"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

"Got it." Summer nodded. Then, her gaze landed on a small box that was next to the pills on the coffee table. "What else did you leave behind?""You got first place in the whole year in the last exams. It's a present," Mason answered.She chuckled in exasperation. "Mr. Hunt, do you think I'm a kid studying in kindergarten? Why don't you just give me a big star sticker as a reward?""I'll do it next time," he answered.Summer held her phone in one hand as she opened the box with another. When she saw the contents of the box, the smile on her face stiffened.In the box was a tiny, pink crystal pig."Summer, I secretly took a peek at the gift Anthony gave you just now. It's so adorable."A memory of an identical little pig surfaced in her mind."Where did you get this?" she asked."Do you like it?" Mason asked back."Where did you get it?" Summer emphasized again.It was the second time—the coming-of-age necklace and this crystal pig.Why were the things Mason was giving her t

Summer changed into her school uniform and took the pills that Mason had left for her. After that, she took the little crystal pig out of the box and put it into her pencil case. Just like that, the frustration she felt in the morning vanished.Before heading to class, she gave Phoebe a call."Ms. Hartford, so you still remember me?" Phoebe immediately grumbled when she answered."How could I ever forget my dearest Phoebe?" Summer said sweetly. "If you're coming over to bring me cake today, could you also grab the velvet box in my room? It's in the bottom right drawer of my desk cabinet." "Bring you cake? Ms. Hartford, are you craving cake?" Phoebe asked.Summer's smile stiffened. "No, but don't you…"Before she could finish, she suddenly understood something. Surely Phoebe wouldn't have asked that question if she sent Summer cake every day."I what?" Phoebe asked."It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if anyone's been sending me cake from the house," Summer asked."Mrs. Hart

At first, no one else had noticed. But the moment Summer mentioned Anthony's collar, everyone's attention shifted to it."Summer, you girls wouldn't understand. Anthony's just been marked by his girlfriend!" a male classmate shouted.The entire class erupted into teasing laughter.Anthony's face turned into an embarrassing shade of purple. His face was naturally long and thin, so it made him look like a wilted eggplant.He forced out a smile and explained, "No. I just have some allergies. Since when did I have a girlfriend?"The students only laughed louder.After that, Summer, the instigator, returned to her usual indifferent expression after that remark. She slowly pulled out her practice papers to work on them.Anthony's gaze lingered on her for a long time, but Summer didn't even bother looking up at him.Instead, it was Rose who kept staring at him intently.Anthony felt incredibly disgusted.Last night, he had been dragged to Rose's apartment and forced into intimacy. A

Summer's thoughts were going everywhere.She was already certain that the cakes were from Mason. But how did he know that she liked chestnut cakes? As far as she remembered, only Phoebe and Rose knew about it. Even Henry and her parents were clueless about it.Phoebe didn't know Mason, and there was definitely no way Rose had a chance to tell him.So, where did Mason find out about it?Phoebe was worried she would disturb Summer's afternoon rest, so she didn't stay long and left.Lying on her bed, Summer held the starry necklace between her fingers. "Mason, oh, Mason, just how many things have you done for me that I don't know about?"Then, she let out a heavy sigh and clutched the necklace tightly in her palm.She owed Mason her life—no, she owed him much more than that. With such a bond between them, it was foolish of her to have thought that she would be able to avoid that dangerous man.Whatever. Summer decided she would just take things as they came.…Time flew by.Aft

Rose was slowly packing her things nearby.The gossiping students quickly noticed her and immediately shifted their attention. "Rose, what do you think about Summer and Anthony?"She shook her head. "I don't know. But Anthony did come over to our house to tutor us before, and he was pretty close to her. They even went out late at night to look at roses together…""A man and a woman looking at roses in the middle of the night? Please! They were probably…"The discussions in the classroom grew more and more out of hand.Rose quietly listened, occasionally chiming in. She made it look like she was trying to defend Summer, but everything she said implied that Summer and Anthony had a suggestive relationship.…By the time Summer got home, Phoebe had already prepared a delicious meal for her.Phoebe informed, "Mr. Hartford Senior and your parents won't be home for dinner tonight, but they've cleared their schedules for the next two days to spend time with you.When she saw Summer s

Summer looked at the woman. She wasn't one to go around stirring up trouble, but she wasn't afraid to fight back when trouble came knocking, either."And who are you?" she asked."Summer, this is Mrs. Hunt of Royal Financial Group," Janice gently introduced the woman.Summer's heart sank for a moment.There was only one person in the Royal Financial Group who could be called Mrs. Hunt. It was Chandler's mother, Rosanna Moon. No wonder Rosanna had been looking at Summer like she wanted to shoot her. It all made sense now.Summer had a look of surprise on her face as she looked at Phoebe. "Mrs. Hunt of Royal Financial Group? Has Mason gotten married? Why didn't I hear about it?"At that moment, the air in the room turned icy cold.Her past life had taught Summer that sometimes, there was no use acting weak or humble. This was precisely one of those situations.Chandler's limbs were broken, but those on his side were likely too scared to go against Mason. Otherwise, there would

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
