The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 193
It was either Mason had been attacked by someone in the apartment, or he was injured and hiding inside.Summer took a deep breath.Even without considering her past life, Mason had already saved her twice. There was no way she could just turn a blind eye to this situation.She clenched her teeth and put down the things in her hands. Then, she pulled out her self-defense tools from her bag and headed inside."Mason?" She fumbled around but couldn't find the light switch. So, she was forced to use the flashlight on her phone as she shouted out Mason's name.She had just taken two steps when she saw someone collapsed on the living room couch.Summer's heart skipped a beat. She hurried over, and after she saw who it was, her heart stopped."Mason!" she shouted as she checked for any signs of life.Mason was breathing, and his heart was still beating, but it was weak."Mason, can you hear me?" Summer called out to him.After a moment, Mason slowly opened his eyes.Summer almost c

Summer had only disliked Rosanna before this, but at that moment, there was no one she hated more.There were two gunshot wounds on Mason. One was near his left chest, close to the collarbone, and one was on his back.Time slowly passed by.Under Mason's instructions, it took several hours for Summer to extract the bullets from the wounds before she stitched them up."Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" She helped him lie down on the bed.Mason shook his head. "There's no need. I'll be fine after I get some sleep.""Mason…" Summer felt a bit helpless. Mason seemed a bit dazed as he gently held her hand. "Don't worry. This will be the last time, I promise."After Mason said that, he fell fast asleep.Summer stayed by his side, not even daring to close her eyes. She was worried she would wake up to find him dead if she fell asleep.Mason hadn't given her any instructions before he fell asleep.Summer didn't dare to contact Kyle either, since she didn't know wh

Summer tried a sip of the soup, and it was delicious."Oh, my God! Am I actually a cooking genius?" she mumbled to herself."Did you make this?" Mason suddenly said from behind her.Summer jumped in fright. "Are you trying to die? Who said you could get up?""I injured my arm, not my leg." His face was incredibly pale. He had always been coldly attractive, but now, he seemed broken as well. Anyone would sympathize with him if they looked at him."I'm hungry," Mason suddenly called out pitifully before Summer could force him back to his room.She didn't know how to respond to that.After a moment, the two were sitting at the dining table."Are you sure you don't need to lie down?" Summer asked.Mason shook his head. After that, he looked at the chicken soup with an upset expression. "How am I supposed to drink this? I can't raise my hand."Summer was speechless. Who would have thought that Mason was such a master at playing the victim?"Mr. Hunt, allow me to serve you!" Summe

Summer saw Mason's expression and had to hold back her laughter. "Mr. Hunt, drink your soup first. I'm going to make my lunch."With that, she returned to the kitchen and brought over a bag of chips. After that, she took out the crayfish from the fridge and reheated it. A moment later, she had a delicious-looking meal in front of her.Mason frowned slightly. "Where did you get that from?"She glanced at him with a look of regret. "I caught them at a farm with my parents yesterday. I was planning on bringing this over to thank you for saving me, but there's no way you can eat them right now.""You made this?" Mason asked.Summer peeled a crayfish, dipped it in sauce, and put it on a chip before she put it in her mouth. It tasted so good that she stomped her feet. "Yup, it tastes amazing!""I…" Mason tried to say something."You're only allowed to drink soup. Before your wounds get better, these things have nothing to do with you," Summer declared.Mason looked visibly unhappy.

"That's good." Mason nodded.He had lost a lot of blood, so he started feeling exhausted after being awake for a while.When Summer saw how tired he was, she decided to stop tempting him with the crayfish and quickly washed her hands."Go and lie down. If anything else happens to you, I won't be able to handle it. I would have no choice but to send you to the hospital," she said."Fine," he responded.Summer helped Mason back into his room.After laying down, Mason handed her a card with a license plate number on it. "Summer, go to the garage later. There's a car with this license plate there. Grab the other box from its trunk.""Okay." Summer nodded. She sat by Mason's side and checked his temperature again. He was still having a low fever.Summer fed him medication as instructed."I'm going to the garage to get what you want right now. Make sure you stay in bed and don't move. Call me if you need anything." Summer was definitely worried about Mason's condition.He had two g

Before long, Mason was fast asleep.Summer sat by his side and let out a sigh as she looked at the IV needle in the back of his hand. She sat there for a while before she picked up her phone.Just as she expected, her inbox was flooded with messages. Most of them were from Kristen, who was angry.Summer sent her some photos that she had prepared. After a moment, Kristen called.Summer got up and walked to the living room before she picked up the phone."Just scold me. You can even hit me later if you feel like it," she immediately apologized."Does anyone else know about your schedule for the trip?" Kristen asked in a low voice.Summer shook her head. "No. I'm sure of it."Kristen paused for a moment. "That's good. Just go on your graduation trip first. Call me three times a day, and before you come back, ask me. You're only allowed to come back with my approval.""Did something happen?" Summer asked.Kristen sighed. "Mason's probably dead. Royal Financial Group is in complet

Over the next two days, Mason's condition fluctuated between good and bad. Most of the time, he was asleep.Summer stayed by his side the entire time, so her scheduled meeting with Saul was postponed for a few days. Thankfully, she had already arranged everything in advance. So, it wouldn't affect the game's launch.Meanwhile, the marketing team that Saul had assembled was already working with popular content creators to review and promote the game.Other than that, Janice's incident at the camp was also going viral online.Just like what happened with Rose back then, it all started with someone leaking photos and videos in the school's forums. After that, it was picked up by the media and spread across various platforms.The headlines were shockingly similar. "The Love Story of an Heiress", "A Couple's Final Intimate Moment in the Wilds Caught by Classmates", and "Secret Romance Exposed! Many Pictures Inside!"Summer had moved a beanbag into Mason's room. When Mason was asleep,

Mason was inside the shower, while Summer stood outside.The sound of rushing water could be heard.No matter how Summer stood, she felt incredibly awkward. Looking at Mason's figure through the frosted glass, his movements seemed slow and strained.Summer felt her heart ache. Couldn't he just endure a little longer? Why did he insist on a shower?After what felt like ages, Mason finally finished his shower.When he walked out wrapped in his towel, Summer's eyes widened for a moment before she turned her head away. "Let me make you something to eat. Come out after you put on your clothes."After that, Summer bolted out of the room.Mason chuckled to himself as she escaped. Yet, the movement tugged at his wound and caused him to hiss.In reality, he could have acted even more helpless. But he was worried he would annoy her if he pushed too much. He didn't want Summer to see him as too much of a burden, either. It was better to take things one step at a time.Meanwhile, Summer o

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
