If the media caught wind of such an explosive thing, who knew how bad the story would look? Then, Janice would truly lose all her pride.Rose knew very well that Janice wouldn't dare to throw her under the bus.She shook her head at Janice's angry expression. "I told you before that Summer is too powerful. We're no match for her."Janice got even angrier at Rose's words.Rose consoled her in a gentle tone, "Janice, just calm down and go study abroad. I'll keep trying to help you find Chandler. Don't be stuck in this nightmare called Summer like me.""As if I would! Summer's not worthy of being my nightmare," Janice spat."That's good. Then, let's put all this behind us." Rose already had a clear plan for her next steps.She didn't need Janice to do anything else. Since Janice had lost all value to her, then Janice might as well disappear.Janice clenched her fists tightly. Not far away, she seemed to make out Summer's silhouette. The flickering light made Summer look so noble a

Summer chose Kristen's breakout song. Back then, Kristen had been an all-rounder who excelled in acting, singing, and dancing.The music started. Everyone else took out their phones to record Summer embarrassing herself.Yet, once the intro music came to an end, a clear, sweet voice started to sing.Everyone was stunned."This has to be fake, right? Was it prerecorded?""I thought Summer couldn't sing?""Damn! Her singing is actually this nice?"The audience was buzzing in shock.Rose happened to come back at that moment as well. When she heard Summer singing, her expression instantly soured."Rose, didn't you say Summer was a terrible singer? How could this be terrible? She's good enough to take part in a singing competition.""I don't know, either… She was really bad before. Maybe she found a teacher…" Rose was embarrassed.But very quickly, she turned that humiliation to anger as she saw Anthony. Anthony was standing at a corner with the teachers, watching Summer sing.

Summer was stunned for a moment. "How did you know I just sang?"Lindsey glanced at her.Summer gestured slightly before she got up and walked to the side."Mason, did you have someone stalk me?" she asked.Mason chuckled. "Don't make me sound so creepy. Just walk forward a bit more."Summer was speechless. If she continued walking forward, she would be in a small grove of trees."Don't tell me you're among those trees," she said."Why don't you come find out?" he replied."Mason, you're really…" Summer let out a long sigh. "You disappeared for so many days, and now you just suddenly pop up again, asking me to play hide-and-seek with you in this strange forest in the middle of the night?"Mason laughed. "I set up some little lights along the way. Or do you want me to go over to you instead? Aren't you afraid your classmates will freak out?"Summer had nothing to say to that. She turned back to look at all the students who were busy partying. It seemed like no one noticed her.

Mason's brows furrowed."Listen to me!" Summer said with a serious expression.Mason handed her phone to her and asked, "Is Robin around?"Summer nodded. "He is. I'm going to call him over right now."Mason knew how capable Robin was. "Alright. I'll stay hidden until I see him arrive. Then, I'll leave."After a brief pause, he gently reached out and adjusted her messy hair. "I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble again."Summer said earnestly, "You actually helped me this time. If you hadn't called me over, she might have waited for me to fall asleep at night and attacked me in my tent."Just thinking about it caused Mason to shiver."Just go." Summer looked at Mason and tried to shoot him a reassuring look.Mason was still uneasy, but he left in the end.After a moment, Robin arrived."Ms. Hartford, why are you running around in the middle of nowhere?" he asked sternly."Mr. Cohen, this person tried to kill me," Summer said bluntly.Robin stared in shock at the unconscious Ja

"How do you feel? Any better?" Anthony asked.Summer pursed her lips and looked at him.He couldn't even hide his greed at this point. It was practically oozing out of his eyes. "I'm still a little shaken," she answered.Anthony was elated. "Then, have one more.""Okay. Thank you, Anthony," Summer said as she accepted another glass from him.She slowly drank the whole glass. Then, she put the glass back on the table. "Anthony, you should go have fun with everyone else. I'm not feeling very well. I think I'll head back to my tent and rest.""I'll walk you there." Anthony immediately moved to support her.Summer avoided his hands. "There's no need. It wouldn't look good if anyone saw. Don't worry. My family's bodyguards are nearby. I won't be in danger."Anthony felt his heart stop for a moment.The bodyguards were nearby? Didn't that mean he would easily get caught later?It seemed like he would need to move carefully. The goal for the night was to make it so that things wer

Anthony frowned slightly as he glanced toward the campsite.He was definitely feeling very impatient. "That's true. If I wait until late at night, people might be asleep, but the tents aren't far from each other. Anyone could hear the noise, so it might actually be better to go now."Rose let out a cold laugh. "Anthony, just how much noise are you planning to make? Let me warn you. Summer has bodyguards with her.""You…" Anthony was speechless for a moment at Rose's words.Then, he said, "I know you're feeling jealous. Don't worry. I'll make it up to you over the summer holidays."Rose glanced at him. She had already lost all her feelings toward Anthony, but hearing him say that still made her happy.What was the point of Summer trying so hard to seduce Anthony? In the end, Anthony still had to keep Rose happy."Alright. Just go." Rose softened her tone slightly.Anthony nodded before he looked for the supervising teacher. He said he wasn't feeling well and headed straight to t

"Oh, my God! Are the two of you really hooking up?""Holy crap! How desperate can you be? We're out in the wilderness, and there are so many other students around. Couldn't you show a little bit more decency? How disgusting!"Anthony hurriedly tried to explain himself, "No, it's not like that! We just drank a little last night… It's not her fault. I…""What are you all doing in front of my tent?" Just as Anthony seemed ready to defend Summer with all his might, Summer's voice was heard behind the crowd.The air seemed to freeze instantly.Everyone turned to look at Summer.In the tent, Anthony was stunned as he turned to look at the person he spent the night with.The most interesting expression was Rose's. It looked like she had been struck by lightning.Tracy, the gossip queen, asked, "Summer, why are you here? Wait! If you're here, then who's inside the tent with Anthony?"Summer looked at Lindsey in confusion. "What? I don't know. I'm afraid of the dark, so I spent the nig

Rose was so startled by Summer's intimidating approach that she took two steps back."I know you have a good relationship with Janice, but that doesn't mean you can try to smear me just to protect her. Just ask everyone else if they think that accusation even makes sense," Summer said.The other students agreed."That's true. How amazing must Summer be if she could force two unwilling people into the same tent together and sleep together for a whole night?""Rose, this is getting ridiculous.""Even if you want to frame someone, this really isn't the way…"Rose denied it loudly, "She's lying! I don't even know Janice! Everyone, just think about it. They did the deed in camp, right inside Summer's tent. Does that even make sense?"Tracy shot back, "Didn't Anthony explain it earlier? They drank too much. In the first place, shouldn't Janice be locked up at home right now? How did she suddenly show up here? Are you trying to say that Summer kidnapped her?"Rose didn't know what to

At dinner time, the West family had finally calmed down.Summer had quickly arranged for a professional financial manager to divide and manage the ten million dollars on their behalf."Mrs. West, take a look at this. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I was worried that if you took the whole amount home, it might attract trouble. So, I asked a financial manager to prepare a plan." Summer handed her a copy of the financial plan.She said, "You won't receive the money all at once, but you'll have more than enough for your monthly expenses. The child's education is budgeted with the best resources as well."Bailey looked at it and said, "Ms. Hartford, I know you won't harm us. We don't understand any of this anyway, so whatever you arrange for us is fine."Summer said casually, "Alright! Oh, Dustin, after the funeral, you should stay a few more days. My parents found a top-notch specialist for you. We'll take you for a full-body checkup and get a proper treatment plan going."Bail

Naturally, Phoebe was referring to Mason.Summer chuckled. "You know what kind of mess the Hunt family is in. If Ruddy is polite when he gets there, maybe he'll be fine. But if not, he's in for a beating."Phoebe looked baffled. "What's he going there for anyway? Can an illiterate write out a letter?"Summer was taken aback. "He can't read?"Phoebe said, "That's right. Even writing his own name is a struggle. We actually started school together as kids, but he attended for a day and never came back."Back then, a brick factory had been established in their village. The pay was based on how many bricks one moved.The West family was always broke, so when Ruddy heard that there was money to be made, he quit school and ran off to haul bricks.At first, he did make some cash, but he blew it all by strutting around town like a big shot.Later, when the factory stopped making money, he was already too old to go back to school. So, he went south with a relative to find work.Summer s

Ruddy's face went pale in an instant.Those twin boys were the children he'd had a few years ago with a young woman. After that, he got tired of providing for the family and broke up with her. Hardly anyone knew about it. He hadn't even told his family.He never imagined that Aspen would know about it.Aspen kicked Ruddy hard. "I already looked into everything there is to know about you. You'll do exactly what I tell you. If you stir up any trouble, I'll make sure your whole family is ruined! Get lost, you hillbilly!"Sure enough, Ruddy was beaten up again and tossed to the side of the road.His head started bleeding again, and Ruddy sobbed uncontrollably. He found his phone, which already had a shattered screen, and called Bailey.After Ruddy had gotten thrown out of the Hartford residence, the West family was thrown into chaos.Dustin dropped to his knees in front of Summer and Kristen. "I'm scum! I really am!""Dustin, don't do this! I know what kind of person you are. If

Five million dollars. It was five million dollars.Ruddy's eyes were practically glued to the card.Aspen gave Malcolm an impatient look, and Malcolm handed the pen and paper to Ruddy.Ruddy was taken aback when he saw the pen and paper. "Aren't you supposed to write it, and I just sign it?""It would be better if you wrote it yourself," Malcolm said.Ruddy looked embarrassed. "But I don't know how to write?"Aspen finally lost his patience. He slammed the table and stood up. "What? You're illiterate?""What are you yelling at me for? When did I say I could write? I'm doing you a favor by agreeing to this, and this is how you treat me?" Ruddy didn't care that Aspen was rich at that moment.Aspen was begging him for help, so why should Ruddy tolerate Aspen?"Stop arguing." Malcolm was getting a headache. He never imagined that Ruddy would be illiterate."Fine. I'll have someone print out the content. You can just copy it, right?" Malcolm just wanted this done as quickly as pos

Malcolm looked disgusted. "Got it. We'll get back to you soon."Then, he hung up. "Bastard!" Aspen slammed his hand on the table hard.Malcolm said grimly, "I told you before Paul didn't have many relatives. His parents are both gone, and other than his wife and children, there's only his brother left. The Hartford family is watching the West family closely. "No one answered when I called, so I had to try this guy. Who knew he'd be this stupid?""Is a letter of forgiveness from his biological brother useful?" Aspen asked.Malcolm frowned. "It has some value, but it wouldn't nearly be as effective as getting it from the wife or children.""I don't care. Even getting one is something. Offer him three million dollars." Aspen felt a headache coming on.Malcolm hesitated for a moment. "You really want to pay him? This thug has never treated his brother well before. If the family mentions that in court, this three million dollars might as well go down the drain.""Get that letter

"Go ahead." Summer showed no intention of stopping him.Ruddy was stunned. "I'm not joking around. I really will go."Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead. Also, you were talking so much about inheritance just now. What inheritance? Since when did this ten million dollars count as inheritance?"Ruddy said smugly, "It's still compensation! I get a share either way! I know the law, Ms. Hartford."Summer nodded. "Seems like you got it wrong. This money isn't for Paul.""Don't try to fool me!" Ruddy frowned.Summer turned to gently soothe the baby, who was still sobbing. "Hey little cutie, you shouldn't cry anymore. I gave you a ten-million-dollar gift, and you're still upset? Come on, give me a smile."Everyone widened their eyes in shock."What ten-million-dollar gift? What are you talking about?" Ruddy tried to grab Summer, but Robin stopped him.Summer held the baby's tiny hand. "My grandfather already gave the funeral expenses to Mrs. West. I'm only giving the ten mil

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
