The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 210
Janice had once been an outstanding student who excelled in every manner. Compared to Janice, Nora's own child fell far behind.On top of that, Brad had retired a few years ago, and the position of CEO for Power Construction had been given to Patrick, which made Nora incredibly unhappy.With Janice getting caught up in one scandal after another, Nora took full advantage of it. She moved back right away and spent her days whispering into Brad's ears.She embellished all the rumors from the outside and fed them to Brad. Otherwise, there was no way Brad would be so furious."Shut up!" Janice was already sick of Nora's mockery."Oh, my! Dad, just look at her talking to her elders like that. She's completely lost her manners," Nora feigned fear.Janice felt her whole body trembling.What Summer said earlier constantly echoed in her head.She had spent all this time looking for Rose, but she never expected Anthony to barge into her own home. She really didn't know what Anthony said t

Janice glared at Anthony. "Drop the act. Who used you? Weren't you trying to climb your way into a rich family?"Anthony said slowly, "I love Summer, and the one I want is her, too! She gave me so many hints before, and she was the one who invited me into her tent that night. Otherwise, why would I have gone in? I had no idea the person inside wasn't her!"Janice frowned.Thinking it over, that did make some sense. Why did Anthony need to do that to her in Summer's tent? And there were a lot of rumors surrounding Anthony and Summer in school as well.Anthony grabbed Janice's shoulder. "You can die right now if you want to, but those who harmed us won't feel guilty about it at all. Instead, they'll be pleased that their wicked plans worked. But we can't let that happen, okay? The more we're hurting, the more we need to get revenge on them!"Janice looked a bit surprised. "Revenge? On Summer?""Yes!" Anthony said firmly."How would we get that?" Janice asked.She was definitely u

Anthony took a step back. "Alright. Let's go back now. We can talk to your parents together. Don't be so emotional and stay calm. Don't make them worry anymore. I can tell that they love you very much. It's just that they're a little too old-fashioned."Janice sneered. Her face was still stinging from when Patrick slapped her earlier.Love? The only thing they loved was the family's reputation and social standing."Anthony, if you want to get involved in Power Construction, you'll need some real skills. That woman just now was my aunt, and her husband is the general manager of Power Construction's IT department. Bring him down for me." Janice watched Anthony.Anthony nodded without any hesitation. "I'll get it done within three months."…Summer was swamped with the launch of her game, as well as taking care of Mason, the little puppy. The entire day had been a whirlwind of work.Mason realized she was really busy with something important, so he stopped bothering her too much. H

Summer was stunned as she looked at Mason in shock. "You…""And that special whack-a-mole game…. I happened to see it when someone hacked into my company's computers a while ago." Mason leaned closer to Summer. "X."Summer felt chills all over as she dropped the cotton swab and took a few steps back. "Jesus! Who the hell are you?"He actually knew about the first game she ever made as a child and even knew she was X.Mason watched her and confirmed that Summer didn't remember anything at all. She wasn't that young back then, so how could she not remember anything?"I'm Mason," Mason answered.Summer's thoughts were in chaos.Mason had mentioned that special game she never told anyone about from when she was young, and he recognized that special whack-a-mole and determined that she was X.It meant that he had the right person.After Summer calmed down, she hurried back to Mason's side and lightly grabbed his neck, pretending to strangle him. "Tell me where we met right now. O
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 214
Mason's complaint seemed laced with complicated emotions. When Summer heard it, she felt her heart skip a beat.She frowned. "How could I not remember anything at all? That doesn't make sense. I was pretty smart when I was six years old. I was thinking about it, and I could even remember getting scolded by my mom after stealing some cookies.""And you look so…" Summer almost blurted out that he looked so good. There was no way she wouldn't remember Mason since she had been a sucker for good looks since she was young.If Mason wasn't lying, then she probably ran over to console him because he was just too good-looking. Otherwise, there was no way she would have dared to get so close to a stranger."And I look what?" Mason asked innocently."You know exactly what you look like," Summer answered vaguely. "I'll go back and ask my parents if I went to that cemetery back then.""Good." Mason nodded.Summer put her arms around his neck again. "I'll believe you for now, but you'd better

Summer felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes started to redden as well.Mason was stunned, not knowing what he did wrong at all. He started to panic. "What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have? Don't cry.""Idiot," Summer scolded as she looked at him.Mason was utterly confused. He lightly patted her on the head and asked, "Why are you so upset?"Summer shook her head. "It's nothing. Didn't you see all the dirt about me online? You still like me after all of that?"Mason shook his head. "I didn't see those. Even if I did, I'd still like you. I know how you are. There's no need for me to learn about you from others.""Wow! Someone's a smooth talker." Summer finally smiled.Mason let out a sigh of relief. "Do you have anything else you want to ask about?""There's nothing else." Summer shook her head."Then, can I…" Mason actually didn't forget about him wanting to pay Henry a visit."You can't!" Summer shut him down immediately before she picked up the cotton s

That night was a night filled with unease for a lot of people.Anthony switched on his computer and copied two files from an encrypted folder. He had learned that Power Construction was trying to get into the IT industry as well and was looking for a product that would help them break into the market.The two files contained an application and a game. In his eyes, as long as these were developed and released, they would rake in massive profits. Those two files were both from Rose.Initially, they had been meant for him to use as a way to enter Hartford Group."Summer, I'll make sure you regret the decisions you made in the past," Anthony said as he looked at Summer's photo.Initially, he hadn't suspected Summer at all for what happened on the mountain. But when he was leaving, he secretly took that bottle of alcohol with him. Upon closer inspection, he realized the bottle wasn't the one he had tampered with.That was when he finally understood. Summer had probably known all about

"Go sit down over there!" Summer pointed at the dining room.Mason looked like he wanted to protest, but when Summer glared at him, he sat down obediently."When are you going out?" he asked.She answered, "I need to go out and discuss some things, so I'll be leaving around 10:00 am. I'll try my best to come back before 3:00 pm.""That long?" Mason frowned.Summer poured the chicken broth over the freshly cooked noodles and added two eggs inside before she put the bowl in front of Mason. "Mr. Hunt, I don't like clingy boyfriends. Keep that in mind."Mason didn't know what to say to that. Was he clingy?"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring something back for you." Summer decided to offer a small reward after scolding him."Crayfish that you made," Mason said without any hesitation."That's something for next year, so pick something else." She waved it off."How about that place you brought me to last time?" Mason said after some thought. He remembered her enjoying th

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
