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.

"What are you standing there for? Take yours." Summer glanced back at Mason. Then, she picked up her own plate and walked toward the living room.Mason went into the kitchen and looked at the cake before his lips curled up slightly.He carried his plate out and asked, "Is it good?""I really like it," she replied."That's good." He nodded thoughtfully."You should probably leave after you finish this," she suggested."I'll wait until after midnight just to be safe," he replied.Summer was speechless.But he wasn't wrong. There was always a what-if.Just as she was thinking that, a sudden crack of thunder boomed outside. It was the first thunderstorm Summer encountered since her reincarnation.The color drained from her face instantly. Her mind was suddenly filled with images of her being tortured in that asylum. It was as if she returned to that dark, filthy place that was filled with the stench of rot and mold."What's wrong?" Mason immediately noticed that something was of

Summer still hadn't stopped sobbing.Mason felt like his heart was shattering.At that moment, she suddenly started to struggle in agony even more. "Mason!"He froze for a moment."Don't come in. Go… You'll die… Just leave!" Summer muttered.Mason immediately grasped her hand tightly. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be right by your side. If you don't want me to die, then I will never die."He didn't know if Summer heard his words or not. She might just have felt a sense of safety when he held her hand. But after a moment, she started to calm down. She sobbed quietly for a while before she slowly fell asleep with the tears still on her lashes.Mason was absolutely certain at that moment that Summer had definitely suffered some severe psychological trauma, although he didn't know when.Sitting beside her and silently keeping watch over her, he felt his heart burning up in anger. It didn't matter who caused this kind of terror and fear in her, but he would definitely find t

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

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
