," Summer uttered.Violet and the others sitting in front of the television were on the verge of losing it.The live stream had drawn over ten million viewers, and the number was still steadily climbing."I also know who's behind these disgusting rumors. After all, this isn't the first time they've resorted to these tactics. I don't like being in front of the media, and I didn't hold this press conference today for the sake of clearing my own nam
