Now, in that tiny apartment, Mason actually felt it was incredibly empty.He sat down and tried to focus on some documents. After what felt like a long time, he checked his phone, only to notice that only ten minutes had passed, leaving him speechless.…Summer arrived at the meeting place ten minutes early. She didn't expect Saul and Lionel to already be there."Hey, I haven't seen you in so long!" Lionel grinned like a fool and stood up when he saw Summer.Summer didn't know what to say to that."Traffic wasn't bad?" Saul pulled out a seat for Summer.Summer nodded. "It was quite smooth. I didn't expect the two of you to be here so early.""Saul told me we were treating you to a meal today, so I got up bright and early." Lionel beamed."I'm so sorry. I've been really busy lately," Summer said apologetically.Saul poured her some coffee. "It's alright. We haven't ordered anything yet, so take a look and pick what you want."Summer didn't waste time ordering a few dishes.A

"You're leaving already?" Saul stood up."Is there anything else?" Summer looked at him.Saul hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not.But Lionel, with his usual straightforward attitude, said, "It's actually Saul's birthday today. He probably just wants to invite you to his birthday party."Summer was caught off guard by that. "It's your birthday? I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I didn't even prepare a gift for you."Saul shook his head. "It's fine. I don't really celebrate my birthdays. If you have things to take care of at home, then go ahead. I have no plans this afternoon, so I can send you back.""There's no need. How could I let the birthday boy send me home?" Summer rejected him in a hurry.She had Mason hidden in her apartment, so there was no way she could bring anyone nearby."Then, I'll just walk you to the parking garage," said Saul, who was already used to being turned down by Summer."Alright, then…" Summer replied.They walked side by side toward the parki

Summer rubbed her temples. "Then, should I be thanking you for the reminder?""No need for that. Just come back soon," Mason replied in a serious tone.Summer could picture Mason's expression as he spoke. Suddenly, she was amused."Fine," she replied."Remember to get something to eat," Mason reminded.Summer's smile vanished immediately as she asked in a stern tone, "Did you skip lunch?""I didn't have an appetite since I was alone," Mason replied, sounding like he'd been wronged.Summer was rendered speechless.Saul stood not far away and watched her. For some reason, he started to have a feeling of unease.After a moment, she hung up and walked toward him.He smiled at her. "Someone from home?"Summer shook her head. "No. You can just leave me here. We'll see each other at the company in the future."Sault hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "Alright."Summer then jogged away. It was obvious she was in a hurry.Saul stood in place, watching as she left. After she

"That's coincidental," Mason raised an eyebrow.Summer was taken aback for a moment as she peeked her head out of the bathroom. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Mason. "Coincidence? Is today your birthday, too? Isn't it in November?"Mason looked up at her and smiled brightly. "You know my birthday?"Summer had to scramble for an excuse. "I heard my grandfather mention it.""I'm very happy that he cares about me so much." Mason nodded with a smile.Summer looked at him.She suddenly recalled what Henry said about Mason's birthday last year. "Just look at how long disasters last. That little wolf cub managed to survive one more year."Summer forced out a smile. "He really does care about you a lot."Mason knew very well what kind of care Henry had for him. But in a way, it was better than being ignored. A bad impression could slowly be reshaped.After a moment, Summer changed into her loungewear and sat in front of Mason. She rested her chin on one hand as she watched

Hartford Group wasn't a major player in the gaming field. It was only natural to partner with the biggest platforms if they wanted to maximize profits."I'm not considering anything else," Summer answered without any hesitation."I understand." Saul didn't try to convince her any further.In his eyes, Summer—the girl he liked—was far more intelligent than most people. He was never worried she didn't know what she was doing.After finishing up the first wave of work, Summer started to feel a sore pain in her neck. She stretched long and hard on the chair."How is it?" Mason asked from beside her.Summer turned and almost bumped heads with him.Normally, the two would have backed away in a situation like this. But this time, neither of them did.Their eyes met for a moment. Summer suddenly leaned forward and pressed her lips against Mason's.Mason's whole body visibly stiffened."What are you looking at?" Summer shouted at Mason in fake aggression when she snapped out of it. Sh

All of Summer's frustration and embarrassment vanished in that instant.Xena? She instinctively thought about Mason's dead fiancée from the rumors.Xena…Driven by some inexplicable impulse, Summer immediately went online to search up that name. A flood of information filled the screen. She skimmed through everything until she saw a brief biography.Xena Turner, a genius pianist.As Summer read the biography, she learned that Xena was a girl who showed an immense talent at the piano since she was just four years old. At seven years old, she already earned some fame internationally. But her life came to an end 12 years ago.The biography only stated that she died in a major accident. There were no more details about it.12 years ago... Could it be that she met Mason at the cemetery during Xena's funeral?Complicated emotions surged within Summer. After that, she looked up Xena some more, finding a photo this time.Xena looked like a very beautiful girl, and she had dimple

"You little brat! Can't you make some more noise when you walk? You almost scared me to death!" Henry said as he grabbed a cushion and threw it at Luke.Luke caught the cushion. "I've always been walking like this, but you weren't scared back then."Henry sat down. "I was playing a game. The story is just too scary!""Are you playing After School?" Luke walked over to take a look, only to see that Henry indeed was playing the game.Henry nodded. "When I got to the company, the younger ones in the secretary's office were talking about this new project from your department, so I downloaded it to take a look. "The design is quite good. Even an old-timer like me can play it easily, and it's quite entertaining as well.""I can't believe an unknown company that came to us voluntarily could make a game that's so interesting," Luke said.He looked at Henry. "And the company's marketing was all handled internally. When I looked into the team, it's the same marketing team that handled th

"Alright," Luke said. He knew how vile Rosanna was. He also knew no matter what the consequences were, Rosanna would probably go after Hartford Group after the shareholders' meeting. Sending Summer away would be better than having her stay to face the upcoming storm.After a moment, Henry cursed as he entered the next level, "Little bastard!"Luke had thought that Henry was cursing at the game.Yet, Henry added right after, "Aren't you supposed to be so capable? How did you manage to get killed by a bunch of fools? Useless!"Luke looked at the grumpy Henry and felt a bit helpless.Henry cursed at Mason constantly—so much so that he probably developed some attachments to Mason. It seemed like he didn't actually want Mason to die.…"I understand. I'll head home tomorrow," Summer agreed without another question."Let Robin know when you're going to be back. He can take you home," Kristen said.Summer said casually, "Okay. Mom, are you about to join a new production?"Kristen

"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

"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.
