"Yes." Mason nodded.Summer kept her head down. "I heard my family talk about it. It's all in the past now. You don't have to bring it up to me if you don't want to. We're still not at the stage where we need to deliberately share our pain."Mason was taken aback for a moment before he lowered his gaze as well. "I understand."After that, neither of them spoke.Summer carefully applied the medicine for Mason and wrapped up the bandages. "It's done now. I still have things to take care of, so I'll leave for now.""Alright. Then, tomorrowâĶ" Mason said."I'll be leaving bright and early tomorrow. Mr. Cohen will come get me, so focus on getting some rest," she interrupted before he could finish.Mason sat on the couch and looked up at her.Summer avoided his gaze as she grabbed her things. After she muttered out a goodbye, she left Mason's room.When it came to her emotions, Summer had always been someone very careful. The moment she found out that Mason had a dead fiancÃĐe, an une

Robin let out a helpless sigh as he put the suitcase in the trunk.On the way back, Summer saw that Robin kept glancing at his phone and felt a little uneasy."Mr. Cohen, how has the company been lately? I heard from my mom that Royal Financial Group is about to have a change in management. With how I treated Mrs. Hunt last time, she might try to take revenge on Hartford Group," she said.Robin was silent for a moment. "You should just focus on your studies. Let the adults handle the matters at the company."Didn't that response basically confirm that something was wrong within the company?"Are the shareholders causing trouble?" Summer asked.Robin looked at her in surprise. "How did you know? This matter hasn't even blown up yet. I only found out about it not long ago.""With Hartford Group's expansion over the past three decades, we've brought in plenty of shareholders. It's hard for all of them to be fully aligned with our interests. If a few of the troublemakers work togeth

"She does look a bit thinner," Robin said.Summer thought there was no way she wouldn't be thinner. After all, she had to run around the whole day taking care of Mason."That's great. I was planning to follow Mom to her set anyway. All those celebrities are as thin as paper. I wouldn't want them to look down on me." Summer clung to Henry's arm.Henry shot her a warning look before he sighed. "Just you try! It's not like you're much better than paper. You love eating cake so much, but why can't you ever gain any weight? Those who didn't know might think that I'm starving you at home.""Speaking of food, I'm hungry, Grandpa." Summer hadn't eaten much the whole day, so she definitely was starving."You little piggy!" Henry's face was full of affection.Standing by the side, Robin looked on with a contented expression as well.Back then, he would always worry when Summer spent time with Henry. He would even occasionally blame Summer for failing to live up to the Hartford family name

Summer frowned slightly. So, she had been there."Phoebe said you were probably possessed, and she went to Springwood to ask around. She told us a few youngsters that had died in accidents had been buried there that day. She said you probably got possessed by one of their restless spirits and even called an exorcist," Henry said.He looked amused as he continued, "I don't know if it actually worked, but you got better the next day. After that, I stopped bringing you to cemeteries or funerals and even hospitals. We mostly just had the family doctor come to the house.""And I forgot all about it after that?" Summer asked."Who did we go to see at Springwood Cemetery? Or whose funeral were we attending?" She almost let it slip and asked about Xena."We went to see an old friend of mine," Henry replied with his face still lowered.He looked a lot sadder at the mention of that old friend.Summer couldn't bear to see Henry sad and immediately held his hand. "Next time you go, I can go

Henry looked at Summer with a dumbfounded expression. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or not."Summer, I'm not asking you to go and hide," he tried convincing her.A moment of stubborn pride was one thing, but the possibility of danger was another."We can go see my grandaunt in the future. Mom's film is the most important thing right now. She's sacrificed over 20 years of her acting career for our family. It's about time she does something for herself." Summer remained firm.Luke had just happened to hear those words as he was walking downstairs. He froze on the spot.The two in the dining room didn't notice him at all.Henry said, "You little brat! When did you become so stubborn?""I got it from you," Summer answered."You!" Henry's eyes widened in frustration."Grandpa, I'm really sleepy now. We can talk about whatever you want to say when I wake up." Summer finished her milk and dashed off before Henry could respond.She was startled when she saw Luke. "

"Hartford Group has been too peaceful these years. All these parasites have been sucking us dry. I'd love to see how many of them step up to try and pull me down this time." Henry sneered.âĶSummer only slept for a little over an hour. She woke up right on time at 8:30 am. She lay in bed for a while before she reached for her phone and started browsing different websites.There was no news of Royal Financial Group at all. In the end, she even went into the school's gossip group.The moment she entered, she saw that everyone was talking about Janice.Yesterday at noon, Power Construction had responded to the tent scandal through their lawyers and publicly acknowledged Janice and Anthony's relationship. At the same time, they condemned any malicious individuals for using Janice's reputation to attack Power Construction."I read the lawyer's statement. It's such bitchy behavior.""Janice never mentioned she had a fiancÃĐ before. She would just flit around the school and make so many

Summer shot up from her bed in less than three seconds. She couldn't sleep because her mind was filled with too many thoughts. She decided to just forgo sleep altogether as she got up and switched on her computer. Then, she logged into the hacker website that she hadn't touched in a long time.Just a few seconds after she logged on, the entire website exploded."X is back.""You're finally back! Are you a senior in high school? It's been so long after the SATs, and we've all been waiting.""Since you're back, are you planning on challenging for the number one spot?"X replied, "Maybe in the future. I'm here today for recruitment."Everyone was confused."What's going on? Is X actually not a high school student but a headhunter?"Summer typed, "Well, you could say that. I'll give a quick introduction. Our company is called Eridanus, and it was founded not long ago. Just two days ago, we released our first game, After School.""What?""You made After School?""Damn! I was so s

Summer nodded eagerly. "That sounds great! I've never been to this kind of thing before. I have nothing going on today, so can you take me with you?"Kristen was taken aback for a moment.Summer knew that Kristen was planning on quietly handing the role to someone else before the filming started. But she wouldn't give Kristen a chance."Summer, I want to take you to Newford," Kristen said in a low voice.Summer stated firmly, "I'm not going, and you're not, either. Mom, do you know why Dad bought all of this for you?"Kristen shook her head."He's trying to tell you to shine brightly as you pursue what you want to do," Summer said seriously.Kristen looked up at her, her eyes starting to redden.Summer leaned against her and smiled. "Help me pick out a pretty dress. I'm just going to be in the background tonight, so I don't need to be as pretty as during my birthday.""You're really not going to your grandaunt's place? Aren't you scared?" Kristen confirmed one last time.It w

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.

"Mr. Hunt, is Ms. Hartford seriously that fierce?" Kyle was stunned after watching the live stream."She is." Mason nodded."But won't her attitude cause you a lot of trouble?" Kyle asked.Mason seemed completely composed. "It's a good thing. This gives me the perfect excuse to tear off that fake peaceful facade in the Hunt residence. I won't have to go back there anymore.""Where did Ms. Hartford even get all the evidence from?" Kyle wondered.Kristen and the others were wondering that at home as well."Summer, getting the footage from the school is one thing, but where did you get the other stuff?" Henry asked, pointing to the case files and mediation records Summer had shown during the press conference."Yeah, I don't even have those myself," Kristen said emotionally.She had never imagined that this matter could ever be cleared up. In fact, one of the reasons she'd refrained from making a comeback for so many years was because of that."Mr. Cohen!" Summer looked at Robin.

Summer paused in disgust. "I don't know how Mr. Aspen Hunt defines courtship these days. At the very least, I was taught that if someone dislikes you to the level of reporting it to the police, they want you out of their lives."Summer said, "Continuing on, Mr. Aspen Hunt, in a mediation from September 26 years ago, promised that he would no longer stalk or harass Ms. Kristen Woods."Summer put down the documents in her hand and faced the camera. "That's about it for now. I'll upload everything online later, including the surveillance footage I showed earlier. Anyone interested can go take a look."With how calm she seemed to be, those who didn't know she was trying to set the record straight might have thought she was giving a lecture."My mother has never been a fighter. She's gentle by nature. Because of Mr. Aspen's background, she didn't want to cause Hartford Group trouble and has endured silently all these years. But as her daughter, I couldn't keep letting filth like this spr

Summer played two segments of surveillance footage. She said calmly, "This is only a part of it, but it's enough to prove that I never knew Chandler before. He was the one persistently harassing me. With that, the rumors should collapse on their own."Everyone had assumed that the purpose of her conference was just to clarify the relationship between her and Chandler. But everyone was wrong."Let's set that part aside for now. I'm sure you all saw the trending news this morning. Chandler deliberately ran over and killed my family's driver," Summer uttered.Violet and the others sitting in front of the television were on the verge of losing it.The live stream had drawn over ten million viewers, and the number was still steadily climbing."I also know who's behind these disgusting rumors. After all, this isn't the first time they've resorted to these tactics. I don't like being in front of the media, and I didn't hold this press conference today for the sake of clearing my own nam
