"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

"This isn't the time to argue about this. We should call the police first," one of the teachers said."No! We can't call the police! I didn't force her!" After Anthony recovered from his panic, he quickly regained his shamelessness.If this was reported to the police, his whole future would be ruined."You're lying!" Janice lunged forward and tried to hit Anthony, but the teachers stopped her."The campsite isn't that big. If you really fought back, someone would have heard it," Anthony said slowly.Janice was panting heavily as she constantly glanced at Summer.Summer seemed perfectly calm. In the end, no matter how ugly this situation became, it had nothing to do with her. One of them had drugged her to force themselves on her, which was a crime. Another tried to kill her, which was also a crime.Even if they wanted to drag her down with them by spilling the beans on their crimes, all it would do was prove that they wanted to harm Summer. There was no proof that Summer had o

"I suddenly figured something out." Summer smiled.That smile gave Rose and Anthony goosebumps.Summer said, "Back when you were in the manor, I always thought you two had something going on. Rose, could you have planned to have Anthony force himself on me so he can marry into a rich family?"She then frowned. "So, when you didn't manage to get your hands on me last night, you decided to switch to the heiress of Power Construction instead?"After that, she covered her mouth in shock. "If that's true, then you two are really terrifying!"Rose looked at Summer with eyes that were red with rage.Summer knew. Summer actually knew about the plan.Janice's mind was in complete chaos at that moment. She didn't know who to believe at all.Summer seemed like she didn't remember that Janice had tried to kill her the night before. But Janice clearly remembered…At that moment, Robin got a call. "Ms. Hartford, Mr. and Mrs. Hartford are already waiting at the foot of the mountain. I told t

"Janice, you can't hit people!" A teacher tugged on Janice's arm half-heartedly.Janice grabbed the lead teacher's sleeve. "Is what Summer said true? Is Chandler a part of Royal Financial Group?"The teacher nodded. "Yes. He returned to the country by himself and secretly enrolled in school. It angered Mr. Hunt, which is why Mr. Hunt took him away.""So, it wasn't because of Summer?" Janice felt like her entire world was crumbling down."Of course not."Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit Janice. Along with what happened last night with Anthony, her body was pushed to the brink. The emotional shock got to her and caused her to collapse on the spot.Anthony watched everything unfold right in front of his eyes. He had thought he was the luckiest person alive at the start, but his dream had completely crumbled before it could even begin.However, Anthony quickly made another decision.As far as he knew, the Sullivan family that owned Power Construction came from a long line of schol

"What is it?" Kristen asked."Well, I just graduated, right? I want to go on a graduation trip," Summer said."Of course you can. I've already picked out a few places and had people plan out everything," Luke replied.Summer waved it off. "I don't want to go overseas. Now that I'm becoming an adult, I want to travel alone." "Definitely not," Luke and Kristen said at the same time.Summer looked at Luke and pouted. "Do you still think I'm a baby?"Kristen and Luke had conflicted expressions on their faces."I'll be going to college in fall. It might not be too far away, but I won't be able to stay at home, either. Are you really going to move near my campus with me?" Summer asked."Summer, there's just been too many horrible things happening lately," Luke said seriously.Summer replied in earnest, "I'll have to face the world on my own eventually. I can already do that now.""We understand. Your dad and I will discuss this," Kristen said after a moment of silence."You two a

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
