"We have plenty of rooms. If the tutors are willing, of course they can stay," Kristen replied.As in the previous life, all four private tutors agreed to stay. Rose's mood visibly brightened.After chatting with the tutors for a while, Kristen called Summer to step outside."Mom, is something wrong?" Summer asked.Kristen was still not fully accustomed to Summer calling her "Mom" so casually. She cleared her throat and asked, "Do you not like Anthony?""Why do you ask?""You're always rude to me, but not to others," Kristen replied as she glanced at Summer. "If you don't like him, just say so. I can make an excuse to keep him from coming."Summer shook her head. "No need. Rose trusts them. Haven't you noticed? Her mood's a lot better than it was this morning. Right now, there's nothing more important than making her happy.""Then, they will only teach her. I'll find other tutors for you," Kristen said."No need." Summer smiled, shaking her head. "Actually, I was about to talk

Rose couldn't believe her eyes.Weren't Summer and Kristen always at odds? When did they become so affectionate?Noticing how Kristen was gazing at Summer with such tenderness, Rose felt her heart burn with jealousy.No! She couldn't let them make up! Kristen's attention should only be on her! This was something Rose felt she was owed. She clenched her fists tightly and then retreated into her room with a stormy expression.…Convincing Henry went far more smoothly than expected.Initially, he had strongly opposed it, much like Kristen. But after hearing Summer's reasoning, he pondered for a long time and eventually agreed.Rose, however, was still unaware of this decision. She spent the entire night brainstorming ways to create opportunities for Summer to fall in love with Anthony as soon as possible.As for Anthony, he had been conflicted about whether he should continue with his involvement before arriving at Hartford Manor. He had even considered telling Henry about Rose'

"School?" Rose was shocked.Anthony, who had been chatting with Henry, was also taken aback."Yes. She didn't want to take lessons at home, so I let her go," Henry explained.Rose's face turned pale, while the private tutors exchanged awkward glances."Um, Mr. Hartford Senior, we've finished our breakfast. We should go prepare the teaching materials for the lessons," one of the tutors said."Of course. If you need anything, just ask the maids," Henry replied kindly.Then, the tutors, including Anthony, got up and left the dining room."Rose, Summer probably didn't want to worry you. She has her reasons for doing this," Henry said gently."I know. It's just… I don't understand why she didn't tell me…" Rose fell silent, her lips pressed in a thin line.Damn it! Why on earth would Summer choose to go to school instead of attending private lessons at home in the middle of all this turmoil? Was Summer out of her mind? If she wasn't going to stay home for lessons, then what was the

However, Summer was no longer the person she once was.…Summer was wearing a custom-made school uniform for elite schools, complete with a shining school badge.The horrible makeup Rose always smeared on her face was gone. Her long hair was draped across her shoulders in soft waves, and she only wore a pearl hair clip near her left ear.Summer had always had good looks, and she was stunning even without makeup. In the past, her original radiance was simply shrouded by her meekness, along with the terrible makeup and messy hair.The car pulled up in front of the academic building. Getting out of the car, Robin respectfully opened the car door for Summer.As soon as Summer got out of the car, the passersby seemed to have frozen in time. They all turned their attention to Summer."Ms. Hartford, I'm always available. If you need any help, feel free to call me." Robin handed Summer her school bag."Okay." Smiling, Summer nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Cohen."Robin nodded a little. Then,

Annie was stunned for a moment. After all, Summer had always been a useless heir. She had never dared to speak a whole sentence to Annie and the young ladies, let alone look them in the eye when she talked.Annie wondered what was wrong with Summer today.Now that the person who had always been beneath her was suddenly talking to her like that, Annie felt like it was a threat to her pride.Walking up to Summer, she answered in an arrogant tone, "Yes. I was the one who did it. I was just putting trash where it belongs. What's wrong with that?"Summer looked at Annie. There wasn't even a hint of fear in her eyes.Meanwhile, Annie felt a little intimidated by Summer's gaze."What are you looking at?" she asked in an unusually loud voice, which was evidence of her guilt.Then, she suddenly screamed at Summer and reached up to grab the latter's hair.However, before Annie could touch Summer, someone had already grabbed her hair instead.After that, a shocking scene played out in fr
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 22
There were people both inside and outside the classroom, but it was completely silent.Then, Summer took out her phone and started a timer.Annie's face was covered in rotten fruit peels and juice. She had never smelled so bad before, and she kept having the urge to throw up. However, she couldn't even be bothered to clean herself up. Turning around, she looked at the others. "What are you standing around for? I didn't do this on my own!"The others didn't say a word.Summer pretended she never saw their conflict. Taking out a textbook from her bag, she began flipping through it expressionlessly.In just a few minutes, the whole world seemed to have turned upside down. The person who was usually the victim was sitting at the side with a cold and emotionless demeanor. Meanwhile, the bullies were surrounded by trash as they hurled insults at each other.Someone commented, "Wow! Summer's retaliation really is something!""She's so cool!" someone else agreed.A student said, "I'v

"Sorry, sir. I really wasn't being respectful, was I?" Summer tapped the desk lightly with her slender fingers. "It's a very serious offense. Perhaps you should… call my parents."As soon as Summer said that, Ivan froze.Even students in the elite schools weren't so arrogant that they would actually tell their teachers to call their parents."There's not much going on at home these days, and my elders should be free to come over. Shall I make the call for you?" Summer asked.Ivan's face instantly turned pale.Getting the elders of the Hartford family here would be the death of him. As far as he knew, Summer never told her family about getting bullied at school. If her family came over right now, the cat would be let out of the bag."It's not that serious," Ivan said, trying to gloss it over."Oh." Summer raised an eyebrow. "Then, we'll leave it for when you feel it's serious enough, Mr. Sutton."Ivan's face turned ashen.In the final three minutes, the rich young ladies did ev

News of Summer's change in behavior quickly spread throughout the school. Everywhere she went, gazes would follow her.She pretended she didn't notice it.When she arrived at the entrance of the teacher's office, she heard the teachers talking about her as well. "This is too much! How could she shove a classmate's head into a pile of trash? That's inhumane! These rich kids would do the worst of things just because they come from powerful backgrounds!"Summer scoffed.She had simply shoved Annie's head into the pile of trash Annie had created. This was nothing compared to the bullying Annie had done to her. But these teachers were feeling bad for the students now?Summer lifted her hand and knocked on the door.The voices in the teacher's office fell silent.It was slightly disappointing, but because of her connection to Hartford Group, those people would never dare express their hatred toward her. At the very least, this was the situation right now.Her simple retaliation t

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
