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

Summer wore a white dress that made her look like a delicate flower that was in full bloom. As she ran against the wind, her hair was kissed by the golden hues of sunlight."Slow down!" Kristen was a bit frightened to see her running in high heels.Summer stopped in front of Kristen and smiled. "These shoes are super stable, Mom.""You're dressed like a fairy, so stop acting like a monkey!" Kristen tidied up Summer's hair.Summer smiled sweetly as she casually glanced up. That was when she saw a car that was parked not too far away."It's about time. Let's go." Kristen took Summer's hand and led her into the car.After Summer sat down, she stole another glance out the window."What is it?" Kristen asked, seeing that Summer seemed to be looking for something."It's nothing." Summer shook her head."Did you think it was Mason?" Kristen hit the nail on the head.Summer nodded. "Didn't he drive a car like that last time?""Summer, when did you and Mason meet?" Kristen asked."I

Everyone knew there were very few people in the world who could call Aspen their uncle. Upon hearing that remark, everyone stood up and looked to the entrance in shock.When the man stepped inside, everyone was shocked for a moment before they looked exasperated."It's him?""Even a bastard child has come to crash Royal Financial Group's shareholders' meeting. It looks like everyone related to the Hunt family is frantically trying to get a piece of the pie with Mason gone.""This can't go on. If Mason really gets removed today, or if he's really dead, then I'll sell all my shares right away."The room was buzzing with discussions.Aspen and Rosanna looked at the young man who just entered. Aspen's face was filled with disdain, as if the person wasn't worth talking to.Rosanna merely smiled. "Saul, didn't you say you weren't coming? What happened? Are you finally convinced that Mason is really dead?""Aunt Rosanna, Uncle Aspen just said that all this isn't important. What's impo

The room was buzzing with discussions.Saul let them go on for a while, and Rosanna looked more and more displeased.Saul glanced at her and noticed she was about to speak. So, he took the initiative and spoke first, "Everyone has been arguing the whole day, but it all boils down to two things everyone's afraid of. The first one is the threats my uncle has been making to you repeatedly…""Brat, what kind of nonsense are you saying?" Aspen shot up from his seat and pointed at Saul in rage.Saul did not panic as he continued, "The second one is that you're afraid that Mason's not dead yet. If you vote to remove him today and he's alive, then based on his personality, none of you will live peaceful lives anymore."Everyone was silent. Saul looked gentle and was quite soft-spoken, but everything he said seemed to send chills down their spines."Saul, what's the point of saying all of that?" Aspen sneered. "We're wasting our time here. Mason's not coming back no matter how much you ta

Kyle was baffled. Based on the original plan, things were definitely meant to progress this way. He looked at Saul in surprise.Was he an enemy or a friend? What was he going to do next?Yet, Saul didn't do anything after that. He merely shouted amid all the noise, "I've already cast my vote. No matter when you plan on starting the vote, I'm standing with Mason."Kyle was very confused.Then, with a slight nod, Saul walked out of the conference room."That's enough!" Aspen's head was hurting from all the arguing. He slammed a file on the desk, silencing the room with a loud bang."Kyle, you claim that Mason isn't dead, right?" He looked at Kyle with burning anger."He's not dead!" Kyle answered.Aspen gritted his teeth. "Fine! Fellow shareholders, this whole week, from the moment Mason disappeared, how many of our subsidiaries' stocks have dropped by over ten percent? Do you know how much money has been lost from this? That money is yours, too, isn't it?"Everyone frowned in s

"That's right, Mr. Griffin. We all want to know if something really happened to Mr. Mason," the others chimed in."I'll do my best to get Mr. Mason here," Kyle said."Don't just do your best. Let's set it at 10:00 am tomorrow. We'll reconvene this meeting then. If Mr. Mason doesn't appear then, we'll appoint an interim CEO to stabilize the situation. He can take over again once he returns from his vacation," Stephen said.Aspen looked at Stephen and sneered.That man really was cunning. He chose to sit on the fence, but he knew exactly how to phrase things when it came down to it. He chose not to offend anyone.Aspen would have despised him for it any other day, but this suggestion benefited him no matter how he looked at it.After all, Mason was dead. He had fired that bullet into Mason's chest himself. The dead could not come back.Besides, an interim CEO was as good as the official CEO."I support Stephen's suggestion." Aspen raised his hand.Those who were neutral all rais

On the other side of the city, a romantic-themed gala was happening by the riverside.There was a red carpet leading into the venue, with many reporters surrounding it. The celebrities that were attending the gala dressed up in glamorous outfits as they posed elegantly, pausing for photos before accepting interviews.Summer had no interest in joining the spectacle. She had exited the car earlier and entered the gala through a side entrance.Meanwhile, Kristen had been pushed straight to the red carpet by Summer.Taking advantage of Kristen walking onto the red carpet, Summer blended in with the staff. Then, she took out her phone and started snapping photos of Kristen.Kristen had rarely attended such events after she stepped away from the spotlight. The reporters seemed incredibly excited to see her. As they snapped photos of Kristen, they started to whisper excitedly among themselves."Does Kristen not age? How is her skin still so flawless despite her age?""You can do it, to

"It doesn't matter how big of a star they are. I can still help you. Tell me. Who is it?" Kristen pressed."The queen of actresses, Kristen Woods," Summer answered seriously.Kristen was stunned for a moment before she laughed. "Oh, you…""It's true. I love the powerful, and who's more impressive in the entertainment industry than my mother?" Summer said.Kristen was exasperated. "Keep your voice down. Be a bit more low-key."As they chatted, several familiar faces approached holding wine glasses."Kristen, it's been a long time. I heard you're joining the cast this time?" a bearded man asked. He seemed to be a director.Summer wasn't that familiar with the entertainment industry. She could recognize a few celebrities, but background roles like directors and screenwriters were a different story."That's the plan for now." Kristen nodded."So, are you making a comeback?" the man asked."If the film industry is still interested in me," Kristen replied tactfully.The man said i

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
