The voices in the room grew louder."You can definitely search me, but before that, I just need to ask. Why did you come straight for me?" Summer asked calmly. She was perfectly composed and did not show a hint of impatience."Didn't I say that earlier? Someone reported you! They claimed there was something off with your stationery and even your hairpin. Hand them over for inspection," Samuel said."Summer, Mr. Hartford Senior dotes on you so much. Even if you didn't do well, he wouldn't say anything, and you'd still inherit Hartford Group. "Why would you do something like that? It's still not too late to admit it to the teachers. At least you can salvage some of the family's reputation!" Rose fanned the flames.At that moment, the students from other schools started to gossip among themselves."So that's the Hartford heiress? Wasn't she supposed to be ugly? She must have had plastic surgery to look so different now.""Plastic surgery is nothing. I was thinking of getting some

Summer didn't have a single pocket on her. She had just finished the exam and hadn't even left her seat, so how could she have hidden anything she had with her?"Check the tables and chairs," Samuel said.The other teachers immediately flipped over Summer's desk and chair, but there was still nothing to be found.Janice frowned and said, "What about her ruler or her compass? Sir, please check everything carefully again. You can't show favoritism to her just because she's the heiress of Hartford Group!""If you don't believe it, why don't you check it for yourself?" Samuel snapped."Sir, calm down. But Rose did have a point just now. Since someone reported this, there has to be some truth to it. Maybe they just mistook me for another person. It could be someone else who's cheating here," Summer said earnestly."Are you kidding? Why are you trying to drag the rest of us down with you?""That's right! I didn't cheat!""What's going on…"Janice was smart. She realized that the thi

Janice started to panic. "I didn't cheat. Are you going to search me without any evidence? Just because Summer suspected me?"Summer feigned confusion and asked, "Janice, didn't you urge me to cooperate with the teachers just now? So, I can be suspected, but you can't? As long as you didn't cheat, then nothing would happen anyway. Are you scared?"Janice clenched her teeth as she eyed her stationery.Her stationery was all different from what Summer had. The brand was different, and even the designs were different. It was definitely not the ones she had prepared to sabotage Summer.The hairpins were even less of a worry. They were personal items that no one could ever have swapped.On top of that, she had always appeared nice toward Summer. There was no way Summer would have framed her.Just as she was mentally preparing herself, Samuel got impatient. He went over and snatched her pencil case."What are you doing?" Janice instantly shouted."Don't you have a flight to catch? Le

Rose stood in place, but Summer had never even spared her a glance the whole time.Lindsey followed behind Summer, still obviously shaken from everything. "How did things get so bad? Who reported you?""Who knows?" Summer said lazily.What happened to Janice today? Well, she merely suffered the consequences of her own actions.Janice and Rose had spent their days whispering and scheming. Little did they know that Summer had already anticipated their plan from the very start.From the first day Anthony came in as a substitute teacher, Summer knew there were already conflicts between him and Rose. But their plan to take over Hartford Group through Summer was still in motion.Summer had taken precautions just in case. That day in the pantry, she had planted a tiny surveillance device. She was planning on spying on Rose and Anthony, but she unexpectedly ended up with a different finding.After that, Summer allowed the two of them to dig their own graves. She knew Rose and Janice had

"What a load of nonsense!" Henry retorted."Mrs. Hunt, you can't even manage the Hunt family properly. Do you really have the time to meddle in my daughter's affairs?" Kristen asked.Rosanna's face darkened even more when she looked at Kristen. "Kristen, you should be reflecting on yourself instead. The Hartford family has upheld good values for so many generations, so why did you give birth to someone like her? She acts like a mannerless lady. I wonder who she takes after." Rosanna sneered."Kristen, cheating is a serious matter. You should really take better care of Summer," Jessica chimed in as well."So, both of you think that cheating is a bad thing?" Summer asked."Of course! Everyone, just look at this so-called heiress of Hartford Group. She's still acting so clueless, even though she's done something so disgraceful," Rosanna suddenly said loudly."I really am clueless, though. The one who cheated wasn't me." Summer blinked.Henry turned around and asked, "Summer, what

"Summer Hartford!" Rosanna snapped.Summer looked at Rosanna fearlessly. "What is it? Do you still need something?""You…" Rosanna obviously knew that Summer was referring to her when she made that remark.But Summer hadn't mentioned a name. Wouldn't Rosanna be admitting it herself if she refuted it?Rosanna had never suffered such a loss. Even when she dealt with Mason, she was just given a cold shoulder at most. Mason would never anger her so much.Nothing had even been confirmed between Mason and Summer yet. Yet, Summer still dared to treat Rosanna like this. If Mason really brought Summer over to the Hunt family one day, wouldn't Summer trample all over her?"Mom, this old lady seems to be stuttering. I really can't tell what she's trying to say," Summer muttered while holding Kristen's arm.Kristen almost failed to hold back her laughter. It was rare to see Rosanna take such a hit."Mom, Dad, you take one car. I'll take the other with my classmate," Summer suggested.Kris

Summer's smile faded slightly. "What kind of weapon is that? Don't I know exactly what kind of woman my mother is? What Mrs. Hunt's saying is just nonsense."Kristen's gaze flickered slightly.Teenagers usually cared a lot about these kinds of criticisms. On top of them, she had heard Summer cry to Henry before, saying her classmates made fun of Kristen being a mere actress.Summer patted Kristen's hand. "Mom, trust me. You've gotten all the major Best Actress awards in the world, and that's an incredible achievement. Who does that old lady think she is?"After pausing for a moment, she added warmly, "Mom, I'm proud of you, and you'll be proud of me, too. She wasn't wrong. The two of us are alike. We're both the best of the best." Tears started to form in Kristen's eyes. She never expected Summer to say something like that to her. "I'm already proud of you."Summer tilted her head slightly and clasped her hands behind her back. "That's not enough. At the very least, I need to be

Summer, half-asleep, grabbed her phone and looked at it.That so-called older brother of hers who sent her stationery and sent her desserts every day hadn't even sent a single message to her after her exams.Rosanna had only dared to make a fuss today but didn't dare to actually do anything. At least that meant that Mason was fine for now. With those thoughts in her head, Summer fell asleep.After a moment, she seemed to hear someone calling out to her. She struggled to open her eyes as she vaguely made out someone sitting at her window."Summer…""Mason?" Summer jolted up in shock.Mason's white shirt was completely stained red, and his face was full of wounds as well. Beads of blood were constantly dropping from his eyelids."What happened to you?" She immediately tried to run over.But no matter how she tried, she couldn't get close to Mason. Just like that, she watched as Mason slowly lost all signs of life in front of her."Mason!" Summer woke up with a gasp.It was al

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
